I have been fascinated with the Boomerang since the age of 13 when my aunt first gifted me one. I the became fortunate to become Guru Ken Colbung’s only Indian disciple in 1991and the first Indian to not just throw but even carve a Boomerang, My Guru, Mr. Ken Colbung, was an Australian aboriginal and former chairman of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies. My first international appearance was at Jamboori, in Perth, Australia, in 1994, and even got the chance to play with the then Western-Australia champion in a friendly match. After my return to India, in 1996, I got the opportunity to participate in a workshop on Boomerang and Aboriginal traditions and tools with Mr. Ken Colbung, at IGRMS Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

All these events led to being published in the internationally acclaimed magazine India Today in 1997, April edition, in which I was called the ‘Throwman Showman’, and I got the opportunity to throw open the Indo-Australia Hockey Championship with my Guru in the same year.

After a gap of some years, in 2019, I was invited as the first Indian guest by the Boomerang Association of Australia in their 50th Anniversary celebrations to represent the country internationally in this sport. In the same year I founded the Indo-Boomerang Association (IBA), which is recognized by the International Federation of Boomerang Associations (IFBA). I was awarded the Member of the Year award-2020 by The World of Boomerang, an international Boomerang community. Team Brazil honoured me with a Boomerang in the Tricolour with my name written on it, and threw it across the World’s most beautiful Copacabana Beach.

There has been no looking back ever since. After Five National Championships till from 2020 to 2024, one International tournament with Australia in 2022, and leading the First Indian team to the World Boomerang Championships in France, also in 2022, we are all set to take the sport to the next level, both nationally as well as internationally.
