If you’re looking to spice up your Netflix choices, look no further than these perfectly disturbing movies that will leave you disoriented for days!

1. Birdbox

‘Bird Box’ is Netflix’s original in which demonic beings have invaded Earth. They take the shape of a person’s worst fear, driving them to insanity and eventual suicide. The film features Sandra Bullock, showing her during the apocalypse of sorts and after.

2. I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in The House

This is a horror film in which a writer and her caretaker are shown to keep experiencing supernatural forces in their house. The author in question, Iris Blum, has chronic dementia, so a caretaker has been appointed.

Lily, however, begins noticing shadowy figures of a woman in the house and starts panicking. Over time, the division between fantasy and reality blurs in her eyes as the film becomes more disturbing.

3. Gerald’s Game

Gerald’s Game is a psychological horror based on Stephen King’s novel— you should already know this will be disturbing. It starts on a harmless note when a couple escapes to a remote lake house to spend time. However, the plot takes a turn for the worst when the husband dies unexpectedly, and the wife is left handcuffed to the bed frame.

Jessie then meets demons inside the house or her mind as they start tormenting her while she cannot move.

4. Hush

Another horror film about an author! Maddie Young loses her hearing ability as a teenager, and she moves to a secluded house to write. She lives in utter isolation away from the noise and hassle of society. However, that break doesn’t last long as she unearths a masked killer outside her house. She’s unable to call for help; will she outsmart him?

5. The Platform

This Spanish sci-fi horror depicts the story of a multi-storied correctional facility where two inmates are kept on every floor. Food is sent through an elevator-like platform for a few minutes, and inmates can eat whatever they want.

But they can not save anything for later or jump on the platform to escape. If they do, the prison authorities will either boil or freeze them to death by manipulating the cell’s temperature. The film shows how the protagonist tries to change the system through violence. Will he succeed?

Do You Think You Have Toilet Manners? You May Be Wrong

On World Toilet Day, let’s take some time out to acknowledge all the manners we don’t have. Using the toilet does not come without its proper etiquettes and you need to understand we’re constantly breaking them all the time. For your next visit to the ‘john’ to be better, here’s what you need to know is going wrong:

1. Keep The Seat Down

Leaving the seat up is always a bad idea! There may be many memes about women and men fighting over where the seat stays but that’s because women are better at manners! Do not leave the seat up in your home or public washrooms.

2. Leaving Droplets On The Seat

Another common occurrence is leaving droplets (yes, water ones), on the seat after you’re done using. It’s considered harmless because people think it’s water! What could go wrong? But it’s not as simple as that. You need to wipe the seat clean always for the next user.

3. Keep Flushing

There are those who believe less flushing means saving the environment and the water. But what about those people who you’re going to kill with the smell and the germs? There’s something known as a ‘courtesy flush’ that you do while you’re dumping your load. Follow it!

4. Not Replacing Toilet Paper

If you’ve ever used a washroom where you finished the toilet paper, you should know that it’s incumbent on you to replace it! Simply ask the house owners where they keep their stash or inform the cleaners in a public place.

5. Banging On Locked Stalls

Do we still don’t know what to say when someone knocks on the washroom and you’re sitting inside? Yes, unfortunately. So in that case, if you see a door closed gently push on it. If it doesn’t open, it’s occupied and you need to move on. Don’t start banging down the door.

6. Taking Too Much Time On The Sink

Your job? Wash your hands properly at the sink and then get aside. If you have hair or clothes to fix the best thing is to step back so that those who have to wash their hands can get done. Don’t keep hogging the space.

7. Leaving Dirty Toilet Paper

We often cover the seat using toilet paper or use toilet paper as a covering to hold the knobs or the shower. In that case, discard that toilet paper responsibly. Don’t leave it everywhere in the washroom!

Know anyone who needs to be taught toilet manners? Tag them in the comments.

The Leading Bookkeeping Apps in Asia

By

Jan 14, 2022

This article is submitted by Mariam Ali.

Bookkeeping is the activity of keeping a record of the financial transactions of a business. Traditionally, this was done through pen and paper, and shop-owners would maintain several books and reconcile them manually at the end of each month. Now, there are apps and softwares that can help do this much faster, and much more conveniently. However, there are still a number of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME’s) in Asia that rely on the traditional pen and paper method of bookkeeping.

To solve this, several startups have jumped into the space, and designed apps that are very simple and easy to understand, and can help transform the way transactions are recorded in these small businesses. They help reduce the errors in bookkeeping, save time in reconciliation, and help users make better decisions. The following are some of the leading bookkeeping apps in Asia:

Khatabook (India):

Khatabook, the simple bookkeeping app in India has raised a total funding amount of $186.5M and operates in over 4000 cities across India. It operates on the vision of digitizing the small shops in the country by providing a simple cash management app that sends free payment reminders through SMS or WhatsApp when payment is due. Moreover, it has an additional feature of collecting payments directly through the app through QR-enabled payments with a 0% fee. Currently, Khatabook does not have a revenue source, but they have a userbase of more than 50M merchants managing shops and businesses through this app, in 95% of Indian districts.

Khatabook aims to help all types of businesses keep track of their financial transactions and credit histories and enable them to accept payments online in all parts of the country, and hence offers the app in 13 Indian languages, catering to a diverse audience in the country, along with providing 24/7 multi-lingual customer support service. Lastly, the app provides complete safety and security of data, along with automatic data backup so that if the user loses their phone, the data remains safe through the automated backups. Khatabook enables MSMEs to digitize their accounting and credit transaction records and helps them grow their businesses.

OkCredit (India):

OkCredit, founded in 2017, is another bookkeeping app in India that has raised funding of $84.9 million. The product is similar to Khatabook, where they offer collection reminders, data backup, multi-language support, and the ability to generate reports and account statements for your business on your device anytime. What differentiates the two apps is that in Khatabook, there is the additional feature of making multiple digital

books, called ‘Khatabooks’ to manage multiple businesses and accept online payments directly to bank accounts. On the other hand, the unique selling proposition for OkCredit is the simplicity of their app, which enables efficiency and convenience to retailers who have been used to maintaining traditional ledgers for years and are hesitant to make the shift. The OkCredit app also allows the customers to view the amount they owe to a specific merchant through a webpage link that shows the history of credit transactions between the customer and the merchant. This increases trust and makes the entire process more transparent. OkCredit currently has over 10 million downloads, 5.5 million active daily users, and operates in over 2,800 cities. They are rapidly growing into all parts of the country, and with India going through mass digitization, they have a high potential to grow further.

Bukuwarung (Indonesia):

Bukuwarung is a bookkeeping app that is focused on Indonesia and has raised $80M in funding. It was founded in 2019 by two Indian entrepreneurs and has been rapidly growing to provide services across accounting, commerce, and payments. These include bookkeeping, digital payments, inventory management, bulk transactions, and an e-commerce platform to help retailers digitize their operations. Through these services, Bukuwarung aims to accelerate the growth of small businesses and allow them to have an organized method of cash management that could minimize accounting errors, and also allow them to have greater financial inclusion by having access to bank credits, which was previously not possible due to their disorganized financial records.

Unlike Khatabook and OkCredit, Bukuwarung has a revenue source, and they start charging merchants once they cross a certain number of payments, and also make money through the financial services that they provide. As a result, due to a large number of their users and payments volumes, they have been able to make enough revenues to sustain the business, and over 90% of the funding they raised is yet to be used. They aim to use this in growing their platform to offer an even greater amount of services in the future.

Bukukas (Indonesia):

Bukukas, with a funding amount of $69 million, is another bookkeeping app based in Indonesia, that is growing rapidly. They have included other services, like online payments and an e-commerce platform to the app, to provide more value to its users. Bukukas currently has over 6.3 million businesses on the platform, with around 3 million monthly active users. They provide the option of sending WhatsApp reminders, with a payment link that allows customers to pay immediately, improving the recovery time of the credited amount. Bukukas also offers inventory management, invoicing, and data-based decisions by allowing merchants to record sales, expenses, and cash transactions in the app, and then identifying top-selling items, expense categories, and alerting them when something needs to be sourced. Moreover, through this data, it provides automatic calculation of profits and debit-credit records to help businesses maintain proper accounting records and grow. This helps merchants in not only bookkeeping but also other aspects of the business.

mKhata (Pakistan):

mKhata, a bookkeeping app in Pakistan with an undisclosed amount of funding has over 100,000 installs, and more than 30,000 active users managing their businesses through the app. With Pakistan having a retail market of around $152 billion, there is a huge potential for bookkeeping apps to step in and change the way these merchants are recording their transactions, especially post-covid where people are more open to a technology shift. MKhata aims to digitize the bookkeeping process for all businesses, and hence the app is offered in both English & Urdu and is made very simple to understand. The app offers automated collection reminders, free SMS transaction alerts, detailed reports, and online backups, helping users in reducing errors, making data-based decisions, and using time more efficiently. Moreover, when a transaction is entered by a merchant in the app, it also automatically reflects on the customer’s app, along with a free SMS, enabling complete transparency and trust. Currently, over 70% of Pakistan’s economy is undocumented, and mKhata is working towards decreasing this gap and enabling better financial inclusion.

Lista (Philippines):

Lista is a bookkeeping app in the Philippines that has raised an undisclosed amount of funding. It caters to MSMEs in the country and provides tools to help these businesses manage their credit transactions, and thus enabling financial inclusion. The services provided by Lista include tracking debts, recording transactions, and generating and issuing invoices. Since around 99.51% of business establishments in the Philippines come from MSMEs, there is a huge market for the digitization of the traditional bookkeeping approach. With this app, Lista provides merchants with a free and secure way of going digital and keeping a record of their transactions. The app aims to use the funding from their pre-seed round to grow bigger and help digitize more businesses in the Philippines.

Vyapar (India):

Vyapar, an app-based in India that has raised $5M in funding also offers bookkeeping, and other services around billing, inventory, and accounting to merchants in India. Through the app, you can send reminders through SMS, WhatsApp, or emails for faster recoveries of lent amount, and also make GST bills and share them with customers. In addition, Vyapar also offers inventory management to help merchants grow their businesses. The app was launched in 2016 and have been working on their vision of digitizing the MSMEs in India. Vyapar is completely free to use, and its unique selling proposition is its user accessibility and affordability.

7 Eco-Friendly Brands Playing Their Part To Save The Environment

Jan 14, 2022

Global warming is on an exponential rise and not everyone is taking part in controlling the situation. But there are some brands who have accepted their responsibility and are becoming the forerunners in carrying out eco-friendly projects. It is these measures that if all companies start applying, the world just may be saved.

1. Nestle – paper straw

Juices, in general, come with straws. But that means quite a heavy addition of plastic into the world which will take hundreds of years to decompose. To tackle their carbon footprint on the world, Nestle has introduced paper straws. Of course, that comes in plastic packaging still. But at least, the amount of total plastic is fairly lesser now.

2. Dove – reforestation

Dove announced their reforestation drive this World Environment Day. They have announced to reforest around 20,000 hectares of land. This is in hopes that over 300,000 tons of CO2 will be captured. Moreover, it will prevent the release of 200,000 tons of CO2.

3. National foods reforestation

National Foods also announced its reforestation drive to ensure replacing the trees it uses in its product manufacturing. The brand also started a marketing campaign that would mobilize the masses in taking part in planting trees.

4. Sapphire seed bag

Sapphire has launched bags made of seed paper. The process includes tearing the bag into small pieces. Then you will have to plant the pieces at least two inches deep. Et voila, you will have plants sprouting, if you keep watering it regularly.

Not only is it eco-friendly but it is also very creative and seems like an interesting activity that people would want to participate in.

5. Apple – recycled aluminum

To manufacture its products, Apple recently applied for a patent that claims it used Used Beverage Cans (UBCs) for aluminum parts in the iPhones.

6. Adidas sustainable raw material

Using plastic in your products especially if you are a company that has a massive consumer base means a huge addition to non-biodegradable waste. Adidas has announced that they will be using more than 60% of recyclable raw material; recycled polyester.

7. Coca Cola – 50% Recyclable material; ocean cleanup

Coca-Cola is participating in a major ocean cleanup drive. Other than that, they have also announced that they want to ensure that their packaging is completely recyclable. Moreover, 50% of their packaging will be made of recycled material.

This Pakistani Girl Has A Question For All The Men Out There

By

Jan 14, 2022

saba qamar pakistani girl — Image Source: AboutPakistan

Twitter is a platform where people often come to break news or have a fun conversation or troll entities. A case in point would be Twitterati trolling India and Afghanistan. But occasionally, Twitter does become a conversation starter just like for this Pakistani girl.

Pakistani girl on Twitter

A Pakistani girl made use of the platform to call out all men on their lack of planning in day-to-day lives. She must have felt exasperated at how the men around her reacted to planning. This is why she was pretty specific in calling these men out. She quoted men and the phrases they use such as ‘dekhtey hain‘ (we’ll see) and ‘kuch karte hain‘ (we’ll do something).

Why do men not make proper plans? Wtf is dekhte hain. Kuch karte hain??? Like every single MAN DOES THIS

— Maham T (@ItsNotaRant) November 2, 2021

Other girls also rallied behind her post confirming that the hypothesis could indeed be generalized. One said that her inference of the ‘dekhain ge‘ was their way of getting out of a situation.

It took me a whole year to finally understand that dekhain gay means “chal mera put chutti kar”

— anaa_yaa (@chaichahiya) November 2, 2021

Pakistani men defend themselves

This is the fun part of Twitter when you call someone out on Twitter. The person being questioned also has the option to reply. Hence, you can expect what happened. Men decided to give this Pakistani girl what they thought was a proper response.

Throwing in words, one person said that the girl was confusing pragmatism with procrastination. He said that men do not flee from challenges. In fact, they use such statements only when they do not have full information yet they will take the case on. So this is their indicator that they are ready to test the waters.

Don't confuse pragmatism with procrastination. Men usually don't flee the challenge, they only say things like Dekhty hen, Kuch krty hen, when thy don't hav full information at hand but still r willing to take on the task by testing the waters.
Failure is an effect not cause.

— Changezi – چنگیزی (@Tamudgen) November 3, 2021

Another man accepted this allegation though. He, in fact, shared that a screenshot of a conversation with a friend where he actually said ‘dekhte hain‘.

A conversation with my friend, just a few minutes ago 😜 pic.twitter.com/y2ZMrYjIif

— Aqeel Uz Zaman (@maqeeluzzaman) November 3, 2021

One other Pakistani man took the opportunity to jokingly call women out by saying that it is the women who need to stop annoying the man because these phrases mean that they have taken the matter under consideration.

Actually dkhtay hien means it is noted and is under deliberation, so no need to annoy him repeatedly, just wait, ghabrana nahi bs 😂😝

— Usama Ata (@Usama_Ata) November 3, 2021

Two more interpretations come forward. One is that they need time before responding properly. And the other is that even the men don’t know what they will be doing.

🙂🙂 pic.twitter.com/4hQ7xuCAws

— 🐭 (@nikalrahahonyar) November 3, 2021

Jan 13, 2022

Monday, January 10, 2022, KARACHI: Syngenta is a leading multinational enterprise, revolutionizing the global agricultural sector. Syngenta Pakistan Limited (SPL) has now introduced ‘Vibrance Duo’ – the company’s latest formula for wheat seed-treatment. This product is a flow-able concentrate containing two chemicals; Fludioxonil and Sedaxane, which ensure strong root-foundation, while also saving the crop from soil and seed-borne diseases i.e. Loose Smut, Bunt.

‘Vibrance Duo’ helps in fetching higher yields and better returns on investments by shielding roots and crops against diseases. It makes sure that the crop germinates well & grows better in different weather conditions. By introducing the Seed Treaters, Syngenta has taken a step forward in its aim of mechanizing Pakistan’s agricultural sector at large. Other benefits of Vibrance Duo include ease of use and high profitability.
Timely application of ‘Vibrance Duo’ promises safety from soil & seed borne fungal diseases, which is a primary concern of the wheat-cultivators. This product will ensure better Return-On-Investment (ROI), by increasing the crop-yield of wheat.

Syngenta’s “Naya Savera” franchise-centers also provide free seed treatment facilities to the farmers, who opt for Vibrance Duo for the treatment of the seeds. Its latest equipment is also available for on-farm seed-treatment service, especially for the large acreage. One acre of land uses 50 Kg of wheat-seed, which is difficult to be treated manually, in areas where the average land-holdings are vast. The ‘Seed Treater has become a game-changer in large scale agriculture, as it treats a 50 kg bag of seeds in 5 minutes only.

In an agricultural country like Pakistan, where Wheat is cultivated on an area of 9 million hectares, farmers can achieve significant increase in their productivity and derive tremendous advantages by using seed-treatment technology. Seed Treaters have made it very easy to apply Vibrance Duo at a very large scale and this will help prevent crop-damage, and millions of farmers will be saved from incurring financial losses.

The healthcare industry of Pakistan is developing rapidly and successfully since the systems have become easier due to the implementation of the latest technology. The online consultations of doctors and online pharmacies have set the trend among the people of Pakistan. However, online pharmacies have played a vital role in serving the country’s population since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

During the pandemic, a major shift has been observed from offline shopping to online shopping; however, in the healthcare industry, offline pharmacies also moved towards online to serve the people during the times of lockdown in the country.

Online pharmacy has created a boost in the healthcare sector, including the public and the private sector. According to the statistics, the private healthcare sector serves more than 70% of the population of Pakistan, and now the online pharmacies are also expanding to facilitate patients with online deliveries of medicines.

Healthcare items are essential, and the pharmacies have identified the need for its timely delivery. Pakistanis have also started to learn the online ordering systems as the status quo from offline shopping has been shifted to online cart shopping.

People in Pakistan have shown a massively positive response towards the online facilities provided by the pharmacies. Hence, an increase in the number of online orders has also boosted the interest of investors to invest in the online pharmacy side of Pakistan.

Role of Online Pharmacies in the Healthcare Industry

The significant role of online pharmacies has been seen in the healthcare sector, where reliability and on-time deliveries have created a positive impact. From OTC to all prescribed medicines are now available online in Pakistan.

Online pharmacy is no less than a blessing for people living in rural areas where patients of any rare or common diseases face many difficulties finding a pharmacy in their nearby areas. Online pharmacies have resolved several issues where most pharmacies are delivering all over Pakistan.

According to the official reports, the healthcare sector has witnessed a positive impact on online purchases of medicines. People buy medicines through websites or apps of the pharmacies registered online.

Various roles of online pharmacies in the healthcare industry of Pakistan are as follows:

To offer accessibility of medicines to the people living in rural areas or any area of the country with limited mobility.
To provide doorstep delivery.
To provide fast delivery service of medicines.
Licensed pharmacists work by following all health regulations.
Easy to use online pharmacy apps and websites to order medicines.

Medicine is the most sensitive matter in health, but Pakistanis have shown their trust in online pharmacies, leading the healthcare sector to grow more.

Best Pharmacy in Pakistan

Several pharmacies are considered among the top or best, but since most of them have now shifted to online, the ones with the fastest delivery are considered best.

The role of online pharmacy has made lives easy. Not only medicines but other healthcare equipment are also available online. All are now available online if you want to order any healthcare item, personal hygiene products, health safety products, etc.

Online pharmacies in Pakistan are excelling as many have collaborated with the courier companies for overnight deliveries or same-day delivery to be quick.

Dawaii, Dvago, Servaid, Sehat, and many other pharmacies serve their exceptional services in Pakistan. The pharmacies are again on high alert as a new transmittable virus has arrived with its first case in Pakistan.

Online Pharmacies Post Covid-19 Situations

In post-COVID-19 situations, the online pharmacies are constantly working the same way as they did during the pandemic. The focus is to serve patients at their earliest. The e-commerce industry in Pakistan is growing, whereas healthcare is also contributing to online services.

According to the official sources, online pharmacies are advised to store major stocks so that the inventory will help to fulfill the demand in uncertain situations in the upcoming months. WHO has advised taking safety measures for the new variant of the contagious virus.

Aiman Khan vs Jannat Mirza – Things Seem To Be Getting Uglier

Aiman Khan recently gave a stellar interview with Voice Over Man, one of the most famous interviews people follow. The show, hosted by Wajahat Rauf, has a huge fan following and is known for the most unfiltered content. Thus, when Aiman Khan said something unfiltered to Jannat Mirza, things started getting ugly.

What Happened?

The host asks Aiman Khan her advice for celebrities in one of his questioning rounds. In all of the celebrities’ names he took, he took that of Jannat Mirza also. Jannat Mirza has made her name known to all through Tiktok as she became the first and only Tiktoker to get over 9 million followers. However, Aiman Khan was not that impressed and said to her: “lam makeup kiya karo”.

We don’t know which picture of hers Aiman Khan saw and didn’t like. However, she was not a fan of Jannat Mirza’s makeup. And this is where the feud started!

Jannat Mirza Slaps Back

Jannat Mirza made a TikTok video and played to her strengths. The video soon went viral because it was a slap-back video! The Tiktoker accused Aiman Khan of having done multiple surgeries. Her point was how can someone, who has gotten so many surgeries done, make fun of her for doing too much makeup? Moreover, she said to Aiman Khan that she had “no right” to comment on her appearance.

Watch the video here:

Jannat MIrza’s Disrespect To All

Jannat Mirza may be famous but it is clear that she holds no regard for those who are elder than her and more professionally acclaimed. Not only did she disrespectfully deal with Bushra Ansari when she was teaching her respect but now she has also taken up a fight with Aiman Khan. Aiman Khan was on a show that calls for such comments and funny one-liners, it isn’t that deep or personal.

While we’re sure Aiman Khan will not be bothered about this, Jannat Mirza might be ruining her future. Picking fights with all the influential people will do her no good. Surely, the TikToker wants a part of the entertainment industry because TikTok is all about acting too.

Hareem Shah Lands In Trouble For Flaunting A Hefty Amount Of International Currency

By

Jan 13, 2022

Hareem Shah has always managed to make headlines for all the wrong reasons and this time is no different. The TikToker has become accused in money laundering cases and FIA is chasing her. Here’s what all happened:

Hareem Shah & Money Laundering

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Pakistan Customs authorities have collectively registered a money laundering case against Hareem Shah. Moreover, these two authorities have also asked the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) to take action.

FIA has taken note. They were prompted when Hareem Shah claimed in a video that she was smuggling thousands of British pounds abroad. All this too while travelling from Jinnah International Airport (JIAP) to London! Moreover, she claimed she wasn’t checked anywhere! Naturally, a claim like this was bound to spread like wildfire.

Watch The Video:

#WATCH: #Pakistan‘s TikTok sensation #HareemShah openly confesses to money laundering and brags about using her influence as she has access to higher quarters. pic.twitter.com/m9o4fVtqkz

— Aneesa Tareen (@TareenAneesa) January 12, 2022

Hareem Shah later claimed the money came from her sister’s car’s sale in the UK.

What Happened Later?

As the claim became more viral, Hareem Shah started denying all she said. She said that the video and her statements were just a “prank”.

Senior FIA officials are working to investigate how Hareem Shah could pass immigration standpoints without declaring her currency. Other reports suggest that the Tiktoker, whose actual name is Fizza Hussain, passed through security counters easily. She had no protocol and departed from JIAP via Qatar Airways.

The Cases Registered

The FIA has proceeded to launch a money laundering case against Hareem Shah. They are also collaborating with UK’s National Crime Agency so that they can seek action against Shah for shifting large amounts of money. The proof will be her video. They will be subject to foreign laws.

This was bound to happen. Hareem Shah had been playing cat and mouse chase with the authorities for a long time now and it was bound to hurt her at some point. Earlier, she had made a video in which she was unpacking liquor bottles. Yet, she publicised it to the world. Now, prank or not, she is on FIA’s radar and will find herself in a tough spot.

This articles was submitted by Amna Hamid

Ads are cute, ads are rare, their crazy presence is everywhere! There’s no denying that creative advertisements are effective – they leave you with positive and/or negative thoughts, depending on the content shown. They also convert fans into customers, the ultimate goal of all brands!

Let’s savour the reminiscences of the most thought-provoking ads of 2021:

Peek Freans’ Sooper

EBM’s trailblazer biscuit “Sooper” rolled out a superb TVC last April that won millions of hearts instantly. “Dua-e-Shukr” features the gorgeous actors Sarah Khan and Zahid Ahmed with the evergreen diva Asrar mesmerising the viewers with his engrossing voice in the background. Their admirable message of thanking Almighty Allah for all His Blessings always hit every heart raptly.

2. SnackVideo’s Smile for a cause: Make their Eid shine!

This affectionate gesture to spread smiles during Ramadan and Eid 21 won SnackVideo an unforgettable TVC! Starring the great Mr Faisal Edhi, this ad succeeded in raising a remarkable sum of over Rs. 5,000,000 for the underprivileged. SnackVideo generously donated Rs. 10 for every ‘smiling’ video shared on their platform with the hashtag #EidwithEdhi. See, even ordinary acts of kindness can be impactful.

3. KalaKola

“Jao jahan main ho jao wahan sab kay dil ki dharkan. Sunaye kahani, banaye deewana sab ko mera har rang!”

Gone are the days when people feared hair dyes turning their hair white permanently. KalaKola favourably evolved its brand’s image by choosing the style sensation Aima Baig as their new Brand Ambassador.

**4. Fast Cables – Jooray Diloon kay Taar!**

Promoting the light of education even after dark, Fast Cables enlightened our minds and souls with their fascinating new TVC. Rural families with antiquated customs and households with meagre incomes usually avoid sending their children to school. This cultivating ad not only symbolises compassion but also focuses on connecting hearts through love and care.

5. Sana Safinaz’ Luxury Lawn

Featuring the melodious Shuja Haider’s song “Teri Qasam” in the backdrop, Sana Safinaz’ Luxury Lawn 2021 commercial needs no introduction. This romantic video highlights the concepts of love, taking risks and accomplishments through tireless efforts. Not all lovers are star-struck, after all!

Here’s wishing all the very best to every new and existing Pakistani brand for making 2022 as colourful and inspiring as the former year for their advertisement campaigns. Cheers!
