During the meeting of the Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry announced the biggest scholarship for Pakistani students. This scholarship will accommodate students all the way from matric to Ph.D. The meeting was headed by Senator Mushtaq Ahmed, where the announcement took place.
Details of the scholarship
The details for the biggest scholarship entailed that ten toppers from matriculation will be selected from every district. All of them will be getting PKR 10,000 each per month. A total of PKR 13 billion have been allocated, making it the best scholarship in Pakistan. The Minister for Science and Technology said it would be launched this very year.

This is yet another attempt at motivating students to continue higher education, considering in our country, the literacy rate is relatively low. Especially in the lower classes where instead of studying, people prefer doing jobs, going up to the matriculation level is considered the most that they could do.
So in such a situation where people have the talent and want to study but are not able to given the financial constraints, they will be able to do it. Through the stipend they receive every month, they will be able to take care of their expenses.
Moreover, since it is not a one-time thing, they will get this amount every month. And this will give them the motivation to be on the toppers list in the following standard as well.

Pakistan’s only professional bike racer Muhammad Usman Ghani started the 2021/22 season with a podium finish representing Pakistan at the Waleed Al Shemais National Sportsbike Championship at Dubai Autodrome.
In the first race of the season 2021/22 featuring international racers, he could finish P3. “I had been preparing for this race form past week after my motorbike arrived. I had to make a lot of changes to get it smooth during the race,” said Ghani. “Still, my bike had some electrical issues in the last three laps that made me end P3; otherwise, I would have finished P2.”
He further added that the race was one of the toughest in his career, and he had to defend hard to keep his position. “I put my best to defend my third position. I was able to do that because of the practice and track days that I had during the past week,” he said.
In the second race of the same championship, Usman had a crash while making a turn due to a motorbike’s technical failure. “I was doing well in the second race, but then all of a sudden motorbike had a failure, and I crashed. Just had a minor injury in the right arm,” he said.
The 27-year-old Ghani had been representing Pakistan in the international circuits for the past three years. He is the only professional sports bike racer who is the Pakistani to gain a Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Race License and is also a certified coach.
In the three years since Ghani has also won 10 Podium finishes overall – P3 in the last championship and P3 in Rookie Championship in his first year. He also became the first-ever Pakistani who could strike back-to-back podium finishes in the SuperStock Championship based on piloting the MotoTech Yamaha R6.
Talking about Pakistan’s representation in the international races, he said, “Currently, I am the only one with Pakistan’s flag on the racing suit in the races. I want to see more racers in the future. I had been to Pakistan lately, and I have seen many talents there who don’t have the opportunity to display their skills.”
He added that as there is no racing track in Pakistan, the racers don’t have a place to race professionally and end up taking on the road. “I aim to help the government and the private investors to build Pakistan’s first-ever multi-purpose track that can be used for a different type of races,” he said.
Explaining the need for the track in Pakistan, he said, “The talented racers in Pakistan are either racing or dying while racing on the road. Racing on the road and without a helmet is not safe. The bikers in Pakistan are quick and talented, but they need a platform to showcase their skills.”

Ayesha Omer is undoubtedly a fashion icon in the Pakistani entertainment industry and she’s got a saree collection to support that!
1. The All-White Look
A saree is as graceful an attire as there can be. And what better way to add to it charm and grace than to own it in white? Her recent saree shoot is a sight for sore eyes. From the intricate details in gold with big jhumkas to the bold lip, this one is a stunner.
Tie-n-dye has been one of the most prominent trends in the fashion industry in the past season. It seems the trend is not on its way out any time soon because our favourite fashion icon is still supporting it. How incredible is this fusion look?
Organza sarees have also become a hot favourite amongst saree lovers. There’s something to the structure there is in organza which is complemented by its sheer look and fall. Here she adorns one of Rehmat Ajmal’s iconic pieces:
This look is close to her heart and we can totally see why! This saree is fit for a perfect event because of its one-of-a-kind look. We would have never thought black would look so phenomenal against a splash of colours.
Ayesha Omer opted for this classic-meets-contemporary look on a showcase of Elan’s bridal collection. It’s as if her taste in sarees only keeps getting better— we love the shimmery detail complementing the regal look of a jewel-toned satin look.
Block-printing is very popularly loved style in eastern wear but seeing it adapted in a saree is rare. Ayesha Omer shows us how to do it right in this simple yet festive look.
If you were ever wondering how a saree can be made perfect for a grand event, look no further. This Shehla Chatoor ensemble is a dream come true in terms of colours and textures. It’s neutral, has a pop of colour and has a frilled border: it’s to-die-for!
A black saree can never go out of style and there is nothing more attractive than a black saree done right. Alas, its Ayesha Omer we’re talking about, it was done right. Notice how the ombre look in such contrasting shades is executed so well. Plus, she always nails her hair and make-up too!
Are we sensing trouble in paradise with Agha Ali and Hina Altaf?
A Couple Like No Other
Aagha Ali and Hina Altaf are truly a couple like no other. Both are great actors who are successful in their own right and their union is just as incredible. The netizens, however, might disagree over this as after Aagha Ali’s fat-shaming incident, the couple’s reputation has been tarred.
Image Source: Dispatch News Desk
Aagha Ali’s Not Too Happy
Now it seems that there might be more trouble stirring in paradise with these two. Hina Altaf posted a picture of herself in an over-sized T-shirt which she captioned with “comfy shirt”. People sensed though that this must be Aagha Ali as he was not only tagged but he also added the face-palm emoji in the comments!
But that is not all… the T-shirt fiasco continued further. A video of the two emerged in which Aagha Ali is taunting his wife by saying she looks good. To make matters clear, he asks her to show people the shirt she’s wearing!
It’s Never Ending!
It seems these antics of Hina Altaf are never-ending. That green shirt is not the only one she’s stolen. Here’s the other!
This video gained popularity because of Hina Altaf’s humorous answer which clearly even confused Aagha Ali. When her husband remarks “this is MY T-shirt”, she nonchalantly and carelessly replied, “this is a cotton T-shirt”.
This response has divided the internet as several laughs at how ridiculous the response is while others get annoyed. The general reaction aside, can we focus on the incredulous face Aagha Ali makes?! We’ve all made this face around our friends— we feel you, Aagha

Ali!
The Unpleasant Comments
The comment section, however, was not all too humoured by this response. Many are finding this duo’s antics intolerable because they just won’t stop. All we have to say about that is if we’re not going to live and let live especially after going through a pandemic, when will we?
Image Source: Instagram
Annoying Habits
Recently after their marriage, Aagha Ali also spilled some secrets pertaining to their relationship. When he was asked whether Hina Altaf does something that is annoying, he knew exactly what he would talk about!
Apparently, Hina Altaf tends to lose her glasses “10 times during the day” which her husband has to find each of those 10 times. It also seems this is a daily problem! She won’t learn to take care of them and he won’t stop helping her find them. Cute or simply annoying?

Some brands started their music products, and people loved them. Seeing their success, others must have thought to try their luck in this industry as well. So it was only a matter of time when they ventured into it. As expected, McDonald’s announced last night that they will be launching their own version of music product, McDonald’s Rap Battle.
McDonald’s Rap Battle
The date McDonald’s Pakistan has provided on their Twitter account is Kashmir Day, February 5th, 2021.
One thing brands need to realize is that audience is not stupid. They see the pattern and make the connection. So they were quick to pick up on it and comment how they found McDonald’s as a trend follower.
Well, we won’t comment on whether McDonald’s is just following others or not. But Twitterati found this initiative very unoriginal and lacking creativity. And they were ready to point it out.
Interestingly, even upon seeing so many questions, McDonald’s has not responded on why they felt the need to do so.
McDonald’s may not have been creative, but Twitterati definitely is when it comes to making memes.
Twitter Memes
The Twitter memes used everything, from the funny ad visuals to movie scenes to old memes that went viral in the past.
Pakistani fans will be allowed to witness the live matches of the sixth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) as National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has allowed 30% attendance at both National Stadium of Karachi and Gaddafi Stadium.
PSL season six is just around the corner, and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has good news for the fans who want to watch matches at the stadium.
Just a week back, PCB released a tender for the sale of tickets. To this, four private companies have acknowledged and expressed their engrossment. This has been done through applications sent to the country’s cricket board.
The play-offs and final of the last edition were held under closed stadium, while the ongoing home series against South Africa also saw no attendance in the sands.
However, PCB put up a request to NCOC to allow a certain number of people into the stadium. NCOC has responded to that request and has accepted it. It is speculated that this news will officially be made public on February 4.
In the early days of 2021, PCB had proceeded with a report for the printing and selling of international matches and PSL games.
PSL season is going to be held at Karachi and Lahore with 20 and 24 matches going to each city respectively starting from February 20.
[Update]: The drive-in cinema in Islamabad that was hyped to open up, did open up in F-9 Park. But now someone has filed a petition against it. It was filed in Islamabad High Court and Advocate Yasir Chaudhry was there on the petitioner’s behalf.
The Chief Justice has sent the case to the Capital Development Authority who have been asked to submit a written response after reviewing the petition.
The drive-in cinema was showing 6 shows a week; 2 shows every day from Friday to Sunday. But the petitioner has said that the commercial activities thanks to the cinema are polluting the area.
Pakistan already had a minimal number of cinemas in the country. With the reawakening of the film industry, people were just starting to open up to the idea of having more cinemas. But then, COVID arrived. And the resulting lockdown closed off the cinemas. Even though the lockdown eventually ended and services slowly opened up, but cinemas never did. This was because they were all in closed halls, so the chances of spreading the virus were higher.
COVID: What to do
But a life without entertainment, is that even life? What we mean to say is that COVID is here to stay, and it has dampened the joy in the world considerably. What we need, at this point, is something to lift our spirits. What we need is a bit of fun and entertainment. Now, the query was ‘how to find this entertainment in a COVID-filled atmosphere?’
Image Source: Arab News
Where there is a problem, there is a solution. As soon as the situation was presented, people started offering their own versions of solutions. So, where the cinema halls were concerned, people started opting for Drive-in cinemas. And so the drive-in cinema culture started returning to a somewhat degree. Some countries were quick to adopt them. Why? Because it ensures lesser human interaction. Only people you already have been interacting with are in the car with you, and others are in their own vehicles. So you do not have to be in the vicinity of a stranger; this protects you as well as them.
Drive-in Cinema
Hence, people started suggesting a similar idea in Pakistan as well.
Twitter user @Faizankhaan91 presented the idea that since one cannot have a big gathering inside the halls, how about shifting it outside. He, of course, was talking about Islamabad. According to his suggestion, vendors could be on the ground serving food while the audience sits in the car. And all they needed was a huge screen in F9 every weekend. He was addressing the DC office.
Sir given we have Covid-19 on the rise and there can’t be any big gathering in the city, how about DC office plan a car theatre every weekend in F9 until things are back to normal. Food vendors can put stalls and serve in car. Could be brilliant activity in Covid. @hamzashafqaatpic.twitter.com/bH1MgQ6xKy
And it is just absolutely lovely when people listen to you, isn’t it? The tweet trended and reached the person being addressed. Muhammed Hamza Shafqaat, DC Islamabad, a government official, responded to Faizan on the issue. He assured Faizan that they are already working on it and Islamabad will hopefully see a ‘car cinema’ next month, i.e., December.
Working on it. We plan to have a car cinema next month. Stay tuned 🎬 https://t.co/rx2ZcHDCZd
Some people were overjoyed at this tweet, while others were reminded of the time when Pakistan had numerous drive-in cinemas. Let’s hope all goes well and Islamabad gets to enjoy their own car/drive-in cinema.

5 Pakistani Online Stores To Buy Cool And Latest Gadgets From:
Unfortunately, several brands, including Apple, do not launch their products in Pakistan officially. While several authorized retailers deal with Apple and other well-reputed brands, their products are not optimized for the Pakistani audience.
If you intend to buy a genuine range of products, the following Pakistani online stores have all the main gadgets and tech products to fulfill all your tech-related needs.
1. Telemart:
Telemart started as an online store with smartphones and other accessories but quickly evolved into a huge brand with a good reputation. The store has all the latest products and gadgets. They claim to offer market competitive rates and even extend their stores to other categories apart from smartphones and gadgets.
2. HomeShopping:
Homeshopping is another well-reputed store and one of the most favorite choices of Pakistani consumers. Even though the store offers a lot more than tech, smartphones, and other electronics, it has proved to be one of the choices for Pakistan’s online customers for their tech-related needs.
3. AllMyTech: Ass the name suggests, the store intends to be the first choice for customers who intend to buy their tech-related needs. The online store claims to have genuine products, and a quick-scroll revealed that the store has a lot of gadgets and the latest smartphone accessories for its customers.
4. Symbios:
Symbios refers to itself as an electronics megastore, and upon navigating you, the site lives up to it. The platform consists of all the latest headphones, smartwatches, wireless chargers, and other gadgets that any tech enthusiast would require. Along with them, there is a lot of non-smartphone-related gear, too, making it one of the online stores with a huge variety of gadgets.
5. GadgetStore:
GadgetStore is an online-store that intends to be an all-in-one place for your gadgets related needs. Even though it does not have a significant amount of awareness amongst the Pakistani audience, the website has many offers and selling-points, which would make this site one of the excellent choices for a Pakistani tech-enthusiast.
Food is one constant in everyone’s life. Whoever you are, you have to make and eat food. Well, of course not if you are extremely rich and don’t even know where your kitchen is also if you are that kind of a man who strongly believes in society given gender roles. So we are going to assume that you actually do interact with food. So especially for you, here are 5 food hacks that made rounds on TikTok and might be worth trying.
1. Reverse straining the pasta
When you are making pasta, you have to boil it, and then strain the water by pouring the content from the pot into a strainer. After that, you pour cold water on it followed by putting the pasta back in the pot. An alternate way is reversely straining the pasta. In this, you put the sieve on top of the pot and tilt the pot so the water drains out from the pot but the pasta stays in. Saves two steps, doesn’t it?
2. Peeling a mango with a glass
Mangoes are the best amongst the fruits, are they not? And the best way to relish their taste completely is to properly peel them first so when you are eating, you don’t face any obstacles. But it’s just very hard to peel them the usual way. The unusual way, however, is quite easy. All you need to do is half the mango vertically. And then put the lower end of one side on to a glass edge. And just scoop it out!
3. Juice the lemon the right way
Squeezing the lemon adds rich flavor to any dish. But when you do it, all your hand gets sticky. The better way is to poke the lemon on one end with a fork. In that hole, insert a chopstick, or tooth stick, whatever you have available. It should go up to a 3-quarter length of the lemon. Make sure to widen the hole a little to maximize flow. Now, you just squeeze it. The juice won’t get on your hands and the extract will be seed-free. Thank me later. Well, thank the TikTok food hacks, but same difference.
4. Banana Bread Mug
This food hack allows you to make banana bread in a mug within 60 seconds. You mash half a banana, one-third cup of oat flour, 1 tbsp oat milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, half teaspoons of vanilla essence, baking powder, cinnamon. Add a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut. Put it in the microwave for 60 seconds, et voila!
5. Peeling boiled eggs
The hack that I knew for peeled boiled eggs was, hitting the boiled egg on its shell and then putting it in a glass. Shake the glass around and they say, the shell just comes off. Sometimes it’s perfect, other times it’s not. But the TikTok Food hacks showed another way.
You take a boiled egg and make a small hole on the top of the egg. At the bottom, you make a slightly larger hole. From the top hole, blow in the hole, the peeling will come right off.

These TikTok food hacks are worth trying. So do let us know how you found them!

Apple is currently one of the fastest rising brands on the market. Steve Jobs is considered one of the most influential personalities of all time. His life story shows how far determination can take a person. Whether you are an Apple fan or not you must have read about Steve Jobs at least once. The guy revolutionized how we look at modern technology, all the while improving designs and software for Apple products.
Apple is still considered as a brand which ships out only flagship products. In fact, they are so exclusive that their products don’t even have sales on them, not even on black Friday. So, there have been certain difficulties that have arisen with the pandemic release last year. One of them was having to wear a face mask constantly outdoors. However, Apple has made its iPhone face unlock easier.
Image Source: businessinsider.com
Apple Is Back
It has been quite a while since we have dived into news about Apple. It is true that every year, there are portions of time where Apple goes dormant. This is usually because they are working on something that might blow the public away. Last year, they kept hinting at something interesting and did not completely reveal it. Then, as the year was past the half-way point, we got to know all about the new iPhone, new Mac systems as well as other technological advances.
Yet again, Apple blew up and left its competitors in the dust. There is no doubt that their products have helped people with better accessibility and comfort over the course of usage. However, due to the face mask norm in 2020, people were unable to unlock their iPhones using facial ID. The mask, simply, was not detected. However, Apple has come up with a workaround for it.
The New Feature
The following feature can work only if you also have your Apple watch at hand. What happens is that, you unlock your watch and then hold the iPhone to your face. The phone will register the masked face and send a notification to the watch, allowing you to unlock the phone. While it may seem quite an innovative solution, it can be quite inconvenient for some users to always keep checking the watch.
It can even become a source of annoyance for them to continuously keep checking the watch every time they unlock their phone with a facial ID. This seems like quite an innovative and interesting feature that they have introduced. This shows that their development has not been slowed down by the pandemic. On the contrary, Apple is soaring quite high due to developments.

Bring Back One Thing
While this is innovative, it is reported that many people would also like apple to bring the fingerprint scanner back. It can be integrated into the new iPhone as part of the screen or even below it.
Nevertheless, we hope this feature only helps people and gives them easier access outdoors. 2021 is bringing quite a lot of surprises for us!
Technology can be a funny thing. It can lead you beyond your troubles and provide solutions. On the other hand, it can sometimes lead you towards trouble itself. Remember the time that one Samsung Note was released? Yes, we are aware many were released but there was one particular one. One of its highlighted features was that it overheated and exploded. Now that is an example of the latter type of technology.
However, the very next product was an immense success and Note 8 is regarded as one of the best notes out there. Similarly, Samsung has recently released another flagship product. This one comes from the other best series; the S series. The Samsung S21 is being regarded as an impressive smartphone. However, we must see, in detail, whether it beats its predecessor. This does not mean either is entirely bad, though.
Image Source: Forbes.com
Both Samsung Smartphones
The Samsung Galaxy S20 is considered as one of the most impressive phones of 2020. It features a beautiful display with a good screen size. It is not big enough to use with two hands and even fits well in the pocket. When it comes to camera, the 108 Mega pixel camera of the S20 Ultra is a force to be reckoned with.
Similarly, Samsung Galaxy S21 has recently been released. It is available in two variants, with good cameras and powerful processors. Yes, is definitely a phone that is worth a glance because of how much power it holds inside it. It even has an impressive display as well as a good build quality.
Which One Is Worse?
Now, we must have a comparison here. This comparison shall be done with S20 in contrast with S21. One thing that gives the S20 advantage is that its box has a charger in it. While Samsung did release S20 with a charger in its box, the Samsung S21 went Apple’s way. This gives S20 the higher ground.
Secondly, when it comes to RAM capacity, the S20 offers bigger options as compared to the Samsung S21. While this may not be an extremely huge difference, RAM does matter a lot in a phone. The difference in 8 and 12 can mean the world if the usage is high and applications are many.
Image Source: xda-developers.com
Some More Comparison
There are two more things to be noted here. The first is that Samsung S21 has a plastic body on the back. This not only defeats the purpose of a premium feel but leaves it prone to more damage. This shows, as compared to the Samsung S20 back, the S21 has it much worse. You do not want to drop this phone, it may be the last time you do so!
Finally, it is also to be noted that the S21 offers no additional storage options. So, once you run out of it on the phone, it is the end of the line. It is time to clear out more space because no SD cards can be inserted in the phone. While S20 does offer storage expansion, the S21 does not. After the above analysis, one can see which one is worse.

The one thing all chocolate lovers can probably unite on is KitKat. With their innovative way of presenting chocolates, they have ensured they have tapped into every kind of chocolate lover who could exist. But they just gave heart-attacks to some people who bought a pack of Kitkat Crisp Wafers. They couldn’t find the main ingredient, not the chocolate, the wafer.
They lost their cool! And, rightfully so.
Missing the essential ingredient
GIF Source: Tenor
I mean, can you imagine KitKat Crisp Wafers without wafers.
All over Twitter, people started sharing pictures of the disaster they have to suffer through; The aftermath of the unimaginable.
And it was not that out of four sticks, only one was missing the wafer; in fact, all four of them were just that, chunks of chocolates.
My @KITKAT has no wafer in it! All 4 sticks were like this 😂 I mean I'm not exactly complaining, they're still yummy, but if I wanted just a plain bar of chocolate I would have bought something else 😂🍫 pic.twitter.com/u1aS8oalSa
What they need to understand, though, is that this chocolate is not just chocolate. It is nostalgia for childhood, the need for a break, and just love for the people. Was anyone to want some chocolate, they could get any brand. But opting for this brand particularly means is that they want the chocolate wrapped in a perfect combo with the wafers.
They were quick to take their disappointment and hurt to Twitter.
They said: check out the ‘no wafer KitKat.’
Hurt aside; it’s a pretty catchy name.
KitKat Takes Notice
The brand took notice of it and tagged KitKat US on all the tweets they were tagged.
@KITKAT_US, looks like we've got a missing wafer over here! 🍫
From KitKat US’s response, it seems like there was a problem with some batches. But they are not even aware of it. To each and every tweet, they have asked the customer to DM them the UPC barcode and the manufacturing code.
Oh no! Please send us a DM with the UPC barcode and manufacturing code from the bag, Robert.
Ayeza Khan is a name known to all in Pakistan now. The actress has been in the industry for several years. However, her performance in Mere Paas Tum Ho has taken her to the next level. It seems now she is about to be debuted in a Turkish project. Could it be next to Esra Bilgic?
Misplaced Comments
Ayeza Khan’s recent comments on her husband evoked the ire of many people. However, the actress’s reputation has not been affected in the slightest as she may be on board a big Turkish project!
Secret Turkish Project?
According to several reports, Ayeza Khan could be working on a mysterious Turkish project. The rumors have erupted since the actress shared a boomerang on her Instagram story. It was captioned ‘Pakistan X Turkey’. Moreover, she can be also be seen sporting a mask with Pakistani and Turkish flags on it.
Image Source: Instagram
More Turkey Details!
The actress was also on board a flight, and it seems that she is flying to her destination. Khan also continued to share a picture with her fans from her hotel room in – what we are guessing to be – Turkey!
Image Source: Instagram
Could It Be MariaB?
It could very well be that the actress has been called to Turkey to participate in Maria B’s lawn campaign. Maria B is known for executing grand campaigns for all of her collections. The upcoming summer collection’s name is “Uniting Cultures,” which is reason enough for us to believe it’s with Turkey!
The two country’s friendly ties have only been growing since the PM recommended the show to the masses. Could it be that Maria B is starring Ayeza Khan next to a Turkish actress (from Ertugrul) for her collection?
Image Source: Instagram
Hints From Maria. B
The brand has been levying out hints that a “grand project” is about to take place. It can be confusing and all the more mysterious because there are two in the pipeline!
Adnan Siddique and Humayun Saeed are also working with the producers of Ertugrul to bring a jointly produced show to Pakistan. Moreover, now Maria B has shown she is determined to do the same. Which one could Ayeza Khan be taking part in?
The Tea Is Spilled!
Maria B’s social media then finally spilled the beans on the shoot. The photoshoot is to take place in Turkey. Moreover, two prominent celebrities from Pakistan and two from Turkey will model for the brand.
[Update]: Following the social media uproar on the deformed statue of Allama Iqbal, Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) have taken action. They have ordered that the statue be removed from Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park Lahore.
It was claimed that it was the local gardeners who had funded and made the sculpture. However, later it was revealed that it was the Assistant Director Horticulture and Deputy Director Horticulture who led this project. And now, both have been suspended for inefficiency and negligence.
Someone once said, “A nation that forgets its heroes will itself soon be forgotten.” And a nation such as ours that has been achieved after quite some struggle should definitely not forget its heroes. One way of giving tribute to heroes is by placing their statues in public spaces. Our national poet, Allama Iqbal, is among such heroes, the person who dreamt of Pakistan.
Allama Iqbal – The National Poet
If one were to trace his poetry, they’d find that in the beginning, his poetry was all about the unity of the sub-continent. But later on, he realized that for Muslims to get their own identity and flourish, they needed their homeland. Unfortunately, he could not live to see the founding of Pakistan. But his poetry is still cherished and loved. Aside from that, his poetry was also focused on motivating the youth.
The poet’s statue was raised in Gulshan e Iqbal Park Lahore. And it was not going to go ignored now, was it? But Pakistanis have outright rejected this statue because they find it deformed. There was sarcasm overflowing on the topic, and there was also criticism, and it may not be misplaced.
1. Arts Students could have done a better job?
Koi arts ka student bhi es sy behter mujasma bana sakta tha. Ye kahin sy bhi #AllamaIqbal lg rhy?
#AllamaIqbal ’s statue doesn’t surprise me at all … it’s in line with how we have deformed the country, it’s polity, it’s culture and ideology of its creation.
Removing it or not is totally the decision of the authorities, but some improvements can be made to the sculpture. The next move can be to hire a proper sculptor who can try and salvage the statue.

You have probably come across numerous pictures of Gwadar Cricket Stadium by now. The cricket stadium’s images instantly went viral a few days ago, which was perceived as a piece of heaven to play cricket on by most cricket enthusiasts.
The Indian Outrage Over The Praise Of Gwadar Cricket Stadium
Soon after the stadium’s pictures went viral, many Indians took offense and took it as an opportunity to brag about other cricket stadiums of the world with a view. There are probably many such cricket stadiums, but it’s interesting to see some Indians hold such resentment against Pakistan that they tried to take the attention off the new stadium.
🖼️ Show us a more picturesque sports venue than the Gwadar cricket stadium in Balochistan.
While ICC’s official account shared it as a generic post praising the beauty of a cricket stadium, many Indian hyper nationalists got triggered and started spamming the tweet with pictures of other stadiums.

While we love the enthusiasm of Indians taking the time out to share pictures of some of the best stadiums in the world, what makes it sad is that it took a tweet on ICC’s official account to downplay the beauty of Gwadar’s Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan and India have had a rocky relationship ever since both countries gained independence from the British. And this is not the first time that one of them tried to humiliate the other on a global platform.
Pakistani Host and public figure Fakhr E Alam also shared the stadium on his Twitter, which prompted South African bowler Dale Steyn’s attention too. And as expected, the tweets under it were full of abuses hurled by those who hold resentment against the country.
So Which Is The Most Beautiful And Picturesque Stadium In The World?
The fact that Gwadar’s stadium caught the spotlight does not take away beauty from other cricket stadiums of the world. Indians and Pakistanis have a hard time accepting each other generally. While there are numerous sane voices on both sides of the border, the few irrational, hyper-nationalists and politically motivated individuals resort to name-calling and bashing each other on social media.
The food fight will always be a phenomenon all over Pakistan. Karachi will boast about their biryani while Lahore will obsess over their Paaye, or you will see Peshawar crazy about their karahi. But what about Islamabad? If you are visiting Islamabad and are curious about what you should try, here are four dishes in Islamabad that you can give a chance to. And considering the city is clean and peaceful, it adds to the taste, so you enjoy the two folds.
1. Garlic Mushroom Toast
Butter, oil, chives, garlic, bread, and cream are all brought together in this one nutrient-infused dish that you do in this that the toast is either baked or fried in a pan. You put it all together, and you get a healthy breakfast dish that you can eat with your tea, coffee, or orange juice. It tastes great with any kind of beverage you want.

2. Cheese Naan
Aaloo Paratha, chicken paratha, we have heard it all. But the downside with all of them is that they are very oily. So even if you want to eat them, you keep thinking about the calory intake with the filling and the oil-soaked paratha. But here is the blockbuster. The cheese is loaded inside a naan, so there goes the oil. Now, all you have are the calories in the cheese. This dish can be eaten in lunch, dinner, or even picnics with any sauce that you want.

3. Chelo kebab
Saffron in rice fried with butter. It is served with lamb kebab that has to be marinated for 8 hours. With roasted tomatoes and lemon, it makes a very aromatic dish indeed, so give it a try when in Islamabad. Although if you are cooking it at home, make use of a non-stick pan; otherwise, it might all get ruined.

4. Chocolate paratha
Chocolate tastes great in any form you consume it. Be it KitKat or be it in a cake. What about a paratha, though? Well, why don’t you try it yourself at home? All the game is in making the dough. Instead of water, you add melted chocolate and milk to the flour. Knead it and roll out a paratha to cook with ghee if you want a healthy dish and not an overly oily one.

Be it innovative food like a chocolate paratha and a cheese-filled naan or a kebab dish, Islamabad has it best. Visit the scenic city, take a quick day trip to Murree and Nathiagali and end the day back in Islamabad with these fantastic dishes.

Afairy taleis a fictional story that may feature folkloric characters (such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, witches, giants, and talking animals) and enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. The term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in “fairy tale ending” (a happy ending) or “fairy tale romance,” though not all fairy tales end happily.
Advertising is a business of communication design and development where messages are conveyed to the masses through beautiful words and inspiring images.
Advertisements can be of different kinds, starting from print ads, online publications, commercials, and many more. Amongst these advertisements, a print ad is the oldest form. Though its importance has decreased in recent times, it is still used as an effective means for reaching out to a large number of audiences [basically consumers].
Characters of the fairy tales have engraved a special place in our hearts; we can relate to the fairy tales’ characters easily. This factor is often utilized by the advertising professionals [copywriters and art directors] to give shape to creative print ads and thereby share a beautiful and inspiring story. These have proven to be a very effective means of reaching out to the targeted customers.
The famous global brands from various business sectors creatively make use of the most famous fairy tales and their popular characters to develop the brand’s own story and come up with a message strategy [focusing on assertion, announcement, promise or claim] that hits the bull’s eye.
Have a look at the impressive collection of14 creative advertisements inspired by fairy tales. For students, I have specially mentioned the name of clients, product, and message strategy above each image. Enjoy and share it with your friends!

Every day, we see the release of news pieces that either shock us or send us through this wave of emotions. Whether you are living in Pakistan or abroad, the news platform is as active as ever.

The Cricket Spirit
Despite there being an enormous variety in sports, cricket is a favorite in Pakistan. You’d see the match being watched in almost every household. The spirit of it is so high that the game is often broadcasted in outdoor sitting places too! Whether it is the cricket world cup or the PSL, fans gather around and watch with enthusiasm. Speaking of, you must already be familiar with the teams that are part of PSL. It is one of the most anticipated events of the year, and people love it. One of the teams goes by the name of Peshawar Zalmi.
Javed Afridi owns the team, and he takes it upon himself to see the team’s wellbeing. In recent news, it seems that Peshawar Zalmi has welcomed Morris Garages, MG Motors, on board as a sponsor. This means that the team will be backed up with the works of the motor company. The news comes just in contrast with MG Motors getting greenfield status to assemble its vehicles in Pakistan.
What It Means
This sponsorship brings about a lot of advantages to the country itself. Firstly, the company is being extensively advertised and popular on account of sponsoring. A massive population of Pakistan watches cricket, especially when it comes to Zalmi matches in PSL. It would seem that Javed Afridi has had quite a trick up his sleeve. Not only does this sponsorship highlight the motor company, but it also shows that the team extends well beyond its boundaries.
Additionally, it helps the motor company attain yet another platform to showcase their industry. Getting Greenfield status in Pakistan is an impressive accomplishment. However, now comes the time to make sure that people know what MG Motors is. You might have occasionally seen their vehicles out on the roads here.

Morris Garage
Javed Afridi seems to have played a good move here, and we hope this flings his team higher than ever. We would absolutely love to see more PSL matches in the future. Hopefully, the team continues to score sponsors that are either on the rise or already established!
