In one sense all are freshers and starters. Until unless someone provide us opportunity to explore or learn we will not go forward. But in the same sense once we reach some position we should be able to give chance for starters or initiators. Be it be education, be it be job, learning new things, sports, driving or be it be any other works.
It has been more than a year I started playing badminton daily. Before getting membership to the badminton club I waited for 2 months and I went there more than 10 times to beg for membership. Finally I got admission to the badminton club. It was my first day I went with non-marking shoes and with sports wear. And I went early at 4pm. Others started coming at 4.30. I was like asking each person to play with me. But none of them were interested since I was beginner. That day I could not play since no one gave me chance to play with them. I did warm up and came back. 2nd day I went there with some hopes, but no luck.Again I came back by not playing. 3rd day I requested a senior person he strictly told 'NO' with arrogance. I told him 'fine no problem'.
The same day I saw a school kid was playing alone. I asked him can we play. He was happy and beginner too :) then we both played little bit and went back. I did not have feeling that I was playing with school kid. For few days we started playing together and his mother was happy, since I would able to teach him few shots in the sport. After some days we both picked up very well. And meanwhile many school kids started joining us. It was fun with them. I played for 3 months with them. And whoever joins newly I use to play with them and teach them.
One day the same senior person who told me No, was sitting alone since his partner did not come that day. I was playing with these kids. after sometime he called me saying that can you play with me today? I was shocked and replied yes with big smile:) That day fortunately or unfortunately he lost all 3 games. though I did not wanted to win over him. Then after that whenever his partner is not there he use to call me for playing. And Yesterday he asked me to play with him regularly!!! I told sorry sir, I do enjoy in playing with middle level players and with beginners. But I'll play with you whenever your partner is not there.
I should be thankful to those school kids who gave me chance to play with them :) and I still continue to play with beginners :) may be I dont want to become a champion by playing with good players. I just want to play for fun and maintain my health. And now a days if anyone joins and if he asks other players to play with him, they say that may be 'Chetan will play with you' ;)
