As anticipated, the political masters of Pakistan have finally directed its national cricket team to lift the boycott and play India on 15 February, 2026, as scheduled in Colombo . The Masters must've thought the money at stake is too lucrative to continue indulging in such kind of grumpy politics. Of course, they had imposed some pre-conditions that included making the 'handshake' a mandatory protocol, but the ICC looked the other way.

Mobile phones are so useful, but they can be a nagging irritation too.
There are always unwanted callers. You just do not want to talk to them and your decency does not allow you to cut the line ruthlessly.

After much consideration I put his number in the 'screened calls' list of my cell phone. Someday I find his innumerable missed calls, but I am at peace when he calls as my phone does not sing or vibrate on screened calls.
Then, for three consecutive days I kept on finding his missed calls and I was amused.
But on the fourth day evening he came over physically with a friend to my office and there was no way to hide from him or to send him off. He complained of my misbehaving phone and renewed his requests with backlogging effect.
What to do then? How on earth to screen his or my body?
