Its that time of the year when our city is painted pink and red by these flocks of flamingos that migrate here to breed and feed on our fertile mudflats and wetlands. 

I was always a tomboy in my younger days where I used to play all the sports that all my guy friends played and that’s how I got introduced to football.

I started to “like” the early morning cold water swims when I was swimming in one of the club pools in Bangalore many years ago. I didn’t believe when people told me that cold water swimming is addictive.

I put them through swamps, sludge of mud, fresh running water and thick damp grasslands. And sure, they did not disappoint.
