Beating the Barriers of Age

Leander Paes’ feat of winning his 14th Grand Slam is a big inspiration not only for the youth of this country but also for youngsters across the world (“Leander Paes, The Ageless Warrior”, September 23). He has proved that age is no bar when it comes to achieving success in sport. Adisciplined lifestyle, mental strength and the will to win are qualities that every sportsperson can learn from him. He has made India proud. JACOB SAHAYAM, via email
