" Since so long, I had adopted this attitude of me being a dancer to the music of the world. Whether the music is good or bad, I just have to find my way to dance to it. Rowing is in fact the best music I dance to, it's where I find myself. It's true what they say about it; a Symphony of motion. I can write a book about the feelings I get when I'm in the boat synchronizing my breath with every stroke, hearing the seat roll against the slider slowly until the oar blades catch the water and the boat accelerates with subtle fury. The sound of the oar knocking against the oar locks every time I turn the blades to get ready for the next stroke. It's that rhythm that pushes me and my team mates in the boat to push our limits. It's that beauty that makes us listen to our hearts rather than our brains. You'll hear your mind telling you to stop because of the pain, but you find yourself pulling harder because of the love you have for the sport that comes from within your heart. Heart > Mind. That's us Rowers."
