#Iran rolls back its decision to OPEN the #StraitOfHormuz Hormuz due to continuation of the #US Blockade. Speaker of the Parliament tweets two hours ago announcing the Strait is CLOSED. Galibaf 👇 “The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false. 2- They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either. 3- With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open” Separately, reports suggest next round of talks in #Islamabad could happen on Monday. Confirmation from both sides awaited @CNBCTV18News @CNBCTV18Live #IranUpdate #Trump

You’re tracking numbers. Revenue. Margins. Profits But do you know what’s driving them? In Money, Myths and Mantras, @devinamehra explains why surface level numbers aren’t enough. You need to understand the drivers behind them. Because numbers don’t move on their own: * Revenue - demand, pricing, scale * Margins - costs, competition, efficiency * Growth - industry + execution If you don’t know the drivers, you’re just reacting — not anticipating. 📖 Chapter 12 shows how to move from numbers to real understanding.

The Difference Between Ishq (Passionate Love) and Mohabbat (Love) Yesterday evening, during one of Sham e Masroor ’s short stories at the Mehfil@Prithvi, someone asked about the meaning of the sentence:
“Mujhe apni haveli se mohabbat nahi, ishq hai.”
(“I don’t have love for my haveli, I have ishq for it.”) Here’s how we explained it: Love and Ishq are both among the deepest and most beautiful human emotions, yet there is a fundamental difference between them — in their nature, intensity, durability, and their effect on a person. Mohabbat (Love) is soft, peaceful, and mature. It is rooted in respect, care, empathy, and a deep sense of value for the other person. In Mohabbat, there is emotional closeness, a feeling of responsibility, and the genuine desire to see the other person happy. It grows stronger with time. Reason and wisdom play a significant role in it. You can think clearly: “This person is good for me. Life feels better with them.” There is sacrifice in Mohabbat, but it is a wise and balanced sacrifice. Jealousy, restlessness, and anxiety are minimal. It is stable, calming, and meant for the long term. For example, the relationship between a husband and wife who have spent years together — they know each other’s weaknesses, yet they choose to stand by one another. In Mohabbat, the feeling is not “I cannot live without you,” but rather “I am happy and complete with you.” It nourishes the body, heart, and mind in a balanced way. Trust, loyalty, and commitment form its foundation. Ishq (Passionate Love) is the complete opposite. It is intense, restless, and often irrational. It burns like fire. In Ishq, the role of reason is minimal. It is filled with heartache, sleepless nights, constant thoughts about one person, and an overwhelming sense of longing. Phrases like “I cannot live without you” or “My breath stops without you” dominate this feeling. Ishq is a storm that takes complete hold of a person. Jealousy, restlessness, loss of appetite, and detachment from the rest of the world are common. It can even be one-sided. Physical attraction plays a very strong role in Ishq, whereas Mohabbat is more about emotional and spiritual connection. Ishq often remains incomplete or causes deep pain because it is based more on imagination and idealization than on reality. Ishq is what we see in stories like Majnun’s love for Laila or Rumi’s devotion to Shams Tabrizi — it is a kind of divine madness. In Ishq, a person loses themselves. In Mohabbat, a person finds and completes themselves. Ishq flares up quickly and can cool down just as fast. Mohabbat, on the other hand, grows slowly and steadily, and once it takes root, it can last a lifetime — even centuries. Key Differences: •Intensity: Ishq is fierce and turbulent; Mohabbat is gentle and serene. •Role of Reason: In Ishq, reason is almost absent; in Mohabbat, reason is present and guiding. •Durability: Ishq is often temporary or a passing intense phase; Mohabbat is enduring and solid. •Effect: Ishq can break a person; Mohabbat strengthens and unites. •Nature: Ishq is mostly a physical and emotional whirlwind; Mohabbat is a harmonious blend of emotional, mental, and spiritual connection. Often, Ishq is the beginning stage of a relationship. Many people start with Ishq, and if the bond matures with time, it gradually transforms into Mohabbat. But not every Ishq turns into Mohabbat. Ishq is a beautiful madness.
Mohabbat is a beautiful reality. In the end, both bring color to life. Ishq gives life passion and excitement, while Mohabbat gives it stability and peace. The person who can experience and balance both is truly fortunate. This version maintains the original depth, poetic touch, and cultural nuance while sounding natural and fluent in English.
