KOLKATA: Mahima Tete took up hockey at a very young age like most do in Simdega, Jharkhand. To everyone’s surprise though she left the game in 2012 at nine years of age.
“I didn’t feel like playing and I wanted to study, so I stopped playing,” said Mahima, who got her first call-up to represent India at a continental competition — the Junior Asia Cup — on Wednesday, during a telephonic interaction with TOI on Friday.
