Jerjis Suleman Zaveri, 72 Frisbee trainer
>>>
AVAILABLE FOR: Frisbee lessons on Juhu Silver Beach every weekend, an hour before sunset
CALL: 9833776052

If walking on the beach destresses you, then Juhu’s Silver Beach has a surprise. For the past 30 years, 72-year-old Jerjis Suleman Zaveri, has been visiting the beach diligently an hour before sunset, just so that he can impart some frisbee lessons to those interested. Zaveri has been doing it out of sheer goodwill. “I do it for my love for sports,” he says. “I retired as a pearl jeweller, and teaching people a trick or two gives me, and them, joy,” he adds. People of all ages can just walk upto Zaveri. “I can tell if someone really wants to learn, or is there to create mischief. I tell them about wind direction, aero-dynamics and make sure that the frisbee lands smoothly in the hands of the person at the other end,” he shares.

RECOMMENDED BY: Vatsala Singh, “I visited Juhu beach on an anxious and lonely day where I spotted Zaveri  playing with college students. I stood there and watched. He asked me to join him and we played for an hour. He taught me a few tricks. We walked till his place nearby and exchanged notes on life. He reminded me of my late grandparents. I cherish that evening.”
