By profession he is Radiologist, who is fit enough to practice his profession in Pune, at the age of 75 years. But, more than that his keen enthusiasm in the game of table tennis, is really to be admired. Dr. Pramod Mulay and has been playing the game of Table Tennis actively, for the past 54 years. It was a pleasure meeting this cheerful person, at the P.J.Hindu Gymkhana , where he had come to play in the 69+ Veterans event, of the state veterans’ TT championship.

More than the game of table tennis or his medical profession, we talked about the requirement of fitness after 60. And, the jovial medical practitioner, was more than happy to share his thoughts. “There is no so called ‘retirement’ for any person, as long as he keeps himself busy enough, in an activity, which he enjoys the most. But, one should not over exert himself. If you are into any sports activity, there is nothing like it, to keep you happy and cheerful. But, the secret of happiness is in ‘giving’. How many people are willing to spend something from their own pocket, towards the welfare of poor and needy people? At least, I am doing it. If someone, who is poor and can’t afford to spend for an X ray, I don’t charge him. If I find any deserving, but poor young TT player, I provide him a bat and balls. And, this gives me immense pleasure,” he said.
In today’s materialistic world, it is very difficult to find people like Dr.Mulay; but, those who are in his company, would certainly be inspired, to follow him.
