Geneva Journals- The Cold Lake Dip

My cold shower story goes back to Bangalore days in 2016. Like they say, temperature is relevant-in 2016, Bangalore winters seemed cold to me. After that, I went to Rajasthan and began to experience North Indian winters. I was getting adapted to Rajasthan weather and managed to have cold showers only when I didn't had option of heating my water. When I moved to Geneva, I always wanted to enjoy the lake swims and cold lake dips. In 2023, I couldn't go near the water. As the year began, Snigdha suggested for a cold lake dip and in February while the temperature was 8-10 degrees celsius, Snigdha, Grusha, Ani and I visited the lake and had a lake dip. I was keen to try out cold lake dips since then. 




When I returned to Geneva after a long break and autumn kicked in, I visited the lake and had my cold lake dip. I felt very refreshed and ever since, I was regular to the lake and enjoyed cold lake dips. Mostly on fridays, I visited the lake and had my swim. Another memorable cold lake dip was, just after the Berlin trip. 








I had an extensive trip at Berlin and Leipzig. I had my first exhibition in Germany and was overwhelmed by the reception and abundance I had in life. No sooner I landed in Geneva, than I headed to the lake at night and had a cold lake dip. It was a refreshing one.


                                            

I also began my birthday with a cold lake dip enjoying the cloudy weather. From now on, will be regular with my cold showers and cold lake dips. A great way to celebreat human endurance.
