In another development, the investigations conducted by the Daily Mail have revealed that the ICC President Sharad Pawar, an Indian national is making an effort to involve Pakistani players in spot-fixing with the intent of seeing it banned for the next two to three years. The investigation also reveals that the ICC Chief and its members, The News of the World and the notorious Indian intelligence agency RAW have masterminded this mud-slinging against the Pakistan cricket team at a very crucial time, where the international world sought the return of international cricket in Pakistan, with Zimbabwe promising to tour the country later this year.
The investigations have revealed that the picture of Salman Butt along with Mazhar Majeed, the high profile bookie, has been fabricated and created in Photoshop. The daily mail in its report has indicated that Mazhar Majeed is supposedly a RAW front man, holding a key position with the agency’s fund for the generation of illicit money, which includes the Mafia wings, running brothel houses, prostitution syndicates and gambling dens which were betting on cricket and soccer.
According to the report, Majeed worked in a movie theatre at a lowly position when he was handpicked by RAW and trained under the command of RAW’s Special Operation Division SOD, headed by Chhota Rajan where he was trained for sports betting. The Daily Mail in their investigation also noted that Majeed was introduced to different bookies in Mumbai, Delhi, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Dubai by RAW officials. These findings divulge that in 2007, RAW arranged a meeting between Mazhar Majeed and Indian cricket stars Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and Rahul Dravid so that they can further introduce Majeed to different players of international cricket teams, especially cricketers from Pakistan.
Furthermore, the findings disclosed that in 2009, an Indian businessman Vijay Aloowalia based in CapeTown, South Africa hosted a dinner for Pakistani and Indian cricketers where Majeed was introduced to some Pakistani players. In their investigations, the Daily Mail has further indicated that RAW’s undercover officials working at the Indian High Commission at London held meetings with British journalists after which they finally succeeded in convincing a certain journalist to organize an operation which would go on to implicate the Pakistani players ahead of their ODI series.
The investigations further go on to point out that the quick bail of Mazhar Majeed was also sponsored by the Indian High Commission and RAW since the Indian diplomats at London were seen to be highly active following the arrest of Majeed. The Daily Mails investigations conclude that the basic aim of RAW was to play havoc with the careers of Pakistani players and when Sharad Pawar was taken on board the ICC President supported the plan to get the Pakistan Cricket team suspended for a period of three to five years from international cricket. Following the accusations, Malcolm Speed was quick to put forward the suggestion of banning the Pakistan team based on what could be termed “yellow journalism.”
It is also imperative to mention that India and Pakistan have had a strained relationship, due to the Kashmir dispute, with Indian’s blaming Pakistan for the insurgency in the valley. Pakistan has blamed India for multiple insurgencies through Afghanistan in the regions of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and Balochistan. The Pakistani foreign office claiming that they had proofs of Indian involvement in the insurgency.
This report might be termed as speculation and a conspiracy theory, however only the final report by the Scotland Yard can shed more light on the truth of the betting scam that has considerably damaged Pakistan cricket.

Living in the moment is all about living like there’s no tomorrow. It takes practice but in the end, you’ll lead a fuller life. To do this you must realize beauty in every moment, and in everyday activities. This is your life, now live
Take notice of the world around you. No matter what you’re doing, try to find something beautiful around you. Maybe on your way to work or school, you go over a beautiful bridge, or you get a view of the sunrise behind the city buildings. Realizing these small things can bring life and happiness even to the most boring or routine days. Be thankful for those little things.
Focus on whatever you’re doing. Even if you’re just walking, or wiping the counter, or shuffling cards – how does it feel? There’s probably some kind of commentary spinning through your mind, and it probably has to do with something other than what you’re doing. Let those thoughts go and focus on what is (not what was, or what could be). In Buddhism, this is referred to as mindfulness. Pay attention to your senses – touch, sight, smell, sound, and taste. Pretend it’s the very last time you’ll ever experience whatever you’re experiencing. Have you ever been so engrossed in something that it seemed like the rest of the world just disappeared? Living in the moment is about creating that state of mind at any time. Slow down, and try to savor the present.
Smile when you wake up. You can set the tone of appreciation and awareness for the next 24 hours by simply waking up and smiling. Don’t wake up with a groan and a smash of your alarm clock. There’s scientific proof that the expressions that you make with your face can actually influence how you feel. In particular, true happiness is most closely tied to a Duchenne smile which involves smiling with your eyes, as well as your mouth.
Commit random, spontaneous acts of kindness. Whether it’s donating 1 dollar to a fund at the pharmacy, picking up litter, or helping victims of natural disasters, keep alert in every moment of your day for some way in which you can make the world a better place. Even the smallest thing, like complimenting someone, can bring joy. It’s the most spontaneous and unexpected acts of kindness that produce the greatest impact, and you can’t be sensitive to those kinds of opportunities unless you’re living in the moment.
Minimize activities that dull your awareness of the moment. What are you doing that tempts your mind to run away from the present? For most people, watching television puts you in a passive state of mind, and time slips right by. Daydreaming and getting lost in a good movie or book isn’t bad, but it’s not living in the moment because it places your concentration on something that isn’t right here, right now; it’s a form of escapism. Don’t zone out; zone in. Do things that are active, and that encourage you to look around and engage the world in that moment. Gardening, playing a game, knitting, and playing an instrument are all activities that lend themselves to mindfulness. So get off the computer after reading this article!
Be Thankful for what is. When you find yourself wishing for something you don’t have, or wishing your life would be different, start your quest for your wish by being thankful for what is already in your life. This will bring you back to the present moment. Make a list of what you are thankful for right now even if all you can think of is that you are alive and can breathe. You don’t want to miss the gifts right in front of you, because you are always looking beyond what is in the present moment to what once was or what might be. If you are thankful for what is, you’ll be happy to be in the moment instead of some place else.

There’s no room for adventure and excitement in your comfort zone; in fact, over time you might feel crowded out by boredom and fear. Perhaps it’s time to stretch those limits a little, eh?
Make a fool of yourself. One of the biggest things that holds many of us back is our fear of what people think. After all, you don’t want people to think you’re weird or rude or creepy or obnoxious or annoying, do you? But wait — think about the most lovable, magnetic people you’ve come across in your life. Odds are, they weren’t the meek, agreeable people who are reliably pleasant to be around. They were the people who were crazy and charming. People who blurted out silly, maybe inappropriate things, or who made huge, slap-your-forehead mistakes, or who were over the top most of the time, but others forgave them for being less than perfect and in fact, liked them for it. So shatter your concern for what people think of you. You’re allowed to be less than perfect, and you may find that people like you more for it, because it makes you a more exciting person to be around. Get laughed at, laugh with ‘em. Do something you normally wouldn’t do for fear of looking like an idiot. Be that idiot. You’ll be fine.
Face your fears. There are the big fears, such as heights, spiders, tight spaces, and germs, but there are also hundreds of subtle fears we bow to every day. Like the fear of breaking a bone, or falling down, or getting caught in the rain. What are the precautions you take every day to circumvent “negative” circumstances? And are those circumstances really worth stepping around? Those steps add up! It’s good to be proactive, but it’s bad to let a significant portion of your life be devoted to averting things that never happen–Little things that could turn into adventures or funny stories if you allow yourself to deal with a little discomfort.
Become comfortable with taking risks. Your comfort zone is comfortable because it’s where you know what to expect. Going out on a limb can be scary because you might fail. You might lose something. But you might also gain something, huh? In order to become comfortable with that uncertainty, you’ll need to practice the following:
Enjoy the unknown. When’s the last time you felt excited about not knowing what was going to happen next? If you’re deep in your comfort zone, it’s probably been a while. Don’t you miss it? Don’t you miss the mixture of anticipation and anxiety that makes your heart flutter and stomach turn at the same time? Bring that feeling back into your life.
Find or date someone crazy. When you discover that person who brings out the adventurous side from within you, it will help to encourage your development tremendously. These people can be easy to spot and will be found, for example, five miles away from home after packing up only a camera, tent, and food, to go camping in the woods. Spontaneity is a great contrast to someone like yourself who may not be comfortable or familiar with stepping out of your comfort zone often.
Don’t confuse stepping out of your comfort zone with being reckless and stupid. There’s a difference between being reckless and accepting risks. Reckless people don’t accept risks-they don’t even think about them. You should know the risks, and decide to go through with the decision anyway, ready and willing to accept the consequences if things don’t work out.

David n Michael were lost in Sahara desert..
They were dying of thirst wen they saw a building which looked like a mosque.
David said to Michael: "Look, let's pretend v r Muslims,otherwise
we'll not get any food or drink.I am going to call myself "Abdullah."
Michael refused to change his name,n said: "My name is Michael,n I'll not pretend to be other than but what I am!"
The Imam of the mosque received both well and asked about their names.
David said:"My name is Abdullah"
Michael said :"My name is Michael"
The Imam turned to his helpers and said:
"Please bring some food and water for Michael only."
Then he turned to the other and said: "Salaam brother Abdullah, Ramadaan Mubarak!":)
