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.
