Fuel Prices Up, Salaries Cut: Energy Shock To Pakistan Amid Iran War

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday announced a sweeping austerity and energy-saving plan, saying the steps were necessary as the country confronts a global fuel crisis triggered by the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Pakistan, like several other economies, is facing fuel supply disruptions following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global energy supplies. The disruption began after Iran retaliated against US bases in the Middle East following joint strikes by the United States and Israel, complicating oil shipments across the region. Amid tightening supplies, Pakistan increased petrol and diesel prices by 20 per cent and rolled out nationwide austerity measures aimed at cutting fuel consumption and government spending. Region "In A State Of War" In a televised address to the nation, Sharif said the wider region had been engulfed in conflict and stressed that Pakistan was working through diploma...

First-Time Father Holding Newborn Melts Hearts, Video Hits 207 Million Views

A heartwarming video of a first-time father's nervous and emotional reaction to holding his newborn has captivated millions after being shared by Dr. Suganya Saravanakumar on Instagram. The clip, filmed at Sugan Multispecialty Hospital in Chennai, shows the doctor gently guiding the trembling father as he experiences a mix of awe, fear, and joy. In the video, the father's hands are visibly shaking as he prepares to touch the infant. He appears stiff and unsure, prompting the doctor to calmly coach him on how to position his hands safely.

"The strongest person has trembling hands to hold the tiny joy. Moments are lived. Memories are cherished every day, every minute, every second; the new joy joins the family," the video was captioned on Instagram.

Watch the video here:

Shared on March 7, the video has already garnered over 207 million views and 9.9 million likes on Instagram. Netizens have praised the doctor's patience and the father's raw, authentic vulnerability, with many commenting that it perfectly captures the "real father's fear" of holding something so precious and fragile. 

One user wrote, "The weight on his shoulders, he felt like lifting a whole world." Another commented, "The purest form of love, fear of hurting unknowingly, to stay away to keep it protected."

A third said, "He must have lifted so much weight in the gym, but he is scared of holding his baby." Think how sensitive and caring a man can be when he loves someone.

"Those whose first baby is a girl can truly understand this feeling," a fourth stated, while a fifth appreciated the doctor saying, "Such a beautiful moment." I love the way you comfort him."

"The way he was getting scared to hold the baby for the first time and then held his breath while carrying the baby very carefully so that the baby doesn't wake up. Best moment ever," added a sixth. 

Tips for New Fathers Holding a Newborn

  • Support the head: Always support the baby's head and neck, as their muscles are still weak.
  • Keep the baby close: Holding the infant firmly against your chest makes them feel secure and safe.
  • Move slowly: Avoid any sudden or jerky movements. Moving with quiet confidence helps both you and the baby stay calm.
  • Involvement: Bonding often takes time. Starting with daily care activities like bathing or skin-to-skin contact from day one can help build your confidence.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
