There is nothing more scary than bumping into a furious black bear in a thick blue Pine forest
All credit to my friend from Kaghan Wildlife Range, Mr. Omar & other staff of KP Wildlife Dept to stand their ground & make this precious, rare video of a wildlife encounter

Pakistan responds to Abraham Accords issue:
“Our position is absolutely clear Pakistan supports a viable & contiguous State of Palestine with Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital.”
Pakistan says its benchmark remains an independent Palestinian state.
Huckabee is going full throttle asking Gulf nations to choose between Israel or Iran. Senator Graham is whipping up rhetoric against China and Pakistan in the Senate.
This sudden activity from known allies of Israel is much more than just an effort to spoil the chances of a US Iran deal by discrediting the mediator. It is an effort to spoil Trump's China visit by sowing uncertainty over an Iran war.
The upcoming summit in Beijing is both symbolically and substantively significant. It is set to define the contours of US China competition for at least a decade. Key understandings are expected on trade, the Taiwan issue, and US policy in the Indo Pacific. The US being entangled in Iran and seeking China's help does not put Trump in a better position for such a consequential meeting.
Projecting wins on both China and Iran is necessary for Trump to present something to the electorate before crucial November House elections. Success is equally necessary for Trump to register himself in the annals of history as one of the great US presidents, a wish he has expressed quite often.
Netanyahu, by trying to spoil all this, is basically telling Trump: if I am not getting the US to fight my forever war and I might land in jail after losing upcoming elections, I won't let your presidency and US have a smooth sail either.
I had the pleasure of communicating with him over a span of 20 odd years. He was kind enough to share his book draft and sought my feedback, which made me feel like a million bucks. He was a true gentleman, had his biases and strong likes and dislikes, and even though I didn’t always agree with him, he was always kind and considerate. May Allah grant him Jannat and shower his infinite mercies on him.
He had his likes, dislikes, and strong opinions, and we also did not always agree, but I will always remember him as one of the kindest men I ever met.
I first met him after my PTV World bulletins, when he came for the recording of the 7th September Air Defence show. From 2015 until his passing, we remained in contact.
One thing I can never forget is how deeply he admired Quaid-e-Azam. There was always a Quaid-e-Azam book placed in every room and on almost every table in his home, and he would often gift them to me as well.
I also feel honoured that I was doing recordings for his second book too.
Truly feel blessed to have known him.
And thank you for sharing your experience as well. :)

That's when he was telling me about his 1965 and 1971 encounters against the Indian Air Force, and the losses even the IAF itself acknowledged.
A legendary chapter of history, courage, and professionalism.
Rest in peace, Air Commodore Sajad Haider.

@rinasaeed@JJBaybee He was indeed a giant among men and is sorely missed. I always had an eye on one of his military jackets with this sassy quote, 'What is mine is mine. What is yours is negotiable.' May he rest in peace, Ameen 🤍
@rinasaeed@JJBaybee PAF has always owned India.
Love Sajjad Haider's swagger. His pathankot strike is probably one of the greatest aerial victories for Pakistan along with MM Alam's heroics and last year's thrashing of India in Sindoor.
