Where is Navin?

Where are you my friend?
Are you Ok?
We are not seeing you here for a while, please let us know if everything is fine with you.

I was wondering that myself, there's been no sign of him since the upgrade.

That is unusual, Navin's a Post-osaurus Rex. Hope everything's good with him too.

Haha!! Post-osaurus Rex... too funny!

My apologies, Gents. I've been away for a while focusing on my table tennis career... I'm now sponsored by 2 table tennis companies... Paddle Palace in Portland Oregon, and Tom Ryan who is a custom table tennis paddle maker in southern California.

For those of you who don't know, I was a nationally ranked U.S. table tennis player 20 years ago, got burned out from the game and took a leave of absence for 20 years. Recently I played in a doubles table tennis tournament on a cruise ship to Bermuda and my brother in law and I won the whole tournament which got my interest back in the game.

The reason why I got sponsored is so that I can help promote the game of table tennis as being good for the heart and hopefully inspire others to take up this great game. i've lost about 5 pounds already from competitively playing this game and taking private lessons from my coach, a former #1 ranked U.S. player and former Chinese national team member.

As for my Aero leather jacket I have on order, Aero hasn't started on it yet so it will probably be a while before I get the jacket... no worries since I'm not in any rush and have my Aero NYPD jacket to wear everyday.

Today is a very special day for me because it marks exactly the 1 year point from when my infant daughter was born (October 27, 2009)... I can't believe she's already a one year old... time just flies!

Hope you all are doing well, and my apologies if I worried anyone due to my absence from the forums here. It's truly an honor for me to have earned everyone's respect here... I respect you all as well.

Cheers,
Navin

Great to hear that you are in good health and exercising your "Passion" for table tennis!:eusa_clap

 

[too much coffee]

So here's Navin, playing hooky from the Lounge out on a cruise ship to Bermuda. He and his bro in law kick big ash at the Cruise Ship Open Table Tennis Tournament (again off the island of Bermuda mind you), gets sponsered to play table tennis not from one but from two major sponsers, is healthier by virtue of his weight loss, comes back from the Bermuda cruise and is celebrating with his family, the birthday of his youngest daughter. And we're all concerned about his welfare!!
Geez, even Griff went into withdrawls. Glad to hear your doing fine..........best of luck with the ping pong.
Best regards, coffee

Navin,

Good to get an update from you. Sounds like you were out having a "ball"... (yes, I'll keep my day job)

Also thanks for the update on Project Navin #2. I've been anxiously waiting to see what surprise creation you have in store..

 

[Navin323i]

Oh wow!! The site finally has a multi-quote feature, haha!
The only thing I don't like is how all the text is garbled and mashed together at the top of my screen to the left of where it says, "Log Out". Do any of you have this same issue on your screen?

Please see my responses below, Gents...

Hi Navin

Thanks Dav! It's great to be back and equally good to see you too, my friend.

Haha! Thanks Coffee! Your posts always bring out a huge smile in me and make me laugh... thank you so much for doing that.

Haha! Definitely having a "ball"... a small ball that moves at speeds approaching 100 miles per hour, believe it or not.
Yeah, I'm sorry I don't have too much updates on my new Aero jacket but hopefully it will come soon since I'm close to the 12 week mark I think.
