I remember being a teenager going daily for my hourly swimming sessions. It was fun. The scorching summer months in Northern India meant me spending a large part of my afternoon playing with water and lots of it. I also recall getting frequent ear infections as a result of water entering my left ear. I used to wonder why it was only my LEFT ear at that time however was quick enough to forget after a short antibiotic course of medicines.
The same continued for a good part of my pre teen & early teen years. I can faintly recall my decision to stop my favorite sport, but mostly it was the frequent ear infections and we happily blamed the not-good-enough water and life went on. I took up another sport Tennis this time and spent a healthy part of my teen years playing Tennis all year round from 2002 – 2009. Ear? All well. Done. Forgotten.
