Banging about in Bangalore
Every Sunday in the Russel market area of Bangalore in a dismal, drab room future champions of the game are taking it very seriously.
The world champion for the past two years, Mr. D.M. Shankara plays here.
He used to play on the streets and made bamboo baskets for a living.
Mr. Wilson started the club to encourage new players and also to keep his hand in.
He used to play at State level.
In these clubs they charge about Rs 10 per hour to play.
However it’s over 25 years since I visited Bangalore, the garden city, and friends have told me it is busy, busy, busy.
You can read the complete newspaper article about Bangalore’s carrom club.
Silicon Valley of india.
Bangalore is built on a plateau of a mountain, so forget the valley, you know what I mean.
It’s time some computer company sponsored these clubs and new players.
The money involved would be chicken feed to some of them.
If any of you do I’ll write nice things about you here.
