Badminton memories -
Badminton has always been my favorite sport.In my 6th standard , sitting near window I used to watch other people playing badminton. Obviously they used to play on the road with simple rackets and their main motive was not to play just to time pass.
I later got fascinated by the sport and decide to join coaching.I searched and found there was only one court nearby my place and that was"bawan chawl badminton court".It was big hall cum badminton court plus table tennis court run by railway authorities.Many times authorities gave the hall for marriages and next day we had to clean the court.Coaching fees were nearly 600 rupees per month.I started going for coaching while I was in 6th.There was only one big hall with single court having measurements which were not appropriate. It was extra large court.
On the first day I was asked to wear white cloths.Next day me and my mom were looking for decent sportswear .We were searching in shops and came across one shop.we entered the shop to look for white cloths .Shopkeeper misunderstood us and showed white tshirt of Donbosco school which was costing around 200 .I recognized the mistake and asked shopkeeper "kaka sports tshirt dakhva "(uncle show us sports tshirt) . shopkeeper later showed branded tshirts of nike,reebok,addidas,puma etc which were not less than 2000 rupees. Both were just t-shirts the only difference was the logo.previous one had don bosco school's logo and rest had well established manufacturers logo.We decided to buy donbosco school's tshirt and sports shorts.Next day when I went for coaching everyone asked me only one question "how could you wear same tshirt for school and same for coaching ?"(I wasted my 1st day in explaining each and everyone about the incidence).Later new people used to ask me the same question , my reply changed according to time.I started giving answer " this is the only shirt I have"to save my time.
