Varanasi - Travel experience

And here  i come with my new story of old golden days when i used to study in class 12th. I was a shuttler (Badminton player) during my schooling days & also travelled various parts of India for the badminton championships, This story is about my last badminton tournament that was held in varanasi uttarpradesh. (CBSE NATIONAL BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP )

On the first day of the trip i started off from my home,  met my friends. We were around 7 people from our school & 4 teams from delhi. Soon as the trip was about to began we occupied our seats. We didn't  even get to know when the trip finished as we all were busy playing uno watching movies and doing other stuff. Train stopped and we boarded to the buses of sunbeam lahartara school, where we were supposed to stay. The opening  ceremoney was grand & there we met many of our friends, who were from delhi too. That day when we went to sleep, we got to know that we are going to share our room with uttrakhand's sub junior team, we went to sleep as we were having match the next day.

The next day, from the very first time we started talking & became good friends,  though i was their senior they treated  me as a friend and karan was like brother to me, he discussed every thing that he was going though  & that he had crush on a girl named keertana who was from banglore. She was also competing in the tournament, obviously. He secretly used to follow her & soon also started talking to her as well.


Unfortunately jaycees public school lost in pre quarters (karan's school), & karan's team was unhappy so me & my team cheered them up & told them not to worry is it was their first nationals match. At  evening we played in swings had our dinner & went to sleep.

Every thing was going, in our semifinals we were having a tough match & the team we were going to meet in finals was prettty easier for us to take over.
The match was going intense,  at around 8 points remaining i dived to return the shuttle to the opponent & accidently  slipped. The pain was really horrible, our mentor narendra sir thought we should submit the match but some how i managed to get up & finally won the match somehow. 

After some time the body totally cooled down the pain increased but i played the singles match even after narendra sir's disapproval  obviously i lost as i was barely able to stand and the pain grew more after that match. I was taken to a physiotherapist  & he told that the muscle got ruptured i i strictly need rest. 

So for the main match that was finals, apparently our team became weaker as i was not playing the match,  but my substitute. He is amay he was very nervous that time as he waa new in our age category,  unfortunately we lost the match but our girls team won the tournament. Closing ceremony took place & we boarded to return home. As bus was about to start,  karan came running towards my window, wished me & gave an artical of a local newspaper that published my photo in it. Karan karan unpinned that article from sunbeam school's notice board, i could see water in his eyes & promised him that we will meet soon.

Jaunsar - The land of witches

Every child is fond of listening to stories, specially if the story is mysterious. When i was a child,  my nanaji used to  tell me stories of many mysterious places in uttrakhand. One of the heated topic on those stories were of jaunsar, a place in uttrakhand where people believe witches exist.  The story, that i remember from my nanaji's side is that once my nanaji's grandfather went to jaunsar for development of roads. Hence he wondered that all the stories from jaunsar were a myth & other engineers were not ready to go there, he got ready for the project of jaunsar. The day he reached jaunsar a cat tried to enter the flat alloted to him, which looked a little bigger than the normal cat. While the cat was trying to enter through the window, he threw wooden photo frame on the cat. He was really terrified by the cat because of it's abnormal size, he had understood that it was one of the witches of jaunsar. The next day when he woke up he noticed that one of the woman ...

Swala : Haunted village of uttrakhand

Uttrakhand is land of gods, and if god is there, the devils is there too. There are several places in uttrakhand that are considered as haunted by many of the people, and one of those places is sawla village. Sawla village lies in champawat district of uttrakhand, kumaon region.  There is a story that in 1950's, a military  vehicle was passing through that route, which accidentally fell down the road and all the soldiers were badly injured. They were screaming out of pain, people of sawla village rushed towards them & except helping them they looted all their belongings & left the soldiers there to die. From that day the ghosts of those soldiers are haunting the village & if anyone tries to enter the village, they drag him/her to the same place where they died. A temple was also made so that they stop haunting the village but nothing worked. To confirm if it's a myth or reality me and chachaji reached there one day.  We asked the people of nearby villages abou...
