Angelina Jolie loves to be in news whether by doing social work, or special movies. And this time she attracts world by taking a brave decision about her health when she decided to have a preventive double mastectomy.

By coming forward and sharing her story, the Oscar-winning actress and mother of six hoped to inspire millions of women to be proactive about safeguarding their own health. In Tuesday's New York Times Angelina courageously reveals that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy in February after doctors told her that she carried the "'faulty' gene" BRCA1 and had roughly an 87 percent risk of contracting breast cancer.

Jolie wrote "I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options."

She admits that the decision was "not easy" but she is "very happy" with it, and her risk of breast cancer has dropped to "under 5 percent." AJ in a conclusion wrote "I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people's hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."

The actress also revealed that she was told she has approximately a 50 percent risk (the actual number varies based on the individual) of developing ovarian cancer, of which her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died at only 56.But unlike her mother Jolie started with the breasts. She describes the multipart ordeal of having the double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery process a more complex one. Process was completed recently on 27th April after 3- month.

The GentleMan of Cricket Sledged at The Mecca of Indian Cricket.

 

 

Yestreday's Match in IPL 2013 at Eden Garden, Kolkata witnessed a harshful activities of Kolkata players Gamhir & Bisla against The Gentleman of Cricket 'Rahul Dravid' - Rajasthan Royals Royal Captain.

 

One would wonder what is wrong with Gautam Gambhhir. The Kolkata Knight Riders captain has again showed his angry face on the cricket field. First an ugly spat with Virat Kohli and this time he has shamed himself by having a go at Rahul Dravid during the IPL 2013 match at Eden Gardens yesterday.

 

The game between KKR and Rajasthan Royals was marred by this disgraceful incident when captain Gambhir and his team-mate Manvinder Bisla sledge Dravid and Ajinkya Rahane and umpire had to intervene to defuse the tension. Dravid was no way at fault.

It all happened during KKR's batting when it began with Shane Watson eye-balling Bisla on the last ball of the 4th over. Watson bowled a dot ball to Bisla and fielding the ball, the Australian showed his aggression and gave a stare to Bisla. The over ended and before the start of the next, Gambhir and Bisla began to target Dravid on the incident. The duo began to fire angry words at the RR skipper even as he began to walk towards his fielding spot. Bisla even pointed his hand towards Dravid as the latter kept walking next to the pitch. Gambhir hurled abuse at Dravid even as he was moving away from the pair. Soon Rahane and umpire Kumar Dharmasena came in and pulled Bisla back. Though it ended there but the incident was shameful.

 

 Why does Gambhir have to target Dravid, the gentleman. Dravid has carried himself with exceptional behaviour on the field during this illustrious international career. "The Wall" is a role model for every cricketer and it was not right on Gambhir's part to sledge the former Indian skipper. This was the second time in IPL 6 that Gambhir has had a spat on the field.

 

As Gambhir said after Kohli spat, "Cricket is a man's game and not played by the boys. It's played the hard way and with the hard ball and these things happen in the heat of the moment." But today he has to remember that cricket is a gentleman's game too.

Later on after the game KKR captain Gautam Gambhir clarified that "no harsh words" were exchanged between him and Rajasthan Royals skipper Rahul Dravid. Gambhir took to the micro blogging site Twitter to clear the air on the controversy where he and Manvinder Bisla were seen sledging Dravid. He wrote on his twitter page (@GautamGambhir) "Guys, u have got it all wrong. No harsh words exchanged between me n Rahul bhai. He was n will always be a respected teammate. No fuss plz."

 

For the record, Gambhir's team KKR won by 8 wickets but the left-hander lost out many fans for his misbehaviour.

 

As the incident happens the fans kept expressing their aggressiveness against both KKR Players in support of Dravid.
