This is Bhoo, the most interesting cat in the world

This opening is just superbly inspirational
Newspaper clipping from New York Times. Text says: “It was not long ago here in Mumbai that Harmanpreet Kaur juggled a day job as a railway clerk with the grueling training sessions as a young member of India’s national women’s cricket team. Away from her family and her hometown in Punjab, Ms. Kaur began her days at dawn — long hours of shuttling from a morning practice to work and back again to an evening training session. Lunch was a bite on the train. Her biggest anxiety: Not finishing evening practice before the rush hour and the departure of the final train, which would leave her a 90-minute walk home. When Ms. Kaur stepped onstage in the same city after Sunday’s match, way past midnight and long after the last local train had departed, it was to collect the World Cup’s winning trophy as India’s captain.”
