Sure some things may feel a bit repetitive but it is by design I think and is anchored by some excellent performances all throughout.

It was the last B meet and it was packed to brim – the meet continued well in darkness and by the end parents were visibly tired and annoyed. Thankfully it was the last B meet!
Thanks to World Cup and summer swim over last few weeks I am completely out of loop on what’s happening in India and the protests I keep reading about. I am not ready to come back to normal life just yet.
