Now, Jaydeep has gone AWOL.

Hope they are both well. Would love to hear from them about their welfare.
I wrote to Jaydeep and he replied that he is swamped with work and hence has not been able to visit the Sports-India Forum.

Ah. Thanks for the welfare check, Suresh.

@Jaydeep—good to know you’re doing well. Busy at work is good.

Sandeep is ok, just moved onto the next phase of life I think for the past few years - business, family and so on.

I think for most of us - we tend of have phases where we have free time and tend to be super active. Then somewhere down the line, life takes over to move to the next phase and one never gets to return to this hobby with the same intensity again.

I was active in our forum from 2003-07 with WTA Hyd open in my neighbourhood. Then turned passive as I started work. Then slowly became active again from 2015 after I moved to Europe as Tennis was all around me. Now I am likely hooked for life given my permanent location (Europe) and with a bit of foot in the thick of action via ITD (luckily or unluckily).

I am guessing the same with Jaydeep too, in terms of other priorities in life taking over during the COVID phase.

We should probably have a WhatsApp group setup of forumers (though will be counter productive if we start using it as a discussion space).

I also started following the forum at the time Sania Mirza won WTA title in Hyderabad. ( I guess in 2005) and being hooked ever since. Do not recall too many days when I have not posted here since last 10-12 years at least or more. Certainly have not missed reading forum for a single day. But, yes, lot of old time regulars are missing.

It's good to know about the status of Jaydeep, Sandeep , but always knew that these old members some one of our regulars were in touch or have their contact details, or say Puneets ,PKB is in touch with him, so never was really alarmed by their absence, as had confidence some one could immediately check on their well being.

It is JIC which is most worrying,  and hope someone can take the initiative in reaching to him or his aquantaince with whatever liitle lead or prior knowledge they had about him(JIC).

Oldies like me joined this forum in our thirties and are now in the mid to late fifties. It is amazing to see this forum continue to function thanks to a (dynamical) subset of active members. As Vishnu correctly points out, the activity of any given member is a function of where they are in life.

Maybe we should have a roster with all our contact info. Or a WhatsApp group like Vishnu suggested. If someone goes missing, we can at least call and check on them.

I am glad so many old timers are still somewhat regular. Bhushan ji’s passing was really tough for me to digest.

I believe this is JIC. He’s supposed to be in Hyderabad after being in Canada for years.

https://contactout.com/Jai-Shankar-3942181

This site has very detailed info on him but a bit dated. It also has a masked hotmail address.

There is no such person working at Amazon by that name in Hyderabad.

I don't think Jai had said that he was moving to Amazon, Hyderabad, permanently. He was probably going there for only a medium-term assignment last year for a few months?

I’ve done LinkedIn lookup extensively. No luck there. I also didn’t imply that he’s still at Amazon. He had mentioned that after years of splitting time, he had found peace in Hyderabad and had made it his home.

I just hope he’s doing well. He hasn’t even logged in the forum, let alone posting his usual play on words about names.

Maybe there’s an IP check that moderators can use to locate his last login to the forum.

I had sent him a PM, but he never responded.
