NaBloMoPO - Day 1

This is my first attempt with NaBloPoMO......I was influenced by a freind, whos blog i follow everyday, though i started blogging 2 years ago, wasnt a regular blogger and used to write about social issues and news that affected me......lets see how much i keep up with this....
To all my freinds, who dont know wahts NaBloPoMO - it stands for National Blog Posting Month, wherein any blogger who signsup, got to post something everyday regularly for the month. I decided to join and this month, the theme is NOW......wherein we get to write about topics given for everyday of the month and for today, 1st June is - " When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up???
When i was little, i didnt really thought of what i wanted to become when i growup.....as this is a common question asked in most of the Indian household, I always used to say, that will decide whe thetime comes ( thats whe am in the final years of high school). But, internally, i was hoping to become a national Badminton player, winning tournaments for the country and earning fame.....Badminton used to be my passion during my childhood. It all started when i was 10, whe we moved from Arcot, a small town near Chennai, India, to Sipcot and the house we rented was bang opposite a badminton club. One evening, when me and my brother went to have a look at whats happening, inside and started watching the seniors play......the das went by and the owner of the club invited us to play for free (no subscription at all...). Our parents bought us the badminton racket and me and my brother started playing.....beng amateur players, we were allowed to play only in teh early evenings or late evening when the club is about to close and not in the peak hours, which was dominated by the paying seniors. Me and my brother will play early evening, watch the seniors play in the peak hour and play again late evenings....slowly couple of seniors took interest in training us, and we improved our game so well that wewere allowed to play in the peak hours with the seniors....slowly we started bringin in more kids of our age in the neighbourhood to play and we did even conducted a tournament.....It all ended when i was in high school and played in the interschool state championships, representing my school, winning district, inter district and finally loosing in Inter division level....the next level would have been state level and if i have gonethrough, might have put in more time and effort into the sport. Unfortunate and in majority Indian families, sports are not considered to be a worthy profession to pursue, so i decided to enter Hospitality industry. So did catering, worked in hotels and now a Chef here in London.......the good news is, after years of neglect, i started playing here in London and guess what my game is still good, though i play now only for fun and not the zeal and vigour that i used to play with passion, when i was a kid.......
