Here’s How the Internet has Helped the Youth to Express Themselves!

Once upon a time, people were hesitant to show their true feelings or who they were on the inside, but then they discovered a wonderful space where they could shine the spotlight on their individual selves and be celebrated for it.

This magical place is called the INTERNET. The only space where you can be a loud and proud and still gain the craziest admiration from people around the world…

To look at it in a rather different perspective, the digital world has given us Pakistanis the true liberty of expression. Its popularity in our country has taken many forms, the biggest examples being the “Eye to Eye” that made us cry or laugh or whatever, Arshad Khan, the blue eyed chai wala, who made his way to every Facebook page and the garwi wali Justin Bieber sisters. All these gems came into light through the digital world, social networks and more precisely the internet.

Let’s just take a moment and think about the reason behind it, how did these things evolve? Why are they being accepted now or to rephrase, these examples have become norms? It’s about acceptance, freedom, and self-exposure.

In our country, very few enterprises openly support such a bold stance, and djuice is one of them. djuice is an iconic network which supported these digital revolutionists since its initiation. Through commercials, slogans, short films and advertising content,

Through commercials, slogans, short films and advertising content, djuice has always chosen the path to connect with their customers on a different level, a level of comfort, acceptance, and exploration. djuice wants to ensure the provision of platforms where the youth can unveil their talents and we all await what they have in store for us.

Similarly, their recent campaign for Independence Day has challenged norms and begged the question to be answered kia #AzaadHainHum? Embodying the spirit of expressing freedom and individuality, djuice encourages the youth of Pakistan to use the internet to be Azaad and express, indulge, share and celebrate themselves.

The campaign has created quite a stir on digital but the Azaadi anthem beats in the hearts of the youth of Pakistan and motivates them to come to the internet and express themselves.

Baaghi Drama on Urdu1 Review: Fauzia Gets Hitched to Her Dream Guy!

Episode 4 has taken a new turn in the life of Fauzia aka Qandeel Baloch. In the previous episode, we saw Fauzia’s marriage getting fixed with Sajid without her consent.

This episode reveals how Fauzia cleverly not only saved herself from marrying Sajid but also made sure that her parents agree to Abid’s proposal.

Fauzia tells her best friend that she has a plan up her sleeves. And that she is staunch about her decision of not marrying her sister in law’s brother.

She gets blamed for giving rebellious ideas to her sister.

However, everything goes according to her plan which not only boils her brother’s mind even more but also brings the issue in front of the Chaudhary of the village.

Knowing her ultimate fate, we tried not to hope for a better future for her however, Saba Qamar’s acting makes us feel inclined to do so.

The preview of the next episode shows that Fauzia finally got what she wanted, however at a huge cost.

The fate of Qandeel Baloch is similar to the other oppressed women of Pakistan. We hope that this male chauvinism and narrow-minded thinking changes in future.

We can’t wait to watch what happens next on Baaghi. The story so far has been interesting with a riveting performance from the one and only Saba Qamar.

Shoaib Akhtar is all Praises for this Bollywood Khan!

Our ‘Rawalpindi Express’ mastermind, Shoaib Akhtar who had made his debut with Kolkata Knight Riders against Dehli Daredevils. He won ‘Man of the Match’ for defending a low-total of just 133 runs.

While having a throw-back moment, the former Pakistani cricketer shared a picture of him in the KKR jersey celebrating their victory with none other than Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan!

The caption read as;

Fond memory with a super star, a friend, and the most humble man @iamsrk #ShahRukhKhan #SRK #T20,”

Pakola’s Independence Day Packaging Sparks a Debate on Social Media!

Pakistan’s favourite drink, Pakola celebrated the 70th Independence Day for the nation in a unique way this time. Pakola is synonymous with Pakistan, the green coloured fizzy drink is loved by all and some may agree that it could be known as the national drink as well!

The colourful cans paying tribute to the father of the nation, ‘Quaid-E-Azam’ and Pakistani truck art have been appreciated by some while others have raised concerns resulting in a debate over social media.

Here’s what the Independence Day Cans look like!

The ongoing debate raises a concern on the packaging of the Pakola cans, what is going to happen to these cans after they serve their purpose? Are people going to throw them away?

The soda can with Quaid-e-Azam’s picture printed on it cannot be disposed off as it would be a sign of disrespect.

However, this is not the first time brands have celebrated national heroes in such a way, a recent campaign led by Coke had the late Edhi Sahab’s portrait printed on coca-cola bottles. Known as limited collection items, these bottles and cans are supposed to be kept as souvenirs later on.

Pakola’s Packaging concept was appreciated by Marketing enthusiasts on!

Apparently, they’ve broadcasted the forthcoming 6th episode of Season 7, 4 days prior to the original airing date.

But not before it was ripped and shared online!

Talking about the episode which consists of Jon Snow’s dramatic confrontation with the Night King and his White Walkers, some fans on twitter admitted that it is one of the most dramatic installments of GOT till date.

Someone said ‘Just saw the Game of Thrones leak. I won’t say anything except someone on my timeline called that happening 2 weeks ago & he was laughed at!


Another said: ‘Yes my episode 6 is ruined, though I knew it, I read a leak at the start of the season, but watching the scene actually destroys it.’

Looks like someone will get into major trouble for this yet again!

WE HAVE HAD OUR SECURITY EXPERTS VISIT AND MAKE AN ASSESSMENT; THINGS LOOK POSITIVE WITH IMPROVEMENT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND ESPECIALLY WITH LAHORE BEING CLEARED.

WE HAVE THREE T20 GAMES COMING UP AGAINST PAKISTAN IN SEPTEMBER AND WE WOULD LIKE TO PLAY AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE GAMES IN LAHORE.

The newly appointed PCB chairman, Najam Sethi said that he is appreciative for the choice made by Sumathipala to help Pakistan’s endeavours to take international cricket back to the nation.
