"Eight-times grand slam winner Andre Agassi left the tennis world in a state of shock on Wednesday when he admitted using the recreational drug crystal meth and lying to men's governing body the ATP to escape a ban."
One cannot deny his greatness as a tennis player inspite of the drug issue that he has claimed to in his biography, for he won three to four title before becoming a druggie and also if only drugs would have made you a good player then all the addicts out there would have been outstanding in sports.
For such a legend, who is idealized by millions, such statements on his experience of drugs could lead tons to follow his path in pursuit to become the sad clown he himself has emerged into by this revelation to the world, "There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I've never felt so alive, so hopeful -- and I've never felt such energy."
....but as he himself says, "I wore my heart on my sleeve and my emotions were always written on my face. I was actually excited about telling the world the whole story."

I hope the situation changes for the better soon and the most hospitable, austere and culturally rich people of Pakistan are able to reclaim their land, their dignity and their identity. These are not terrorists, these are the victims of terrorism. Let the difference be understood!
We pray for God's mercy and favor.

The artist followed a tutorial by Rebecca on Cgsociety and created this.
Artist comments, "It took me the entire evening to do it from the scratch because this is pretty much the first time I was properly trying to paint something and since my drawing is not too good either, I had a hard time figuring out the proportions, which are still not correct. I used the 3 color palette as mentioned in the tutorial and used a simple soft round brush in Photoshop."
