The best thing is when wars end, looking for victors and vanquished is futile, nobody wins a war. Did Hitler? Did Alexander? Did Napoleon? Did Caesar?

@nasirsogami Allah Magfirat Kare. He was my friend and our friendship often transcended political boundaries. He was a good listener and that quality is vanishing among our politicians now. Hope Tanvir follows father’s footsteps.

In today’s World of expedient greed, there are no permanent friends or enemies, no masters or servants. As Lord Loam said in ‘The Admirable Crichton’ servants may become masters and vice versa.

Madmen might do their worst, Allah alone has power on life and death. ‘Mudai Lakh Bura Chahe To Kya Hota Hai/Wohi Hota Hai Jo Manzoore Khuda Hota Hai’

@nasirsogami Thank Allah that Dr Sahib is safe. He is the tallest and the most respected and loved politician not only in J&K, but throughout India. Everybody is relieved after his miraculous escape at the hands of a drunken, mad man. Prayers of millions are on his side.

May Allah give all qualifiers of UPSC exam from J&K the wisdom to understand they are on the threshold of becoming public servants. It is a tragedy that many, not all, in the prestigious civil services believe they have replaced the colonial masters.

@nasirsogami congrats on Republic Day & your well deserved elevation dear. God bless you.

It is very necessary to close schools/colleges/ universities in the Valley today. It is a concerning situation and we shouldn’t risk lives of students and staff. A call needs to be immediately taken.

The loss of their beloved daughter has shocked me beyond words. No consolation or condolence can lessen the impact of tragedy on Mr & Mrs Amod Nagpure. I don’t know the family personally, but as a father and grand father I am cut to quick. God, the budding flower deserved better.

Don’t wait for rain, announce extension of summer vacation for schools. If we are callous to children, then we deserve to be banished

[sheikh Qayoom @SheikhQayoom]

A public servant is duty bound to serve the public. In almost all cases, overdue genuine, lawful monetary claims of people are put down on superfluous grounds. The corrupt want their cut, so-called honest think everything put up to them is false.Who of the 2 serves people!!

Very unfortunate the misuse of social media is making it a corridor for crime.

Some ‘honest’ spies are so loyal that they continue to pay tribute for the good scotch served to them by good hosts!!

Modern name of Frankenstein is AI. I hope and pray, I am wrong.

that we should owe our gratitude to for making our lives worth living. The rich only make money and do nothing else unless it is a Ratan Tata, who is an employment giver and not a money sucker. Long live the ordinary Indian. 2/1

It is the ordinary Indian citizen who works to run this World, masons, carpenters, sweepers, trash harvesters, road layers, brick layers, cooks, motor mechanics, heavy machinery operators etc etc 1/1
