Remembering Banu

                                                                                DQ 20, IISc- 2012
She was dark and small
With rustic energy
And full of charm
For all who remember
A fiery bat with her,
A dream that never ended
As the children waited
To try the impossible
Mighty, silent and the shy
All alike, she could so drive,
On this women’s day
I choose to remember
A coach, a friend
As I can picture her
To whom every child was special;
 
RIP Banu.

(Shamshad Banu was a TT champion from Andhra Pradesh and coached children in Bangalore. She accompanied the Bangalore zone TT group of KV, which included Atish-Anish and her daughter in the year 1998. She also coached Akash at Guru Nanak Bhavan in the later years.)
