It used to happen only when i was in High School but, today i realised it still  takes guts to do it!

So the power people decided to be mean with electricity today. Hour after hour, i waited, waited and waited- no power.Finally, I decided it was time to do the deed. The simple task of bathing with a cold bucket of water. I sighed, took a deep breath the kind you take before a really heavy punishment and begun the process.

I rubbed soap on my face towel and made sure it was as thick with foam-you scrub once and thoroughly and your done! The second it came into contact with my body, i finally realised what it felt like to be electricuted not by electricity but by water. Scrubbing thoroughly every inch of my skin was done and now, for the most dreadful bit. The rinse. I paused and thought, maybe i should just wipe off the soap with my towel- I mean technically, i’m clean all the sweat , dust that i accumilated has been scrubbed off right?!

Anyway, i set out to do this and so i must. I stared at the water, it stared back at me with “are you chicken?” stare. I realized it was my reflection. Should I, should i not? Somewhere between the battle in my head, i felt this cold electrifying water all over my body. i guess my subconscious decided to get it over and done with than freeze to death! inside my head my consious mind was wailing for help. Then, in relief my body fights back with an amazing heat wave- phew! It was over. I took my towel and hugged it in relief and as i look back, i finally know how Bolt felt when he won the gold.  For me the simple task of a cold shower has always been daunting, but, what can i say – I coquered!

So go ahead take a cold shower today, you will feel alive and alert. Not to mention you conquer and become a hero(oine) against Body odour. Like they say- Yes! we can!
