Dear Diary,

Misfortunes never follow a calendar. They come uninvited. I was sitting at the deeper side of
the NDMC swimming pool. A strong and sturdy boy came. He mocked me by saying, "Hey
skinny!" Before I could react, the muscular rascal pushed me into the pool. I found myself at the
bottom. The depth of the pool was not less than nine feet. I didn't know how to swim. I
struggled to come up. My arms and legs were totally paralysed. I felt suffocated. I thought that
my end was near. Later on, when I came to senses, I found myself vomiting at the other end of
the pool. I pledged myself to become a perfect swimmer. I employed a professional trainer. He
was a hard taskmaster and made me sweat three hours for weeks. He taught me inhaling,
exhaling and diving into the pool. My hard labour and my trainer's professional coaching were
rewarded. I participated in a swimming competition organised by a local club. And the most
unexpected happened. I led the rest by a comfortable margin. My dream had come true. I had
become a perfect swimmer.
