Mark Zuckerberg has been quite busy in the last months. Not only has he managed to change the name of Facebook, officially, he has also brought about a new concept. The changing of the name is just one step towards establishing something else. He is making, what is being referred to as, the Metaverse. If you hadn’t heard the name yet, you might be hearing it quite a lot now. If you have seen movies like Ready Player One or the Matrix, you might already be familiar with this concept. After all, it is not every day that one dreams of entering such a universe.

Even if you haven’t seen these movies, you must have heard of the game known as Assassin’s Creed. The concept of the game revolves around the protagonist being able to play out the memories of their ancestors. To enter a whole new virtual universe where you are the player is what the metaverse is all about. So, what is there to know about such a concept? This is what we are going to get you familiar with.

Getting To Know The Multiverse

Imagine that you are playing a game and the character is running around in an open world. There is a lot for you to do in the world and you have hours and hours ahead of you. However, this is not the maximum level of immersion that we are going to get with the metaverse. Imagine that, instead of controlling the player in a virtual world, you are the player in the world. Being embedded in the system and released into it is something that we all dream of. The Metaverse is going to establish a similar universe, with virtual social media platforms.

Imagine you are able to enter a domain where you can meet people, virtually, in real-time. Having google meet or zoom meetings can also be done here. Instead of sitting online, you could, through virtual reality, sit in your family members’ houses and enjoy a gathering. It shows that the potential of VR is immense and can be practiced on quite a number of platforms. Instead of having to sit at home, you can dive into the virtual world itself and have hours of fun.

Further Details

It seems that the Metaverse is going to be a world that spans across the physical and virtual dimensions. It is to be a persistent, synchronous environment that is not going to be altered by outside factors. People are going to experience immersion like never before. The company is currently looking for talents to be hired for such a project. The project is going to be huge so they do need a massive team.

That said, we hope that the company is able to implement such a verse without there being too many problems. There are, obviously, bound to be initial hitches and bugs when the system goes live but that is common for any product. If your product has no bugs, then you have released it too late. Who knows, maybe we get to establish our own ‘Oasis’ from ‘Ready Player One’.

Paid Or Unpaid Internships? An Online Debate Takes Over The Internet

Unpaid internships internships in Pakistan — P.C. Pakistan Today

It seems that the debate has been going on forever. There has never been a proper conclusion to it; everyone says their piece and continues to practice what they believe is right. This time the debate became the decor of LinkedIn. A user on LinkedIn posted a picture that read: Internships should be … a) paid, and b) unpaid. Safe to say, it became a hit LinkedIn post.

Have a look at the post:

Unpaid Internships

Obviously, there are people who believe in unpaid internships. These may be the company owners or probably the ones who have been told that the lesser stipends they dispense the more their bonus shall be. Point is, they exist and they will go to any lengths in proving why those interns who are not getting paid and are protesting against it are whiners.

One such person got to quite some lengths in responding to the poll. ‘He wrote an essay’, the expression would not be an understatement. I will summarise it for those who do not want to overburden themselves with the hellish long answer. He equated a company with a university saying since we pay the university to learn, we should not seek money when we are learning at an office.

Another had a different proposal of the same nature. This person said that interns will be very happy with other rewards. They do not seek cash, nor should they. Her exact words were:

“In my experience, a structured academic internship allows a student to appreciate the world of work. No, I won’t recommend cash payments because they cost too much to a business. They may “work” and be productive to a business, the reward, experience to go in the CV that puts them ahead of their peers who do not have these networks already.”

What these people do not understand is that companies also benefit from having these interns. So the benefits go both ways.

Paid Internships

Another stance was that internships should be paid. This was not just from the interns but also employees who genuinely felt for the interns and were reminded of their internship days. The reasons make sense when you realise that if a certain someone can’t afford it and yet moved heaven and earth to get an education, they should not be asked to let go iff their stipend.

It is even disadvantageous to the companies who may lose a talented intern to a company paying low. Only those who have no worry about household expenses are the ones who can choose to be on unpaid internships. And in this day and age, that number is getting lesser and lesser with increasing inflation.

It is sad to see people fighting over why they are right to not release stipends. This is especially considering even paid interns these days get bird’s ratio, an amount that can barely cover their expenses.

If only these interns could pay rent from ‘learning’.

For the event, Arena of Valor developed a custom version that reduces the amount of socialization, commercialization, and non-battle systems to focus on the game’s core competitive features.

Arena of Valor Asian Games Version features the most-popular heroes from different versions of Arena of Valor across the globe, so players from different regions can pick heroes they know.

Arena of Valor is a trendsetting competitive battle mobile game developed by TiMi Studio Group, global game development and operations team, and a subsidiary of Tencent Games. It entered Pakistan in October and is welcomed by the local users.

In other parts of the world, fans have streamed over 40 million hours of Arena of Valor gameplay from the game’s major tournaments, the Arena of Valor World Cup and Arena of Valor International Championship.

“The competitive spirit that has made Arena of Valor so popular around the world is what makes this such an honor. And with it, we will provide comprehensive support in areas like game development, event operations, athlete selection, training management, and anti-doping,” said Arena of Valor Team. “Leveraging our previous experiences supporting the 2018 Asian Games, we’ll work closely with the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), The Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games Organizing Committee, Asian Electronic Sports Federation and partners in all regions, to deliver the thrill of esports to each and every viewer of the Asian Games.”

Arena of Valor is available in 16 languages and 173 countries and regions. It was among the top five in download charts in 18 countries and regions, and top 10 in grossing charts in 28 countries and regions. It’s the top mobile game in several Asian countries and regions, where mobile is the predominant platform and has a penetration rate of 60% local population in those markets.

Sadaf Kanwal has become the target once again and this time, it’s in conjunction with her mother-in-law, Safina Sabzwari. The saas-bahu rivalry is a classic trope of the subcontinent but the two challenged it in the video going viral as they jammed together. However, netizens aren’t feeling as joyous as the two and decided to bring the guns out.

The Viral Video

The video going viral shows the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law dancing together in the best of moods. It appears they are at a wedding festivity together, with Imran Khan’s balle balle blaring in the background— what a classic! We’re in love with Safina Sabzwari’s incredibly sophisticated and graceful outfit. She dons an electric blue matching separates set lined with a contrasting color inside! Sadaf Kanwal, on the other hand, is dressed in plain black.

The two brought their A-game to the dance floor as they dance with each other to the upbeat song. It also seems that all the other guests cleared the way to let them enjoy this moment.

We have to admit, it’s super cute.

What Do Netizens Think?

Netizens had a field day after seeing this video. It gave them the best content to trash Sadaf Kanwal yet again and make jokes by comparing her with Syra Yousuf. Many were surprised to see Shahroz Sabzwari’s mother dancing like this because she’s always appeared as a reserved personality. The netizens call this the ‘Sadaf Kanwal’ effect. Others took this as their cue to bring Syra Yousuf’s grace to the forefront. Have a look at what all they had to say:

There’s more!

Something To Aspire To?

There are two sides to everything! On one side we can gush over how cute this video is and how it shows a great relationship between the saas and bahu. Something we could all use a little of! It also normalizes saas-bahu having an informal, fun, and joyful relationship which is seldom accepted in this society or encouraged.

However, on the other end, we should also acknowledge that this only gives us a 30-second insight into the two’s relationship. We can’t judge what it’s like from this video alone. But whatever their relationship maybe, we’d love to see more videos of saas and bahu jamming like this in the future.

Here’s Why The Long-rumored Apple Car Might Be On Its Way Soon

apple car rumored to come soon now — Image Source: notebookcheck.net

Apple is always under some form of project, working on something all the time. They may not do reveals the whole year round, but when they do, people anticipate them. Their smartphone lines are released once a year and people line up to see them. The pandemic did delay their timeline but it did not hinder it completely. As many rumors of the company, another one has been circulating for a while now. This one is related to a car that Apple has been, supposedly, working on.

Of course, the company has always denied any such claims. They say that they are not working on any car. However, Tim Cook may have referenced that Apple is working on some form of autonomous technology. Now, another piece of news has gotten us wondering whether Apple really has an automobile project under its belt.

Apple Car Rumors

According to the news that has been circulating, Apple has hired a new recruit. This personality has now been asked to come aboard for the company. However, the interesting part is that the personality is Christopher Moore. He is the former Autopilot Software Director at Tesla. Yes, an employee of Tesla is coming to work for Apple. If that does not raise questions and queries, what does?

Why would Apple need to hire an expert in such a field if their area of expertise was not of that field? Surely, the company wants to do some development in the autonomous driving area. If an ex-Tesla engineer is involved, we could be expecting news soon. As usual, the company has refused to comment on this news and has denied any rumors of a car under development. How long can the company keep up this act, we ask? Sooner or later, there is going to be another leak, pointing towards something more specific.

Autonomous Technology

Self-Driving technology is still something that is being perfected. Recently, Tesla had to recall quite a lot of units because there were a lot of issues with the self-driving feature. This shows that there is still quite some time before we are able to achieve level 5 autonomous driving. If the experts in the field are having hindrances, then you know the obstacles are tough.

Let us hope we get to see some more rumors that lead to Apple’s car.

4 Powerful Quotes By Allama Iqbal That You’ll Ever Read

By

Nov 9, 2021

Allama Iqbal the, poet of the west, the national poet of Pakistan, is known for his poems. His works are loved and respected throughout the sub-continent regardless of which country he was in or which one he dreamt of. If one sits to analyze a theme in his writing, it is very late that we find writings concerning independence. Overall, what we see in his writings are powerful quotes that one can use to live a better and impactful life.

One can realize the power he had over his pen that most powerful quotes were embedded within his poems. Since the perfect meter in his poems made them catchy, his quotes were dispersed across a large population and are still a source of schooling for yet more people.

A little about Allama Iqbal

Born in 1877, he was a staunch believer in a state where Hindu Islam and all religions within India could exist freely and happily, but after some time, he realized that it was not possible. After that, he dreams of Pakistan, a land where Muslims could have their say and not be oppressed. He died in 1938, way before he could see Pakistan being formed but he will, to this date, be the country’s national poet who gave the people back then hope.

Powerful Quotes and verses

1. Push yourself to achieve more

He had the skill to convey a profound message in a short verse. For instance, he told his readers not to give up just because everything is in God’s hands. He said that even God sees who puts in efforts, so it’s better to keep trying because when you excel in something, God gives it to you.

ḳhudī ko kar buland itnā ki har taqdīr se pahle
ḳhudā bande se ḳhud pūchhe batā terī razā kyā hai

2. The power of Power

This is something very complex and yet very simple. He said, “Words without power is mere philosophy.” So basically, there is power in power to make words something. But if you don’t have that power, then saying powerful words will not attain the status you wanted it to. So before saying powerful words, one should achieve the authority to tell them.

3. Stay at the height you are meant to be, don’t go down

Nahin Tera Nasheman Qasr-e-Sultani Ke Gunbad Par
Tu Shaheen Hai Basera Kar Paharon Ki Chatanon Mein

4. Wake up because when you do, you can do so much

Auqabi Rooh Jab Baidar Hoti Hai Jawanon Mein
Nazar Ati Hai Iss Ko Apni Manzil Asmanon Mein

There are many quotes and poems by the poet, where he dispenses how he wants humans to develop their personality.

Tribute To The Poet Of The East Allama Iqbal With 21 Rare Images

By

Hareem Zafar

Nov 9, 2021

The 144th birth anniversary of the renowned National Poet of Pakistan and Muffakir-e-Pakistan, Dr. Allama Iqbal is being observed today on 9th November. Allama Muhammad Iqbal was the epitome of rich Urdu literature and one of the most instrumental figures in the history of Pakistan.

Born on November 9th, 1877, in Sialkot, Iqbal was a patron of the political, historical, religious, and cultural journal of Muslims of British India who played an important part in the Pakistan movement.

In his presidential address on December 29, 1930, Iqbal sketched a vision of an independent state for Muslim-majority provinces in Northwestern India;

“I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sindh and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single state. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated Northwest Indian Muslim state appears to me to be, at least of Northwest India.”

9th November 2016 marks Allama Iqbal’s 139th Birth Anniversary and we have decided to pay homage to the greatest philosopher of all time, by compiling some vintage images and shots from his life.

Let’s view some of these pictures below:

Seeking out haunted locations and spooky spirits is a favourite pastime for many people nowadays, and this castle could top any ghost hunter’s wish list.

UK’s Haunted Castle

Chillingham Castle in Northumberland has a storied history regarding paranormal activity; it’s even been dubbed the most haunted castle in the UK.

The castle has been the location of regular ghost sightings. It also has a brutal backstory dating back to the 13th century. Meanwhile, the ghost tour around the castle explains, the building has been home to some blood-curdling tales, including murder and torture.

One room of note featured in the clip is The Edward Room. It is speculated that King Henry III stayed there. One guest’s ghost meter rapidly lit up in certain areas of this room, alluding to the presence of some paranormal spirits.

A video of an ancient British ‘castle’ going viral on social media shows that ghosts rule here. The video shows a tour of the interior of the fort, and at the same time, the ghost meter lights up brightly, indicating the presence of some unusual spirits there.

Supernatural Experience In The Castle

Supernatural experiences are rather common at the location. Many guests reported pushing, hair pulling, voices being heard and even sightings of numerous ghostly figures. According to media reports, guests have had their hair pulled, horrible noises have been heard, and several ghosts have been seen.

Staff in the castle are also said to have heard a loud voice telling them to “get out”.

Reactions

Viewers were quick to share their stories of the castle, with one user commenting: “I stayed there and it scared the hell out of me, we loved it though.”

Another commenter wrote: “As we were leaving the chapel, someone put their hand on my shoulder… I was the last one in the group… other things happened while we were there.”

A third added: “Went on a ghost hunt there years ago really spooky place, we even explored the graveyard just at the start of the castle driveway.”

Daraz Puts Innovation And User Experience At The Centre Of This Year’s 11.11

Nov 8, 2021

The world’s largest shopping day, 11.11, has almost arrived, and this year, South Asia’s leading e-commerce marketplace, Daraz, is looking to give shoppers their greatest experience yet.

Daraz’s CEO and Founder, Bjarke Mikkelsen, says 11.11 is set to be different than previous years.

“This year, we want to make sure the campaign is not only about great deals but provides a fantastic and innovative user experience. We have been working hard to improve and simplify the overall shopping experience, so products are easy to find and the entire process – from browsing to purchase to delivery – is seamless and straightforward.

“Shopping should always be an exciting and fun experience, and we want all of our customers across the region to have an amazing time this 11.11,” says Mr. Mikkelsen.

Daraz has integrated a range of new technologies into its marketplace to create a more personalised, immersive, and simplified shopping experience of its 50 million products.

One of the latest features is the introduction of shoppable live streaming. This technology allows shoppers to directly engage with sellers through live video, giving them the opportunity to discover new products, learn different ways to use a product, and engage in an interactive review of the product with the seller. This innovative shopping experience bridges the gap between online and offline, enabling shoppers to make more informed purchasing decisions.

Each user is offered a unique navigation experience on the Daraz app, allowing them to easily access deals and promotions that best match their interests and preferences. The integration of an automated replenishment tool and an automated pricing tool ensures that a large number of deals are constantly offered and that prices remain competitive throughout the campaign.

As well as the work Daraz is doing to sharpen customer experience, they are also making sure 11.11 across the region is delivered in a more sustainable way. Daraz has invested in solar energy to reduce energy consumption, implemented greater automation to reduce the use of paper, and has committed to planting one million trees across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Myanmar.

“As a business, we are mindful that we want to have a positive impact on our communities across the region. While we are committed to ensuring our customers have the best shopping experience this coming 11.11, we also see the opportunity to leverage the reach of this year’s shopping festival to emphasise the importance we place on operating sustainably. We hope this approach will also start influencing our customers to shift towards thinking more proactively about how they can do their part,” says Mr Mikkelsen.

6 Things That Don’t Make Sense In Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay

By

Mehak Zehra

-

Nov 8, 2021

Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay, the current on-air Pakistani Drama is attracting quite a lot of eyeballs. And while we are loving it too especially since we read the novel as well, there are some discrepancies that we cannot wrap our minds around. Hence, even though we may love the hallucination-Mashal or the predicted romance between Mehreen and Aswad, the drama creators may want to shed some light on these issues.

Let’s list them down, shall we?

1. Mehreen doesn’t make sense

Remember when Mashal was alive and Mehreen hated Aswad? Aswad asked Mehreen to say no and she agreed. But the next time she meets her Khala, she just says yes, as if she had not promised Aswad anything. There was no justification for the change of heart.

2. Safwan’s reaction

Safwan who was going to be engaged to Mehreen lost his chance twice because of Aswad; he was not understandable at all. They show him to be so open-minded and in love with Mehreen that he did not need any proof of innocence, he just helped Mehreen out in jail. Plus, he convinced his mother as well for his decision of getting married to Mehreen. And when Aswad gets in the middle of the meetup yet again, he genuinely believes Aswad to be tormenting Mehreen (he said as much in the car ride with mommy). But then, in the next scene, where Mehreen leaves the house to elope with him, he accuses her of murdering Mashal? The character does not match!

3. Aswad and his nonsensical prison

After getting married to Mehreen, he announces her punishment. He tells her that she is not allowed to leave the house or attend to anyone’s phone call. She is not to meet with anyone or talk to anyone. She is also not to wear good clothes. After saying his piece, he just leaves her in Pakistan with someone who sympathizes with her (the khala) and goes to America?!?

Did he not think that behind his back, the rules may not be enforced?

4. The police and the incompetence

In the most recent episode, Mashal’s father had the police raid Aswad’s house to arrest Mehreen. She was hiding in the laundry, but the police couldn’t find her. Now, this was plain competence and did not make sense. Or wait, it is not that unexpected now, is it?

5. Inconsistent emotions of the investigating officer

The officer is definitely very inconsistent. When the crime happened, him being the stereotypical definition of a Pakistani policeman was biased against the suspect. He then began to show emotions as if he sympathized with Mehreen; as if he felt for her. But then the next moment he enters the canvas, once again, he is based against her.

Pick a side, man!

6. What happened to the dog?

Before Mashal died, she messed with Mehreen’s food. But then when Mehreen did not eat, she had Shabbo throw it away. Shabbo fed it to the dog. What happened to the dog?

We would very much like an answer to all these. Anyone, from Umera Ahmed, Mahira Khan, Kubra Khan, and Usman Mukhtar to the drama producers and directors can answer.

Until then, let’s wait for episode 14 of Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay due on Sunday.

Coca-Cola has created magic with their iconic LED display, in what is the largest ever LED display in Pakistan. This bold and big outdoor campaign has boosted their iconic design around the Country 8 towers in Pakistan. Commuters said it was a ‘magical moment’, with the first LED installed at Country 8, Karachi.

This iconic landmark in Karachi is located at Country 8 and is visible from Teen Talwar and is gaining lots of attention. The LED display can be seen glittering all over the towers from afar and it is quite a spectacle. Kinetic Pakistan is the agency behind the execution of Coca-Cola’s iconic landmark.

The landmark itself extends over 13 floors on an 18-floor building in Karachi. Kinetic Pakistan used the technology creatively to make a unified display, helping create real magic for Karachites.

Have vivo Phones Become Brittle And Slow Over Time?

Vivo phones being quite slow and brittle — Image Source: business-standard.com

Quite a lot of smartphone brands are operating in Pakistan as we speak. We can talk about them all day long and we would still not be able to mention all brand models. You might think about buying a new smartphone this month and get stuck. It is because newer phones are being released every month. A better one might be available to you next month or the one after that. That said, you should still consider every smartphone purchase as an investment. It must be a calculated decision so one must be wary of brands. vivo is one of the brands that you might want to steer clear of.

We are not saying that it has always been a brand to be cautious of. When it was first released, it gathered quite a sea of customers. Everywhere you’d look, you would find, at least, one vivo smartphone. However, it seems that they might have started to decline in their quality as time has passed by. Are they really worth an investment now in 2021?

vivo Phones And Quality

If we look at just the budget range of vivo phones, a lot of information might come as a shock. While the Y19 model is quite a recent one, it is certainly not the most impressive one. It has a chipset of Snapdragon 460, which is quite old for its performance now. Not only is it expected to lag and hang, but the phone has a shorter life now. In the price that the phone is offered, it does not justify the specifications. realme’s 5i can give Snapdragon 600 series in the same price range.

In fact, the 6i having Helio G80 is much better than the older generations of Snapdragon. vivo phones do not survive drop tests quite well, be they a budget phone or a mid-range one. Their battery life is even a 1000mAh lesser than its competitors. Would you rather not go for a smartphone that offers a longer battery, a better build, and a better processor? After all, a phone is an investment and you want it to last long. We would be surprised if vivo budget phones can last well past a year.

Getting Slower

Talking about the vivo higher-end phones, they are not faring as well either. The Y20 has had reviews where people have called it slow. They say that the UI is not appealing to the user and they feel they are using a lower-end phone. Why would anyone pay Rs.55,000/- just to have a mediocre experience in using a phone? If you have that much of a budget, you would rather go for the realme 7 Pro. It is better in every aspect and even costs less.

Additionally, it can break much easier than the rest of the competitors so that is a downside as well. That said, we hope you get the best phone that is available to you in your budget.

Maybe not vivo, though!

Why Is The New PEL Ad Not Glorifying Dowry?

By

Mehak Zehra

Nov 8, 2021

Pel just released its new ad with the theme of Wedding Jackpot and it did not sit well with some of the people. They assumed it to be an ad glorifying dowry, a phenomenon that is very much rampant in our society. But does it really glorify it though? Let’s look at the ad with a closer eye.

The PEL Ad

The ad begins with a wedding gathering where the new couple is getting photographed with relatives. Right then, a man enters singing the song and getting everyone to join in. This is the brand’s way of announcing the new campaign, the wedding jackpot. At the wedding, when the couple gets all the brand new stuff for their life ahead, they can get it all at a lesser price, and that is JACKPOT!

Here’s the video!

Right to mistake?

Some netizens did not like the ad. They felt the idea of the wedding to be extremely run-of-the-mill. While the brand could indeed have tried harder, the choice of going with a wedding is not that unthought off. Why? We belong to a culture where even though we had a pandemic imposed lockdown, there were weddings happening indoors. We are obsessed with weddings. Hence, when a brand is looking to sell its products, it would want to resonate with the masses for sure.

But this soon led to connecting the dots with the dowry. Dowry is when the bride and her family are burdened into bringing literally everything she would need when starting a new family. Now that the wedding is being shown, the deep-rooted idea must also be what it is glorifying is what some netizens thought.

Is really though?

While PEL could have indeed conveyed the idea in a better way where such an assumption does not even happen, the ad in question does not really glorify the act of dowry-giving. Most people around the world consider a wedding to be a new chapter, a new life for the couple. And when they enter their new life, they want to have new equipment; everything should scream new. And it is not always dowry. In fact, those who say no to dowry, also shop for new products. The couple pitches in their own money to buy the new equipment and house accessories.

Yes, the TVC does not say no to dowry but it doesn’t say yes to dowry either. They just signal that a new couple is off to start their new life and they should do it with everything new.

Next time, they can take a different route though; have a storyline. They could probably show a rishta meetup if there are really keen on exploring the wedding concept. And in that meetup, they can position a dialogue where the couple plans on purchasing the necessities and the luxuries but reinvokes that it will be the couple doing the purchasing and not the bride’s parent.

Take note PEL!

This Viral Cheese Paan Is Making People Question Their Existence

By

Nov 8, 2021

Paan is a traditional streetside food in the subcontinent which is loved and hated passionately – loved on chilly nights when there is a stall outside weddings and everyone devours one; hated, when pot-bellied uncles spit out paan-colored saliva with ultimate conviction on every corner. One red spit mark at a time, the world becomes dirtier. However, our love and hatred for paan aside, paan is being deeply tormented in India. Here’s how:

The Video Going Viral on Social Media

There is a video going viral on social media in which a paan wala is making a special paan in his shop. The video will immediately make you want to throw your phone in a ditch or start fasting. Why? It’s because it’ll make you want to hate food when you imagine the taste combinations.

The video is going viral because someone thought it to be a great idea to add cheese in paan. From the looks of it, this looks like a mozzarella cheese cube that is being shredded onto a paan. Mozzarella already has a more strong, salty taste and to add that to paan is an abomination.

Why Is It Going Viral?

It’s not going viral because it is a miraculous invention that will bring world peace. It is going viral because the combination is so disastrous and vomit-inducing that people are shocked. The comments are full of sarcasm, jokes, observations, and much more as people grapple with this viral video. Have a look at what all was said:

The good ol’ sarcasm:

Important realisations:

Wisdom shines through:

The vomit reaction says it all:

Stop Ruining Food

Combinations like maggie noodles with chocolate and paan with cheese need to be abolished. They need to be condemned more than the Panama case. These combinations ruin our childhood (and adult as well) favourite foods and make them into different perverted versions. Granted that not everyone has sophisticated taste buds, one can enjoy these horrifying combinations in the privacy of their homes.

Why must they be made viral for everyone to have a bad day and nightmares? The comments under this video are proof enough that this virality is doing no one a favour!

Netizens Make Accusations After Pictures Of Ahsan & Minal At A Party Go Viral

There’s a chicken and egg game going on when it comes to netizens and celebrities. Do netizens love to pick on Ahsan and Minal Khan more or does the couple love netizens more and hence, keep providing pictures to them? Perhaps we’ll never know. But what we do know for the moment is that Ahsan Mohsin Ikram is being called something by everyone— find out what it is, here!

Ahsan & Minal Khan Spotted

The newly-wed couple was captured at a party recently. Ahsan Mohsin Ikram nailed the casual-dressy outfit with a button-down and skinnies. On the other hand, Minal Khan was wearing a printed silk shirt and some pants! Fuss-free outfit for sure. Though more details haven’t been released of the party, two pictures of the couple have since surfaced. Have a look at them here:

A post shared by All Pakistan Drama Page (@allpakdramapageofficial)

What’s With Ahsan Mohsin?

By now you must have noticed that Ahsan Mohsin Ikram looks out of it in the second photo. The important question is whether that picture was just clicked at the wrong time or whether the consumption of ‘something’ had made him look like that! Whatever it may be, netizens were triggered and developed their own theories.

What Do Netizens Think?

Netizens have no chill anymore and are straight-up calling Ahsan Mohsin Ikram a ‘nashayi’. They are questioning whether this actor is always under the influence of ‘nasha’ or whether he does it so frequently that one can’t seem to see him normally. Have a look at their comments that don’t mince words:

What Will He Respond With?

The last time people attacked Ahsan Mohsin Ikram was for not “scolding” his wife – as if he was her father – for wearing a dress on their honeymoon, he responded. Ahsan Mohsin Ikram said that he dreams of a “liberal” Pakistan and that he is no one to control his wife.

Will Ahsan Mohsin Ikram also respond this time to netizens accusing him of being a nashayi? We hope his defense to being high or drunk in this photo won’t also translate into a dream for a drug-tolerant Pakistan. Jokes aside, the couple is on a roll after their marriage when it comes to traveling and partying!

T20 World Cup: Shoaib Malik’s Performance In Pak Vs Sco Wins Hearts

pak vs scotland t20 world cup shoaib malik — Image Source: Doonited New

The match last night between Pakistan and Scotland was the last installment before the semi-finals for both countries. Pakistan made it to the next round while the latter had to pack bags for home. While most may not consider yesterday’s match to be of much importance considering we already secured our place for the semi-final, it did determine us as the undefeated in this year’s T20 World Cup (thanks to Shoaib Malik, of course).

Pakistan vs Scotland

After the victory, we resumed our place on the top of the scorecard with 10 points and emerged as the only team to have not lost any match in this tournament. As the rules indicate, the Pakistan vs Scotland match was to determine who we will play against in the semi-final. As the top team, we have to play against Australia, the runner-up from the other group.

Alhamdulillah 🇵🇰❤️!
Can't be more thankful to Allah he gave us soo much respect ❤️🇵🇰💫#PAKvSCO #PakistanZindabad #shoaibmalik pic.twitter.com/opldE5ct4m

Shoaib Malik: Man of the match

As we celebrate the victory, we should also acknowledge a good game brought by Scotland who did not act defeated even though they were already out of the tournament. They gave a good game. In fact, considering that they were able to make 117 runs, their win might have seemed achievable had Pakistan not given a huge target. And when we acknowledge the huge target, we have to acknowledge Shoaib Malik and his sudden streak of sixes.

Last few overs, Malik made his way to the pitch and netizens were not too sure of this decision. Given how badly India had defeated Scotland, had the match turned out any other way, this would have been an indirect victory to our arch rival. But Malik came and the sixes he made one after the other won netizens hearts. He truly was a glad tiding for the Pakistani team. And Sania Mirza, the nation’s bhabi from India became glad tiding for the player.

54runs||| 18 balls||| 6 sixes…
Shoaib Malik has hit sixes in every match in which Sania Mirza has been present.
Mashaallah Shoaib Malik has presented a great game. Shoaib Malik seems to be playing outclass like this after a long time.#shoaibmalik #malik #PAKvsSCO pic.twitter.com/OJyps55bsi

Hopefully, the 40 years ‘young’ player will continue to showcase his experience with iconic performance in both, the semi-final as well as the final. This year, the cup should definitely be ours. But even if we do not win, let’s be better than the Indian fans and greet the team with our signature, ‘Tum jeeto ya haaro suno‘.
