School had ended, but we are still posting statuses and tagging photos. And I’m suddenly glad social media exists.

Even today the people of the Fata region don’t get the news in time to avail opportunities aimed towards them.

It was effectively over as a contest right then; Khan never really recovered from that explosive left counter hook.
