Giba to have surgery to get fit for London Olympics | FIVB - Press release

Giba to have surgery to get fit for London Olympics | FIVB - Press release: 
 
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, February 4, 2012 – 

Brazilian volleyball legend and captain Giba will be out of action for up to three months as the wing spiker will undergo surgery on February 13 on his lower left leg. The surgery is deemed necessary in order for him to be fit enough to play at the London Olympic Games in July.

Giba, who was part of the Brazilian gold medal winning team at Athens, and captained Brazil when the world No. 1 team lost to USA in the final in 2008, experienced problems with his tibia for the first time in September during the South American Championship and although he helped Brazil qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games when the world champions finished third at the 2011 World Cup in Japan in December, he has had limited playing time in the Superliga, Brazil’s national championship. 

“I’m not happy about being away from the court,” Giba, 35, said. “I wondered if I could help (my club) Cimed/SKY, but I have to think about my career and, as this is an Olympic season, the best thing to do was to accept the surgery.”

Brazilian team doctor Ney Pecegueiro, who will be in charge of the procedure, believes that three months will be enough for Giba, who also led Brazil to the FIVB World Championship title in 2010, to be back on court.

“Talking in simple terms, Giba’s tibia fracture was not healing,” he explained. “In the surgery, we will attach a titanium rod to his bone to keep it immobilized. This way, he will be able to resume practice in two or three months and we believe he will be fully healed for the Olympics.”

Brazilian coach Bernardinho hopes to have his captain in good shape for the most important tournament of the year.

“We need to understand the importance of this surgery as he needs some time to recover prior to the Olympics,” Bernardinho said. “Giba is one of our key players and we are confident he will be ready to play in London.”

i am nothing special..

i am nothing special..

The night the World Cup came home . . .

A victory to remember for India in a campaign where they had a player for every occasion, and where the emerging stars stood shoulder to shoulder with the seniors.

It was a day when the common man felt he was part of something special. A day when the common man thought he had achieved something remarkable. A day when cherished dreams were realized. The first Saturday of April 2011 will remain unforgettable for a generation of Indians. It was a poignant moment.

Virat Kohli had delivered the line of the evening when he said that for 21 years Tendulkar had shouldered the dreams of a billion Indians. Today youngsters such as Kohli and Suresh Raina carried Tendulkar over their shoulders during the lap of honor. Tears came easily to Tendulkar then. The sweat on Tendulkar's face glistened under the floodlights, enhancing his joy of winning the World Cup.

Lets not forget the one person who is of worth this cup next to sachin. Even on one of his last training sessions with the team he has overseen for three years, India's coach was, as ever, focused, attentive to the details and a glutton for hard work. He is Team India's Coach Gary Kirsten. It is only for him who could boost up confidence of the team after crushing defeat in 2007. We respect u Gary...

Barricades were put in place at all entry points leading up to the Taj Mahal Palace hotel in South Mumbai. The players had planned to celebrate the whole night and the Taj security did not want to take the chance of letting people inside. It was the Taj Mahal Palace and the Trident that were part of the terrorist attacks on November 26, 2008. Today, they wore a happy look. Both were dressing tonight to party; Saturday night fever had taken over.

At last... A billion dreams came true.
A billion hearts throbbed for something worth.
After 28 long years, Kapil Dev got a friend.
Dhoni & Co. fulfilled Sachin's one big missing slot in his 20 years of legendary career.
Today, all of India will wake up to a new feeling...
The feeling of being a part of something special...
The feeling of achieving something remarkable...
It is The feeling that every Indian waited for 28 years... 

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

Drink and drive ?

This message was forwarded to me... it touched my heart..
Now please read this story..... it is in words of my friend  who sent it to me......

Really heart touching.........

I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a  Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.

The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?''

I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much . I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.


I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God.. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister...''

My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly..

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''

'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'

Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.'

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a
truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever...

The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what they are capable of receiving...

Evening skies of the  City of Destiny

In future . . .

A day may come when we walk through the large gate of our Old School or College once again . . .
Walking through that Lonely path covered with Leaves . . .

Where Smiles Shared . . .
                                 Love was Made . . .
                                                          Hearts Broken . . .
                                                                                     Tears Spilled . . .

Then when you step into the lonely old classroom, only those sweet memories will accompany us.
We may see ourselves on every bench, laughing and murmuring with our friends . . .
Then you will realize that . . .
Years ago . . . "My Heaven was Here"
And those beautiful days won't come back forever.
You'll be remembering some of your friends at that time and drop a tear for them . . .
That's all Life.

Dedicated to all my friends . . .

Miss you all . . .

Lots of Love

Avinash
