Rajshree the Drizzling and Dazzling Swimming Diva HBD

 Rajshree, the iconically stunning Drizzling and Dazzling Swimming Diva

Rang de Basanti....

Rajshree, the iconically stunning Drizzling and Dazzling Swimming Diva of the Batch of 91-94, wish you lots n lots of freely flowing and splashing joyful returns of Day.

From day one of our life at LNCPE Rajshree had got everyone talking about her style and flair like some celebrity.

Fabulous 4/Chuddy Buddies

Rajshree along with her three closest peers aka Sonal, Prema and Smita was most talked about happening and admired girls of the batch and college.

Rajshree, Sonal, Prema and Smita were so closely knitted togather that they were Langotia Yaar version of boys, more precisely the Chuddy Buddies. These foursome were awesome, together they were known as 'Fabulous 4.'

Fabulous 4 always used to move around as a single unit and were badly capturing and striking the imaginations of the poor chaps of the batch. Even our seniors at Pratap House or any other house were their admirer, they would keep enquiring about these Dazzling Divas.

Aura of Fabulous 4 Dazzling Divas was so bold and firy that none of us could dare to go near them. It was only one of our Crazy Commando like Tharki chap who had a bit of guts to go and get talking to them, even though he too used to get shooed away by them but he too was a stubborn chap, he never left trying and trying.

Rajshree, the magnetically admiring girl, besides so many vocal admirer, how many silent admirer were there of her and Fabulous 4, they would never know. 

At hostels no night of the boys would go without talking about all batch girls, but talks of Fabulous 4 would kill everyone.

I can't forget the moments when I came across to have my maiden look at Rajshree in real action in the pool of LNCPE.

MAIDEN LOOK AT LONE SWIMMING GIRL 

At LNCPE Gwalior I came across to see and swim in a swimming pool first ever time in my life.

Football being my blood and Swimming being like a happy and active virus in my blood, in first year I used to hit the pool of LNCPE everyday to keep my swimming viruses happy. 

One day I hit the pool bit early, Swimming specialization boys and girls were still moving in the pool. But attention was captured by a girl in black swimming costume with white strip from sides. She was swimming so swiftly and gracefully like a fish. 

"Who is that girl?" I asked Rajkumar Tripathi aka Golu, one of our classmate and also a Soft Tharki Pratapian, from swimming specialization. 

"She is Rajshree, our batchmate," he replied.

"She is the best girl of the pool and she is the one and only swimming girl of our batch," he added. 

I kept watching at her as I found something special in her swimming style, she was appearing to be like some professional swimmer.

Finding me gazing at her so keenly, Golu naughtily said in sense of warning, "Pahadi Bhai, beware, she is a Jat girl."

"Oh! Bhai I'm not so adventurous, but yaar she is swimming so gracefully, she is looking like flying in the water," I made my admiring comment.

But Golu kept looking at me and said naughtily again, "That's fine but still remember, she is a Jat girl." 

I made my stand clear to him, "Bhai I know that being unpredictable and  explosive is a special in-built feature of Jats. I know that how unpredictable and explosive our Jat chaps like Praveen Solanki, Rajesh Dhaka or Satish Bhalotia are. How could a Jat girl be an exception?"

"But Golu Yaar, she is swimming so nicely, I can't take my eyes off from her, I'll see her from a safe distance only, without letting anyone know," I further ensured him about my safety measures.

"She beats most of the boys also in the pool," Golu further enlightened me.

"What about you? Do you also get beaten by her?" I asked him.

Golu said nothing but smiled and winked at me with soft wickedness.

REALITY BITES

Football my Love

but

Swimming my Crush

Till that moment I used to consider myself an iconic swimmer of my village, capable of swimming in any type of flow or depth of Ramganga and Kosi river. Swimming in flooded river was my favorite misadventure, me and my brainless childhood friends used to challenge each other for doing something mad in the deadly dangerous flooded river.

But after watching Rajshree swimming, my opinion about myself changed completely. Her graceful swimming style made me to realise that I was nothing more than an crappy immature swimmer. 

The mesmerizing glimpses of Rajshree's graceful swimming got imprinted somewhere in my mind as an ideal swimmer. I had become a silent follower of her (swimming).

When pool was open for non swimmers i enjoyed and practiced swimming. 

In 2nd year I was in swimming advance group. I was learning more by motivation got by watching her than the lessons taught by swimming teachers or seniors. I started liking and doing good in Backstroke.

Eklavya Finds Dronachraya 

I was learning from her like Eklavya used to learn from Dronacharya from a safe unnoticeable distance without the knowledge of Dronacharya.

For me it was like Distance Learning Swimming Coaching Program without any fee.

I was getting better and better in Backstroke, I kept pampering myself, I was my own kid. I always used to give myself very good grades 🤣🤣🤣

My Backstroke

I was getting better in backstroke 🏊🤣🤗

I don't know how many of my friends remember this, 👇

in 2nd year in swimming intramural in medley relay i swam 50mt Backstroke and my 2 fellow competitors were perhaps seniors of Swimming specialization. I didn't know how to take a good turn from the wall, despite that i completed the 50mt lap almost at par with  2 very able swimming seniors. 

I felt strange that no notice was taken of my this performance by any teacher or seniors, but I had satisfied myself well. I was progressing by leaps and bounds under the coaching of my invisible coach.

Swimmers in Off-season

Motivated by this i decided to follow Rajshree more to know, what swimmers do when they are away from the pool

One winter morning, after activity and before the breakfast i came to pool n gym area I noticed the presence of Fabulous 4 inside the Gym area.

As usual Fabulous 4 were together, Rajshree was giving them demo of sit-ups and stretching at the wooden wall-bars at far right corner of the gym hall, moments later they left. I was surprised that swimmers need to do sit-ups also. I decided to test my capacity to do sit-ups.

I hit the gym room at far end of the hall, there were few boys already doing exercises and stretching. Sanjay Soni, one of the most sacred soul of the batch, also was there in the gym working on his dole-shole. 

I started doing sit-ups, he was counting. To everyone's surprise I did more than 250 sit-up NON STOP in one go. I myself was more surprised than anyone else.

 Oh my God, How a crappy chap could do those huge no. of sit-ups? Was my invisible coach coaching me that well 🤔

My basic instinct for swimming and my attraction towards her beautiful swimming ways made me to pass through from so many splashing 🏊🏊🏊 twists n turns.

Swimming = Bread n Butter

Swimming had got infested inside me so badly that years later i started my career in Delhi as a Swimming Coach. I got to work in some reputed organizations and schools of Delhi. More than Football I was a swimming coach there.

Funny thing was that I knew GHANTA (🔔) about swimming technicalities, But in Delhi we were treated as swimming experts from LNCPE. In School PTM huge number of parents with their kids would come to me seeking my expert advice regarding swimming.

Funnier thing was that I used of give them all a good lecture on swimming techniques as if I was the coach of Michael Phelps. 

Funniest thing was that they would take my words so seriously and go happy and satisfied. 

Actually while dealing with swimming technicalities, I used to imagine myself watching you swimming in the pool and Prof Dabas Sir instructing from the side of the pool.

Fun apart, I must tell you that teaching swimming to so many beginners is not an easy job and besides being hard responsibilities of a pool, swimming jobs are risky also which needs a lot of concentration and patience. That was the magic LNCPE had pumped inside us, as even a non-swimmer of LNCPE was handling the pool and swimming students so satisfactorily. 

Thanks Rajshree for the swimming skills which she never taught me but I learned from her🤗🤗

She never spoke to me but I listened a lot from her. 

Attraction of Rajshree's swimming ways had made me a swimming bug at LNCPE

My request to all my friends specially those who are teachers, please whatever you do, do it with utmost sincerity as you never know who is following you from which angle or getting his or her inspiration from you🙏🙏🙏 

Really LNCPE produces versatile Physical Education personnel. Even their non-swimming chaps are as good as a real swimming teacher.

 Thanks to my alma mater and to my undeclared swimming coach 🙏😍

Again thanks to Rajshree again for making my life so SWIMMING-FUL 🏊🏊🏊🏊🏊

Rajshree the girl who kept rocking and kept dazzling & ruling the atmosphere with her guts n style at college. She is still continuing the same trend but in different capacity. 

Leader

Princi to Principal

Presently she is heading the Fabindia School, a fabulous school in Rajasthan. She is facilitating so many kids to see the dreams on bigger horizon and equipping them with capabilities to convert those dreams in to realities.

May she be blessed with best of her abilities as she is on a mission to give wings of hope to Gen-Next.
