Alongside her medical profession, Tabish has carved a niche for herself as a self-taught artist with a penchant for transforming unconventional materials into breathtaking masterpieces.

Tabish's artistic journey began during her childhood, where she found solace and joy in creating art pieces on waste materials such as Chinar leaves, feathers, stones, and discarded items. Her belief that nothing is useless drove her to turn these materials into beautiful artworks, defying conventional norms of painting. Gradually, her hobby evolved into a passion, and in 2016, she decided to share her unique creations on social media during the turbulent Kashmir Unrest.

To her surprise, Tabish's art received overwhelming appreciation and support from the community, motivating her to delve deeper into her passion. Despite the challenges posed by communication blockades and limited platforms for artists in the region, she managed to excel in every art competition she participated in, although her ongoing medical education prevented her from taking part in significant events.

Tabish's ability to balance her medical profession with her passion for art is a testament to her dedication and perseverance. Painting serves as a stress reliever for her during intense study sessions, reinforcing her belief in the power of art to soothe the mind and soul.

Her exceptional talent and creativity have not gone unnoticed. Tabish has been recognized with various prestigious awards, including the Women Empowerment Award presented by DC Anantnag on Women's Day in 2021, the Kashmir Icon Excellence Award, and accolades from India Book of Records, Asia Book of Records, and the IWR Foundation Award.

Speaking about her journey, Tabish expressed her determination to continue pursuing her passion under all circumstances. She attributes her success to her unwavering family support, especially from her father, who has been a constant source of motivation.

Tabish's story serves as an inspiration to the youth, particularly in Kashmir, encouraging them to pursue their passions and have faith in their abilities. She believes that empowering oneself through meaningful pursuits is more rewarding than wasting time on futile exercises.

As she continues her career as a doctor, Tabish Khan's innovative approach to art and her ability to turn waste materials into awe-inspiring artworks stand as a testament to her infinite capacity for creativity. Her achievements and dedication emphasize the importance of hard work and self-confidence in achieving success.

Tabish Khan's story echoes the sentiment of Leonardo da Vinci's famous words, "Art is the queen of all sciences, communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world." She has combined her medical expertise with the language of art, breaking barriers and creating an impact that transcends boundaries.

Taiwan 'Will Not Yield an Inch' of Land, Lai Says

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te on Friday said that Taiwan would not give up an inch of its territory as he visited the Kinmen islands off the coast of China. Lai was speaking at an event marking the 75th anniversary of the victory over communist forces in the Battle of Guningtou that saw the Kinmen and the Matsu islands fall under the control of Taiwan. What Taiwan's president said "(We) will not yield an inch of ground in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu to firmly defend our homeland," Lai said during an address in which he referred to the islands controlled by Taipei. "The Battle of Guningtou lets us understand that democracy and freedom should not be taken for granted, but require the joint efforts of generations to defend them," Lai said. Lai did not name China by name but said that "any external forces" would not be allowed to change the future of the islands. Taiwan's leader told veterans and family members that the October 1949 Battle of Guningtou "represents our determination to protect our country." China sees democratic Taiwan as its territory and maintains that the use of force to bring the island under its control is not off the table. The Kinmen and Matsu islands The Kinmen and Matsu islands lie close to China's coast but are under the control of Taipei. They've been under the control of Taiwan since the defeated Republic of China government fled to Taipei in 1949 after losing a civil war with Mao Zedong's communists. The Kinmen battle was a rare victory for Chiang Kai-shek's forces in the closing days of China's civil war. Kinmen is home to a large Taiwanese military garrison and Taiwan's coast guard patrols its waters. China conducted military exercises around Taiwan earlier this month which it said were a warning to "separatist acts."

19 Killed in Passenger Bus Accident in Mexico

At least 19 people have died in a passenger bus accident in Mexico. The accident occurred on Saturday, October 26, on a highway in the central state of Zacatecas. According to a CNN report, a tractor-trailer carrying corn crashed into the rear of the bus, causing it to lose control and plunge off the road.

Tropical Storm Trami Claims 126 Lives, Hundreds Missing in Philippines

Tropical storm Trami has caused severe flooding and landslides in Philippines, leaving at least 126 people dead or missing, according to the government's disaster-response agency. President Ferdinand Marcos said on Saturday that many areas remain isolated, and people are in urgent need of rescue. Trami, also known as Kristine, exited the northwestern Philippines on Friday, resulting in at least 85 deaths and 41 missing persons, making it one of the deadliest storms of the year in the region, according to the government agency. The death toll is expected to rise as more reports emerge from previously inaccessible areas. Emergency personnel, including police and firefighters, are using backhoes and sniffer dogs to continue search and rescue efforts in the lakeside town of Talisay in Batangas province. In the town center, more than a dozen coffins bearing the remains of storm victims were lined up. These victims were discovered amidst mud, boulders, and trees from landslides. President Ferdinand Marcos, who inspected another hard-hit region southeast of Manila Saturday, said the unusually large volume of rainfall dumped by the storm — including in some areas that saw one to two months’ worth of rainfall in just 24 hours — overwhelmed flood controls in provinces lashed by Trami. "The water was just too much,” Marcos told reporters. “We’re not done yet with our rescue work,” he said. “Our problem here is, there are still many areas that remain flooded and cannot be accessed even by big trucks." His administration, Marcos said, would plan to start work on a major flood control project that can meet the unprecedented threats posed by climate change. More than 5 million people were in the path of the storm, including nearly half a million who mostly fled to more than 6,300 emergency shelters in several provinces, the government agency said. In an emergency Cabinet meeting, Marcos raised concerns over reports by government forecasters that the storm — the 11th to hit the Philippines this year — could make a U-turn next week as it is pushed back by high-pressure winds in the South China Sea. The storm was forecast to batter Vietnam over the weekend if it would not veer off course. To ensure public safety, the Philippine government closed schools and offices on Friday, and suspended inter-island ferry services, stranding thousands. As weather conditions cleared on Saturday, cleanup operations began in many areas. The Philippines, situated between the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, experiences around 20 storms and typhoons annually. In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan left over 7,300 people dead or missing and devastated entire communities.

China Vows Countermeasures after US Arms Sale to Taiwan

Beijing vowed to take "all necessary measures" to assert its sovereignty over Taiwan after the latest round of US arms sales to the self-ruled island which China claims as its own. The US State Department on Friday approved a $2 billion (€1.85 billion) arms sale package for Taiwan which includes surface-to-air missile systems and radar. China vows countermeasures over Taiwan arms deal The latest arms package "seriously violates China's sovereignty and security interests, seriously damages China-US relations and endangers peace and stability" in the strait, Beijing's foreign ministry said in a statement late Saturday. "China strongly condemns and firmly opposes it, and has lodged solemn representations with the US," a ministry spokesperson said. The ministry called on the US to immediately stop arming Taiwan. It added that Beijing would "take resolute countermeasures and take all necessary measuresto firmly defend national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity." China has previously refused to rule out using force to bring Taiwan under its control. Taiwan welcomes $2 billion arms deal While the deal still has to be approved by Congress, Taipei's Defense Ministry on Saturday said it would "help the military continue to improve its defense resilience and jointly maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait." Although the US does not maintain formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, it is obliged by law to provide the island with the means to defend itself from a Chinese attack. Under the Biden administration alone, there have been 17 arms sales to Taiwan. "In the face of China's threats, Taiwan is duty-bound to protect its homeland, and will continue to demonstrate its determination to defend itself," the Tawainese Defense Ministry said. Earlier in October, Taiwan said it detected 153 Chinese military aircraft and 14 navy ships around the island — which the defense ministry called a single-day record — as China conducted a major war drill. Beijing said the exercise should serve as a warning against "separatist acts."
