Badminton doubles is a game requiring synergy and active teamwork to persist and win. It's not about one's individual performance, insights, focus, and resilience. In mixed doubles- nay, in any doubles- you need to be 'hands in gloves' with your partner, even in terms of instincts. And this is a part that is somewhat difficult.. It does not just require shared practice, but also the same shared level of passion.  In fact, when there is a lack of practice or a gap in communication, it becomes tricky, where one or both partners may not enjoy the game at all. But unlike life, they can look for a more suitable partner and enjoy the thrills of the mixed doubles badminton. Even if you have a good partner, you might benefit from knowing some time tested mixed doubles techniques. Of course, if one just wants some laughter and fun, they only need to know the basic rules. The rules of mixed doubles are the same as the rules for the level doubles- the Women’s and Men’s double

It is believed that sports play a vital role in shaping one’s life. Not just personally but also professionally. Each sport teaches you different values and Badminton is no exception! What started as a summer camp went on to become a life changer for me.

I believe that a disciplined approach to games and life will bring victory at the end of both. If one had to start with a sport, I’d certainly recommend Badminton because it is quite easy. But you can’t learn it in a day, that is for sure. You have to be disciplined enough to keep trying to make something out of those early sessions. In the beginning stages, your hand-eye coordination will be tested. And whether it develops or stagnates depends on the second value that I mentioned-Concentration. Once you have put in a decent amount of hours with self-discipline to the game, you

I wonder if I can change that day. Back then, I was studying in the 9th standard. It was raining heavily on that afternoon. I, accompanied by mother, went for a district badminton selection trial, both of us drenched head to toe, in that heavy downpour. By the time we had reached, the venue was closed. So was my dream . Since my school days, I observed our apathy towards sports. We tend to consider sports either a recreational instrument or a way to grab suitable jobs, especially in families with low income. Sports - indoor and outdoor; individual and team- have their own role shaping a human. Sports activities develop both skills and character in tandem. During the ups and downs of my professional journey, I sensed a need for nurturing both body and mind. Sports is that magic wand. We see that the history of numerous sports-persona reflects remarkable resilience and drive. Muhammed Ali, Chris Evert, Kristin Otto, Novak Djokovic, Usain Bolt, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kapil Dev, P

A non-professional female player smashing the un-smashed , dropping cross-drops and returning men's' powerful smashes seem like an anomaly to many. For that matter, we get awestruck even when seeing professional female players like Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams do trick shots or when P.V Sindhu does a jump smash. Why is that? We seldom get surprised when Lin Dan does the same. Taking a casual look around sports facilities, we find that most of them are saturated with testosterone. But where are the women? For some, it’s a trade-off between taking care of the weekly laundry and playing two games of badminton. And for others, it’s a bargain between playing a game at an outdoor court - while it’s drizzling-and watching a sequel of a blockbuster Netflix series. It depends completely on the importance that they place on various things and on how much joy they draw from the same. Does the average woman still think, “Sports and physical activities are primarily
