I have been getting too many request of people who willing to play and looking for partners but mostly end up not finding one due to communication gap of a missing forum where they can interact with one another.
I intend to create a players directory with the details about their Name/Email/Phone#(Optional)/Area/Club/Playing Schedule & Timmings/Level of Game/Additional Info column.
I have started looking for websites that would provide such a directory service for my blog, I will update it as I find one.
Till then this section is incomplete. Thanks for all the interest everyone has showed in this blog.

Introduction To The Page
I think this is an important posting in my blog and I should have come up with it earlier.
I'm passionate about this Game (I know many of you are) and at the same time sorry for the state of this game currently in India and not to mention Karnataka and in particular Bangalore.
I have noticed many other people are interested and passionate about this game in the city but unfortunately due to the lack of information and infrastructure they are not able pursue their passion.
So I thought of consolidating all the info I could collect from various sources onto this page for the benefit of the game and the people who love it.
I have currently posted Table Tennis accessories Retailers and Suppliers in Bangalore I could think of, I would be nice if you could go to the link and add more to it under the comment section. Also feedback and experience about these Retailers would be good to know for everyone's benefit.
I've also posted the list of Places and Table Tennis Clubs in Bangalore, please add generously to this list under the comment section so that people know the nearest place to play and enjoy this game.
Further there is an archive section which has the links of T.T. videos for download I could collect, it would be good if you could add anything you know by going to link's comment section.
Please note nothing is perfect and not to mention there is always a room for improvement which obviously cannot happen without feedbacks so If you like or dislike anything about this so called portal please leave a note for appreciation, displeasure or suggestion in the comment section of this post.

Table Tennis Archives
I just thought we should also have a TT archives section with link to the Table Tennis videos that can be downloaded, as we all know this sports is not covered by the channels most of the times.
Check for the Comments section for the links to download and postings.

Buy Table Tennis Accessories and Gears
I intend to list all the places in Bangalore who sell T.T. equipments and accessories, when one knows all these places in Bangalore the players who buy from them would be benefited with a healthy competition, hopefully.
Note: Please read the comments to know about the stores also add comment and rate these stores based on your experiences and let us know the details about any new Dealer you know for the benefit of everyone. It would be good to add a signature footnote with your name/initials/email id, if you are adding the note as an Anonymous user so that we can get back to you. We could use these comments as a forum to interact with each other.

Table Tennis in Bangalore
Well the title of this blog is very ironical to the actual situation in bangalore of this wonderful and one of the fastest game.
I didn't want to start this blog with a negative note but I think it is good to know about the actual situation and accept the facts rather than being superstitious and tinkerous about how to start a note.
This sports is non-Existent in the state and when bangalore doesn't have an organization that is truly interested in promoting this wonderful game let alone other cities of the state.
When I mean non-Existent i.e. there is no government or non-profit organization currently that is taking any steps to promote this game (like cricket or any other glamorous sports) but fortunately we do have some people who are running small clubs and camps to train beginners and provide facilities to enthusiasts to enjoy this game.
I thought every state should have it's own TT organization to promote the game in the state like cricket. If not that, they should atleast provide a facility where one can practice, a facility that is affiliated to the state TT association.
Anyways now I think it is for the people who love this sports to do the same.
