It all started when amby had this desire to learn swimming.. The skeptics that we were, me and anzu dint join.. After all what is amby going to do in swimming pool? he will splash around in the water for a a few days, and will realise he cant swim and he will stop.. why waste time.. ??
So after a couple of weeks, me and anzu decided to go to the pool and see what was going on.. the journey was part of our cycle practice so that we could buy one soon.. being 25 year olds with very less experience on cycles, we decided it was better if we practiced a bit before went and bought one.. So one afternoon at around 3- 3:30 we went to the pool.. Amby was alone there, slogging it out all by himself.. And he was a "kulam kalakki" .. He said he could swim and he swam across the breadth 3 times to show us.. He was splashing the water all around.. This aint gonna work.. So we hung around for a while and then went back to our cycling.. A month went by like that and in between Doney also joined.. So after a month when amby said he learned swimming, i dint believe him.. I mean how far could he get will all the splashing? So when me and Nikri went to see him swim, we were astonished.. The water dint even ripple when he swam across the pool.. (along the length).. it was awesome.. So we spread the story.. Now hearing this, some 12-15 malayaalees registered for swimming.. We appointed Amby as our instructor.. So it was quite like the "ambalakkulam" during vacation.. Some 10- 12 guys in the pool, all making noise.. shouting, screaming.. trying to learn.. playing games.. it was all fun.. Problem was instructor just went one step further and started concentrating on his diving skills and us poor non-swimmers were left to slug it out ourselves.. We went for swimming for around 2-3 weeks.. It was getting nowhere and the water was getting colder and colder.. And the exam seasons were starting , we decided it best if did it next semester.. (Main reason was, we were lazy to do it)..
Though i dint learnit, it was really fun.. how we raced along the breadth, how we did the mushroom float that anzu learned from net.. And how anzu learned swimming from watching videos from net... It was all real fun...
