I'm back to mostly listening to 90s alternative rock these days, and when someone asked me to put together a list of songs I love, I did exactly that.

Enjoy.

Wasn't really following this World Cup. Won't watch another match now. Easily the worst World Cup in memory. Qatar raised the bar so high in 2022 that this edition never stood a chance. FIFA is a fraud. They'll stoop to any level to help a predominantly white country win.
बार बार ये हल्ला होता है कि वोटिंग के बाद EVMs में पड़े वोट कैसे बढ़ते रहते हैं.
2024 हरियाणा विधानसभा चुनाव में अक्टूबर 5 को वोट पड़े और वोट प्रतिशत मतदान के बाद भी बढ़ता गया. 7 बजे #ElectionCommission ने मतदान प्रतिशत बताया, फिर रात 12 बजे इसको काफी बढाकर बताया गया. दोनों आंकड़ों का अंतर कुछ जगहों पर 7% से ज्यादा था. कमाल तो तब हुआ जब मतगणना के एक दिन पहले, अक्टूबर 7 को आयोग ने एक बार फिर बढ़ा हुआ आंकड़ा बताया. इस पर मैंने कई बार चुनाव आयोग के काम करने के तरीके पर सवाल उठाए.
इससे बचने के लिए ये सुझाव अच्छा है कि चुनाव आयोग ख़ुद बताए कि शाम 6 बजे तक कतार में कितने मतदाता थे. इससे अंतिम आंकड़ा कम तो हो सकता है पर बढ़ेगा नहीं. कम इसलिए क्योंकि हो सकता है ज्यादा देर की वजह से कुछ लोग लाइन से हट जाएं.
चुनाव आयोग को हर अच्छे सुझाव को मानना चाहिए ताकि पश्चिम बंगाल चुनाव पर सवाल न उठें और आयोग की विश्वसनियता बने.
अपनी क्या राय है…

LIVE FOOTAGE: After days of being trapped under the rubble, two Palestinian children were saved by First Responders.
They were found hugging each other.
चुनावों में कितना भी अर्ध सैनिक बल लगाकर मनोवैज्ञानिक दबाव बना लीजिए, पुलिस लगा कर दिखावा कर लीजिए, उनके परेड करते वीडियो से माहौल बना लीजिए लेकिन सच यह है कि ख़रीदने पर इस देश में पनीर शुद्ध ही होगा, इसकी गारंटी कोई नहीं दे सकता। हेराफेरी, मिलावट, ठगी मूल प्रवृत्ति का अंश बनता जा रहा है। माता वैष्णव देवी ट्रस्ट ने 550 करोड़ की चाँदी का चढ़ावा भारत के राष्ट्रीय टकसाल को सौंपा है ताकि इन सबको गलाया जा सके और रखाने लायक बनाया जा सके। गलाने पर पता चला कि असली चाँदी नहीं है। इसमें मिलावट है। ट्रस्ट को अनुमान था कि 550 करोड़ की चाँदी हो सकती है मगर 20 करोड़ से ज़्यादा की नहीं लगती। लोहा और कैडमियम मिला हुआ है। चाँदी बहुत कम है। मतलब चाँदी का सिक्का बेच कर 500 करोड़ से अधिक का काला धन बन गया।
देश भर से लोग चाँदी का गहना और सिक्का ख़रीद कर माता वैष्णव देवी के दर्शन करने जाते हैं। मतलब जगह-जगह में यह ठगी चल रही है। इस तरह की ठगी को कोई नहीं रोक सकता है। कारण सबको पता है। आस्था के नाम पर कहीं भी कूद जाने वाली राजनीति भी इसे ठीक नहीं कर सकती है। कोई देवी देवताओं को क्या ठगेगा लेकिन उनके नाम पर ठगा जा रहा है, ठगने का तंत्र बेहद व्यापक है। पनीर और चाँदी शुद्ध बिकने की गारंटी कोई नहीं दे सकता है। प्रशांत मुखर्जी की रिपोर्ट है।इकोनोमिक टाइम्स में छपी है।
Since the Epstein class is insulting the holy Prophet and his wife Aisha in order to hide their crimes, I decided to write this. Historians list Aisha among the first two dozen people to convert to Islam, which would have required her to be at least several years old at the start of the Prophet's mission. The overwhelming consensus among Shia scholars is that she was 18-19 when she married. This is the most frequently cited range, often calculated using the age of her older sister, Asma, who was 10 years older and died at 100 years old.
Spoke with President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian and conveyed Eid and Nowruz greetings. We expressed hope that this festive season brings peace, stability and prosperity to West Asia.
Condemned attacks on critical infrastructure in the region, which threaten regional stability and disrupt global supply chains.
Reiterated the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation and ensuring that shipping lanes remain open and secure.
Appreciated Iran’s continued support for the safety and security of Indian nationals in Iran.

If your father or mother is above 67, please pause and read this slowly.
At that age, life begins to feel different for them. The world moves faster, but their bodies move slower. The things they once did effortlessly now require effort. Their strength is not what it used to be, and even if they don’t say it, they feel it.
What they need now is not pressure. Not stress. Not arguments about money or past mistakes. They need stability. They need reassurance. They need to feel safe.
If they have savings, protect it. This is not the stage for risky investments or “let’s try this opportunity.” It is the stage for preservation. Capital safety matters more than high returns. Peace of mind matters more than profit.
If they depend on you financially, don’t see it as a burden. See it as a privilege. The same hands that once carried you are now weaker. The same voices that defended you now speak softer. Support them with dignity, not pity.
And beyond money, give them something deeper.
Call them without being in a hurry.
Sit with them without checking your phone every two minutes.
Let them repeat stories you’ve heard before. One day, you will wish to hear those stories again.
At 67 and above, what they truly fear is not death. It is loneliness. It is feeling forgotten.
Take care of their health. Help them organize their documents. Make sure they are not being financially manipulated. Protect them from stress. But most importantly, protect their heart.
Because one day, the chair they sit on will be empty.
And no amount of money will buy back one more conversation.
Never thought I'll see this day. Ayatollah Khamenei's shahadat brought Shia and Sunni together in Lucknow. May this unity prevail In sha Allah. We grieve with you our brothers. This is outside the bada imambada in Lucknow.
Not a single newspaper in India has carried the Assam CM’s genocidal act. The centrist, pro access journalists in the country have looked the other way. This is a dark day in the history of India when Modi is visiting a Muslim majority country. I hope history bears witness..
I can't sit up straight for leisure reading. I have to be either lying down, slouching, or curling up.
I've never understood how people read sitting up straight. I believe it is a super power.
