My practice was going good.Everyday i use to come at 5.30 swim with the junior group relax and go.This went for 4 to 5 months and my speed was pretty good too,i was unable to cope-up with studies,nevertheless i was engaged in a good sport.But in every group formed in this world there has to be a gabbar in it.In my swimming there was a gabbar who was jealous of me and my brothers fast growing speed.Every time between the session he use to throw our kit,bottles,vigorously splash water but we never replied him or did the same.Our coached announced that 3 weeks later there's going to be a competition whoever wanna participate please fill the form..I and my bro we excitedly filled it and paid all the fees and were practicing with full determination.3 week kaise chale gaye pata bhi nahi chala.The competition was in Khar in a club named Khar Gymkhana.The competition was very well organised,it had to be good after all it was my first competition.Like me i saw many kids with same kind of hopes,i made many new friends of new race and from different clubs.The order of the event was arranged according ascending order of ages..mine was the smallest age group.The races of higher age groups were unbelievably good.My turn took to long but at last it came and i was ready .The pool had 5 lanes i was in the lane 3.I knew that i am the best and no can defeat me.The whistle blew and i dived.The race was of 50mts freestyle and the pool was of 25 mts so 2 rounds of the pool,i swam very fast with my all possible speed and and for a moment i saw behind, there was nobody around me that means i was first and i touched and with a cheer i came out and my mouth remained open,I WAS LAST ,everyone else had finished before me.Guys believe me that moment is very embarrassing,i just wanted something to mask my face and wanted to leave the place.I came out of the pool and cried.My dad appreciated me and hugged me and made me understand that winning is not every thing,i participated that itself is very good and even this was my first competition.The guy who came first was very fast.At that moment everything seemed to be negative and i lost hope in swimming at first competition itself.Everything seemed to be depressing,i was not able to concentrate anywhere.Then someone came who was very positive and made me understand the value of being in a sport,that persons words touched me and with a hope i started to swim again..i pray god that give that person a long life............guess whoz that person?............................
