me When I joined Madras Management at the age of my 50 years , Association I started practicing tennis at the Indira Nagar Club,Adam, Chennai and lost in the Tennis Doubles annual tournament organised by our club in the final round . Every member of Indira Nagar club admired my energy ,commitment of practicing with the markers and how I played till final as a doubles partner in an amazing manner . When ever play tennis match I had that kolaveri to win the match. How I continued tennis after joining MMA, my boss used to be angry with me and I used to show that anger on the tennis ball and the marker with whom I used to practice was saying sir you were awesome while practicing that day . He asked me why and I informed him that I let off my steam and anger on the tennis ball because my boss blasted me and became good in the game of tennis . Next day when I attended office at MMA, my boss used to come to my cabin to say sorry that he was harsh on the previous evening . On another occasion my younger brother who was instrumental in motivating me to start learning the game of tennis at the age of 50 years ,informed me after about my a month's vigorous tennis practice with my marker are you a ready to play friendly tennis match with 2 of his colleagues from MN Dastur. He informed me that both his colleagues were very good in the game of Tennis . He asked me to join him as his partner in Tennis Match against them and challenged me saying if you don't play well as his partner against his colleagues of MN Dastur and Company Ltd, you better quit the game of tennis . He provoked me deliberately so that I would be play that tennis game with great intensity . Next day in the evening around 5PM,my brother's colleagues came in a beautiful tennis outfit like John Newcomb a legend in the game of tennis (It was a saturday evening )and with branded tennis shoes on and wore a colourful wrist band . They looked like a real tennis tournament players . My younger brother asked me are you mentally ready to play a champion game .I nodded my head and on looking at them I had a butterfly in my stomach . With my brother is a very good player tennis and I just started learning tennis at that point of time and had a month's vigorousc practice . The moment I heard start Love all , I was bit nervous and my brother colleagues started off playing a champion game by serving aces against us and my brother could return their aces to their court with consummate ease . When my turn came to be ready to face their serving deadly aces which were quite in unretrievable , I was sweating profusely and I could not handle their deadly aces and the tennis ball whizzed past me in a unbelievable speed leaving me stranded with my jaw dropping saying awesome serve . We were down 0-3 since I could not retrieve any of their aces served at me with deadly speed ,my younger provoked me you better give up your game of tennis . That was the last straw on the camel's back for me . Something came over me and I replied to my brother saying watch me from now on and I would win this game for you . With a burning desire I determined to return their deadly aces and when I did , I could retrieve their aces to hit powerfully back at their base line by deftly placing the tennis ball deceiving them to go to their other side of base line at the tennis court . Played like this with lot of intensity for the next 10 minutes and I could see we could beat them 6-3. This continued in the next game also and I played with great intensity and a burning desire ,we could beat them again with score at 6-4. My younger brother was astonished and his colleagues from MN Dastur said Balachandran awesome display of returning our aces .In sport you must have that Kolavveri mind set to project yourself in a win win situation and this also helps you to mould your personality and makes you very social with others . Have I triggered you early in the morning to get seized for a different mind set to kick start your day, be some one from now on to add value by making a difference in your area of work . That is turbocharger Balachandran for you . Adieu.
