I read recently that Meyhar Bhasin hosted a game of carom.
Where? When? Who were the players?
If anyone has any photos, or better still a video, please send us a copy and we will post it here.
She would make a great ambassador for Carrom.
She’s beautiful, famous, intelligent and she could help raise the profile of the game.
Of course, she is also extremely busy with her Meyhar Bhasin academy.
Newspaper article here tells of her latest venture.
There was a young fellow called Tom
His favourite game was carrom
He played all day long
Never potted one wrong
Look him up on carromassociation.com
Below is a short list of carrom clubs with their own web page, in the USA.
I will add to it as I find more.
In the meantime if any of my readers know of others with a web page please send the details to us and we will be more than happy to add it to the list.
I am also making another list with details of other clubs in the States, with contact numbers and basic information.
You will have to contact them direct for more specific details if you want to join them.
Once more I would like to include as many carrom clubs as possible so please tell us of any you know.
Thanks.
Chicago Carrom Club.
Connecticut Carrom Club
Richmond Carrom
I’ve been asked if a player is ambidextrous is he allowed to use either hand or must he use the same hand he starts with, all through the game?
I wrote a post about left-handed people a while ago, but I never got much of a response.
I still don’t know of any left-handed carrom players.
So I expect there will be even less about ambidextrous players.
Wouldn’t it be great to be ambidextrous, though.
Although now that most people use computers to write letters etc. maybe we will all strenghten our left, if we’re right handed, and vice versa.
In the meantime I’ve written to 
and as soon as I recieve a reply I will let you know.
Anil has written and asked the following question;
At the end of the Board if I put my last except queen coin what points is been considered to the opposite side.
It is foul if we defence the opposite coin without touching my coin and defensive play is an international rules or not.
Shrawan Khade also wrote and needs an answer to the question below;
I would like to know about the defence. can we do defence without striking my coins?
Answers please, on a postcard.
Sorry, just an old joke that’s not even funny any more.
However I would appreciate some help as would Anil and Shrawan.
Salman Khan
Salman Khan likes beautiful things and to prove it he has designed a van for himself.
“Salmanbhai’s van will be like his second house. This is why he wanted to design this van himself. The van will cost Rs 80 lakh. He wanted enough space in the van to park his Suzuki Hayabusa bike too, In all likelihood, the van will be ready by May 5.”
says our source.
It will cost around Rs 80 lakh Rupees.That’s nearly £100,000.
The best thing about it will be a corner where he can play carrom and other games.
Wonder if he’d sponsor some competitions?
He could call it “The Salman Khan Carrom Contest”.
We need some photos of him playing the game.
Think how that would lift Carrom’s profile if he appeared in some photos of a glossy mag., playing Carrom to relax after a hard day’s filming?
There will be two rooms in the Carromavan, a private one and a second room for meetings.
He also gets a top of the range music system, a plasma TV, a huge collection of DVDs, refrigerator, coffee machine, toilet and a shower.
The interior will be decorated using paintings done by Bhai’s himself.
More details about the Carromavan and more Salman Khan facts.
K. Sahaya Bharathi of Chennai won the men’s singles title in the final of the Tamil Nadu State-carrom tournament organised by LIC Sports and Recreation Club at Madurai on Sunday.
Why are all these Carrom results written in such dry, factual terms and never any photos or human interest?
I want to see a photo of the champions, old and new.
How much money did he win, if any?
How old is he?
Is he handsome, or super-intelligent or rich?
Everyone had some interesting things about them.
Ask the right questions.
To raise Carrom’s profile in the sporting world, we need some characters.
So come on, all you Asian sports reporters, let’s see a bit more interest in your job and more interesting facts in your columns, please.
Carrom players cum rickshaw wallahs waiting for the next game or fare.
The photo was taken by a lucky young lady in Puducherry, near Aureville, India.
Have a look at her blog, it’s very interesting.
Here is a video of the French Carrom champion.
He potted all the blacks and the queen in less than two minutes.
Watch out, everyone.
Sorry about the music!
