When Maria Rony last played in Kerala table tennis circuit five years ago, there was a vibrant bunch of girls who gave a good fight to each other.
Maria, the Karnataka State women’s singles champion, is back in Kerala now but many familiar faces are missing.
“So much has changed. Seraha is the only name standing...almost all from my batch have stopped now. Now many kids, like Pranati (Nair), are there,” said Maria, in a chat with The Hindu, from Alappuzha, on Thursday evening.
