![]() ![]() She has virtually no money and lots of time. She is not a professional outdoors person. The loss of her mother sends her over the proverbial edge. ![]() ![]() She pushes away one man who could save her – knowing deep down she has to do it herself, and remains attracted to other men who will only make her feel worse. Ninety percent of success is showing up.Ĭheryl had a tough childhood with no fatherly support and made subsequently predictable choice regarding men. She was lost and she decided not to rely on someone else to pick her up, not to whine, not to accept her state complacently but to get the hell up and do something. Frankly, it’s a small sacrifice to have made in light of the enormity of her accomplishment both internally and externally. I’m guessing the remaining four were not visions of loveliness. They look very nice and I enjoy smiling down at them, but I can’t help feel a bit like a total spank. ![]()

The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets / Eva Rice ![]() ![]() The 29-year-old, who has fought his way through a tough domestic cricket system to Pakistan colours, scored two half-centuries on the trot in the said games and has all but earned a ticket to the 50-over showpiece in India.

The right-handed batter, who isn’t as box office like his other superstar team-mates, has cemented his place in the national team as a specialist number six batter as well as handy off-spinner just in time ahead of the ODI World Cup. ![]() ![]() ![]() KARACHI: Having made the Pakistan One-day International side in September last year, Salman Ali Agha has fitted in like the last missing piece of the puzzle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Opening: Do you think birds know when it’s going to snow?
