Augusto,
In response to your statement below, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Indoor Stadium at Campal, was filled with players and those waiting to play Badminton, when I visited it a couple of times, in 2008. It was not the case in the 80s, when often, I had to return home, after waiting for any playing partner to turn up for an hour! > But by and large, nowadays its another world altogether of course, as it is > the mobile phones, computers and bikes that kids prefer playing with, rather > than table tennis or badminton. Roshan Lal Nahar was the coach in the 70s and 80s and he used to put us through the grind with an iron hand!
