ALL ROADS LEAD TO SWIM




Every man, for that matter, every woman has a dream. A dream an individual cherishes and has close to his or her heart. Every Dream has a time span and every individual wants to see his or her dream come true. You start as a child with some dream in your eyes. You grow up and the dreams start to take shape. In the life of women comes a time when you have to take a break from your professional life to meet your family obligations. And when you see the prospect of those dreams turning into reality, you mostly go through this period of mid life professional crisis –crisis, because you need to take a break of unknown duration.. It is at this point that you have to take a call whether you want to refocus yourself on the target post break or call it quits. You have copious reasons to abandon that dream but one sole reason to pursue your dream –the joy to see your dream crystallize into reality in spite of all the road blocks.
SWIM 2008 celebrates and deliberates this issue with an aim in giving an insight on this particular issue. The celebrities from different walks of life join people at Great Lakes Institute of Management at Green Park Hotel, Vadapalani, Chennai on 12th Aug to unlock this mystery.
