In her post, she expressed her sadness over his death and how she is not ready to accept that he is gone. She said that she got to know him for 42 years only.

 
"That’s a long time. That’s not that long. When I reach into my memories of us to try to understand our relationship I remember our fights first. Screaming. Crying. Misunderstanding And then like a parallel universe. Simultaneously I remember the way you would pat my hand and say 'aww' to remind me to be gentler. To remind me that I was nicer than that thing I said," said &nbsp;Pink.&nbsp;

Also read: Sir Elton John tops music charts after a long wait of 16 years In her post, she expressed her sadness over his death and how she is not ready to accept that he is gone. She said that she got to know him for 42 years only. "That’s a long time. That’s not that long. When I reach into my memories of us to try to understand our relationship I remember our fights first. Screaming. Crying. Misunderstanding And then like a parallel universe. Simultaneously I remember the way you would pat my hand and say 'aww' to remind me to be gentler. To remind me that I was nicer than that thing I said," said Pink.

I wanna still act like this is one of those times that I’m busy and not calling. I can’t feel this yet," she added.

And therefore I don’t know where I am either. Anyways. Happy birthday Daddy Sir. Gone but not forgotten. I won’t miss you yet. I’m not ready," read the later part of her post. Jim Moore died in August after battling prostate cancer for a while. In July of 2020, the singer revealed that Moore had undergone his second round of chemotherapy for the deadly disease.

Criticising President Joe Bident's hasty military withdrawal from Afghanistan, former US national security advisor John Bolton has said that the Taliban may obtain nuclear weapons from Pakistan.

Criticising President Joe Bident's hasty military withdrawal from Afghanistan, former US national security advisor John Bolton has said that the Taliban may obtain nuclear weapons from Pakistan. Bolton, who served under the then-president Donald Trump, said the abrupt US troops withdrawal allowed the Taliban to rapidly take over and bring the country once again under their control. In recent times, Bolton has been a vocal critic of American foreign policy. In other news, the White House faced a backlash from a section of US media over Biden's remark that 'Indian media is better behaved than the US'. Pacifying the riled scribes, Press Secretary Jen Psaki sought to clarify that Biden's words weren't meant as a 'hard cut' on them. In Covid related news, infection rate seems to be ebbing in India after it registered only 18,795 cases, its lowest in six months. Taliban may obtain nuclear weapons from Pakistan, says former US national security advisor John Bolton Bolton added it was possible that nuclear weapons could be obtained from Pakistan should Islamist insurgents get hold of them. However, he also complimented Biden for the nuclear submarine deal with Australia. He says the deal is a way to counter China threat. US is only giving nuclear submarines. "These are what we call hunter-killer submarines," Bolton explained. 'Indian media is 'better behaved' than the US': White House defends Biden's statement Joe Biden lauded the Indian media, calling it "better behaved" than the US media, during his first in-person bilateral meeting with PM Modi at the White House, criticising American reporters for asking questions that are not "on topic" in front of a foreign head of government/state. Failed TikTok deal 'strangest thing I've worked on', says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Microsoft tried to acquire TikTok in 2020 after then US President Donald Trump ordered TikTok to separate its US version from its Chinese paraent over data security concerns. The talks failed and the deal could not go through. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spoke about this at Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California. UK Royal Mint launches gold bar featuring Lakshmi, Hindu Goddess of wealth UK Royal Mint says that the gold bar with Goddess Lakshmi is 'an auspicious gift which unites British minting excellence and time-honoured traditions'. Indians in UK are likely to buy the gold bar during traditional gold purchase done during Diwali. The gold bar weighs 20 g and is made up of 999.9 fine gold.
