My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
A buyer of a Rs3 million Suzuki Alto pays about Rs543,000 in taxes, while a Rs10 million Deepal NEV faces around Rs100,000, according to an industry comparison cited in the article. 🧵
There is a Japanese Legend that says:
"Whether it's a machine, a house, or a relationship. Maintenance is always cheaper than repairing." What you don't maintain, you eventually lose.
POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.
Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.
20% is of course too much. We will be fair
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
Blue Pakistani passports should only be for officials on diplomatic assignments -- and that too only until their term lasts.
Why should every MNA, MPA & senator along with their families get them? This is also a form of corruption. These undue privileges undermine democracy.
A blue passport is an insult to the very idea of citizenship. Abolish it.
If you believe you and your children are entitled to a passport that places you above the people you claim to serve, then perhaps you’ve already decided where your loyalty lies. Safe travels.
