DATE OF BIRTH: 17-1-1948 A tomboy from childhood, I was always into physical activity... and being surrounded by a lot of boy cousins it was always langdi (running with one leg), running races, chor police etc. My father was an avid squash player at the CCI and also ranked on the Indian circuit. This led me into taking up squash at the age of fourteen although I had been playing badminton, table tennis, swimming etc.Squash had me hooked
within a year and with Yusuf Khan, the driving force and motivation, there
was no looling back. In the next few years I won the Western India
two or three times. During my college days I did not play a lot as I
was doing my B.Sc after which I went to England to to Ph.D. In 1974, the
nationals were held in Mumbai and it coincided with my holiday at home and
that was the year I won the Nationals. In England, although I was
requested to play on the University of Manchester team, I could not due to
the research I had undertaken in biotechnology. After I completed my
studies, I returned to India in 1976, got married in 1977 and played
sporadically due to problem of membership. Then I had a daughter and
moved to south Mumbai and got membership at CCI. Thereafter I have
been regular at squash, entering all tournaments though unable to travel
outside because of family commitments. I have also been fascinated by martial arts. I studied judo at the age of 40 and acquired a blue belt but did not finish my black belt. Again, family responsibilities. The innumerable falls on the judo mat almost completely eliminated sprains and hurts on the squash courts. After a fall I just bounce up and play the next shot. Just shows how cross training in an invaluable aid for sport. For the aspiring yougsters, I can only say that there is no substitute for hard work and dedication and if you have to excel you have to discipline yourself for regular workouts everyday in spite of the heavy burden of studies imposed by schools these days. |
