@ARanganathan72 @peyushbansal @Lenskart_com The real issue isn't choosing between symbols - it's whether companies can create rules that treat all employees fairly without fueling division.

Lenskart is yet to apologise for informing employees they are permitted to wear a hijab but not a bindi. Open challenge to @peyushbansal to inform employees they are permitted to wear a bindi but not a hijab.
You won’t have a head left to lodge your @Lenskart_com frames on.

@MarioNawfal When energy shocks hit industrial economies like Germany, the political fallout often strengthens anti-establishment forces before governments can stabilize the economy.
English
🇩🇪 The AfD has topped a German poll for the first time, pulling ahead of the ruling CDU/CSU coalition.
If elections were held today, Merz's government would lose. 65% of Germans rate him negatively, and government approval has collapsed to 27%.
Rising energy prices are doing most of the damage.
The Iran war's economic fallout is now moving German politics.

BREAKING: 🇮🇳 Indian refiners are paying for Iranian oil in Chinese yuan via ICICI Bank’s Shanghai branch, Reuters reports.
Indian Oil and Reliance bought rare Iranian crude cargoes under a temporary US sanctions waiver.
How the transactions worked:
➡️ Payments routed in yuan through ICICI Bank
➡️ Sent via ICICI’s Shanghai office to seller accounts in yuan
This comes as the US is expected to end the waiver soon, potentially stopping further purchases.

@MarioNawfal The real danger isn't Iran's blockade risk - it's that America's own strategy may be exposing its allies to the same pressure it wants to impose on Tehran.
English
🇸🇦🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's blockade of Iran is already making America's closest Gulf ally nervous, and the reason reveals the fatal flaw in the strategy
Saudi Arabia spent weeks rerouting its entire oil export operation after Hormuz closed, pumping crude across the desert to the Red Sea, exporting 7 million barrels a day through sheer logistical effort
Now Iran is signaling it could activate the Houthis and close the Bab-el-Mandeb, the Red Sea chokepoint that Saudi Arabia's entire backup route depends on
The Houthis already proved they could do it during the Gaza war, when their campaign cut Red Sea traffic in half, which it still hasn’t fully recovered
They have largely been sitting out the current U.S.-Iran conflict, but that could change
Saudi Arabia has no Plan C if the Bab-el-Mandeb is cut off
So when Riyadh tells Washington the blockade is too dangerous, they are not making a diplomatic point, they are describing their own existential vulnerability
A country that has already lost one export route and could lose the other with a single phone call from Tehran
The White House says the blockade is designed to help Gulf allies by keeping Iran from extorting the world
The Saudis are saying the cure may be worse than the disease

🇱🇧 Lebanon is in a deeply difficult position when it comes to reining in Hezbollah without tearing the country apart. - Hezbollah is not just a militia, it's woven into the social fabric of southern and eastern Lebanon - Dismantling Hezbollah without a security guarantee would leave Lebanon exposed to a full Israeli invasion with nothing to deter it - Families in those areas are mourning fighters killed on the front lines, Hezbollah flags are visible across the region - The Lebanese army withdrew as Israeli forces advanced, and communities haven't forgotten - Confronting Hezbollah without first reassuring the Shia community risks triggering internal strife - That's why the Lebanese army commander has been reluctant to act Source: Al Jazeera

@AdityaRajKaul The real danger of a Hormuz closure isn't just higher oil prices - it's the chain reaction through fuel, freight, food, and fragile economies.
English
IEA chief warns markets underestimate Hormuz closure
The International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol has warned that “the market is underestimating the consequences of a prolonged closure” of the Strait of Hormuz and that energy prices will rise.
Birol said there had been no new deliveries of oil, gas or fuels to Asian markets, with supply gaps now starting to emerge.
He added that poorer countries could be hit hardest because of weaker currencies and more limited financial resources.
Birol also warned that shortages of refined products such as kerosene and diesel could emerge if crude oil cannot reach refineries, potentially causing flight disruptions, cancellations and industrial supply problems in some countries.

JUST IN: 🇸🇾 Syria's President Ahmad al-Sharaa says the Golan Heights is Syrian land and cannot be given away.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Artemis II just splashed down and NASA is already pushing SpaceX and Blue Origin to move faster, because China plans to land on the moon by 2030 and the U.S. wants to beat them by two years. Blue Origin is attempting an uncrewed Blue Moon landing this summer. SpaceX is launching Starship V3 as early as May. NASA's own deputy manager said it plainly: "I don't have any faith that the design today is going to be the design that lands on the moon." The moon race is real, and the deadline is tight.
