England's #1 badminton player is a Brit Indian!!!

Would you believe it ??

Went to Houslow Badminton Club y'day where England's current #1 ranked player Rajiv Ouseph ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajiv_Ouseph ) was coached and still plays.. His 2 sisters are also players.
The day before, Met them with their parents (from Kerala) during a Music program at Rasa Restaurant (Holiday Inn, King's X) .

It's inspiring to know what Mr Ouseph Sr. achieved, following his passion for the game.. his kids are ranked players at national level and his becoming the top ranked player in badminton's home country!!.. , who also became the first European Junior champion from England in 20yrs!.. Amazing!..

Mr Ouseph, from Thrissur, was telling that he came to UK in the 70's after graduating from Trivandrum Engg College as an electronics engr. He works for a company making electronic products for the military. But badminton is where his heart is, and he supervises and manages the Middlesex county badminton centre.
