One activity that I used to love, uh, playing watchds. That been done though I don’t have recently toldd badminton recently but I used to enjoy it a lot during my childhood. So what you used to do is us used to get up early in the morning and the paddy field used to be bare during winter so we used to get up early and uh, gather all of our friends and you used to go in the field and play badminton. So most of the time we used to play with our cousins but if anyone would like to join and we would not just stop them playing with us but we would welcome them warmly. And I think that um, because of my cousins are uh, really helpful. I also learned it la really quickly and uh, being in friends itself is a really good thing. So what we used to do was we used to play, we used to have some rules and we people, we break that rule and we used to play out of the game and, and we need to really wait for our talk to come. So that was what really it uh, it kept the game interesting. And now also I have not played badminton for like two years but, and uh, the last time I played it my hand uh, went so for up to two days because I uh, played that after a long time. So um, I don’t have a friends right now so I haven’t played it a while. But whenever I see my friends oray to meet them I really get nostalgic of how we used to play. And if we ever get a chance and be free from our daily uh, life routine then we would really love to play it again in some days. So that is the one thing that I used to love a lot. Uh, but nowadays I have not been able to sports free that much.

One activity that I used to love playing was badminton. I haven't played it recently, but I used to enjoy it a lot during my childhood. We would get up early in the morning, especially during the winter when the paddy fields were bare. We'd gather all our friends and head to the field to play. Most of the time, we played with our cousins, but we always welcomed anyone who wanted to join in. I think I learned quickly because my cousins were really helpful, and being with friends made it even more enjoyable. We had some rules, and if someone broke a rule, they were out of the game for a while. This kept the game interesting. I haven't played badminton for about two years now. The last time I played, my hand was sore for two days because I hadn't played in so long. I don't have many friends in the area right now, so I haven't played in a while. But whenever I see my friends, I get nostalgic about how we used to play. If we ever get a chance and are free from our daily routines, we would love to play again. Badminton is something I used to love a lot, but I haven't been able to play as much lately.
