A fabulous Squash weekend.
These are pictures from the reception that Asish threw for Joshna this weekend. What an end to a fun tournament at the LA Athletic Club.
Pic 1: L to R:
M, Joshna Chinappa (Indian #1, Junior british champion, junior world runner up), Thojo, Natalie Grainger (World #4, South Africa/USA), Sahar (Umar's and Rosemeen's child), Rachel Grinham (world #3, Australia, and we found out from talking at length with her, a very nice person), Vanessa Atkinson (world #2, the Netherlands).
Note: all of these top women were world #1 at some point or the other.
Pic 2: Holding Sahar in this picture is Nicol David, current world #1 Women's Squash player. 3rd from left in this picture, Natalie is also the president of WISPA.
Pic 3: Here's a picture with Asish Law, the man. A great host and a great Squash enthusiast who's doing a lot for Squash in Southern California.
Pic 4: L to R: M, Bob Hanscom (Squash director of the LA athletic club) and Rodney "Rod" Symington, one the top referees in the world. We had the good fortune of attending a seminar on refereeing from him on Saturday. At the reception, we had a lot of fun chatting with him. The conversation was so good and we shouted so much above the crowd that I lost my voice by the time we got around to the awesome conversation with Rachel later.
We had to leave early to drive back to Santa Barbara. Wish we could have stayed a little longer.
