Champ in the family

Well, you see, I didn't become a Wimbledon champion. Or an anything champion. When our college hostel wing of twelve skinny dudes decided to field a cricket team, I couldn't make the first eleven. (Luckily they didn't try choosing a second eleven. I may not have made that one either).

So maybe all that's why I am so unreservedly happy and proud that my nephew Neel is winning tournaments.

I rallied with him in March and that was tough; if we tried it again today, I suspect he'd run me off the court and I'd be thrilled nevertheless. (If gasping for breath). So go Neel!

Wrong punctuation, Dilip. The periods should be inside the brackets in this case.

Okay, kill me.

That's wonderful! Which reminds me that we should play sometime...

Anurag, yeah, this intent to play has gone on for too long. We need to turn it into actual whacking on the court soon.
