Changan Alsvin

This is a vehicle which entirely new to the market. It has yet to be tried and tested, but it’s specifications give promise to a good car. Despite the name now being familiar, once we dive into the details, it can be seen that this car might ride in the same league as Toyota Yaris. Its pre-booking has started as well.

Toyota Yaris

This is a vehicle by Toyota, which took quite a grip on the market in 2020. At first, people were a bit doubtful as to what it delivers as a car. However, as time went by, and more and more reviews came to light, many of the audience came to appreciate this vehicle. By the end of this year, this four-door sedan had the most extensive sales number of the year!

Design

The Changan Alsvin is being considered the cheapest sedan to have ever been released in Pakistan. Like all four-door sedans, it has ample seating capacity as well as boot space. It has a 15cm ground clearance, with vented disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. It tops up a Kerb weight of 1120kg and is seen as a formidable vehicle.

The Toyota Yaris has front seats that are covered with fabric. You can say goodbye to back pains when going on long road trips in this vehicle. It has a soft suspension setup, which allows for a highly comfortable ride. This can enable the car to do well in certain off-road terrains as well.

Under The Hood

The Changan Alsvin comes packed with a 1400cc engine, which serves as the basic variant. However, you can upgrade to the 1500cc version of the vehicle too. The former is a manual transmission, whereas the latter serves as a 5-Speed DCT Auto Transmission. Its fuel average can reach 16-18 km to the liter, depending on whether it is the city or the highway.

Toyota Yaris is built with an engine that also comes in two variants. The first one is 1.3 Litre, and the second is 1.5 Litre. Its fuel average depends on which variant you’re going for. The former can give out approximately 14km to the liter, whereas the latter can go as high as 16km to the liter.

SBP Launches Consultation On Banking On Equality Policy – An Initiative To Increase Financial Inclusion Of Women In The Country

In order to address one of the key challenges hindering economic growth of Pakistan to its full potential, State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has launched a national dialogue on its forthcoming policy to reduce the gender gap in financial inclusion. Dr. Reza Baqir, Governor SBP hosted a webinar titled “Launch of Consultation on Banking on Equality policy: Reducing the Gender Gap in Financial Inclusion” on Monday, December 21, 2020.

The webinar featured an exclusive panel discussion around women’s financial inclusion with international thought leaders in the area of gender and finance including Princess Zahra Aga Khan, Director Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN); Ms. Ceyla Pazarbasioglu, Director of Strategy, Policy and Review Department, IMF; and Dr. Reza Baqir Governor, SBP. Dr. Anita Zaidi, President of Gender Equality at Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation moderated the discussion.

Deputy Governor SBP, Ms Sima Kamil made a presentation on the state of women’s financial inclusion in the economy and shared the features of the Banking on Equality policy. The webinar was attended by diverse local and international stakeholders representing public offices, international agencies, banks and associations. In addition, nearly 1,000 people also watched the webinar live through social media platforms.

Governor SBP, Dr. Reza Baqir, in his opening remarks said that improved gender parity in financial and economic opportunities can enhance overall socio-economic development outcomes of a nation, for not just the present but future generations. He noted that the event had three key goals. The first objective was to bring attention to the shared goal of reducing the gender gap in women’s financial inclusion.

The second goal was to share the content of the Banking on Equality policy that was being launched for consultation. Finally, the third goal was to get feedback from stakeholders on the policy itself. He welcomed the feedback that was provided by the international participants and others that would be provided over the course of next several weeks.

He noted that central banks in developing and emerging markets, where there are often market failures, have an important role to play in ensuring that important sections of the society don’t get left out from benefitting from the financial system through access to saving, borrowing, insurance and other financial products.

He said that the SBP looked forward to working with other domestic and international partners to further the cause of improving women’s financial inclusion. In this context he also appreciated the support being provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for helping advance SBP’s agenda on promoting financial inclusion in Pakistan.

In her presentation Deputy Governor SBP, Ms. Sima Kamil, noted that the gender gap in financial inclusion is rising. She noted that only 11.7 million, or 18% of the adult women, have active bank accounts compared to 51% for men.

Deputy Governor Kamil unveiled five key pillars of the Banking on Equality policy under which actions are targeted towards improving institutional diversity, product diversification and development capability, customer acquisition and facilitation approaches towards women segments, gender disaggregated data collection, and prioritizing gender focus in SBP’s policies. The policy recommendations will be applicable on all banks, microfinance banks, DFIs and EMIs.

During the panel discussion, Princess Zahra Aga Khan, Director AKDN, shared her views on how to make headways in the gender diversity landscape, and also shared her experience on what steps can make a difference. Ms Ceyla Pazarbasioglu, Director IMF, gave her valuable thoughts on the importance of gender diversity in financial service providers that can improve overall women’s financial inclusion in a country. She also shed light on key demand and supply side barriers that globally exist for women’s low financial inclusion.

Now, as the consultation process has commenced, SBP will conduct series of focused stakeholders’ consultation sessions with commercial banks, microfinance banks, women working in FIs, prominent female thought leaders, women chambers, women entrepreneurs and housewives to get more feedback. Based on the broader feedback, the policy will be further enriched. After the feedback is complete, the policy is expected to be launched in early February 2021. The draft policy is available at https://www.sbp.org.pk/events/2020/BankingonEquality/Draft-Policy.pdf

Haier Patents Its AC’s Innovative Self Cleaning Technology

Tired? Had an exhausting day at work? All you want to do is go to your room and spend some time relaxing in your bed. Unfortunately, you notice that the room is not cozy enough for the winters because your inverter is not working properly as you forgot to clean it. There is no need to worry anymore!

Haier has acquired rights to the exclusive ownership of its AC’s self-cleaning inverter technology. Awarded to the company by the Government of Pakistan, Haier has worked its way to ensure that the technology the company introduced to the market is not ruined and produced over a mass level without proper supervision. Haier took the initiative to make sure that all the products that reach its end consumers provide them with immense satisfaction and are hassle free.

What is Self-Cleaning?

The concept of self-cleaning technology comes from when dirt accumulates in the evaporator of the air conditioner during its operation. This dirty evaporator makes it easier for bacteria to grow and affects the quality of the air that comes out. This is where the Self-cleaning technology takes action.

By Cold Expansion Technology setting the best temperature and air circulation volume, moisture frozen on the surface increases by 30% than conventional models. This frost generates strong cold expansion force that easily strips off the dirt.

By the Express Washing Technology, especially designed foil increases the speed of the water flow by 20% allowing the dirt to be washed off effectively.

By the Anti-Bacterial Technology, the silver ion coating effectively kills bacteria up to 99.9% and inhibits its growth.

Benefits of Self-Cleaning:

The innovative technology effectively kills bacteria and helps to keep the air conditioner clean ensuring the air coming out of the air conditioner is clean and healthy for the human body.

The dirt on the evaporator lowers cooling capacity by 15-30% but this technology makes sure that full cooling capacity is reached and it is highly energy efficient.

Manual costs of cleaning the air conditioner are high which is why this self-cleaning technology is efficient and achieves lower running costs.

Customer satisfaction and comfort is one of the core values at Haier and our team works around the clock to make sure that our customers are happy using our products. Haier continues to innovate and lead the market with its efficient and economical products.

If you aspire to pursue your education and attain a PhD Degree in your field, you would definitely have done extensive research on what country or university would be the best for you. And since the UK is among the first world countries who have invested in their education for quite some time provides the best education in almost all fields. So getting to study from there is like a dream come true. And thankfully, numerous scholarships allow everyone to get platforms where they can at least try and attain scholarships.

Commonwealth scholarships

Commonwealth scholarship is one such platform. They only entertain students from low and middle-income Commonwealth countries, so being from Pakistan includes you in the list. The only trick is that your field should conform to these major themes.

  1. Science and technology for development
  2. Strengthening health systems and capacity
  3. Promoting global prosperity
  4. Strengthening global peace, security, and governance
  5. Strengthening resilience and response to crises
  6. Access, inclusion, and opportunity

HEC announcement

According to HEC, these scholarships are now open for PhD candidates to submit their application. The program is obviously based in the UK for the academic year 2021 onwards. They took it to their Twitter account yesterday, announcing the deadline as January 18th, 2021. The application has to be submitted through the HEC portal, so only those who have registered themselves at HEC will apply for it.

The elements that the scholarship cover are airfare, tuition fees, stipend (living allowance), warm clothing allowance, study travel grants, and paid mid-term visit (airfare) to your home country. If you are traveling with your family, they will also provide family allowances. So you can attain education for the next four years worry-free.

Here is an important detail, however. The candidate needs to submit two applications; one for the commonwealth and the other for HEC. Failure to submit even one will lead to disqualification of the candidate.

So best of luck!

5 Food Items That Are DANGEROUS If Not Cooked Properly

Food is life but can it also be death? Okay, that’s too dramatic. But yes, it can be dangerous. And you know what’s more pressing? That the food items everyone uses in their daily life, can be harmful to you. In fact, they can be dangerous for you. For instance, a possible outcome could be severe food poisoning. So below is the list of 5 food items. Go through them and let us know if you ever thought these would be dangerous food items.
1. Rice

Kachhey Chawal or raw rice is the favorite munching snack of everyone, be it teenagers or their mothers cooking rice for their teenage children. They don’t have a taste of their own, but for some reason, everyone who gets a taste of it can’t let it go. But that, my friends, is dangerous. Bacillus cereus is a bacteria that survives in dry temperatures, and as the rice packets are kept dry in the pantry, this bacteria often contaminate the rice. If you don’t cook them properly, they can cause food poisoning.

2. Raw Eggs

Now, you may think, ‘who even eats raw eggs when there are so many different ways of cooking them?’ There is boiling, frying, frying in different ways, or if you are a real desi, you will cook it with the typical salan masala. But yes, some people do consume eggs raw or semi-cooked. The problem is they contain salmonella that causes food poisoning, and can also transport the flu virus in you.

3. Live Octopus

You may say that you are safe from this food item because no one can eat a raw animal. But here is the thing. Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese do eat raw animals. In fact, they eat animals that are still thrashing about. But what makes them dangerous? The suction cups on the tentacles of the octopus.

4. Raw Milk

Everyone wants their kids to drink milk because it makes them strong. But if it is untreated, unboiled milk leads to several infections. This is so because raw milk and raw cheese contain listeria, E. Coli, and salmonella, which are very harmful to humans.

5. Chicken

Chicken is in almost 95% of our cuisines, and it, everyone knows, is dangerous if it is raw. But here is a fun fact, you may think that you have cooked chicken because it is not pink anymore, but it may still be raw. The best way to confirm your chicken is cooked is by bt checking the internal temperature. If it reaches 165 degrees, you are good to go. Otherwise, it may still contain traces of campylobacter and salmonella.

These food items are dangerous; this came as shocking news for us as it was for you. Tell us if you know of more food items that could qualify this list.

The IPG Group Bags Exclusive Rights For SCA T10

IPG

Singapore:  Singapore Cricket Association (SCA) has awarded the marketing and organizing rights for the SCA T10 Cricket to Dubai/Pakistan based Innovative Production Group (IPG). Five companies had submitted an expression of interest (EOI) after SCA had floated an RFP (request for proposal) for the sale of rights in August this year. The IPG Group has emerged as the highest bidder for the rights. This is the second major cricket league for which the IPG Group has bagged the rights after the successful Lanka Premier League (LPL) in Sri Lanka.

A virtual contract signing ceremony was hosted jointly by SCA and IPG Group in compliance with Covid guidelines on 16th December 2020 where SCA President Mr. Mahmood Gaznavi signed the contract documents on behalf of host Governing Body SCA in the presence of Deputy President Mr. Subir Ghatak, Vice Presidents Mr. Manesh M and Mr. S Santhanam, Hon. Treasurer Mr. Neeraj S and CEO of the SCA Mr. Saad Khan Janjua.

Watch the ceremony here:

President of Singapore Cricket Association (SCA) Mr. Mahmood Gaznavi said, “T10 is a great new dimension of cricket that represents the vastness of the audience. We have shown in the past that Singapore is the ideal host for this great sport with a history of hosting Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. I believe that Singapore is the ideal destination to bridge cultures through cricket. Singapore Cricket Association is ready to celebrate this great sport and looks forward to bringing our vision to life with the IPG Group.”

SCA CEO Mr. Saad Khan Januja said, “SCA is proud to bring the T10 cricket league to Singapore with a new essence. We have envisioned a tournament with the IPG Group, that encapsulates the spirit of cricket as we introduce the first-ever men’s team and women’s team format. We at the SCA passionately believe, achieving transition in alignment with modern trends to transform cricket to ‘CRICKETAINMENT’ and information to ‘INFOTAINMENT’.”

Managing Director of the IPG Group, Mr. Jawad Ghulam Rasool added, “The IPG Group will work closely with SCA and will always thrive to add value to the existing cricketing eco-system in Singapore.”

The 10-year rights bagged by the IPG Group include TV & digital broadcasting rights, production rights, franchisee sales rights and league management rights. This is the first T10 league where both men and women’s teams will be participating. The first year will have six teams in the fray and the number will be increased to eight teams from the third year onwards. The league is scheduled to be held in the second half of 2021 in Singapore.

Islamabad To Introduce Electric Train In Upcoming Safari Park

Islamabad zoo was established in 1978, but recently, it has gathered several people’s attention. And it has not been getting the positive attention one seeks, rather it has all been quite negative. Amidst animals dying, the poor condition they are kept in, or being taken away from the zoo to better countries and better places, the Zoo has finally had something good to look up to. The authorities are planning to install electric trains at the zoo.

Islamabad Zoo/Wildlife Safari Park

The zoo that previously housed Suzie and Kaavan is now going to get its own Wildlife Safari Park. This will become one of the tourist attractions built under the idea of a pollution-free amusement park. This is an initiative by the Ministry of Climate Change. In talks with a publication, the Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Climate Change discussed wildlife conservation and information center. The main goal, according to SAPM Malik Amin Aslam, was to spread public awareness on local flora and fauna.

And even without many animals that have been shipped away, the 10 hectares of land is home to many species that the tourists can learn more about. So these indigenous species will be protected in the conservation center.

This is a landmark news because, in 2018, 30 animals died in Pakistan when the new zoo in Peshawar opened.

Now that all the animals of the Islamabad Zoo have left and it has been closed for the public as well as the officials, the work to change it into an amusement park will officially start soon with an electric train taking tourists around the 10 hectares, probably more, of the land expanse. This will hopefully lead to a positive impact on the tourism industry of the country.

It has been a crazy year thanks to the rollercoaster ride TikTok put us on. See the best videos on Tiktok in 2020!

TikTok’s Rollercoaster

Whether you’re keeping in mind the fame it got when quarantine began, the moral questions it started giving way to, or the bans it has experienced, TikTok has done it all. But, we can not deny there have been some viral videos that even we were guilty of watching. Here’s our pick:

Bella Does M to the B

This girl’s TikTok is perhaps the single video that has become the most viral on all of TikTok. The video also launched Bella’s career as a TikToker and let us know about her history! Would you believe it that the most famous TikToker was a part of the US Navy?

@bellapoarchTo the 🐝 🐝 🐝 #fyp♬ M to the B – Millie B

Creativity Knows No Bounds

TikTok has become famous for its creativity. Trends often start from a single video and turn into inspiration across the platform, quickly spreading across with the help of hashtags, and subjects. Whether it was a dance, a new comedy format, or a recipe, these are the trends that took TikTok by storm in 2020.

@nevschulmanCome on guys… 🤦🏻‍♂️ #catfish #voiceeffects♬ A Moment Apart – ODESZA – Hannah Stater (she/her)

An Impactful Change

Throughout this tumultuous year, creators have used their platforms to spread awareness for social causes. Moreover, they have been advocates for marginalized and underrepresented communities and they celebrated the many cultures that make the TikTok community so special.

@drlesliePlease. Keep distancing, masking, and avoiding large gatherings. #greenscreen #COVID19 #Learnontiktok #tiktokpartner♬ original sound – Doctor Leslie

2020 was full of major cultural shifts and we have to acknowledge the role TikTok played in that. Here is an example of one such creator whose video went viral as they continue to risk their lives on the front line. 

Songs That Shape Us

The TikTok community came through heavily in shaping the soundtrack to our lives. This year saw songs transform into immersive, expansive universes that helped people pass the time at home. Moreover, aided by the creativity of people jamming out to dance challenges, transformation trends, and even comedy skits, many found the passion to follow their dreams!

Drunk Woman In Lahore Caught Assaulting A Police Officer

A situation involving alcohol, a woman and a police officer got out of hand in Lahore’s posh area yesterday. As disappointing as the event may be, it is sadly a routine.

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

Sources have confirmed that the restaurant was Gloria Jeans in which this incident happened although now reports are leaving out the name. A woman at said restaurant, in DHA, was consuming alcohol in public. Naturally, a police guard came and asked her to stop this activity as it is illegal too. 

To what effect did he stop her? She started abusing him! Not just verbally but also literally and there are videos that prove that.

See The Video For Yourself

What Action Is Being Taken?

The suspect got in the car with her friends after and left the scene. The restaurant has also reported that she heavily misbehaved with the staff of the restaurant before too. After the videos went viral, CCPO Umar Sheikh took notice of it and promised that he suspects would be arrested in no time.

Moreover, he applauds the said guard for not responding to the woman physically despite her misbehaviour.

The Elites and The Educated, Represent!

This incident occurred at the most posh area of Lahore, where restaurants are flooded with the so-called elites and the so-called literate people. Such is the state of such prestigious people, that when they are denied something, their privilege instructs them to start getting physically abusive.

If a guard ever stopped a woman from a lower economic background, do you think she would respond this way? Never! The woman responded like she did because she knows her ‘money’ and her ‘connections’ will help her evade accountability. If the leaders of this country can do that, so can she!

If The Tables Were Turnt

This situation is incredibly problematic also because of the fact that the woman felt she had a right to thrash the police officer. If the tables were turned and there was a policewoman who had stopped a male from something, would we accept the male hitting the female officer? 

The question remains: people need to raise their voice against this more loudly!

The fact that the guard in question was a male is not grounds to assume he can be hit. Had he responded, given the woman delivered the first hit, would we accept that? 

Let us know what you think in the comments below!

TikTok has been that one platform that has provided everyone with an equal opportunity to become famous. Now, while some people use their talent to get recognized, some people try other tactics. These tactics include having fake scandals, incidents, and even deaths. It does bring them in the news, they get followers, and then after some time, they seek social media to explain how it is fake news, and they were innocent in all this.

Adil Rajput Publicity Stunt

It hasn’t been much time really when Adil Rajput, a Tiktoker had adopted this strategy. He wanted to gain followers. His wife was a part of the hoax. She made a video as well where she was crying, confirming the news. It all fell apart when their fans started gathering around their residence and caught a glimpse of Adil walking around very much alive.

Naila Jutt, it seems, is following in the footsteps of Adil Rajput. Last week, a picture went viral of Naila Jutt, which claimed that she had passed away. It was circulated in the media with the hashtag #JusticeFornailajutt. And for some reason, such hashtags get viral instantly in our society. So for Naila as well, her picture, as well as the hashtag, became instant news.

Sometime later, Naila came back on social media claiming she did not know what was happening in the media and that her Instagram account had been hacked. She claimed that she was shocked, and she wanted to clarify to her loving fans that she was very much alive. But then some of her voice notes started making rounds on social media. In those voice notes, it was implied that she was very much a part of this plot. And her voice claims that it is an excellent way to increase fan following.

Have a look:

It is just extremely sad how people take the idea of death so lightly. And this is not to comment on whether this was religiously correct or incorrect. It is just about simple ethics. Do they realize how they played with their loving fans who would have been devastated because they genuinely loved their favorite TikTok star?

It is sad how people discount other people’s feelings just for some likes and comments. Will that ever change? Will they come to understand that there are some limits, some boundaries they should never cross? It’s a question only time can answer.

More and more auto companies are emerging in this evolving age of technology. Whether it is United Bravo or Proton X70, each of these vehicles is expected to deliver quite a plethora of features. With newer and newer models hitting the market, it does not come as a surprise to us that they have adequate price brackets. Being new to the automobile market, these vehicles have a goal to attract as many buyers as possible.

In light of this, even Changan has opened online pre-booking for the new Alsvin. The Alsvin is being considered the cheapest sedan available in Pakistan. If it delivers exactly what Honda and Toyota do, why wouldn’t people buy this too? So, in reference to new reveals, the Glory 580 Pro price has been revealed!

Glory 580 Vehicle Specifications:

The Glory 580 Pro is being seen by many as quite an impressive vehicle. It’s features and capabilities make it a worthy set of wheels on the road. Whether you’re seating your family inside it or taking a road trip with friends, this vehicle is a good buy. The Glory 580 Pro is installed with 5 doors, alongside a Kerb Weight of 1510.

It has a 4 Cylinder In-line engine with a 7 seating capacity. It is the ideal vehicle for traveling with family, friends, colleagues. Its fuel tank has a 58 Litre capacity. This means that you can drive on for longer distances without worrying about a low tank. The seats in the Glory 580 Pro are extremely comfortable so the driver doesn’t have to worry about back pain either. It can be quite unpleasant to step out of an uncomfortable vehicle after driving for hours on end.

The Price Reveal:

All that said, this must be what you’re waiting for. The price of the Glory 580 Pro has been revealed. With all the impressive specifications this has, the price seems quite a good bargain. With cruise control, climate control, defogger, fog lights as well as rear-seat entertainment, this vehicle has it all.

The price of the Glory 580 Pro has been revealed to be Rs.45.5 Lac. For a 1500cc SUV with flagship features and a premium feel, this is quite a reasonable price! Check out further reviews and details online because this vehicle seems like it will go a long way.

A Worthy Investment?

The Glory 580 Pro offers an automatic transmission with a max speed of 240. It has yet to be seen what mileage the vehicle gives here. If it has a good fuel average, it is bound to be the perfect SUV package. A good average, an ample fuel tank as well as enough room for people? How is this not a bargain even before the price is revealed.

Since the company is quite new in the market here, we are still yet to see how it will flourish. We hope the company continues to rise through the ranks and establishes itself as one of the best vehicle brands in Pakistan. Maybe we see a Glory 580 Pro in every region in Karachi!

In regards to the Pre – Booking of the vehicle, you can check out the procedure on Daraz.pk. The delivery of the vehicles will take place from April 2021.

Ali Zafar Reacts On Meesha Shafi Being Exposed

Ali Zafar reacts to Meesha Shafi
Image Source: nation.com.pk

There are quite a lot of scandals and news that erupted in social media every day. They can be often seen between celebrities and even between a celebrity and a fan. There are some actors and actresses who are known to not treat their fans nicely. Then there are examples like Keanu Reeves, Tom Hanks, and Emilia Clarke, who treat their fans like royalty. Of course, it is because of the fans that the personality has seen a rise in their careers.

It is crucial to them that their people support them. Similarly, there have been clashes between celebrities as well as allegations. Some have turned out to be true, others have been redeemed as false. The absolute truth is what the involved parties know and the twisted version is what is sometimes displayed.

One such case that has been going on for a while is the Harassment allegation against Ali Zafar. After Meesha Shafi came forward, some more women followed suit. Now, Ali Zafar has tweeted in response to an Alleged Exposure of Meesha Shafi.

The Two Sides

It is of utmost vital for an authority to evaluate both sides of the coin. Meesha Shafi came forward with an allegation. The authorities involved, the investigators, have no reason to question the victim’s motives or reasons. In law enforcement, it is taught that, whatever the victim is telling you, you have to treat it as the truth. Not believing the victim, first and foremost, is a hint towards a botched investigation.

Then, this whole event became quite viral due to outrage from both sides. Ali Zafar fans claimed he was innocent and referred to the other side with some unsanitary remarks. Meesha Shafi’s fans claimed she really was a victim in this. The ‘Me Too’ term was also used during this time.

Alleged Exposure

From a video released by ‘Pakistan Observer’, they state that proof has come forward about some illegal ongoings. The video says that Meesha Shafi’s lawyer, Nighat Dad, has been involved in doing some allegedly illegal work under cover of the organization that stands with ‘Me Too’. The #metoo movement has a solid standing because it stands up for the right thing.

Ali Zafar has responded to this news, as you can see above. He states ‘Unbelievable’ and follows that by the use of the ‘Me Too’ hashtag. Now, one can say that this is a misuse of the hashtag because the context that’s being used in is not what it was meant to be used in. There are a lot of murky waters surrounding this case, but the truth cannot stay hidden.

Pursuit Of The Truth

The involved parties know who is at fault in this entire case. It is advised to you not wholly adhere to an opinion unless you know both sides of the story. If an organization has been allegedly exposed, it does not mean that the initial allegation is wrong. These are two separate incidents.

That said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and is allowed a voice. It is urged that you make the best possible decision with the resources you have. Taking no sides only helps the oppressor!

People Are Questioning Zara Over Its New Line

Zara with new line
Image Source: harpersbazaar.com

There are three known categories of business that are always recommended. Of course, there can be losses and profits in any kind of business, but that doesn’t mean that the business itself is bad. Food, Clothing, and Property are three of the best business areas that people can invest in.

This applies to clothes, especially, due to the fact that our culture is heavily driven by new clothing lines and wardrobe options. However, like strange food combinations and oddly built houses, the clothing lines can have similar combinations too. With that said, people are questioning Zara over its new line. What can they be talking about?

Zara

This is one of the most well-known brands out there. Whether one is looking for summer attire or winter, one can be considered a viable option. Their wide range allows them to dip into a substantial fraction of the clothing market. They do photoshoots for new collections, and their sales are also a driving point for their products. The most recent photoshoot that comes to mind is one where they loosely reference a romance story.

However, the most recent news has people puzzled. They have, allegedly, released a new line that is not sitting well with people due to it being slightly strange. One can see whether it has an application or not, but they are still trying to figure out what it really.

The New Line

The newest line by Zara, as you can see in the tweet above, shows a most peculiar article. They seem to be seated sleeves that can be worn over other attires. However, where people expect there to be full uppers, the attire just ends at the sleeves. Where is the rest of it? Why is this article resembling a shoulder holster?

Additionally, it’s interesting to note that the price tag on the clothing line reads $30. That is approximately Rs.4, 800/-. The writer of this article has seen more clothing lines costing less and having more to offer. Twitter, amidst all this, has exploded with a plethora of humorous tweets and replies to Zara. Whether it is praising the line or just talking in good humor, the platform has it covered. Check out some of them,

What now?

There is one more point to note in all this. One of the tweets, as you’ll see below, state that this design is being considered a knockoff. A knock off of what, you ask? Well, they are claiming that it allegedly copied Alexander Mcqueen. So there comes another coat of peculiarity.

A lot of the internet people are simply asking ‘Why?’ after observing Zara’s new line. We hope that Zara has a solid marketing plan in mind after this new line. Here is another fun thing to see before the year is up!

5 Reasons Why Pakistanis Should Explore their Own Homeland First!

pakistan tour

Summer is that time of the year when you want to escape your routine life and just run away to another part of the world and seek adventure.

However, the current state of Pakistan’s economy and the rupee’s present standing against the dollar makes travel very difficult. Globetrotting has become a luxury not many can afford.

But then again, why do we only consider flying and touring across the world when Pakistan itself is such a beautiful travel destination? It’s a shame that so many Pakistanis themselves have never considered exploring their own homeland.

Pakistan is a great summer destination that’s affordable and a great way to spend your vacation.

Shahid Afridi Discourages Pakistanis From Traveling Abroad

Here are 5 reasons why Pakistan should be your next travel destination:

1. It’s Comparatively Affordable!

It’s easy on the pocket as a lot of local travel and tour agencies offer amazing packages for you to avail of. The same amount in which you might only be able to afford a visa or plane ticket to an international location can be the same that this will cover food, accommodation, transport, and plenty of awesome activities in Pakistan.

2. Cultural Diversity

Pakistan has four provinces and each has its own culture, traditions, dialect, and palette of food and art. So, even if you are a Pakistani, there’s probably so much you do not know about your own people or country. There are so many languages to learn, delicacies to taste, music to enjoy and communities to explore.

3. Natural Beauty, Adventure, Thrill, and Extreme Sports

Pakistan is full of breathtaking spots that will make you fall in love with this country all over again. It is a paradise for those willing to explore.

The northern areas of Pakistan are famous for the sky-high mountains, lush green valleys, mighty rivers, beautiful lakes, and fascinating wildlife.

If you’re a mountaineer, a rock climber, a paraglider, river rafter, or any other sort of extreme sports athlete, you’d love to explore this part of the world as it offers all kinds of activities that’ll give you an adrenaline rush.

4. The Local Bazaars

There is a flourishing market culture in Pakistan with a number of market places in every city and district, offering something unique.

You can stop by for a conversation with the local shop owners and find out interesting details about the place and particular purchases. This land is a haven for handmade handicrafts and local organic fruit and other edibles that are not available anywhere else in the world.

5. Break the Negative Image and Witness Heaven on Earth

Pakistan is a hidden paradise, yet the perception of the country has always been ‘dangerous’ and associated with terrorism, extremism, and corruption.

Before convincing the rest of the world, we Pakistanis need to be convinced ourselves. And the only way to do that is to pack our bags, hit the road, and get ready to explore.

It’s time to highlight the positive image of the country and to generate awareness among the people.
