Manasi Joshi

Won BWF Para-Badminton World Championship

View this post on Instagram

Won a bronze medal in Women's Singles SL3 at FZ Forza Ireland Para-Badminton International 2019 This was the last tournament before World Championship and I didn't perform as I ought to. In Mixed Doubles Rakesh bhaiya and I lost in Pre Quarters. Its an uphill task if we want to qualify for Mixed Doubles in Paralympics. We need to win medals in next few tournaments and have to up our game. WE ARE READY. I have been pursuing sports out of passion and was on a leave without pay for more than a year. So when my prosthesis maintaiance cost came up, my sponsor chipped in. I used up most of my savings on Badminton without thinking of getting anything in return. Now i'm getting paid for my speeches in various corporates, schools and colleges. My opinions are considered in the field of sports and inclusion. Whenever there has come a time when I've decided to take a diversion from sport, a new path has lighted up to again take me back. I would like to thank my coaches and my sponsors for always believing in me. I also want to thank all of you for supporting me unconditionally. Now that my Irish tournament is over, I'm on my way to Motor Accident Claims Tribunal court to fight my accident compensation case. Wish me luck. Fyi I filed a case in 2012

Devendra Jhajharia

Won two gold medals at the Paralympics for javelin throw

View this post on Instagram

Devendra Jhajharia became India’s second gold medal winner at the Rio Paralympics after he broke his own world record with a throw of 63.7m in the men’s F46 Javelin Throw.? It was a historic moment for the country as Devendra became the first Indian to win two individual Gold medals at the Paralympics/Olympics – the one-armed thrower had won the gold medal at the Athens Games in 2004.? Jhajharia, who already has a long list of achievements to his name, was born into a low-income family of Churu district in Rajasthan ?? At the age of eight, he lost his left hand after accidentally touching an electric wire while trying to climb a tree. ? His success as a javelin thrower – made tougher against the backdrop of financial disabilities – is testament to his willpower and physical prowess. ? India’s flag-bearer at the 2016 paralympics, Jhajharia was awarded the Arjuna award in 2004 and the Padma Shri in 2012, becoming the first Paralympian to receive the honour??

All set for the grand reception of #Ambaniwedding Especially designed for the occasion by Surraj Kathuria, intune with the reverence the Ambani family has for Lord Krishna. The dress for today is purely the outcome of the expert craftsmanship of Indian artisans. It's handmade cloth with hand embroidery showcases Lord Krishna's hand painted Kalamkari motifs unique to Surraj style. The jewellery by 'Raabta' by Rahul compliments today's outfit perfectly.
