If you listen to it for the first time after that, it'll turn into a habit in your day.

It has an incredible amount of psychological comfort, masha'Allah.

A joint statement by former international captains Michael Atherton, Allan Border, Michael Brearley, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Belinda Clark, Sunil Gavaskar, David Gower, Kim Hughes, Nasser Hussain, Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev, Steve Waugh, John Wright on behalf of Imran Khan:

"We, the undersigned former captains of our national cricket teams, write with deep concern regarding the reported treatment and incarceration conditions of Imran Khan, the distinguished former Captain of Pakistan and a legendary figure in world cricket.

Imran Khan's contributions to the game are universally admired. As captain, he led Pakistan to their historic 1992 Cricket World Cup victory - a triumph built on skill, resilience, leadership, and sportsmanship that inspired generations across borders.

Many of us competed against him, shared the field with him, or grew up idolizing his all-round brilliance, charisma, and competitive spirit. He remains one of the finest all-rounders and captains the sport has ever seen, earning respect from players, fans, and administrators alike.

Beyond cricket, Imran Khan served as Prime Minister of Pakistan, leading his nation during a challenging period. Regardless of political perspectives, he holds the honour of having been democratically elected to the highest office in his country.

Recent reports concerning his health - particularly the alarming deterioration of his vision while in custody - and the conditions of his imprisonment over the past two and a half years have caused us profound concern.

As fellow cricketers who understand the values of fair play, honour, and respect that transcend the boundary rope, we believe that a person of Imran Khan's stature deserves to be treated with the dignity and basic human consideration befitting a former national leader and a global sporting icon.

We respectfully urge the Government of Pakistan to ensure that Imran Khan receives:

Immediate, adequate and ongoing medical attention from qualified specialists of his choosing to address his reported health issues.

Humane and dignified conditions of detention in line with international standards, including regular visits by close family members.

Fair and transparent access to legal processes without undue delay or hindrance.

Cricket has long been a bridge between nations. Our shared history on the field reminds us that rivalry ends when the stumps are drawn - and respect endures. Imran Khan embodied that spirit throughout his career.

We call on authorities to honour it now by upholding the principles of decency and justice.

This appeal is made in the spirit of sportsmanship and common humanity, without prejudice to any legal proceedings"

This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story:

“I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world.

Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.”

Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.

Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine on Earth.

It triggers your body to "eat up" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

بیشرم ہیں ہم بیغیرت ہیں
اور پھر بھی مہو حیرت ہیں
کہ خون یہ کیسا ہے جو
سڑکوں پر بہتا ہے رات اور دن
یہ خون بہایا ہے کس نے
انسان ہے کوئی یا ہے جن
کیوں آگ لگی ہے گلی گلی
مرجھائی سی کیوں ہے کلی کلی
کیوں چہرے سب کے زرد ہوئے
دامن آلود_گرد ہوئے
کیوں نظریں ہیں سہمی سہمی
کیوں ماند پڑی گہما گہمی
کانوں کو سب ہیں بند کیئے
گل کر ڈالے آنکھوں کے دیے
سب اپنی بولی بولتے ہیں
بس اڑنے کو پر تولتے ہیں
ایسے میں کس کی کون سنے
کیا چاہت کے کوئی گیت بنے
تم کہتے ہو کہ "ہم حق ہیں"
پھر کیوں تم سب کے رنگ فق ہیں
کیوں سچی بات چھپاتے ہو کیوں دبے پاوں پھر جاتے ہو
کروانے ظلم سے چارہ گری
کہہ دوں میں اور اک بات کھری
تم جیسے جو ہیں سیاستدان
سب بیچ چکے اپنا ایمان
کچھ اور ہی ہیں کب ہیں انسان
پیاری ہے فقط تمہیں اپنی جان
جلتا ہے وطن تو جلنے دو
تم اپنی حکومت کرتے رہو
اور پاس تمہارے ہے جو بم
بس اس کو بیٹھ کے سیتے رہو
ارے ملک کی بھی کچھ فکر کرو
آدھا تو ہاتھ سے نکل گیا
جو ہے گر وہ بھی پھسل گیا
تو جتنا مال کمایا ہے
جو کچھ بھی تم نے کھایا ہے
وہ کسی کام نہ آوے گا
آخر کو بس پچھتاوے گا
تو لوگ جو بولیں بس وہ  مان
مت کر تو اور اپنا نقصان
مجبور سہی یہ خلق مگر
با خدا ذرا معذور نہیں
سب ایک طرف ہیں چور چکار
پر سب پر بھاری آٹھ سو چار(804)
تم کو تو فقط ہے فکر_جان
اس کو ہے پیارا پاکستان
ارباب_ حکومت مردہ باد
ہم زندہ باد پائندہ باد
تم چور لٹیرے اور قاتل
ہم حق ہیں اور تم ہو باطل
تم آقا ہو نہ عالیجاہ
بذدل ہو بھگوڑے ہو ہر گاہ
تم کسی طرح منظور نہیں
انجام تمہارا دور نہیں

Pakistan WIN in Australia.
This is the reason they HAVE TO sort out all the negative ‘noise’ and help the talent show off their skills.
Put the politics aside and let the cricket do the talking!

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The story we’re publishing today is one you really have to read to believe. It’s about the U.S. role in fomenting authoritarianism in Pakistan, but more broadly about the way institutions like the New York Times treat the scourge of antisemitism only as a weapon to wield against opponents and as something to blithely ignore when inconvenient.

Last week, we reported on a letter signed by 62 members of Congress urging Pakistan’s military government to respect human rights and release political prisoners, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Immediately after the publication of the letter, US embassy officials met with Pakistani counterparts and conveyed the same message, the State Department confirmed. The next day, Pakistan released Khan’s sister and wife, but not Khan.

The Pakistan security establishment proceeded to go into full blown meltdown, and launched a wildly antisemitic and homophobic smear campaign. Leading the charge was a newspaper run by none other than the Pakistan correspondent for the New York Times. The State Department subsequently condemned the flagrant antisemitism, but the Times, in a statement to us, is shockingly standing by their reporter, claiming that what he does outside of the Times is not their concern. That standard, of course, does not apply in the case of Times reporters who have been publicly critical of Israel. That, for the Times, is unacceptable. But unvarnished antisemitism, as long as it’s in line with U.S. foreign policy interests, is none of the paper’s concern. Read the story here, with @MazMHussain & @worqas, if you think I’m exaggerating. https://t.co/eySo7PGPJ2
