Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “roll of the dice“ and its meaning “take a chance; take a risk; take a gamble; a risky attempt to do something (wherein you could have a good/bad result)”.
Example Sentence: Both Nepal and Sri Lanka today appear to look like ‘fair weather friends’ — at least in so far as the present is concerned. Where the Maldives stands, is indeed a subject to debate. Pakistan has always been inimical to India, and Afghanistan today does not seem to figure prominently in India’s calculations. Bhutan, under the present King, does not display the same warmth towards India, appearing more intent on balancing relations with China. Across the South Asia region, therefore, how the roll of the dice would turn out is a matter of speculation.
