It's good to be lazy and slow This makes you shine & glow There is more chance to crash If you are fast and in full flow That girl with eyes like a doe You too tried to woo her, I know She ditched me too, so we bond Haven't we suffered similar pain bro? Learnt lesson, now it's time to grow Try elsewhere, no need to crib, stop being a crow There is any reason to run or go wild? Saunter, observe, enjoy the high & low --Shams Ur Rehman Alavi [For fun. Part of my English ghazal ] 'The Bhopal Sentiment'. This sentiment is that when others run, lets walk. And when others walk, sit beside the commotion and watch them go. NOTE: Ghazal is a genre of Urdu poetry, written in a format. People often write ghazals in English too. #ShamsUrRehmanAlavi #Urdu #Ghazal #Poetry #Bhopal

Sweets packets keep coming but the gazak with groundnut is hard on my teeth, now. Ever since my teeth got weakened, I am extra cautious in eating meat, as well. Toothache is what I dread the most. Having no tolerance for it, anymore. Paaya and kofta, kabab, soft boti, I prefer.

Excellent data analysis by SABAR Institute @SabarInstitute_ of the Karnataka SIR !! They are doing a phenomenal Job in bringing out the problems in the ongoing SIR !! They should be supported in this great work ! @sabirahamedgd @indscribe @Ingrid_Bergman1 @NeetaSh31043935 @darab_farooqui @RahulSeeker @ghazalawahab @khan_zafarul @Ghazala2402 @khanthefatima @bushrakhanum86 @khanumarfa @RahulGandhi @SupriyaShrinate @RadhikaBarman5 @SartajAlamIndia @Ashok_Kashmir @ravish_journo @devinamehra @priyankagandhi @tishasaroyan @AdityaMenon22 @neha_aisa @Saiflens @SauravDassss @ms_medusssa @dhruv_rathee @KanojiaPJ @bismil_prasad @harsh_mander @TeestaSetalvad @pbhushan1 @rajuparulekar @MahuaMoitra @The_Mohdsalman @sushant_says

1,08,24,651. That is how many names are on the SIR ASDD (absent, shifted, dead, duplicate) list in Karnataka. One in every five voters on the 2023 roll. Behind every one of those numbers is a person. A daughter who married and moved to another village. A migrant worker away for the harvest. A young man who stepped out when the booth officer came. A transgender citizen who has already spent a lifetime fighting to be counted. At SABAR Institute, we went through every single name, all 224 assembly constituencies, and this is what we found: 🔹 85% of those removed are alive. Only 15 in 100 were marked dead. 🔹In 5 Bengaluru seats, more names were deleted than the number of people who voted there in 2023. 🔹 42.7% of Karnataka's third-gender voters are on the list, more than twice the rate for everyone else. 🔹 Outside Bengaluru, among young voters marked "shifted", twice as many women as men were removed. 🔹 Poorer districts, and districts with more Scheduled Caste residents, lost more voters. We did this because a name on a roll is not paperwork. It is a voice. When the most vulnerable are struck off quietly, someone has to count. But here is the truth: SABAR Institute is entirely crowdfunded. No corporate money, no party money. Just people who believe this work matters. And right now, we are running out of funds. We have shown it can be done. We want to do this for every state that goes through SIR. We can't do it alone. If this work means something to you, please support us, with a monthly contribution or a one-time donation, whatever you can. Every rupee keeps this going. 🔗 Donation link in the next tweet. 🧵👇 (1/n) #DataForBetterLives

One in every five voters, left off new draft roll in Karnataka SIR. 85% persons whose names got deleted are alive, suggests the analysis of the special intensive revision (SIR) process. The plaints about arbitrary deletions and discrepancies have come up from other states too in the past. #Karnataka #SIR #India #TheAsianTribune #Bengaluru

Gulf’s economic revival after ongoing US-Iran conflict: How long will it take for these nations and their economies to stabilize, rise again? Inflation, disrupted supplies, strain on economies dented the relatively poor nations as well as many strong countries in different parts of the world. Long lasting peace and a workable deal between countries that are in conflict, is now necessary to save the crumbling economy. #Dubai #Iranwar #Economy #WorldNews #TheAsianTribune

I write about US war, as it goes past six months and would enter seventh month soon. What was supposed to have been a 'quick' victory, is now a war that affects countries in other parts of the world and the global economy. Against odds, Iran stayed resilient and apart from asymmetric warfare, the attack on US' bases, affecting the economy of nations that host them, the decision to take over control of Strait of Hormuz, other strategies, has raised its influence in the region. asiantribune.net/us-trapped-… #WorldNews #Iran #Iranwar #US #TheAsianTribune

The press clubs of different cities have their own vibes. In Lucknow, it's the heritage building that was once an entrance gate of Qaiser Bagh palace complex that had been damaged extensively in 1857. The press club was formally established here in 1956. The signature fish emblem is visible. #UttarPradesh #Lucknow #UPPressClub #Awadh
