ROUND-UP For Kiran’s mother, Mrs Manjit Kaur Chahal, it was a nightmare when she learnt from television newscasts that hijacked airliners had hit the World Trade Center. At 5 p.m. (IST) on Thursday evening, Kiran’s mother helped this reporter have a telephonic talk with Kiran in New York. She said though there was gloom in the city, yet the people had started returning to their offices. She thought that Americans were true sportspersons as they did show the sportsman’s spirit by helping one another in this hour of crisis while maintaining their spirits. She was happy to make herself available to the hospital for 24-hour duty. Kiran said there was no shortage of blood and more and more donors were coming forward. Kiran said the values she had learnt on the badminton court during her sports career helped her a lot.
AITA TENNIS The AITA North Zone Tennis Tournament for boys and girls under 14 and 16 which concluded on Friday had attracted a large number of entries. It turned out to be good exposure for local players who won three of the four titles. This meet saw Kinshuk Sharma, a 12-year-old student of St John’s school, make it to the last eight in the under 14 section. Kinshuk was not in main draw and he had first to clear the qualifying rounds to reach this level, which added immensely to the confidence of this young boy. Tushar Liberhan, another city hope, and Neha Singh, showed their potential by winning titles. A local girl who can soon be a force to reckon with in the national circuit was Isha Toor. But what these players need at this stage is a permanent sponsor. |

Her main worry was for her son-in-law, Darsh, who is a pilot with American Airlines (AA). She had no way to know on which route he was flying. Her 10-hour ordeal came to an end when she got a telephone call on Wednesday morning from Kiran who told her that Darsh had his day off on Tuesday. Also his duty was on International flights.
