Nvidia’s Jetson Thor Powers Robots

Nvidia is working on a powerful new computer called Jetson Thor. This device will help create robots that look and behave more like humans. The company is partnering with Siemens and Universal Robots to make this technology available.  

Tesla is also working on a humanoid robot called Optimus. It may start limited production by the end of 2025. However, it is still uncertain when these robots will become common in everyday life.  

In another development, new touch technology is improving accessibility for visually impaired people. Companies are creating devices that can display Braille text and graphics using touch. This could help blind individuals use smartphones and other digital tools more easily. These advancements may open up new opportunities in education and employment.

Why Do Old Songs Feel Better?

Why Do Old Songs Always Feel Better Than New Ones?

I’ve often wondered why the songs I’ve already heard before always feel better than the new ones. It’s not just me; I’ve seen this with almost everyone around me. No matter how many new songs come out, we always go back to the ones we’ve already listened to.  

There’s something about old songs that just hits differently. Maybe it's the memories attached to them or the fact that we’ve played them so many times that they feel like home. I can listen to Kishore Kumar’s "Mere Sapno Ki Rani" or Sonu Nigam’s "Ab Mujhe Raat Din" anytime, and they will still sound fresh. But when I try a new song, it takes time to connect with it.  

Even with today’s artists, I find myself going back to the ones I already know. I really like Anuv Jain’s songs like "Baarishein" and "Husn," and no matter how many times I hear them, they always feel better than most new releases. The same happens with English songs. Ed Sheeran’s "Perfect," The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights," or even Coldplay’s "Fix You" always feel more comforting than a brand-new song from the same artists.  

I think it’s just how our minds work. Familiarity makes things enjoyable, and music is no different. New songs might be good, but they need time to become a part of our memories. Until then, we keep going back to our old favorites.

Turning Struggles Into Strength

Life can feel hard when we think everything is a mess and worry too much. But I believe there’s always a way to make things better. I’ve learned a lot from my failures, and one thing stands out: every minute is a new chance to turn things around. 

The solution is simple—don’t stress yourself out, don’t stay stuck in worry, and don’t let depression take over. Just do your best in whatever you are trying to achieve. If it works out, celebrate it. If it doesn’t, still be happy because you gave it your best shot.

There are so many people out there living without a purpose or direction. If you’re struggling, it means you have a goal, a reason to keep going. And that alone is something to be proud of. Life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about trying, learning, and moving forward.

Global Warming in Pakistan

A Real Threat Felt Across Seasons

After spending over two years in Istanbul, I recently returned in January 2025. Over this time, I’ve noticed a disturbing shift in the seasons, something we’ve all felt but maybe don’t talk about enough. Last year, during the summer of 2024, I visited Pakistan. Summers in Pakistan are typically scorching, but that year it was different—unbearably hotter than usual. And now, returning to Istanbul this winter, the cold feels softer, almost muted. Winter seems less like winter.  

These personal experiences are just small parts of a much larger picture. The world is warming, and it’s not just a headline anymore—it’s something you feel in the air, under the sun, and even during the chill of winter. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2023 was one of the hottest years on record. Global temperatures have risen by approximately 1.1°C (2°F) since pre-industrial times. While this might seem like a small change, its effects are massive and growing.  

The Numbers Don’t Lie  

In 2024, Pakistan experienced an extreme heatwave, with temperatures soaring over 50°C (122°F) in some areas. This kind of heat is not just uncomfortable; it’s dangerous. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heatwaves now cause thousands of deaths annually, and the frequency of these extreme events has tripled over the past few decades.  

Meanwhile, Europe, including cities like Istanbul, has been experiencing milder winters. According to the European Environment Agency, winter temperatures in Europe have increased by 1.3°C (2.3°F) since the 1960s. Snowfall is decreasing, and ski seasons are getting shorter, impacting both the environment and industries reliant on winter tourism.  

What’s Behind the Shift?  

The primary driver of these changes is the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane in our atmosphere. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes have caused CO2 levels to surge by over 50% since 1750. This traps more heat, disrupts weather patterns, and accelerates the melting of polar ice caps, leading to rising sea levels and climate anomalies.  

Why It Matters  

These shifts aren’t just about discomfort. Hotter summers strain water supplies, disrupt agriculture, and increase the risk of wildfires. Warmer winters can affect ecosystems, leading to imbalances like early plant blooming or insect infestations. The impacts are interconnected and affect everyone.

What Can We Do?  

While governments and organizations are key players in tackling climate change, individuals have a role too. Reducing waste, using energy-efficient appliances, and cutting down on single-use plastics can make a difference. Advocacy also matters—demanding stronger climate policies and supporting sustainable businesses helps create larger-scale change.  

Returning to Istanbul this winter has made me realize that these changes are no longer abstract. They’re here, affecting the seasons, the air we breathe, and the world we leave behind for future generations. Global warming is real, and it’s up to all of us to do something about it—before it’s too late.

Money Over Morals: A Harsh Reality

In today’s world, people often judge others based on money instead of their character or actions. It’s sad to see how wealth has become more important than kindness, honesty, or good deeds. It feels like the true value of a person doesn’t matter anymore if they don’t have money.

Take marriage, for example. Love and understanding should be the most important things, but for many families, money matters more. Parents look at how rich a man is instead of whether he will care for and respect their daughter. If he can show off expensive gifts or a wealthy lifestyle, he is seen as a good match. It doesn’t matter if he’s kind or responsible. Marriage, which should be about love and partnership, has turned into a deal. It’s like buying and selling, which is heartbreaking.

The same thing happens in education. A good education should be about talent and hard work, but now it’s about money. Rich families can send their kids to the best schools, hire private tutors, and buy every advantage. Meanwhile, talented but poor children don’t get the same chances. And if you have enough money, you can even pay for a degree without studying much. The value of real learning is being replaced by shortcuts that only the rich can afford.

Healthcare is another sad example. If you’re rich, you can go to the best hospitals, get the best doctors, and afford expensive treatments. But if you’re poor, you have to wait in long lines, struggle in crowded hospitals, or worse, go without treatment. Many lives are lost simply because someone couldn’t pay for care. How is it fair that money decides who gets to live and who doesn’t?

This happens everywhere. People respect those with money, even if they’re rude or dishonest. But a poor person, no matter how good they are, is ignored. A rich man’s opinion is valued, while a poor man’s truth is dismissed. 

It’s not right. A person’s worth should come from their actions, not their wallet. Good deeds, honesty, and kindness should matter more than wealth. But now, it feels like being good isn’t enough. You need money to be respected, to be heard, or even to get basic dignity.

We are losing the real values that make us human. If we keep living like this, the world will become a place where money is all that matters, and humanity will be forgotten. It’s time to change. We need to respect people for who they are, not how much they own. Wealth can buy comfort, but it can never buy true respect or honor. Let’s not forget what really makes someone valuable.
