وسواسی عارضہ (OCD) — دماغ کیسے وسوسوں کو عادت بنا لیتا ہے؟ OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) محض صفائی یا بار بار چیزیں چیک کرنے کا مسئلہ نہیں۔ یہ دراصل دماغ کا ایک سیکھا ہوا خوفی نظام (Learned Fear Cycle) ہوتا ہے، جس میں وسوسہ (Obsession) اور مجبوری کا عمل (Compulsion) ایک دوسرے کو طاقت دیتے رہتے ہیں۔ Obsessions کیا ہوتے ہیں؟ (وسواسی خیالات) Obsessions وہ بار بار آنے والے خیالات، تصاویر یا خدشات ہوتے ہیں جو: خود بخود آتے ہیں انسان کو ناپسند ہوتے ہیں شدید بے چینی (Anxiety) پیدا کرتے ہیں مثالیں: “اگر میرے ہاتھوں پر جراثیم ہیں تو میں کسی کو بیمار کر دوں گا؟” “اگر میں نے دروازہ ٹھیک سے لاک نہیں کیا تو کچھ برا ہو جائے گا؟” “اگر میرے ذہن میں یہ خیال آ رہا ہے تو کہیں میں واقعی برا انسان تو نہیں؟” ----- اہم بات : ------ یہ خیالات ہر انسان کے ذہن میں آ سکتے ہیں، فرق صرف یہ ہے کہ OCD میں دماغ ان خیالات کو خطرہ (Threat) سمجھ لیتا ہے۔ Compulsions کیا ہوتے ہیں؟ (مجبوری کے اعمال) Compulsions وہ اعمال یا ذہنی حرکتیں ہوتی ہیں جو انسان صرف اس لیے کرتا ہے تاکہ وسوسے سے پیدا ہونے والی بے چینی کم ہو ج...

  American Democracy Versus Chinese Governance : The Ultimate Contest U.S. democracy is viewed as failing, while Chinese governance is seen as succeeding. And while Trump’s presidency may be a symptom of that trend, it’s not the cause. | By Kishore Mahbubani | The largest geopolitical contest ever seen in human history – the China-U.S. contest – will accelerate and gain momentum in the coming decades. As I documented in my book “Has China Won?” this contest is driven by deep structural forces. American and Chinese presidents may come and go, but the contest will continue – of this, there’s no doubt. What is doubtful is who will win: China or the United States? There’s also no doubt about the critical factor that will determine the outcome of this contest. This was best spelled out by George Kennan way back in 1947 when he was advising his fellow Americans what would ultimately determine the outcome of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. He said that for the...

  Iran prepared for ‘fair’ talks with US but not on defence capabilities, FM Araghchi says, Reuters Published January 30, 2026 Updated about 2 hours ago, Iran is prepared for the resumption of talks with the United States, but they should be fair and not include Iran’s defence capabilities, Iran’s chief diplomat said on Friday, as regional powers work to prevent military conflict between the two foes. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he planned to speak with Iran, even as the US sent another warship to the Middle East and the Pentagon chief said the military would be ready to carry out whatever the president decided. One of the main demands by the US to resume talks with Iran is curbing its missile programme, a senior Iranian official told Reuters last week. Iran rejects that demand. “If negotiations are fair and equitable, Iran is ready to participate in such talks,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a press conference with his Turkish counterpart in Istanbul.

Trump says ‘hopefully’ no need for military action against Iran, AFP Published January 30, 2026 .. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he hoped to avoid military action against Iran, which has threatened to strike American bases and aircraft carriers in response to any attack. Trump said he is speaking with Iran and left open the possibility of avoiding a military operation after earlier warning that time was “running out” for Tehran as the United States sends a large naval fleet to the region. When asked if he would have talks with Iran, Trump told reporters: “I have had and I am planning on it.” “We have a group headed out to a place called Iran, and hopefully we won’t have to use it,” the US president added, while speaking to media at the premiere of a documentary about his wife Melania. As Brussels and Washington dialled up their rhetoric and Iran issued stark threats this week, UN chief Antonio Guterres has called for nuclear negotiations to “avoid a crisis that could have ...

quaimyawaz.com Published : 13 Jun 2025, دوستی کسے کہتے ہیں اور سوشل میڈیا نے اس پر کیا اثرات مرتب کیے؟ اگر آپ سے پوچھا جائے کہ کیا سوشل میڈیا نے دوستی کا معیار تباہ کر دیا ہے تو ممکنہ طور پر فوری جواب اثبات میں ہو گا۔ لیکن کیا واقعی ایسا ہے یا یہ نتیجہ جلد بازی میں اخذ کردہ ہے؟ ماضی سے شدید وابستگی اور نئے تقاضوں سے ہم آہنگ ہونے کی دشواریاں اکثر اوقات ایسے ردعمل پر مجبور کرتی ہیں جس کی بنیاد تجزیے کے بجائے جذبات پر استوار ہوتی ہے۔ جب سوشل میڈیا کے دوستی پر اثرات کی بات کی جائے تو بیشتر صورتوں میں یہی جذباتی ردعمل دیکھنے کو ملتا ہے۔ آج ہمیں خط لکھنے کا زمانہ بہت سچا محسوس ہوتا ہے لیکن ہزاروں برس قبل سقراط کے لیے گفتگو کی نسبت ”لکھا ہوا حرف" غیر معتبر تھا۔ اب سوشل میڈیا کی دوستیاں ”جعلی" ہیں تو اُس وقت خط لکھنے والے بھی کمزور بندھن میں بندھے تھے۔ ٹیلی فون کا زمانہ مختصر ہونے کے سبب بھرپور قسم کا ناسٹیلجیا نہ بن سکا۔ آج سے سینکڑوں سال بعد سوشل میڈیا کی حیثیت جو ہو گی سو گی۔ فی الحال ہمیں اس کے دوستی پر اثرات کا جائزہ لینا ہے۔ تو کیا خیال ہے پہلے یہ جاننے کی کوشش نہ کی جائے کہ دو...

From increased strength to improved memory, the surprising benefits of standing on one leg David Cox January 24, 2026, 09:38 PKT Unless you're a flamingo, standing on one leg isn't something you're likely to spend a lot of time doing. Balancing on one leg isn't usually too difficult when we're young. Our ability to hold this pose usually matures by the age of nine to 10. Then our balance peaks in our late 30s before falling off. If you're over 50, your ability to balance on one leg for more than a few seconds can reveal surprising things about your overall health and your aging process. But there are also some good reasons why you might want to stand on one leg for a while. It can provide many benefits to your body and mind, such as helping to reduce the risk of falls, increasing your strength,...
