My horoscope

Someone you trust may inadvertently hurt your feelings today when he or she raises an issue that you thought had long been put to rest. Don't take it personally, even if it directly involves you. It may be hard to understand, but this is more about the other person's residual feelings than your reaction. Taking the emotional and intellectual high road is crucial or you could quickly become mired in the past instead of moving into the future.

Interesting how cricket acts as a mirror to the times!

The ultimate

solution to the problem of terrorism might be this one. It will take time but only through this medium can we eliminate the source of impressionable souls who are attracted towards terrorism.

Lets see!

The Move

If you're looking for smooth operators, cast the eye no further than Chris Gayle. There's no proving it, but the most imperturbable figure in the game pulled off what just may have been one of the slickest
tricks seen on a cricket field, during the third ODI against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi. Rao Iftikhar Anjum was in the middle of an inspirational spell that had pulled West Indies back from 168 for 1 to 193 for 4, when Gayle guided one from Anjum off the face of the bat through to the keeper. A big shout followed - though short-lived, because the fielding side saw Gayle walking… but only as far as the
middle of the pitch, it soon became apparent, to confer with the non-striker, because it was the last ball of the over. The celebrating Pakistanis didn't know quite what to do; the moment had passed where they could cast questioning looks at the umpire. They came up instead and had a chat with Gayle, but obviously their skills of persuasion weren't the greatest. Gayle, on 99 at the time, went on to score 122. Mercifully for Pakistan, the incident didn't much matter - they won comfortably, by 31 runs.

Don't you agree!

Hmm

All it took was 4 hours to come crashing down! funny life ha!
