Scared Aamir Khan needs to learn a thing or two about courage from the wonderful Naseeruddin Shah sahab. Why does Aamir Khan feel the need to clarify his wife's religion or whom his sisters married? Why respond to people who thrive on outrage and fleeting attention? In my view,...

VIDEO | Actor Saif Ali Khan says producer Shah Rukh Khan gave the team of "Kartavya" a free hand to make the film the way they wanted. In fact, Shah Rukh was the one who called Saif to inform about the script that they were developing at Red Chillies. "He said, ‘There’s a lovely script, and I would like you to hear it, and do it’. Then I listened to it and met the director. Once the film was complete, he said, ‘It has come out as a lovely movie’. He was very happy,” Saif said. “Sometimes the presence (of Shah Rukh) can be overwhelming on sets and I think he understands that. He gave us room to make the film on our own. I felt I was working for his production with his kind of sensibility,” the actor added. Directed by Pulkit of "Bhakshak" fame, the film stars Rasika Dugal opposite Saif and the actor said he is a huge fan of the "Mirzapur" star. #ShahRukhKhan

Lately, it's become a trend to talk about Carlos as if he only started learning to play tennis well (for some, even to be educated) at 15. As if one coach is the only responsible for his success and for who he is in every aspect. Meanwhile, this was Carlos at age 10 in Murcia. One can acknowledge the work of a coach and give him credit without diminishing the player, who is the one holding the racket and coming back in historic 5: 30 hours finals, as if he didn't exist or have anything to do with his own success or who he is. A world number one, the youngest in history, isn't solely the work of a coach. Is also the work of his family, all his team and people, but above all, it's HIS OWN WORK, his talent, his commitment to his dream, and his constant sacrifice since childhood. Even if every now and then he has the audacity to need to rest for a few days with his friends or family.

Is it true that when Saudi Crown Prince MBS lent his personal plane to Imran Khan for his trip to the U.S., Imran Khan and his team made critical remarks about MBS that were overheard by the Saudis, prompting MBS to take back his plane? If so, this perfectly encapsulates Imran Khan’s diplomatic record. From his provocative, offensive, and hollow speech against India’s Modi on occupied Kashmir at the UNGA, where he sounded more like a jihadi leader addressing a jirga in Waziristan than a statesman addressing the global leaders, to his suicidal attempt to form a "new Islamic bloc" with Turkey, Malaysia, and Iran, as well as his ill-advised comments about the Taliban after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Imran Khan consistently failed to justify his position or leverage opportunities effectively. While I have no doubt that Imran Khan is the best option for the people of Pakistan, he lacked the diplomatic finesse needed to carve out a role for himself on the global stage. It's such a shame that a cricketing legend and a former prime minister of a country has no friends to support him today. If not for the efforts of overseas Pakistanis, you wouldn't be seeing the little attention he gets from American and some British politicians. I wish, as a prime minister, Imran Khan was advised by educated and intelligent people who helped him establish himself as a world leader, not surrounded by emotional idiots who sent him to interviews unprepared, turned every interaction with the international press a PR disaster, sent him to Russia on the day Putin brutally invaded Ukraine, and asked him to walk barefoot in Madina like an ignorant, overly emotional person. Worse, they facilitated the mismanagement of priceless, personalized gifts he received from foreign leaders at Toshakhana, selling them and tarnishing his reputation and relationships. I hope that if and when Imran Khan gets another chance, he has a better team and conducts himself as a more effective leader, not just for his people, but on the global stage.

60 min Australia has a new documentary out tomorrow titled "What sort of King will Prince William be?"🔥 This question has been asked time and time again since Prince William was a teenager and more so now in adulthood. And we have yet to get a clear answer. why? because despite being born and raised in the spotlight for over 4 decades, the world still knows very little about the Man; about what he thinks, what he will do next, or what type of King he will be. Unlike his father and brother who have been very open with the press on what they think and will do next, Prince William has remained a great enigma and has always played his cards very close to the chest🔥 Prince William has given some interesting interviews thoughout the years but he has mastered the art of answering Questions without revealing much of what is truly going on behind the scene🤭 So to the Press and the World, he has remained "the great known unknown", as Journalist Stephen Bates coined, after an interview with the Prince🔥 This in essence is why the world continues to be facsinated by him and his family and why the Question continues to be asked in documentaries after documentaries "What type of King will Prince William be?" Well, to better understand the Man, these documentaries get former staff who worked closely with him for years, such as his Private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton or in this case, Jason Knauf who made a name for himself after exposing the Bullying of staff by Meghan markle inside the palace🔥 Jason Knauf is a Texan-born former corporate affairs executive who worked for a range of institutions, from the office of the New Zealand prime minister, to HM Treasury and the Royal Bank of Scotland; before joining the royal household. This American became the communications secretary to Prince Willam, Catherine and Prince Harry in 2015. Then, after Harry married, Jason led the press team for Meghan and Harry; which is how he witnessed firsthand, her bullying of staff and decided to expose her to his senior boss, Prince William. After ejecting H&M from Kensington Palace, William then made Knauf, a senior adviser to Catherine and him. Following that, Knauf also served as CEO of the Royal foundation and helped with bringing Earthshot to life. In 2023, Prince William awarded him an LVO for his outstanding work and dedication to the royal household🤩 Therefore, This documentary will be the first time ever, Jason is on Record giving an insight about his former boss and I am quite piked to hear what he has to say. One thing Jason stated in the preview is that When it comes to Prince William, "What you see is what you get"; Indeed, Prince William walks the talk quietly👏🏽 The Prince has stated that his family will be his priority and he has done just that over the years; He has stated his loyalty to the crown and has done just that and never hesitated to protect the crown against his own brother; He has stated that his private life is his business and he has done exactly that protecting it; He is a said to be "Alllegic to drama" and indeed has stayed away from any type of provocations or drama. So yes, We have definitely seen William throughout the years walk the talk, and his quiet consistency in his Royal work and family life is excatly why he is so respected on the world stage as a leader by many❤️ In that Jason is right, One of the Main attributes of a Strong Leader is that he stands by his words and keep his promises, regardless of challenges🔥1/2 📹60 minutesAustralia

Hitler speech 1922: “…he knows well enough his economics brings no blessing: his is no chosen people: he is an exploiter: the jews are a people of robbers. He has never founded any civilization, though he has destroyed civilizations by the hundred. He possesses nothing of his own creation to which he can point. Everything that he has is stolen. Foreign peoples, foreign workmen build him his temples, it is foreigners who create and work for him: it is foreigners who shed their blood for him. He knows no ‘people’s army’: he has only hired mercenaries who are ready to go to death on his behalf. He has no art of his own: bit by bit he has stolen it all from the other peoples or has watched them at work and then made his copy. He does not even know how merely to preserve the precious things which others have created: as he turns the treasures over in his hand they are transformed into dirt and dung.” Educational/historical purposes only

Another fantastic scene Knuckles letting the fact even after all his adventures with his friends he does feel alone due to being the last of his kind only for Sonic to reinforce that he is never alone because of them Now I see people not understand the scene and see it as not making sense since Knuckles has already been off his island several in past games. But here's the thing. Why is Knuckles off the island? Most of the time it is to help his friends but not for himself and at the end of the day he still does have to go back home. Hence why he envies Sonic's lifestyle. He doesn't have a home. He can wherever and do whatever. He has no responsibilities. This is what Knuckles means and what Sonic tells him. Have his adventures away from his island and live life the way Sonic does That's my TED Talk

“Last year, based on invitation by Hausa people, I visited Kano for the first time in my life. I met Alhaji Shamseen Nura who speaks Igbo and Hausa. He was trained by an Igbo man from Anambra. After spending about 10 years with his master, he was settled with N200,000 which he said was a lot of money back then. With that money, he bought a shop. Today, he has 5 shops all worth millions. The beautiful thing is that every Christmas, he sends N200,000 - N300,000 to his master who has since retired to the village as a gesture of appreciation. More importantly, his master linked him up to business men in Nnewi whom he has never seen as he has never been to Nnewi. These people give him goods running into tens of millions in credit. All based on the trust established by his master. Interestingly, he is not the only one I met with such stories.“ By Polyglot Adedeji Odulesi Polyglot adedeji Odulesi.

Shapiro: When you have a president who is focused on making money for himself, that corruption leaves us all worse off because it means he’s picking favorites not based on what benefits the American people, but on what benefits him and his children. He’s picking sides in battles that ultimately are un-American because he’s putting his own profiteering ahead of the needs of the American people. That’s point one: his corruption has a real cost to the American people. Point two, though, is that what he’s doing seemingly is totally protected because the Supreme Court of the United States made one of its worst decisions, really over the last century, to give this president absolute and total immunity. And so he feels like he can do anything. So while he sits in that gilded Oval Office, he’s not focused on solving your problems, getting you health care, putting a roof over your head, or driving down your costs. Instead, he’s focused on trying to figure out how he can make a buck for himself and his family. And that is at odds with meeting the needs of the American people. So the first thing is his corruption has a cost to you, and the second thing is his corruption has been enabled by this Supreme Court, which has given him absolute and total immunity. That’s why we need real reform. That’s why we need anti-corruption laws at the federal level. I could make an argument that we need a 28th Amendment to our Constitution to bake in some stricter guardrails to protect the American people from a president of the United States who lacks integrity, ethics, and honor the way this president does. I think everything needs to be on the table. We need real reform.

Tom Cruise on acting opposite Jack Nicholson: the lesson every actor needs to understand about the lens “He is off camera the whole time, just feeding, feeding me. And he'd be like, 'That was a good take. Good, good. Good Tommy, nice Tommy.'” “I could just see also as I'm doing it, when you're acting, you're in the performance, but it's very much kind of... I'm filling the space.” “A lot of artists are not, it's not taught in film school to understand what the lens is and what to do and why the eye movements, the eyebrows or the breath. And recognise what effect that has.” “You could feel his voice start to relax and his face start to relax and you could feel the energy that he was going. And it just, he just centred it. And just throwing, like, just lasers as the film went on.”

Beethoven could not hear the music he wrote. At the age of 28, he realized he was no longer able to listen to a flute being played in the distance, and he spent the rest of his life composing the most enduring music in Western history in almost complete silence... He had been a working musician since childhood. His ears were everything. In 1798, in the middle of a heated argument with a singer, he noticed for the first time that something was wrong. The sound was thinning at the edges. He could hear voices, but high frequencies were beginning to disappear. He told no one for years. By 1802, the truth was no longer deniable. On his doctor's advice he moved to Heiligenstadt, a quiet village outside Vienna, hoping the country air would help. It did not. There, alone and surrounded by farmland, he wrote a letter to his two brothers that he never sent. It was found among his papers after his death. We now call it the Heiligenstadt Testament, and it is one of the most devastating documents ever written by an artist about himself: "You men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the cause of my seeming so... what a humiliation, when one stood beside me and heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone heard the shepherd singing, and again I heard nothing." He wrote, in the same letter, that he had thought of ending his life. And then he wrote the line that explains everything that followed: "Only my art held me back. It seemed impossible to me to leave the world before I had produced everything I felt called upon to produce." He went back to Vienna. He went on composing. Over the next two decades his hearing continued to fade. Friends began writing their words down in small notebooks instead of speaking them aloud, and waiting while he read. Modern scholars call these the conversation books. Around four hundred of them survive. To compose, he developed his own methods. He bit one end of a wooden rod and pressed the other against the soundboard of his piano, letting the vibrations travel through his jaw to his inner ear. He had stumbled, through trial and error, onto the principle that modern science calls bone conduction. The cause of his deafness has never been settled. What we do know is this: he realized he was losing his hearing at twenty-eight, and he could have stopped. He wrote the letter, he held the thought of dying in his hand, and then he put down the pen and went back to work. Most of what he is remembered for was composed after that moment: The Fifth Symphony. The Seventh. The Ninth. The Missa Solemnis. The late quartets. All of it was made by a man who could no longer hear most of what he was writing. There are people who give the world what they receive, and there are people who give the world what they were never able to receive. The most enduring beauty in human history has almost always come from the second kind... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past. You can join us here: I write about beauty in all its forms. If you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible.

Okay, but was it you who said this? "I would focus extensively on the writings of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the true genius that India has produced in the last century or more. I think he is one of the underrated geniuses because I don't think he got his due when he lived, and subsequently, he’s been hijacked by all the wrong parties who are nowhere comparable to his erudition, his vision, his scholarship, and who do not come even remotely close to his own love for India. He was at heart an Indian who loved this particular country" Or are you just choosing a convenient side to stay safe, given the current political climate ?

I think he is one of the underrated geniuses because I don't think he got his due when he lived, and subsequently, he’s been hijacked by all the wrong parties who are nowhere comparable to his erudition, his vision, his scholarship, and who do not come even remotely close to his own love for India. He was at heart an Indian who loved this particular country" Or are you just choosing a convenient side to stay safe, given the current political climate ?

One of the most remarkable speeches by Pope Benedict XVI, delivered at the German Bundestag. “Yet I would like to underline a point that seems to me to be neglected, today as in the past: there is also an ecology of man. Man too has a nature that he must respect and that he cannot manipulate at will. Man is not merely self-creating freedom. Man does not create himself. He is intellect and will, but he is also nature, and his will is rightly ordered if he respects his nature, listens to it and accepts himself for who he is, as one who did not create himself. In this way, and in no other, is true human freedom fulfilled.”—Pope Benedict XVI

This is how Aamir Khan & his family fool us Yesterday, Aamir attacked Sonam Wangchuk, saying 3 Idiots is not on him Today, his niece Zayn Khan who a few days ago on video showed her watermelon & said "Free Palestine" has posted a video supporting Sonam Wangchuk🤡 She said "I just woke up to videos of Mr. Sonam Wangchuk being forcefully taken away from his peaceful protest and his peaceful hunger strike at Jantar Mantar. I don’t even have words. I am in absolute and complete shock. This is a complete breakdown of our system, of our democracy, of the rights that are awarded to us as human beings. And just to be clear, any political party, whether in power or not, does not own this country. We are the people of the country and any political power party that happens to be in power at that point works for the betterment and for the lives of the people and is answerable to the people of the country. When people of the country are asking for questions, you do not get to forcibly shut us up."

Britain should look at cutting aid to Pakistan until it upholds the rule of law, the former brother-in-law of jailed Imran Khan has told the Government. Speaking at Westminster, Lord Goldsmith, who previously served as a foreign minister, said: “I think anyone who is paying attention understands that Imran Khan has been denied access to lawyers and to his family, including his two sons, who are my nephews. “He has been denied access even to doctors. “We understand that he has spent much of his time in prison in solitary confinement and his health is deteriorating rapidly.” He added: “Does the minister agree that now is the time for us to reconsider our aid contributions to Pakistan – Pakistan is often at the top of the list of recipients of UK aid – until that country’s Government demonstrate a clear, unambiguous commitment to the Commonwealth Charter that it signed up to, which commits it to an independent judiciary and the rule of law?”

Destiny is a sociopath. He is incapable of empathy. He does not act like a human, and he barely wears his disguise convincingly as he twitches and fidgets in his seat like some creature uncomfortable in a skinsuit that does not belong to it. It's telling that Left has allowed Destiny to represent their entire ideology by rewarding him with views, donations, and a pedestal from which he uses to spew his murderous ideology to millions of people. The fact that this demagogue, like Hasan Piker, has as much clout as he does, should tell you everything you need to know about the Left. This is what you're up against.
