Suhaila says, “Ayesha Durrani was born in 1150 AH in Kabul city and is one of the Dari language poets. She was the daughter of Yaqub Ali Khan Toopchi Bashi, one of the elders of Timur Shah Durani’s Castle.

One day when Timur Shah returned from war, Aisha composed a poem describing Kabul. she was caressed and encouraged by Timur Shah. Ayesha Durani had studied at home and tried to improve her level of knowledge by using the available facilities.

Ayesha was interested in Hafez Shirazi's poems. She had left a collection that has three thousand poems. She has written poetry in all forms and her poetic life is divided into three periods; poems that belong to his youth are emotional.

Her middle-aged poems are mystical and Sufi. And the poems of her old age are mostly about the death of her son and all are elegies.”

Ayesha Durrani died in Kabul in 1232 and was buried in Onchi Baghbanan, Kabul city. A girls' high school is also named after her.

A Swedish company wants to use the intelligence of black crows to solve the problem of collecting cigarette filters on the streets. According to the British newspaper The Guardian, a team from Corvid Cleaning is training crows to collect cigarette filters from the streets.

The company has developed a device that feeds crows with peanuts after delivering the filters. According to the information provided by Kristin Gunter Hansen, the director of the company, this method reduces the cost of road waste by up to 75%.

According to the Guardian, "Keep Sweden clean" estimates that over one billion cigarette butts are dumped on Swedish streets each year, 62% of the country's total street wastes.

Approximately € 2 million is spent annually on street cleaning in the town of Södertälje, southwest of Stockholm alone.”
