ALTERNATIVE

Playing competitive Cricket, Basketball for most of my life, i have faced all kinda sprains and injuries followed by minimum 3 weeks of rest. I hate it but if i wanna recover and not worsen the injury i need to chill out. My alternative during those rest period is swimming. I love to swim because it is a non impact all round body sport. Initially i used to swim like 10 mts and then rest, but now after making using for Tidel Park facility to the fullest i am now the shark of the pool. I can swim and swim and swim non stop for one hour. Its boring after that ..i really need a underwater ipod :-( ...I swim at my own pace. My skills were honed by my friend Ramesh Ananth (this dude can really swim....eh )  At least now i have an ALTERNATIVE during my recovery phase.

US & The Art Of Security

Bush paying surprise visits is now becoming an habit. Almost everyone knows his itinerary is not fixed due to security concerns but now its becoming more predictable. Yesterday he was in Afghanistan.  Earlier he had visited Iraq on Thanks Giving Day in a similar surprise visit. But wherever he goes, the air is so clean that germs also don't get through. Who knows maybe a surprise visit to the TAJ?
