Of carrom men and a queen: Pocketing the best from the game
Chandigarh, March 30 Since childhood, Srinivas was least interested in studies. Seeing this, his brothers wanted him to join the family business. However, his habit of playing carrom for hours soon became a passion. “I have four brothers and they all wanted me to work at our salon. I, however, wanted to achieve something on my won. I passed my Class X examination with 45 per cent marks. Now for the past two years I am struggling hard to pass the senior secondary exams due to the ongoing championships. I am not that good in studies, but can play carrom for hours. Some people say this is the only thing that I know. In fact, this game has given me everything that I have,” he said. “I started playing the game in 2003. My brother is a very good player; he taught me how to pocket the right disk at the right time. Although he is not a professional, he is my first teacher and we played carrom for passing time. I started participating in various carrom tournaments and slowly honed my skills. At the age of 17 and a half, I received the joining letter from the IOC,” he said. In North India, carrom might not be considered as a part of the sports culture, but the game can open many avenues for good players, he said. Srinivas has represented the nation at various international tournaments including the SAARC Asian World Championship in both singles and doubles categories. Besides playing a number of national tournaments, he has also competed in the Federation Cup. Apoorva’s tryst with carrom started at the age of eight. Today she is 31 and her love for the game has only strengthened with time. Her father, a national-level player, taught her the basic skills of the game. Soon after nurturing her skills, the Hyderabad girl represented the nation at the World Championship 2004 in Sri Lanka. “I got job on the basis of my performance in carrom. In my city, the game was not so popular, but now the local association organises tournaments every year and we are producing very talented players,” said Apoorva. She has also competed at the ICF Cup 2003 in France, besides playing various tournaments including the SAARC events. “The game has given me a lot, but it needs a lot of improvements. It needs recognition,” she said. Game in need of money
The game needs more money, says 37-year-old Yogesh Udhyanbhan Perdesi. A former world champion and three-time SAARC Carrom Championship winner, Perdesi is a well-known figure in the world of carrom. The Pune-based player, who has been playing the game for the past 21 years, said carrom should be considered as a “real sport”. “People need to understand that like other games, carrom too needs a lot of concentration. We also plan and find a way to execute them during a game,” he said. Perdesi won the 2008 World Championship in France. He also represented India at the World Cup in 2006 and 2010 at Delhi and USA respectively. “The game provides jobs to youngsters and gives them a chance to make their name. In a recent recruitment drive, around 25 players were hired by various governmental organisations. There is a lot of scope for players to grow; all we need is to broaden our mindset. There should be cash prizes for winners. Even at the international tournaments, winners are never awarded cash prizes,” he said. Laying stress on regular practice, he said, “A player needs to practice for at least 6 to 7 hours a day. Yoga is among the most important exercise and should be done on a regular basis,” Perdesi said. |
