A native of Mumbai, India Hansa learned to play bridge there but played only occasionally while raising her three children. Daughters Anisha and Amrita now live  in New York. Hansa lives in Los Altos Hills, California with her husband Ashok and son Akshay who both claim she is the best cook in the world. Teammate JoAnna tends to agree, but would prefer to sample a few more dishes "just to be sure".

JoAnna Stansby

Bridge is by far my favorite endeavor.   Away from the table, I enjoy reading, hiking,  Wikipedia, puzzles, board games, and practice public speaking at my local Toastmasters club.   I don't read the newspaper or watch television - this occasionally puts me in some rather curious situations!   For my "day job" I work part-time as a pharmacist.  I live in Castro Valley, California with my husband Lew who is also my best friend and has been a great bridge coach for me. We have no pets except for Schroedinger's cat.
