Discovering games at the most unexpected places

CHENNAI: My journey to understand more about games has taken me to the strangest places, among them Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi. I was invited to the university by a PhD student there, who on his wanderings through the campus found some incredible markings on the rocks that looked like games. Some would seem to indicate the traditional game of Saath Kooti with two parallel rows of seven cups, while others were more random and needed to be studied further. In most other places I visited, I believed that builders or artisans involved in building temples and monuments were responsible for the etching of these games as a means to pass the time.
