Pain in the ear… yet again.
Here I am battling serious ear infection with the pain making me feel that it is even worse than probably the pain experienced by women during childbirth (due apologies women). And who is to blame? Me, myself and I. Shameless that I am. What are my problems with the ear? Due to swimming I oftenContinue reading “Pain in the ear… yet again.”
Gymkhana Elections – Such a hullabaloo
Tomorrow is the big day or so it seems at Matunga Gymkhana as we have the Elections and the AGM too. One may wonder what is there to post about? This is the first time honestly that I will be voting at MG. Last year had attended the AGM and honestly it was an exerciseContinue reading “Gymkhana Elections – Such a hullabaloo”
A really long domain name
Internet is a funny place:-) Everyone these days has a domain registered but whether they use it or not is another matter altogether. If websites are made out, they are rarely updated. For the past few years that I have been actively using some facility or the other at Matunga Gymkhana, I always have lookedContinue reading “A really long domain name”
Free style swimming finally:-)
A journey that began a year and a half ago…. And finally I can say that I have got the hang of free style swimming. This is considered the simplest of strokes I am told but for me it has been one of the most difficult tasks. Breast stroke was a cake walk but thisContinue reading “Free style swimming finally:-)”

My first AGM of Matunga Gymkhana
I attended the AGM of Matunga Gymkhana for the first time today despite being a member for almost 5 years. The experience was nothing to write home about. People came in with their personal (bloated) egos in tow and the only objective I thought they had was to object to any and everything possible (muchContinue reading “My first AGM of Matunga Gymkhana”
The sheer pleasure of swimming
Just returned after a good 90 minutes of swimming at Matunga Gymkhana and I must admit it is a sheer delight. It is difficult to muster the courage to learn it in your mid-life I know but been there, done that so just overcome that mental hurdle and take the plunge literally. I am noContinue reading “The sheer pleasure of swimming”
Swimming finally
It is gratifying indeed to have done 13 laps today of Breast stroke at Matunga Gymkhana (The pool is not big so don’t get any ideas). Finally …. yes I am swimming whatever little I can. It is quite an effort at this age to learn swimming but thanks to Kavya, I am now swimming.Continue reading “Swimming finally”
X’mas in the air
Christmas is just 2 days away and I can sense the festivity in the air. Not because of anything else but Kavya who is all revved up. She thinks Santa Claus still exists and will come down with her gift. Now she wants to know why there is no fireplace or a chimney in ourContinue reading “X’mas in the air”
