Yesterday, an interesting article in the newspaper caught my attention. The article read about management tactics MNCs used to reduce the stress level in their employees. Reading the article distressed me. I can imagine how good the employees may feel.

Rock climbing, horse riding, river rafting, paragliding are the tactics MNCs are employing to fight stress. MNCs, nowadays, organize such events on a monthly basis to avoid stress. There are several professional companies in the market that help these MNCs arrange these events. Imagine working in such a company where you got to dedicate yourself to such extreme sports and get paid for it.

I have always loved extreme adventure sports. I always wanted to engage myself in such sports but never had a chance. Expect for horse riding, I have never practiced any other adventure sport. The horse-riding thing also didn’t last for more than 2 daysL. Actually, any kinda adventure sport excites me. But, being a typical Piscean, water excites me the most. Thinking of sports like White water rafting, water surfing, water rappelling, water skiing, scuba diving etc send chills through my spine. During my recent trip to Goa, I experienced the thrill of riding a motor scooter at about 90-100 Mph on the blue waters of Calungute beach. This was my first experience at water sport and I thoroughly enjoyed. Speed excites me. And speed on water is just an added bonus. I have had several experiences of speeding on road when I drive at over a 100 Kmph on my car or my friends bike. But, speeding on water in a different experience. Million and millions of tiny water droplets hitting your face, jumping over the huge white waves is a real thrill. Miss Goa for this.

I want to indulge myself in such sports. But these sports prove to be a bit too expensive. But what the heck. Its exciting and this is what matters. I know of a place in Virar where people enjoy paragliding from the high mountains. But, dunno why, I am scared of heights. But, I wanna give it a try. Just to remove the fear from my mind.

I have yet another dream in life. (Pisceans love to dream.. J) I wanna go north and experience white water rafting on the wild rivers flowing from the Himalayas between November and February. Any person interested in dreaming with me about the same (and accomplishing it also some day), stay in touch.
