One of Ahmad Shah's first acts as chief was to adopt the title "Durr-i-Durrani" ("pearl of pearls" or "pearl of the age"), which may have come from a dream or from the pearl earrings worn by the royal guard of Nadir Shah.
Ahmad Shah also faced other rebellions in the north, and eventually he and the amir of Bukhara agreed that the Amu Darya would mark the division of their lands.

 Invasions Of Ahmad Shah Abdali
Ahmad Shah Abdali, while accompanying Nadir to India, had seen with his own eyes "the weakness of the Empire, the imbecility of the Emperor, the inattentiveness of the ministers, the spirit of independence which had crept among the grandees".
Ahmad Shah Abdali must have entertained the desire of establishing political authority over at least a part of India, though there were other motives, as Elphinstone points out, which led him to undertake these expeditions.
Ahmad Shah Abdali "retained hold of Peshawar and the country west of Attock, while he abandoned the Manjha districts and central Punjab including Lahore to the Sikhs; but the Sind-Sagar and Jech Doab in the western Punjab remained a debatable land which finally came into their possession in the days of his unworthy successors".

I think being a bike courier for Ahmad was more like being a kind of dancer, exercising and heightening his sensitivity to subtleties and soft changes of the city, of nature, of his environment.
Ahmad wanted to explore a more subtle palette based on the warmer tones of the acoustic guitar, a somewhat endangered instrument in modern music.
The outcome of Ahmad's combing and searching the strings is a music truly, in the original sense, digital, that is to say, of the fingers or digits.

 THE IRANIAN: Ahmad Shah, Manoutchehr Eskandari-Qajar
With the fall of Soltan Ahmad Shah and the rise of Reza Khan to the position of Shah, the authoritarian personality won out over the libertarian, but this victory was a pyrrhic one for the Persian psyche, for in giving in to the authoritarian in itself, it lost its libertarian soul in the process.
In both cases, Soltan Ahmad Shah refused because the price of accepting was too high for a man who was the legitimate constitutional monarch of his country who had lived his life as a staunch believer in the rule of law, not of force.
In all this, Soltan Ahmad Shah distinguishes himself from his two successors admirably and it is for this reason that I have cited these examples as worthy of consideration and admiration as the actions of an honorable man who wished to be the king of a prospering nation, but not at any price.
