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. So, the PCB takes it as protecting the 'spirit of cricket'. The Indian cricket board , the sponsors, the TV channels and millions of fans who do not necessarily mix patriotism with sports, if it's cricket in particular, must be deliriously ecstatic that all the revenues and hype and excitement shall be there for harvest thr oughout the ICC Men's T20 World Cup-2026 , co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka .

We finally arrived in Guwahati on 6th May afternoon thanks to Air India! For my ten days the trip had been really hectic. Just everything was done and accomplished.

Once in a famous market a discerning customer walks in looking for the freshest fish. He approached a seller taking a look at his varied presentation and focused on a rohu fish. He asked, 'Hi, is this fresh?' 'No worry, a fresh catch!' But still, the discerning customer wanted to be sure and fingered the fish pressing it feeling the 'freshness'! He was a little doubtful.
'It seems to be a little soft. Are you sure it's okay?'
The seller turned around and announced loudly, 'Hey friends! Please welcome the fish doctor! Bring all your fish over here for a free examination and expert diagnosis!'
The customer wished he could vanish at that very instant!
