SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LOOK BACK – by Charles Schokman Sometimes you’ve got to look back to see how far you’ve come. To count your blessings. To put it all in perspective and be grateful for all the highs and lows in your life. To embrace every aspect of your past as a lesson, that has shaped you into the stronger and wiser person you are today. Sometimes you have to look back at all the people that have been a part of your life. To see them all as teachers and mirrors, reflecting your light or your darkness; bringing out your inner beauty or the things you need to work on. Be grateful for whatever role they might have played in your life. And keep in mind that your perception of them is a reflection on you. So what you think about these people says more about you than about them… Sometimes you have ...

Sriraj and India scuttle hapless Sri Lanka to grab Asia Cup – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (Elanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka went from heroes to zero in just over 15 overs as India gave them a thrashing in the Asia Cup final they can Never forget. Just days after relegating world number one ranked Pakistan to the sidelines in a heart stopper, Sri Lanka just rolled over and let themselves be humiliated in front of a packed home crowd, and an entire population, losing without a whimper. Excuses about winning the toss in overcast conditions and electing to bat does little to convince me that there is more to it than meets the eye. It would be vindicated if they were without a coaching staff who do not give advice on these matters before the toss. Yes, India were favourites to win it with a highly skilled and far ...
