Kaun hain ye log, kahan se aate hain? Urging for a switch in old standards in 2026 is gold anachronism. Chronic ailment with some people but thoda zyada ho raha hai. Greenwich got the prime meridian crown because the British Crown was ruling navigation then. We can only clutch our pearls and insist Ujjain was robbed and deserves the crown instead. Kohinoor tumahara tha. Unka hai. Calm please. Koi calm dhaam nahin, maze hi maze! We use time, longitude, maps, directions, even the bloody metre and kilogramme because the British Empire conquered, measured, and declared it standard. The rest of the world adopted it and moved on. The world is not going to redo every GPS and flight chart to make you feel culturally validated. Standards aren’t about fairness or ancient glory. Greenwich won. Deal with it. You invented the zero and Greenwich is the zero. You invented the decimal but the empire's decimal point stuck. End of story. Yo duniya hai pradhan, yun hi chaale hai. Minister saab should do something useful and doable like gaming UGC guidelines and preventing paper leaks, instead of leaking ideas past their expiry dates. Huzoor aate aate bahut der kar di.

Jane Goodall had no college degree and no science background. She was a secretary. A scientist hired her to study wild chimps specifically because she knew nothing about science, and she ended up proving that the one thing we thought made us different from animals was wrong. Louis Leakey was studying human origins in Kenya and needed somebody to go live near wild chimpanzees in Tanzania and just watch them for months. He picked Goodall because he figured a trained scientist would show up with a head full of textbook ideas about how animals are supposed to behave. Goodall had none of that. She’d just observe what was actually happening. She showed up at Gombe in July 1960 with a notebook, binoculars, and her mom (local officials wouldn’t let her go into the jungle alone). For four straight months, every chimp she approached bolted, and her funding only covered six. Then she spotted a chimp she’d named David Greybeard. Naming them was considered completely unscientific, and her future professors at Cambridge would lose it over this, but she did it anyway. David poked a grass stalk into a termite mound, pulled it out covered in termites, and ate them right off the stalk. He was using a tool to get food. Then she watched him strip leaves off a twig to make it work better, turning a found object into a custom tool. Scientists had one rule for what made humans different: only we make tools. When she sent the news back to Leakey, he wrote: “Now we must redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as human.” Cambridge let her get a PhD without ever finishing a bachelor’s degree. Only the eighth person in the school’s history to pull that off. She discovered chimps eat meat (everyone assumed they were vegetarian), form alliances, and grieve when their family members die. A chimp named Flint stopped eating after his mother Flo died in 1972. Three weeks later, he was dead too. Between 1974 and 1978, a group of chimps she’d been watching for years split in two. The bigger group hunted down and killed every male from the smaller group, one by one, over four years. Ambushes on chimps caught alone. Goodall said she’d lie awake at night with the images stuck in her head. She’d always believed chimps were “rather nicer” than us. That belief didn’t survive. She got the Presidential Medal of Freedom in January 2025. Nine months later she died in her sleep at 91, on a speaking tour in California, still giving talks 300 days a year.

Let me tell you about NITHARI KAND today. Girl and women disappeared. Not one. Not two. Many. Parents ran from police station to police station, begging, crying, folding hands… and were ignored like their children didn’t matter. Then one day bones, skulls, rotting remains pulled out of a drain beside a house. A house owned by Moninder Singh Pandher. A house where Surinder Koli lived. A house where horror existed in silence while the system slept. He RAPED all of them and even ATE them . We were told the monsters were caught. Confessions, charges, death sentences, headlines . And now? Moninder Singh Pandher. Surinder Koli. ACQUITTED in all cases. This is our judiciary. This is our justice. A system where the poor don’t get heard until they become headlines. Where investigations are so broken that even after something this brutal, no one is held accountable. Where the truth is butchered just like the victims were. A complete collapse of “JUSTICE” . Nithari wasn’t just a crime. It was a warning. That in this country, you can lose your child in the most horrifying way possible… and still never get justice.

@VatsRishap I get these articles are written for a while and can't be trashed easily, but to write this on a day that the mediation drama was scrapped, UAE and china asked Pakistani to pay back money, IMF forced huge petrol price increase, and a major was lost on Durand Line, is hilarious

The kind of abuse being heaped on @mofauae by the Pakistanis just because UAE asked for its money should be a wake up call for the Gulf states. The Pakistanis seem to have forgotten how many of their workers stay in UAE and on whose remittances the country survives.
