Apropos Union Gov’s decision to destroy #DelhiGymkhanaClub my views: 1. I joined it in 1978/79 (applied in 1974). My father wasn’t a member. 2. Only all-India services & military officers got membership routinely. 3. The club, besides its other services, was famous for its tennis & squash facilities. Famous writer/journalist Khushwant Singh played tennis there till his 90s 4. The elected committees may’ve performed poorly, making gov nominate members. 5. As my old friend @thekiranbedi has opined Del Gym Club is a repository of sporting, services & cultural memories. Destroying it is untenable.

पैरों में चप्पल भी नहीं है दोनों के आँखो में आसु बाबू जी मेरी लड़की वापस ला दो बुराडी थाना पुलिस फ़ोन भी नहीं उठाता @DcpNorthDelhi आपके मिलने भर से इन्हें साहस मिलेगा हमें विश्वास है @DelhiPolice जल्दी ही इनकी बेटी वापस लाएगी मैं इनकी मदद करूँगा और आप @SanjeevSanskrit

This is unfortunate. It is truly tragic. ( Hope the proposal is reconsidered) @arunjaitley got a new pool constructed during his life time. Some of the finest tennis matches have been played here. So much history, so many memories, and generations of sporting excellence are associated with this place. The Delhi Gymkhana Club is not just a property — it is part of our institutional and sporting heritage. Change may be necessary, but history and legacy deserve thoughtful preservation. We can plan to add something new there too… ndtv.com/india-news/del…
