about

// THE TENNIS CLUB OF BOMBAY //

lyrics

"They played tennis, badminton; polo was very common there. My uncle played a lot of tennis. Some of them were film stars and some of them were obviously English people you know? Because we had a contract with them and, you know, there used to be a lot of English people coming in and out of the house, American and English. Indian film stars like Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand and…uh, especially Raj Kapoor.

(Laughs) I used to play badminton. My uncle was a member of the NS, uh, the National Sports Stadium Club. Bombay is a port, an airport, a very famous seaport. Ships from all over the world come there. Big Hollywood, Bollywood, I should say, industry there.

I’d say to Laila – her name was Laila – I’d say “Laila, chup!” (laughs) you know, and Laila would (barks) (laughs). And, and, and of course Meena Kumari used to go up, climbing five stairs at a time, you know, she was very scared of dogs, which was not very nice [of me] now I think about it (laughs). But, c’est la vie, you know?

Very, very enjoyable time as a young girl in my unmarried days, you know. But…that’s, that’s another story."
