>>>>Wasn't there a Pinto De Rosario from Porvorim? She is the daughter (forget the first name) of the famous mat doktor (Pint-Ruzar Ospital)...... was always elegantly dressed...in black pants and if memory is on the dot, she even made those 'tennis player' like noises. We'd turn up early if she was playing the round but she often didn't show!!!
She was a bawli on the circuit while the mausi from Madgao was straight off a Debonair centre fold!!! However, the one who was most irritated by the cat-calls from young followers of the women's TT was definitely Rita Gonsalves and Rashmi Rao. Sweet entertainment! Mambro (Suresh) never played or was it another Mambro. It was Deepa who was the outstanding one and I cannot visually forget her expression-less demeanor. On the circuit, there was a lot of innuendo and some gossip; there were the style-consious heros who never got beyond the quarter finals and there were ones who were focused, like Pandit and Nunes. So many memories. I bet you table tennis is not the same anymore.
