Badminton Life

I was 6 years old.I still remember the day when i first held a racket.It was not voluntary.My mother made me do it with the sole purpose of getting me out of the house.She used to feed me the shuttles to help me gain a hand eye co-ordination.The way it started was not my first choice but it gave me another reason to be grateful to her.
Slowly i started developing interest in the game.I used to follow the game of Prakasham Uncle.He was a 50+ man with great enthusiasm and skill for the game.He was very friendly and awesomely witty.I used to sit and watch his game and when he was done i would persuade him to play with me.
I can't believe that i play with even more zeal now.This sport has given me more than anything else has.Friends,enemies,rivals,successes,failures,injuries,disappointments and moments are to name a few.But more than that it has given me another reason to live.I feel suffocated if i don't play for even a single day.Not just sports,it teaches lessons in life too.It has given me strength to recover.It gave me a tear in my ligament but not a single in my eye.Thats the beauty of this game.It doesn't matter how much tension is there in the guts of your racket.It matters how much guts you have when you are under tension.Badminton also teaches us to "love all" with the exception of the opponent,while on court.I also have developed an ego that i can beat anyone.It is the acceptance of a defeat yet rejection of anyone's superiority over me.When i am on the court i don't care whom i am representing or who my opponent is.I love playing with this attitude of "Ye Court mera hai aur mai iss court ka Jaykant Shikre".
I don't think anything,absolutely anything can stop me from playing Badminton.Nothing can take me away from this sport because I am Sport.I was not born with a racket but i am sure i will die with one.The kill at the net,the skill at the strokes,the drills to improve and the thrill of a fight gives me the will to go on and on.The smash of Dan,the speed of Lee,the class of Gade and Hidayat increase my motivation level.I extend my gratitude towards everyone who is responsible for my presence on the court.

In-dependence

During school days the significance of Independence day for me was only about having a holiday,getting sweets and doing unwanted march past.I always wondered what the fuss was all about.The more i grew the more i believed in my belief.Isn't Independence our birthright?Why are we wasting so much time,energy and attention on it's celebration.I mean its our basic requirement.No doubt it is important but it is just level 1.If we are giving it this much importance then how low are our standards?We need to rise above independence
.
And what do we mean by Independence?We are no longer slaves to the British empire.But aren't we still the  indirect slaves of the Ruling Govt?We are free slaves.The only freedom we have is to choose our master.India is independent,Indian's aren't.Untill all Indians are free we can't be truely free.
And what's the use of this formal Independence if we can't be dependable.We should be ashamed that we are still developing.Even a tumor develops faster than us.
What else are we proud of-Unity in diversity.Really?Even ever
y individual diverse element is divided over petty issues.We have to understand that sugarcoating crap doesn't make it edible.
You may say it is easy to criticize.But isn't it important as well.We can't improve if we can't see ourselves with an unadulterated mindset.Only after we achieve the right goals we get the right to feel proud.Otherwise the only difference between Freedom and slavery is that of a Golden Cage and an Open Drain.

Indian Chutiapa @ Olympics

In the ongoing Olympics,India is probably seeing the never before seen results.But i am not going to talk about these over glorified achievements.I am talking about about some of the IQ deprived decisions because of which a gold medal is still a mirage.
I would like to highlight the much hyped Tennis controversy about the misplaced egos of the players and the association .This was reminiscent of the Sheen-Chuck feud which ended up screwing 2 shows. Firstly,Finalizing the doubles combination at the last moment was an action of obvious stupidity.What were they thinking?This was not a Breadth-end sem.This is serious stuff.Moreover it was very clear that the only realistic hope for a medal was the mixed-doubles event in which Mahesh-Sania had already won 2 grand slams.The players failed to understand that this was not the issue of playing for India or for themselves.Getting a medal is a win-win in any case.Still they fought desperately for the doubles combination.Instead of keeping the ball in their court,they were showing off the balls in their shorts,ending up with no balls and giving a free hit to their opponents.
This event is just the tip of the Iceberg.Such internal chutiaps is one of the main reasons India can only dream for a gold while Kazakhstan already has 6 in its pocket.

I am after Federer and I am after Federer

Andy Murray was seen in full re-vengeance mode after defeating former world no 1 Djokovic recently."Djoker ka ,Rafa ka,sub ka badla lega ye Andy" quoted Murray inspired by GOW.Murray has stepped up to the challenge after a plaintive loss at Wimbledon.But he still blames Asit Godbole for deQuadirizing Federer and the officials for closing the roof."They disconnected me from God.That is so cruel".
Quite agitated on asked about being the favourite Brit, he says "Just prefixing it great dosn't make it that.It has to be made great by people like me"."Instead of supporting me the crowd should hoot Roger out of the match.I guarantee you that after our match the phrase "Roger that" will be extinct and so will Roger.A new phrase "hurray Murray" is coming soon" he continued.
Well i personally want Federer to punish Murray for making slighting remarks.This will add kerosene to his wounds and light it.


PS-All the statements made above are purely fictitious and any resemblance to truth only makes me awesomer.

Fear?...Check ✓

What is fear?It is the state of being afraid.If you are afraid to lose,it means you have definitely not lost yet.If you have lost,there is no fear.Fear ensures your chance to win.Fear is hope.Fear is opportunity.Fear is the path to win.When you overcome fear,you gain victory.And to overcome fear,fear is a prerequisite(not Mountain Dew).
It is okay,not to be fearless.It is also good that you have wasted a lot of chances.But if you remorse over the lost opportunities,you just lost another one.
Grab every chance to fight fear.Dare to get scared and then drop it like a bad habit.

Chikni Chameli-Alternate Lyrics

Isk ki beer ka, ye badan to bas chakna hai.......(chakna=complimentary snack)
Iski garmi me hai asli,maal usko bhi chakhna re

Bijli se jaldi ,tujhko jannat dikhane aayi
Isko chakh ke tu jaldi bhaag,
kyunki Munna hai mera bhaaai

Ayi chikni chameli,bikni pehen,Udaane teri kamai--4 times



Rangeen sham ka jaam hun pyaare
Aaisi masti chadhadungi mai
Dil se bhi gehre sagar me dubki lagwadungi mai

Banjar dilon me chaahat ki fasloon ko ugati hun mai
Khanjar jaise is jisam  se hi unko kaatungi  mai

Agneepath ka mai trailer hun,
Nashe ki retailer hun

Agneepath ka mai trailer hun,
Nashe ki retailer hun
Mujh se khud ko sek le jaraa

Khud ke-hi bukhaaron ka,mai paara chadhane aayi
Tere jaise-2 hazaaron ke,mai baara bajaane aayi


Ayi chikni chameli,bikni pehen,Udaane teri kamai--4 times 


Mere tirchi nazroon pe ,bol bacchan bhi hakla hai
Meri khushboo ko chakh ke,jungli sher bhi ab bakra hai

Is Dirty Picture ka,Abla parda uthaane aayi
Teri dil ke beaton ka,husni tabla bajaane aayi

Ayi chikni chameli,bikni pehen,Udaane teri kamai--4 times

Impossible

How to state whether a particular task is possible or not?It is simple to prove that it is possible.How?Do it.
If you want to prove that it is impossible,first you have to give your 100% and fail.Only then you can say that it is impossible.But the moment you say this,you have proved that you have not given your 100%.Because giving 100% excludes you from accepting failure.
This shows that it is not possible to prove the impossibility of a task.
      Everybody knows the time value of money but one has to understand that time is the biggest asset,not money.You have to consider the time value of time too.The more time you have spent the more is the value of each succeeding moment.For example in an objective exam,the last second bubble is almost priceless. If you don't understand the value of this asset(i.e time)  then you are it's liability.And there is nobody who doesn't want to get rid of their liabilities,especially not time.So instead of saying "it is impossible", why don't you rather prove otherwise?It is more likely that you will succeed.
