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

India’s Gen-Z protests draw international attention, bring focus on poll process and voters’ deletion. The other demands include halt and review of process of removing names from electoral rolls apart from issues like unemployment, educational reforms, transparency in exams. asiantribune.net/indias-gen-… #TheAsianTribune #ElectionCommission #BJP #CockroachJantaParty #Congress

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

The fear of AI stepping into all the fields and AI-driven jobs, automation leading to mass unemployment is causing unease in the society. Changes that took place in the past due to tech advancements had brought to fore similar anxieties earlier too, but the threat of machine replacing humans is more serious. #ArtificialIntelligence #Jobs #Unemployment #AI #TheAsianTribune

“London is a much safer city than any city in the United States.” I don’t know who this reporter is but other reporters should take notes. This is how you interview Elon Musk. She knew everything he’s posted on X.

A part of article on Ali Husain 'Aasim Bihari', freedom fighter, leader, who opposed partition, fought for downtrodden all his life. Belonged to the generation of selfless people who made sacrifices, faced hardships. Formed organisations, raised voice for workers and weavers, fought for the rights of underprivileged and was dedicated for the welfare of society. His core area of activity was in Bihar and Bengal, buried in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. --Shams Ur Rehman Alavi #FreedomFighter #AasimBihari #Bihar #India

Job creation and sustained attempt to keep focus on generating employments ought to be the foremost task now for governments as layoffs and AI's advent change the rules of the game. Visionary leadership and high priority on different sectors, development are needed. Policy paralysis and failure to focus on future and employment can affect nations. xitter.cf/asiantribunenet/status… #Economy #Jobs #Employment #AI #TheAsianTribune

Why @Meta letting its 'AI' flag simple & harmless posts under strange categories & putting restrictions on profiles. Simple article & post, removed with a message, 'fraudulent commercial practice', though post is a normal article. AI acts weird. Plaint ignored, post not restored, profile restricted. @Facebook @finkd 1/n

Mark, your project, Facebook is not completely 'broken' but it has got damaged. It should have proper systems. On one hand, extremely objectionable and openly hateful, speech, videos that call for discrimination are allowed, simple and normal posts are removed, for no reason.
