MY TROPHIES AND MEDALS :)

While cleaning and arranging the cabinets of my house in India I thought to take some pics of my trophies and medals.Some of the trophies and medals are not there in the pics.May be later on I will take the pics of them.

This trophy is my best trophy that I have ever won from a tournament.That singles final match is unforgettable to me.I had won the first set.But lost the second set.In third set my opponent was leading by 10-2.I was so drained out and was feeling muscle cramps.Because within one day we had to play all the matches of singles.Then suddenly I was collapsed in the court because of sever muscle cramp.After some medical attendance when I was trying to play again I felt the cramp and I was moaning like anything.My club members told me to give the walk over.But I said no I won't give walk over.I will play.There were two reasons behind saying no to them.First of all it was matter of our club championship and my winning was very vital for the point tally.Secondly my doubles partner had ankle injury on same day while playing his singles and he was admitted to the hospital.Our club and myself had requested to the organizer to allow me to play doubles (which was held on following day) with any partner even from the lower flight.But neither the organizer nor the other clubs allowed me to play with other partner.I was very upset knowing that I am going to miss my doubles and my club is going to lose 2 sure points from doubles.Everybody was very much sure that we were going to win that doubles.So,I had only my singles match and I didn't want to give it up.My opponent and his club members were pressurizing the empires and the committee members to give up the result in favour of him.Thanks to my friends who are male nurse by profession.They really helped me to stand in the court.Game was restarted and I had decided to take as much time as possible to make the game little slow and to make my opponent impatient.He was so anxious to win that match.He was trying to make me run from corner to corner since he knows that I can not move because cramp.But I had decided to stay in the middle of the court and make him run.I was taking my time to serve by looking at the shuttle, testing the shuttle and some times checking the gutting of my racket.More I was taking time the more my opponent was getting impatient.I was tossing the shuttle right on the 3rd court and then dropping his returns very close to the net.When ever I was getting weak return I was just killing them.Because I knew I can't go for rally with my muscle cramp.He was doing lot of unforced errors as he was very anxious to win the match and I was taking away his match which he was going to win.The match was so exciting.Everyone in the stadium was screaming.I could here my friends and others were screaming out with my name.But I was so cool in the court.Because I knew that is the only way I could take the match from him and I did it.From 2-10 I won the set by 15-12.I was just lay down on my back in the court after winning the shot.My friends all jumped on me.I was sooooooooo....happy and I'd felt like I have won the world cup .Then after the doubles tournament we won the badminton championship of that year.Same year we became the champion in cricket also and that trophy looks like the same.

These are some good looking trophies of mine
