India vs Pakistan.

1. India vs Pakistan Yet Again.

    It has been a long time but we're back to witnessing an India - Pakistan one day match at the
    Cricket World Cup in England. Why didn't it give me any more heebee-jeebees like the days of
    old? Is it because we, as a country, have become fully aware of the shenanigans of that country
    in fomenting terror in Jammu and Kashmir, especially?

    Coming to the match itself, Pakistan was of no match to ours. We were far ahead in every
    department of the game and we'd to win it. The rain did play a spoilsport but it was overcome.
    Great. India goes on ahead in this World Cup.

    It's sad that many games have been washed out in this World Cup. Probably, a well thought
    out venue, taking into account the weather around this time of the year, would have been right.
    For the viewers, the football matches of Coppa America in Brazil and FIFA Women's World Cup
    in France are bonuses! 

2. Jilted Lover Kills the Object of His Love.

    A woman civil police officer, Soumya Pushpakaran(32) was hacked with a knife and set ablaze
    by Ajaz(33) - also a civilian police officer from the Aluva traffic police team - last Saturday at            Vallikkunnam, near Mavelikkara town of Alappuzha district in Kerala. Soumya died on the spot.        She's survived by her husband, working in Libya, and three children.

    They were friendly during training but when he wanted to get closer and consummate it into
    marriage, Soumya had backed off, enraging the jilted lover! The dastardly attack was consequent
    to it. Sad!

    Does killing a human being solve the problem? If one's love is not reciprocated, the gentlemanly
    thing to do is to back off accepting the fact that the person isn't for you!

3. Deaths in Bihar Due to Encephalitis.

    Over 70 children have died in Muzaffarpur, Bihar due to encephalitis. Dehydration consequent to
    the hot weather conditions is the cause, say the doctors.

    Pointing fingers at the Nitish Kumar government about inaction is playing politics at the most
    inopportune moment. Sad!


Tailpiece.

Got up at our usual time, went through our chores but were late and had breakfast by a half past 9. It was another quiet day.

There seems to be a break in the rain and it was suddenly humid and hot.
