Nov 24

Godfather sent us a message today asking that we should not be giving withdrawl pangs to our readers, so here we are back again, busy blogging. Did we leave everyone wondering over our sudden disappearance? To be honest, we were in a meditative mode! no further explaining..

Topic for the day.. HYDROPHOBIA

Majority of us sailing on Mhadei have been hydrophobic some time or the other in our lives. Here are some details:-

Aish used to wail everytime her dad took her to the beach or mom took her for a shower.

Jammy remembers her fear of water as a kid and the innumerable times her ponytail being pulled by her mom everytime she
tried venturing into the waters.

VJ preferred dryswimming as a kid when her father would take her to bathe in the river Alaknanda and would scare her by hiding underwater for a long time.

Puko never saw a water body as a kid hence had an inherent fear for water

Shou would feel giddy whenever the water rose above knee level.

It is strange to see how fear and ones the way it is dealt with shapes the lives of individuals. And those who accept their fears get to board Mhadei!:D
..On a lighter note, you know now what keeps her sailing:)

Signing off with the Dufferin Anthem that may suit those set on a journey.

We are on the road
evening sunshine
colours
On the road to anywhere
With never a heartache
And never a care.
Got no homes, got no friends
Thankful for everything
The Good Lord sends
We are on the road....


And every mile stone
Seems to say, that
The road to anywhere
The road to anywhere

Will lead to somewhere
Some day

Nice post. Better to be hydrophobic on Mhadei lest we get the urge to jump overboard without warning!

I really enjoyed this post, it reminded me of my hydrophobic days 15 years back...
Keep writing many of us do wonder about the sea mystries...
