TN Travel- Top Spin
























This was another game i grew up with. It was played with such fervour in the 1970s
- on weekends, school vacations. It looks like this has almost disappeared now ,
except in a few tier 2 towns.

This photograph(1) taken on board the Madurai-Podanur passenger shows the

kid in the red shirt tying the thread around top and the photograph 2
shows the 'Top Spin"
( not to be confused with cricket leg spinners' top spin)

One of my favourites is spinning the top right into the palm of the hand
without allowing it to hit the ground...

A lesser challenge is to spin the Top on the ground and then try and take it
on to your palm
