"This is a shuttle cock. Not a tennis ball yaar".
Each time I hear this statement, I feel a pang deep inside.
Yesterday evening, it reached my ears. When Shreya, a kid from the neighbourhood asked me to play Badminton with her.
I have never known how to play Badminton. That is because, I have played Lawn Tennis. Always.
I was fascinated by this game. As a kid, I grew up watching my cousin playing it.
I still remember the day as such.
September 10, 1999
Playing against Surabhi Kalia. Distt Level.
I was one point behind her. When I suffered that Bronchitis attack. I went breathless and everything turned dark.
My mom says I was all blue.
You know how moms are.
I was forbidden to watch the game even on TV then on.
10 years almost.
Anyhow, they say, "life is what happens when everything is going fine".
P.S. I know I had never become a Sania Mirza. :D

a sweet-sad post dis time. btw,badminton's my fav outdoor sport.
make the most of the other things u did instead!
Sometimes some things are just not meant to be!like i always wanted to be a singer but destiny had other things in store for me.
hmmm...m sure u r doin great in wateva u r doin now...n u r gonna b d best in wateva field u choose...
god always chooses d best things for u...
i sometimes think i have been lucky to be a part of what i had imagined.
touch wood i m happy in my space :)
Yeah! U cud not become Sania Mirza coz u were destined to be someone really special...
These experiences have made u the wonderful person that you are and I am glad I know you.
ok, tennis and me have a sad past too...
so, really...
But even today, i feel bad when i see others playing tennis and doing well...
:)
Heil Richa... Heil Richa... Heil Richa...
Our own, very proud and great Tennis Player.......!!!!
ohh!!! i like richa the dynamite over richa the tennis pro.. jsut imagien fi u really became a tennis pro then you would be too busy for me.. hmmph!! see i have a point here.. and id say everything happens for our own good!! :")
*HUGS* babes you are simply the best.. :)
See... Had u gone on to play on in the WTA, u'd never have met ppl as wonderful as us. :)
Anyway, am so glad to hear u r a tennis fan... And, as they say - everything happens for a reason.
Take care.
*smiles*
Peace. Be well.
anyways sania mirza never crosses the first round of a torunament .. rarely does she go to the second round..
and when she has mahesh for her partner she wins the crown..

Aww. Bittersweet huh?
But everything happens for a reason. Have faith. :)
If not tennis, then play badminton! Play it like lawn tennis ;) If fate means you to lose, give it a good fight anyway!
Awww mothers are like that .. over protective at times..
don worry am sure God has some great plans for your future...
Even i believe in everything happening for a reason..
so cheer up gal!!
obv it wasnt fatal..hehe..
badminton's a lame game anyway..i prefer tennis handsdown...
aur toh aur..u turned into a terrific blogger whereas sania is stuck somewhere in the doldrums..so i guess u win..;-)
and u have us..;-)
luv

Hmmm i agree...
life is what happens when everything is going fine....
it sucks sometimes u know when life stops for a second while you were really running fine with everything...
I read it somewhere "when you dont expect anything, you would be happiest in the world and life wouldnt matter to you when you are happy..."
But not expecting anything.....errrr
is that possible? by us? we are humans right?
So its sort of diplomatic you see..
Coming back to offline things..
Thanks for visiting my blog..I appreciate that and glad if u really liked it..:)
Cheers
That was a complement Champ....
lol..and i could never figure how 2 play tennis...AND i hate bronchitis ... played spoilsport with me too
It sucks when something like bronchitis doesn't let you follow your heart... but then again, that's how life can be at times.
Take care, cheers...
