PSA: If you see a single, divorced, widowed man or woman of any age - suppress your urge to suggest marriage, unless you’re the one proposing. If they want and find someone, they’ll marry without your encouragement. Ap parayshan na houn.

@Fakharrehman01 The first tweet under it asks grok to verify this and the response is it’s fabricated. One should verify before posting things but you were too lazy to even look at the tweet below it yet so quick to comment on it. You call yourself a journalist?

@adeel_9298 Coming back to this issue; the ship being fired on is stating they took a clearance from them in the morning. So decentralised that they have no internal cohesiveness to then fire on the same unarmed ship with a civilian crew carrying oil?

@adeel_9298 I agree but once they had made their point they should’ve looked for a solution to end it leveraging the ties of neighbouring countries, and beyond, instead of attacking some of them in frustration. Poorer countries suffer from this closure disproportionately more than USrael.

It is becoming increasingly clear to the world that IRGC is under no one’s control, while it holds a shared lifeline affecting countless innocent people hostage, including Iranians suffering under their regime.

The whole episode hasn’t brought down the credibility of this place, it has raised it. I never knew they were the only country outside the US which had a THAAD, besides 3 other air defence layers. And it works. Or of the water, food, etc protocols they’ve had in place for years.

We went through an extraordinary situation, and those living here will agree the authorities didn’t put a single foot wrong. They communicated clearly and signalled calm & control. People mirrored it. No stockpiling, no law&order situation, no queues for gas, no widespread panic.

Went out on the weekend and all I have to say is thoughts and prayers for those who will die waiting for “Dubai’s bubble (to) burst”. Inshallah, never. The “1 in 8 Britisher (who) fled” is either back or crying about the punishment that life in their own country is.

These AI ads on YouTube are so annoying. This speech training lady starting of with “NEVER I mean NEVER start your conversation with blah blah blah”… Jaani, I’m walking away from you on that first forceful NEVER. You can use the rest of the training to talk to yourself. Fazool.

Ironically, they are also the sole beneficiaries of the chaos, mistrust and collapse triggered by the fires they start. The proverbial root of all fitna and fasad.

Isra-hell and all they have done with impunity has broken every legal, moral, logical, universal values so badly that anyone can do anything, and they consider it justified as long as it’s lesser than what those swines did. May Allah help this world if they’re to be the standard.

Shared geographical terrains must not be used as geopolitical weapons by anyone. This trend will come to bite many who may not be opposed to it presently. Opening and shutting it like children playing with a switchboard, that’s not even theirs.

Neither US nor IRGC built the strait. It’s a natural transit passage, a shared lifeline, for many nations. Blocking, mining, extorting toll from it is terrorism & collective punishment for the poor in countries like PAK, IND, BGD, PHL, NPL etc who had nothing to do with the war.

Haseeeeen!

On this day 31 years ago, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed while riding a bicycle with his cousins in a village near Lahore, Pakistan. His name was Iqbal Masih. At four years old, his family sold him to a carpet factory owner to repay a debt of 600 rupees, less than $12. For the next six years, he was chained to a loom. He worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for a few cents. He was beaten with a carpet fork when he slowed down. The factory owners deliberately underfed the children so their fingers would stay small enough for the intricate weaving. By the time he was 10, he stood just four feet tall, 12 inches shorter than the average boy his age. One morning, he escaped. He jumped on the back of a tractor heading to a meeting about bonded labour. He heard a man explain that what the factory owners were doing was illegal under Pakistani law. When the man asked if anyone wanted to speak, Iqbal stepped up to the microphone. He never stopped. He helped free over 3,000 children from bonded labour in carpet factories across Pakistan. He completed five years of schoolwork in three. He spoke at international conferences in Sweden and the United States. He told a room full of adults in Boston that he wanted to become a lawyer so he could free every enslaved child in Pakistan. He was 12 years old. Brandeis University offered him a full scholarship and said they would be waiting for him. When asked why he would return to Pakistan when he knew his life was in danger, he said his mission was more important than his life. On Easter Sunday 1995, he was shot in the back while cycling home. He was hit by over 120 shotgun pellets. His cousins were barely touched. He was the target. His funeral was attended by 800 people. In the days that followed, 3,000 people marched through Lahore. Half of them were under the age of 12. After his death, a group of seventh-graders from a school in Massachusetts where Iqbal had once spoken raised $25,000 and built a school in his name in Pakistan. April 16 is now recognised as the International Day Against Child Slavery. The United States Congress created the Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labour in his honour. It is still given out every year.
