Badminton and buddies!!

S.U.P.W --some useful periods wasted...The saga of the SUPW options in school ..ooo ..such a tuff decision ...should i take up western music ?...should i take up indian music ?...should i take up badminton ?...



should i take up home science? ..err.. no ...took up western music for a week and my teacher informed me that i had no particular talent except for whining that i did not understand "the words" of the angrezi numbers ...took up indian music ..broke a couple of tablas and a couple of tumblers in the bathroom(Yeah i was a powerful singer as my friend so eloquently put it! ) ...then badminton (Yes this I liked !! and was a lil decent at ! anything for an hour of play ) ...me and mah buddy B decided that this was going to be it ...i enjoyed kicking his derierre at the game and then the new age happened...class XI (how pretentious !) and new faces in school ...and someof them played baddy (pun intended!) ...two girls prance upto this gladiator display on the court with shuttlecocks et all and say they want to play ...fine okay !! ...I had never ever lost a game to B till that day and that fateful day OHHH ..when i had to play dubbles with one lady on my team and the other in B's team ... needless to say the fourplay wasnt fun !!! i was losing !! disaster ..unmitigated disaster ..i whined, complained and said i wanted to exchange partners and B the charmin bugger actually bent down on his knees to hand the shuttle cock to his new pardner ...phew ..some people should just be banned theyre bad influenza for the game .. we lost ..i cribbed and was generally sullen throughout and this seems to have left a lasting impression on the better halves of the mixed dubbles .. this lasted throughout my beard growing years (neah never successful!!) ...they hated me .. i think i deserved it ....Through the years every time we meet that game always comes up for discussion and she has never ceased to give me grief about it .. ...Wudnt exchange it for anything though !...everytime i hear a sportsperson say " Oh this game has given me so much " it takes on a whole new meaning ...through this game i met some of the people who have been my best wishers and friends throughout(Yes ! Bi and He and Ni and Di and Dee)..and to think i was stupid enough to whine about losing ... hah ...In baddy ..everyone's a winner :)...
