I work at a bank but have always been very passionate about carrom. For more than 30 years, I have been participating in every state carrom tournament. This game has made me what I am today including my career. This game taught me to be patient, concentrate for long hours, and perform under tremendous pressure.
My daughters Ish*ta and Aarya are extremely passionate about badminton. Last year, Aarya was ranked 3rd in Maharashtra State in the U13 singles category. Both of them are used to putting real hard work by training close to 4-5 hours a day. Since they started professional badminton, I have seen both of them mature very fast and be more responsible in their studies too.
As far as Mumbai games is concerned, all of us thoroughly enjoyed the sporting atmosphere in season 1 last year. There was immense high levels of energy in the air. I think this kind of event will help our country imbibe a culture of sports leading our country to become a true sporting nation…
My message to all the parents is that they should allow their children to grow up in their passion so that they lead their lives filled with real happiness. And most importantly not to retire them from their sporting life at 15 years of age.
