Dave Grohl's time with Nirvana, it was first released on Pocketwatch, an album Grohl issued under the pseudonym Late! in 1992. Released as a Nirvana B-side, and later reimagined by Foo Fighters, the song's beauty lies in its understated beauty, reflecting Grohl's ability to craft music to its stripped-down essence. Grohl sings in almost a whisper-'All in all the clock is slow/ Six colour pictures all in a row/ Of a marigold'-is pure zen. With harmonies and gentle percussion, you feel warmth of the quite burst of yellow that the flower possesses.

Citizens Strategy community Bill social Equality rights Congress says Waqf Bill part of BJP's polarisation plot

«The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, is part of BJP's strategy, and continuing attempts to damage the centuries-old bonds of social harmony… to demonise minority communities by spreading false propaganda and creating prejudices, dilute constitutional provisions that guarantee equal rights and protections to all citizens, and defame traditions and institutions of minority communities to keep our society in a state of permanent polarisation for electoral gains,» said a Congress statement issued by spokesperson Jairam Ramesh. Once again identifying with the reservations the larger Opposition benches had raised and registered during the scrutiny of the bill by the joint parliamentary committee, Ramesh argued that the bill «is deeply flawed» on five counts: «All the institutions created by previous laws to administer waqfs are actively sought to be reduced in stature, composition and authority so as to deliberately deprive the community the right to administer its own religious traditions and affairs. Deliberate ambiguity has been introduced for determining who can donate their land for waqf purposes, thus altering the very definition of waqf itself.

Cooper Manufacturing economy Enterprise Trade country information Borderless? Think again as notion of unfettered globalisation is tenuous

borderless world' was first propagated by Kenichi Ohmae, author of The Mind of the Strategist, in the 1990s. He predicted an era in which national boundaries would become less significant, and the free flow of goods, services, capital and information would define global trade and commerce. His theory embodied the zeitgeist of late 20th-century trade. The dawn of the 21st century appeared to vindicate his foresight, with trade liberalisation, tech breakthroughs, and MNCs propelling the globe toward economic interdependence. But the question now is whether idealism survives the political opportunism. The Trump administration's tariffs and economic nationalism raise the question of whether the era of a borderless world is coming to an end. With political slogans such as 'America First', and MAGA, Trump seeks to recalibrate trade dynamics by imposing punitive tariffs on imports from countries like Canada, Mexico, India and China.
