White House envoys arrived in Israel today for talks on shoring up the Gaza truce following weekend hostilities that threatened to derail the deal.

Centrist Senator Rodrigo Paz won BOLIVIA’s runoff presidential election yesterday, ending almost twenty years of continued rule by the leftist Socialism party. He won around 54 percent of votes to his conservative opponent Jorge Quiroga’s 45 percent, preliminary results showed. Paz plans to gradually implement pro-market reforms to ameliorate Bolivia’s deep economic crisis.

Afghanistan-Pakistan truce: The countries agreed yesterday to an immediate ceasefire along their border following talks in Doha mediated by Qatar and Turkey.

U.S.-Colombia tensions: Trump said yesterday he would cut U.S. aid to Colombia and apply new tariffs after Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused the United States of killing a Colombian fisherman in an airstrike. The White House alleged the targeted boat was carrying illegal drugs; neither claim has been independently confirmed.

Trump declined to commit to providing Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles during a White House meeting Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Zelenskyy said. He added that Trump’s support of freezing the conflict along its current front lines “is positive” for Ukraine and that Trump “does not want an escalation” until he meets with Russian officials.

Countries on Friday postponed for one year a vote on a plan to decarbonize the shipping industry following opposition from the Trump administration. The International Maritime Organization’s proposed carbon price would have been one of the most sweeping policies to reduce global emissions.

Thousands of Kenyans attended the funeral of opposition leader Raila Odinga yesterday as political leaders at home and abroad paid tribute to him.

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons.

No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A.

  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas.

  RISHI,MUNI,SADHU,GURU SADHAK,SANNYASI,YOGI SARASIJ MAJUMDUR In our country, all the persons listed above are not generally differentiated much, by us. Writers also, somewhat loosely used the nomenclatures in their writings. Though they have many commonalities, each one   of them is different, in their PRACTICE,   PURPOSE OF LIFE, AND LEADING   THE LIFE.   We will discuss about them, with the basic differences, in short. The one thing common about them is- that all of them are ‘Spiritual Persons’, and carry the higher form of ‘Sanatan Dharma’, or ‘Hinduism’—as we may understand easily. 1.0   RISHI: He is connected to, and composer of   VEDA, Vedanga, Vedanta--or Knowledge. There are a few higher stratas as well e.g. MAHARSHI (KANWA), RAJARSHI (King Janaka), DEBARSHI (NARODA),   ‘SHRUTORSHI’—who learned, and remember VEDAS by hearing, e.g. Vasishta; or only ‘Rishi’-e.g. Gautama.   There are 18 ‘VEDABYASAS’—and all are ‘MAHARSHIS’. ...
