I have a postcard of a tennis club group probably taken in the 1920s in Bangalore. It has a few words written on it which I guess are in Urdu (but not in Urdu script). If there is anyone on the list who could translate for me I can attach the postcard to an email. I don't believe that what is written in particularly significant; it is curiosity alone that prompts me to ask. My guess is that it says something like "Greetings. Having a nice time in sunny Bangalore. Wish you were here"! David
