Beijing’s Parade Leaves Trump Rattled in Global Optics Game
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation gathering in Tianjin wasn’t just a diplomatic meeting. It played out like stagecraft, with every handshake, smile, and fighter jet roar designed for effect.

Impact of Climate Change on Flood Frequency in Pakistan
A river that doesn’t forgive easily I grew up in Punjab, where the Indus and its branches shape life.
