Tennis Talk
By Betty Olsen
Meet new Tennis Club member Srini Srinivasan who moved to the Villages last year from Atlanta, Georgia. Srini was born in Bombay, India, but came to the US for graduate studies in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated with a degree in computer science and immediately started his own software company.
Srini met and married Padma, a girl from India living in Dallas, Texas and settled down in Atlanta, Georgia. They have two children, a boy and a girl. Their son graduated from UCLA Medical School this year and presently started his ER residency at Johns Hopkins. Their daughter graduated from USC as a business major and is working for Spotify.
Srini has 3 sisters and 1 brother and growing up was involved in any sport with a ball. He plays tennis, pickleball and table tennis and would play basketball if we had a court.
While their 2 children were in college in California, they would make many trips west to visit, so became familiar with California’s many attractions. They especially like the outdoors and spend most weekends exploring hiking and wine tasting trips. Srini said they almost rented a house in Silver Creek, but when they drove into the Villages and saw both the tennis courts and pickleball courts full of active people, they were sold. So welcome Srini and Padma to the Villages.
