Tennis feels so graceful! Isn't it?!

A no-contact, peaceful game, with a disciplined way to it ... and especially, when graceful players like Graf and Federer, or fighters like Becker and Nadal sweat it out on the green toppings of the All England Tennis lawns!

This tshirt in white conveys the attitudes of a self-confessed fan of the elegant game - an equally elegant message backing world peace!

The Front

The front of this tshirt bears a tennis ball in green and white - with a cute little wit to it! On a grungy yellow background, surrounded by black olive leaves (another symbol of peace), the ball depicts the most popular 'World Peace' symbol!

The Back

This is where we make it really witty, and this is also where the tshirt speaks louder than words do! Amidst a grungy, eroded combination of black and canary yellow, we have the smallest (and yet so effective) statement for World Peace highlighted in crimson red: Let's 0-0 (Let's Love All)!

This is how tennis fans do it!

Thanks for the excellent tee and the goodies. I love the way the packaging as well. It is very well done. I express myself with my tee shirts, most of them very selectively purchased or custom printed. I just loved the line " t shirts don't hide they reveal".

You are here because ...

... of either of the following reasons ...

1) a loved one of yours told you;
2) you are a customer-turned-friend of mine;
3) you are a friend-turned-customer of mine!

That's it! Toubé Bäs has never put any ads on Google (or else where), neither do I have the money to do such mass advertising! Plus, as Tim Robbins says, "The more advertising I see, the less I want to buy." I think it's so true. Today's media world is over-loaded with messages about selling and buying. I would rather not be a part of that circus.

Plus, to be very honest, these t-shirts are for a few people - exclusive ones. Like they normally say, "For the classes, not the masses." Doesn't serve my purpose well to market aggressively.

T-shirt wearers crave for a certain feel of privilege. Meaning ... you do not want just about anyone to wear a t-shirt that you have been sporting so lovingly. You desire exclusivity. That's why I stop selling a particular design after having sold 501 pieces of those.

(That's also why people who visit this site do not use the share button above ... but here's something: share this site with friends of yours who are not close to you geographically!!!)

That design goes into the history books - forever! The 501 people who bought that design ... will be the only bearers of that design - ever!

Naturally, then, things like adverts in the newspapers, pamphlets, strategies like luring customers to "tell 20 friends and win a free t-shirt" are all methods to attract a whole lot of people, but not the kind of customer I hope/want to deal with at Toubé Bäs. A typical Toubé Bäs customer is far more prudent, dignified, and sophisticated than that. Plus, slightly richer as well!

I plan not to worry about the masses, or the huge business opportunity that I lose with them. My concern would be to cater to the few elite people, and give them all the customer service I can afford to. That's where I won't like to fail.

Thankfully, that's the business wisdom my grand father felt like sharing with me recently.

Also, Toubé Bäs is not about 'designer' t-shirts ... where a flutter of butterflies, a fleet of birds ... and things like that contribute to some immensely colorful design. The t-shirts here will always have a strong message to deliver ... a message that you will either connect with instantly, or not connect with at all. These are meaningful t-shirts, and may make sense to only a few people who are passionate about the core meaning. In your group, or at a social occasion, these t-shirts will certainly give you that "Hey Nice T-shirt!" response ... serve as conversation starters (about your passion), and make you feel happy about it.

Looks like the ride's going to be tough for me, right?! I hope so too!

Me, And This

I had it all planned at 25 ... but the more you plan, the more Gods laugh! I'm 32.8 now, and till today, this is what I ended up doing ...

~~Studied~~ Graduated from IIT Bombay, made VoIP softwares, swept floors in the UK for a living, waited on snacking people to get some tips, worked at the Coventry University call centre, seen an ODI from the Lords Pavilion (with Shri RajSingh Dungarpurji), spoke with Shri Rajsinghji about his love interest Lata Mangeshkar (that was super-awesome!), analysed Chelsea's Stamford Bridge to carry out an ROI assessment, met the grandson of a Titanic survivor (oh boy!), worked as customer service guy at William Hill's Sports Betting shops, played in the MDFA (Bombay's football league), in BHA (Bombay's field-hockey league), studied a Sport-MBA from the UK, am representing Bombay in national and international Ultimate Frisbee tournaments with Bombay's Storm Chasers, worked as a data-entry guy, earned food-money an assignment-writer for b-school students, volunteered at the Hockey World Cup in Monchengladbach, Germany (2006), am now a professional football referee, and also doing this weird and very-Americanish idea of making tee shirts ... and selling them!

So much for all the planning! I ended up making almost no money in life - but I now believe I do not need much of it (sour grapes?!!) My stupid passion will carry me through! Well, money is needed, but you know what I mean, right?!

(Still, I have a 1000 more things to do - like run a taxi in Bbay atleast for a week, write a book on IIT Bombay's trivia, act in Prithvi atleast once in this lifetime, do some RJ-giri etc. etc., work towards 'community sports', go to Brazil for WC14)

May be it's difficult to believe, but at IITB, I flunked in 22 courses - and took an extra year to graduate. Ironically, that one year was one of the best years of my life!

Why flunked? Well, almost all the time in the class was spent scribbling and drawing something or the other, and all the time in the hostel/playground was spent farting around and taking pride in being witty.

In 2008, my dad happened to mention some Gitagyaan, "If you can do something well, and you choose not to do it, then you are committing a big sin." So I resumed my drawing, and my farting around ... and Toubé Bäs was born. I thought t-shirt designing would be a nice thing to do - but it turned out to be an incredibly fascinating experience in the industry of 'expression'.

The true concept of "tshirts" is yet to 'arrive' in this country. There are so many people doing t-shirts, but I sometimes feel that the 'essence' of t-shirts is half-lost with them. Usually, t-shirts not only provide a strong platform for 'individual expression' ... but if managed suitably, t-shirts have the power to bring about a bottom-to-top ripple in the society too. I have begun with the former hoping that the latter will turn out to be a by-product.

Today, it's just the youth (at heart) that prides in wearing witty and unique tshirts. The poppa-kinds are happy wearing their kurtas and polos and shirts, while the bachcha-party are too kiddish to appreciate most of the wit! In the Western parts of this world, t-shirts are the primary street/campus/lounge casual wear - meant for you to flash your attitude while the (slightly) lesser mortals take notice of you and your beliefs/attitudes!

I am hoping this would happen in India soon. With the trendy youth that we boast of - it will! There's zero doubt in my head, at least!

T-shirts Don't Hide. They Reveal.

91% of urban population claim that they have a "favorite tee", which they will never discard in their lives! Come what may.
About 5.4 million tshirts are sold worldwide! Daily.
More than 60% of the all urban population owns atleast 10 tees each. 19% own more than 30 tees!

These are statistics - but there's one very generic reason why people wear tshirts: to express. People mistake T-shirts as apparel. They are not. T-shirts are, instead, a form of 'media' - and a much more 'personal' media than the radio or tv can even hope to offer. When someone wears a t-shirt with a message on it, he or she is devoting 50% of the body to that message ... for an entire day. That's how siginificant t-shirts are ...

T-shirts are about one's personal beliefs and thoughts - and that's not the end! T-shirts are a casual, cool, and carefree manner to express one's attitude in style, and in a unique way.

That's why I always maintain, "T-shirts do not hide the body. No. Instead, they reveal your mind!"

Still, that is NOT the reason why a t-shirt becomes someone's favorite - so much so that that's the only thing they will sleep in. There's something else ...

Emotional involvement. Yes - researches have shown that the one piece of apparel that people develop maximum emotional bonds with are their tees! A tee may be a gift from your girlfriend (better - it may belong to your girlfriend), it may remind you of that marathon run, it may have a message about your passion and belief, or it may simply reflect something about your school or college - but once ppl get emotionally involved with their tees, they don't want to discard them - no matter how batterred the fabric may be! This is one relationship where there's no breaking-up.

There's little wonder in the fact that almost 33% of the sports world revolves around merchandise, and almost 43% of revenues that colleges in the West generate are through sales of merchandise - and a huge chunk of that is t-shirts.

Garment industry?! No! I think I am in the media industry! :)

Delivery Around India In 4 Days!

Promise? No! Practice? YYYES!

Unless one is Dominoes Pizza, it's impossible to commit on delivery logistics in India and live up to those. No wonder even FedEx took some time to set base in this country!

I must have sent more than a thousand couriers - tried BlueDart, DTDC, and experimented with a host of other big names - but have always found Maruti Couriers, Professional Couriers, and Bom Ind Couriers to be the most pragmatic and, hence, efficient of them all.

My observation, and a semi-commitment too: it won't take more than 3-4 working days for your t-shirt gifts/packets to reach anywhere in India - so you can go for some last minute gifting too! I spend quality time packing and shipping the stuff myself ... so yes ... you can be sure that I am personally involved in your order till the very last minute.

Payment Methods Here

Payments on Toubé Bäs can be made in the following ways:

T-shirt Care, Wear, and Tear!

A pair of jeans, naturally beautiful women, a favorite t-shirt, wine ... all these things get better with age ... but it helps to take good care of them (especially the 2nd and 3rd in the list above)! Here are my suggestions for the t-shirts you buy from us:

- Please don't iron on the print. Put a kerchief if you have to, or iron them inside-out.
- Please don't leave the tee's soaked in a bucket of water for absurdly long hours. They don't suffer of dehydration!
- Please don't hang them in direct sunlight for long hours. They don't suffer of rickets either!
- Please turn the tee's inside out if you think they are in a rough treatment either in the washing machine, or from your kapde-waali-bai.

Toubé Bäs: The Mad Lessons So Far

Not that I am playing in billions - but what the heck! The experience in this hobb-usiness has been an assortment of lessons already. While I get the ultimate pleasure in selling t-shirts here, I would love to share some empirical realizations about starting-up with you - may be they might benefit you!

8) Money is Easy!
Yes, it is. I used to believe that easy money is evil. But it's not. To me, money is good, money is my friend. And all I have to believe is that every moment, money is joyfully coming to me in abundance.
I think this is a necessary attitude to have because once this belief becomes a part of you, you can start focusing on things that really need your focus. Money should not be your focus at all. Your focus should be your passion, your commitment to your passion.
