ابنِ انشا نے بڑی سوچ بچار سے عشق لگایا تھا
ایسی محبوبہ کا چناؤ کیا تھا جو پہلے ہی کسی اور کی ہو چکی تھی شادی شدہ/ بچّوں والی تھی جس کے دل میں انشا کے لیے جذبۂ ہم دردی پیدا ہونے کا کوئی امکان نہ تھا
جس سے ملنے کے تمام راستے مسدود ہو چکے تھے

اپنے عشق کو پورے طور پر محفوظ کر لینے کے بعد اس نے عشق کے ساز پر بیراگ کا نغمہ چھیڑ دیا مواقع تو ملے مگر انشا نے کبھی محبوبہ سے بات نہ کی، اسکی ہمّت نہ پڑی
اکثر دوستوں سے کہتا: یار اُسے کہہ کہ مجھ سے بات کرے
اسکے انداز میں بڑی منت,عاجزی ہوتی

محبوبہ تیز طرّار/دنیا دار تھی
پہلے تمسخر اڑاتی رہی
پھر انشا کی دیوانگی کوکام میں لانے کامنصوبہ باندھا اس دلچسپ مشغلے میں میاں بھی شریک تھا
انشا کو فرمائشیں موصول ہونے لگیں
اس پرانشا پھولے نہ سماتا
دوستوں نےبہت سمجھایا انشا وہ تجھے بنا رہی ہے

How long would the #COVID19 #pandemic have lasted without the #vaccine?

We have two ways to answer this question: the first is the #historical one, i.e. looking at the past and understanding how many years the previous pandemics caused by respiratory #viruses lasted. (1/9) Image
The available data tell us that all pandemics caused by respiratory #viruses lasted about two years:

-Influenza A H1N1 (swine flu), caused by an #influenza A virus of swine origin, lasted from April 2009 to August 2010.

-Influenza A H3N2 (Hong Kong flu), (2/9)
caused by an influenza A virus that emerged in 1968 and replaced the previous H2N2 #virus, which lasted until 1970.

Influenza A H2N2 (Asian flu), caused by an #influenza A virus that emerged in 1957 and replaced the previous H1N1 virus, which lasted until 1958. (3/9)

بہادر شاہ ظفر کی طرف سے دبیرُ الملک، نجم الدّولہ اور نظامِ جنگ کے القابات عطا کئے جانے کے بعد مرزا غالبؔ نے بیگم اِمراؤ جان کو یہ خوشخبری سنائی

شاعر کے کلام کی تاثیر ہی اس کی عظمت کا پتہ دیتی ہے
چوتھی صدی ہجری کا شاعر رودکی سمرقندی بادشاہ وقت کے ساتھ سفر پر نکلا
بادشاہ نے اک خوبصورت سرسبز مقام(ہرات ،افغانستان) کے مقام پر پڑاؤ ڈالا
بادشاہ کو اس علاقہ کی ہریالی و شادابی اتنی پسند

بالآخر اہل قافلہ نے رودکی سے فریاد کی کہ کوئی تدبیر کرے

جب محفل میں شراب کا دور جاری ہوا
وطن کی یاد میں خوش الحانی کے ساتھ ایسے شعر کہے بادشاہ بے چین ہو کر فی الفور تخت سے اترا
جوتے پہنے بغیر ہی پیاد پا بخارا کی جانب دوڑنا شروع کردیا
اہل قافلہ نے موقع کو غنیمت جانا
اور لاو لشکر سمیٹ کے بادشاہ کے پیچھے ہولئے

(1/7) #FridayReads #FictionFriday

I highly recommend #LynnKurland's novels, in particular, her #dePiaget and #MacLeod series. Here's the kicker, the two series have a lot of crossovers, too!

What is the genre of the two series? It depends on the novel.

#Reading
(2/7) 1. The most common is #romance and #romantic (the romantic “genre” isn't necessarily romance per se). Now, we are not talking about romance as most people assume, a girl is head over hills on a hunk guy who is a secret villain or a vampire. (aside: Nothing wrong with it.)
(3/7) 2. #TimeTravel
3. #Historical
4. #Paranormal
5. #Fantasy

There is also a touch of #family and #relationships here and there.

The first book I've read was #DreamsOfStardust. It was so good, I bought every copy of it I saw, and gave away for free to friends and colleagues.

Somalis are appalled @ATMIS_Somalia allowed #Ethiopian army in #Baidoa to abuse the proud military #history of our @SNAForce by adoring and glorifying #SovietUnion alliance’s acts of aggression against #Somalia in #Karamardha as part of 1977-78 #WesternSomalia #Liberation War-1/4
These abhorrent antics are not only an affront to Somalia’s sovereignty, dignity and sensibility but are also against the Status of Mission Agreement #SOMA signed by @amisomsomalia. Article VI addresses conduct of #AMISOM and #ATMIS personnel who are required to always adhere to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#Somalia must demand answers from @ATMIS_Somalia and @_AfricanUnion for #Ethiopia’s appalling violations of #SOMA. @MOFASomalia must also summon Ethiopia’s Ambassador and demand an apology from @mfaethiopia for the abuse of Somalia’s military #history and national sensibility-3/4

कुतुबुद्दीन घोड़े से गिर कर मरा,

यह तो सब जानते हैं, लेकिन कैसे??? यह आज हम आपको बताएंगे!!! दरअसल वीर महाराणा प्रताप जी का 'चेतक' सबको याद है लेकिन 'शुभ्रक' नहीं! तो मितरों, पेश है कट्टर देशभक्त हिन्दू घोड़े-

शुभ्रक की कथा ।
तो हुआ ये, कुतुबुद्दीन ऐबक ने राजपूताना में जम कर कहर बरपाया। उस दौर में कोई भी मुंह उठाये आता था, और कहर बरपा कर चला जाता था।

तो कहर बरपाने के बाद वह उदयपुर के 'राजकुंवर कर्णसिंह' को बंदी बनाकर लाहौर ले गया।कुंवर का 'शुभ्रक' नामक एक स्वामिभक्त घोड़ा था,
जो कुतुबुद्दीन को पसंद आ गया। और वो उसे भी साथ ले गया।

नही ले जाना था।

दरअसल पराई नार और पराये घोड़े पर नजर न डालने वाला गीत कुतुबुद्दीन ने सुना नही था। यही उसकी मौत का परवाना बनने वाला था।

1/Thinking of #trees #peat #carbon and #nature and #fires. When are Victorians (without hysterics @theage ) to be made fully aware of the State #auslaws over fines in State Parks for picking up a rock, walking off track and so on. @DanielAndrewsMP/2
2/As it is now there are hundreds of shooting licensed people walking off track. Hundreds of thousands of feral deer, xrabbits,x pigs (latter two a food, anti #poverty source that cannot be culled by shooters) already damaging #native wildlife.Protecting #Indigenous locations/3
3/ @DanielAndrewsMP is key but to lock up (by fines) large areas is #segregation and discrimination. To lock up but then ok if you pay — is a cynical misuse of power. It would be good to hear from #Indigenous Victoria as we already know the value of the birthing trees was/4

1. My #SamarkandSummit orientalist🧵on its toponym and etymology. Incorrect is #Wikipedia's #Samarkand etymon entry and false analogy to #Tashkent. Both #Samarkand, like neighbouring #Bukhara, remain extensively debated in eastern #MiddleIranian #philology.
2. #Samarkand, contra #Wikipedia, is not 'stone city'. The first element /sm’r/ remains unexplained. On #Sogdian sm’rknδh [Ancient Letters], cf. Chin. Samojian 颯秣建 Gr. Μαρακάνδοι, scholarly consensus exists only on second compound, #Sogdian 'town, city'.
3. #Sogdian knδh 'town, city' > #Christian #Sogdian qθ; /sm’r/ element unmentioned in Gharib 1995 [Sogdian #Dictionary], @iranicaonline, or EI2 [Enc. of #Islam) entries. See @Brill_ME_Africa EI2, VIII/1995: 1031-032, s.v. #Samarkand Schaeder (rev. Bosworth).

#AllahabadHighCourt directs for removal of all encroachment in Chandrashekhar Azad Park, Prayagraj by October 8.

Plea before court alleged that for the last few years, the members of the Muslim community are trying to construct a mosque within the park area.
#allahabadhc
A report before court showed that there are encroachments raised in the shape of religious constructions as Graves, Mazaars or Mosque within the area of the historical park.

Presenting BoundaryNet - a resizing-free approach for high-precision weakly supervised document layout parsing. BoundaryNet will be an ORAL presentation (Oral Session 3) today at @icdar2021 . Project page: ihdia.iiit.ac.in/BoundaryNet/ . Details 👇 Image
Precise boundary annotations can be crucial for downstream applications which rely on region-class semantics. Some document collections contain irregular and overlapping region instances. Fully automatic approaches require resizing and often produce suboptimal parsing results. Image
Our semi-automatic approach takes region bounding box as input and predicts boundary polygon as output. Importantly, BoundaryNet can handle variable sized images without any need for resizing. Image

#OnThisDay in 1914 the Canadian Pacific ocean liner RMS Empress of Ireland sank near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River after colliding with the SS Storstad in thick fog. Of the 1,477 people on board, 1,012 died, making it the worst peacetime marine disaster in Canadian history.
167 members of the Salvation Army were among those who perished on the Empress early that morning, only 22 were found. Their remains were ceremoniously interred at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto.
In 1916 a unique monument was erected at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in sacred memory of Salvationists lost in the Empress of Ireland disaster. Designed by Salvation Army Major Gideon Miller, it depicts ocean waves with a crowned cross, beautifully sculpted in granite by Emanuel Hahn

Cool Find!!! Adam Wynne recently messaged me to ask if I had any information about the ghost sign on the south side of 111 River Street in Toronto. The building is currently under threat of demolition.
I wrote back that I had nothing on it, surprised because I didn't even know there was a ghost sign at the location. However, I agreed to dig further. All the lettering I could make out from the photos at the beginning was choppy, "Office... .... & Co."
I stared at this faded sign through several years of Google Street Views for far too long, messaged back and forth with Adam about the history of the surrounding area, dove into the usual some online research, and started tracing what lettering I could decypher...

So what is really happening in #SheikhJarrah?
At the end of the 19th century the committee of the Sephardi Jews in Jerusalem and the committee of Knesset Israel (Ashkenazi Jews) bought the land in #SheikhJarrah that was completely empty at the time.
In the 1950’s the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan that controlled the land illegally, decided to build 28 houses for Arab Palestinian refugees. The price the Palestinian families needed to pay for a house was giving up on their refugee statues and their refugee cards.

शंख : 🐚

शंखाबद्दल आतापर्यंत तुम्ही बरेच काही ऐकले असेल. प्रत्येक शुभ कार्यांमध्ये याचा वापर केला जातो कारण याला फार शुभ मानले गेले आहे. घरात पुजा असो किंवा लग्न प्रत्येक वेळेस शंखाचा वापर केला जातो.
शंख हा समुद्रात सापडतो. शंख विजय, समृद्धी, आनंद, शांती, प्रसिद्धी, कीर्ति आणि लक्ष्मी यांचे प्रतीक मानले जाते. सर्वात महत्त्वाचे म्हणजे शंख हे नादांचे प्रतीक आहे. शंख भगवान विष्णूला समर्पित होता म्हणूनच लक्ष्मी-विष्णू (श्रीलक्ष्मी नारायण) पूजेमध्ये मूलत: शंख वाजविला ​​जातो.
शंख असतो तेथे विष्णू आणि देवी लक्ष्मीचे वास्तव्य असते, अशी हिंदूंची धारणा आहे.

भगवान महाविष्णूंच्या हातातील अनेक आयुधांमध्ये शंखाला स्थान मिळाले आहे. त्यामुळे त्याचे महत्त्व वाढले आणि साहजिकच त्याचा पूजेतला मानही वाढला. शंख रणवाद्य म्हणून गौरवले गेले.

#GeorgiaOnMyMind
I am English, and I am elated that Georgia has turned #Blue and come out for Biden.
I'd like to tell you why.
Most of my followers are Pro Europe, #FBPE, and American has such a different system and history to here, this might help explain things a little.
1/
Biden is now leading in Georgia by 917 votes!
#Georgia has turned #Blue!
American politics is purposefully confusing, but THIS is hugely significant. Georgia is not any old state.

A win in Georgia would leave Biden one electoral vote short of the presidency. But there's more..

#Georgia is old slaver territory.
Georgia is where many freed slaves stayed.
Georgia is grass roots civil rights movement.
Georgia has seen huge voter suppression.
Georgia’s Black women have done the world proud.
