Today when my opened my newspaper pages, one car accident stayed in my heart. It took the life of 4 boys below 20 years age when their car fell into a river. Whenever I read such incidents, I always feel the need to learn swimming as a safety measure. I don't know to swim. What about you?

I also do not know how to swim. Every skill helps. Generally, I do not travel by river. so, lack of this skill does not matter so much. I remember as story. Once three persons, mathematician, doctor and poet were travelling in a boat. On the way, the mathematician asked the boatmen whether he knew some maths. The boatmen replied- No. The mathematician told that he had wasted 25% of his life. similarly, the doctor and poet said. Hence boatman had wasted 75% of his life. Soon, storm rocked the boat. The boatman asked- Do you know swimming. all the three said- NO. Then boatman said- You have wasted entire life. The storm will drown. I shall swim and go across.

I never learnt swimming. But I used to have interest in learning it.
