Day 340

PLEASE DON’T EAT THE BALL!!

IQBAL HAIDER GALIB, REMIAN RAIDER MANAGER

HERE I AM ENJOYING A BANANA AND BREAD TO GIVE US ENERGY FOR THE NEXT MATCH.   The Remian Raiders call me “coach.”  I am actually more of an encourager and photographer.

RICKY, THE GOALIE GIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS TEAMMATES!

Day 336

THE REMIAN RAIDERS, A TEAM IN THE UNDERGROUND LEAGUE.  I think all players are attending or have attended Dhaka Residential Model College in Mohammadpur.  I was with them in their beginnings early in 2008.

MIM MAKING A MOVE ON THE FOOTBALL!

NAFIZ, A REMIAN RAIDER PLAYER, ON THE RUN AFTER A GREAT DEFENSIVE MOVE!  This was during a recent Talent Hunters football tournament.  The Raiders were knocked out in the semi-finals with a 3-1 shootout  following a tied match.

Day 332

HERE I AM GIVING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE THE SOCCER MATCH!  It was the first time I played since March 22, when I had hurt my foot.

Day 118

PLAYER LOSES THE ADVANTAGE OF A TACKLE.  Usually it works better on your feet than your hands.

Day 116

ONE OF OUR PLAYERS OBVIOUSLY THINKS HE WAS FOULED during this play.  The referee thought otherwise.

Day 115

ONE OF OUR TEAM’S SHOTS ON GOAL that wasn’t successful as we lost the friendly match 1-4 yesterday afternoon.

INGRID MILLER AND I STANDING with the photo of mine that accepted to be a part of the TTL “Bangladesh in Frames III” exhibit at Drik Gallery, in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 25-29.  Ingrid is a friend and physio therapist who met me at the gallery to show me how to properly get up on a rickshaw and down. She was expecting me to arrive on a CNG, so was surprised to see me on a rickshaw before she taught me how. I did confess that I had already gotten up on a rickshaw, went to the vegetable market to buy veggies, and came home and got off the rickshaw.  We tried several methods but she admitted that the way I was doing was probably the best way.  I suspect in physiotherapy schools they don’t teach techniques on how to get up on a rickshaw unless the school would be CRP in Savar, Bangladesh!!  Actually it was my wife’s good idea on how to get into a microbus (van), which she gave me yesterday on our trip to the India border.  Ingrid also helped assist and give me ideas as I negotiated the steps to the different galleries at Drik.  Notice the shirt which I received as a gift because one of my photos was accepted!
