One of the reasons my mom got me enrolled in Rubai recitals was because of Mir Anees; we're all Mir Anees fans in this household
But you just cannot diminish Iqbal's stature based on deliberate decisions which other people marked as errors.
Calling Iqbal better than literary giants like Mir, Ghalib and Mir Anis is pure nationalism, as we know. Technically, Iqbal was an inferior poet whom his contemporaries in Lucknow regularly mocked. And philosophy? My foot He's a plagiarist.

Interestingly none of the 3 most famous Muslim American politicians today are Arabs. We have Zohran (Pakistani), Ilhan Omar (Minneapolitan), and Abdul El Sayed (white). Really shows the diversity of American Islam.

Cars are not an "investment". It is a deprecating asset. The "investment" was due to a stupid protectionist regime, which caused massive welfare loss for consumers as legacy automakers produced shirty cars that they cant even sell in their own domestic market.
Competition is great. The consumer gets more options, at a lower price as there is more competition. Legacy automakers can compete, but they may rather cry like perpetual infants they are
Dealers face losses. Buyers rethink choices. Water is wet.

The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani.
Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response.
Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind.
Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

#F1 | Toto Wolff says “win at all costs,” mentality is dead and that Kimi Antonelli should serve as a role model for entitled F1 drivers:
“This notion of win at all costs, selfish, opportunistic, ruthless for your own benefit, that model of racing driver has died.”
“We have a new champion [Kimi] that represents values like humility, like integrity, loyalty, respect, being himself, and should be a role model for many other young drivers in junior formulas, and should be a role model for the few entitled ones in F1, the endless moaners on the radio, the ones that complain, the ones that crash.”
“Look at this kid of 20 years, and then think what you can do in order to improve. That's the message to these kids. Kimi represents the modern F1 driver because of those values, not only because of his talent.”

Shout out to Leclerc though. He got bored of turning his pole positions into Max wins, so he decided to start doing it with Hamiltons pole positions too
