I just finished another amazing India tour! From TED India conference to hooping it up around the subcontinent!

John, — Sagar, Ayesha the Bengali and Delhi hoop lovers, little Buddah and the Bengal Club, this trip enjoyed rediscoveries and many new friends along the way. They are all in my heart and I take their memories with me on my journey.

The only casualty of the trip was a few missed taxis’s, a reserved but unpaid air ticket and a pair of broken glass frames, that happened during one of the drills. Hmm, I wonder how that happened . . . Coach? ? ?
It was also the first time in my (almost 4 years) and 150_+ days of clinics in India, I brought along a couple of friends.
Craig Esherick (Former Head coach at Georgetown University) and Dr. Bob Baker (Head of sports Management at George Mason University came and did great job. Showing them MY India gave me immense pleasure, its always-fun watch how the Indian players and coaches respond!
I even met the famous Indian singer, Usha Uthup – now that is an amazing woman!
Some Indian TV love:
Newly appointed by President Obama, The US Ambassador to India, Timothy Roemer dropped in unexpectedly and took part in the drills then gave impromptu chat to the kids. His message to the youth was to dream big!
The Ambassador even mentioned (unbeknownst to me) that his three kids had been to one of my camps and loved it! I was surprised and humbled for sure!
A lot more in store for the next month, so stay tuned!
Clearly, I am having a hard time distinguishing where is home these days, as they say in India – I am here, only.
I could write more, but videos can tell a million words out these trip hi-lites:
