[Update]: PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) has suspended the social media platforms in Pakistan today. This service suspension started at 11 am and will go up to 3 pm. These social media apps include Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and Telegram.

The interior ministry informed a local news channel saying that PTA has suspended the services. They have not disclosed the reason behind it.

Mobile Data Services Suspended In These Areas Of Karachi

Given a particular party’s lash out at current affairs, there were nationwide strikes. People reacted by doing dharnas and traffic jams. Karachi also faced a lot of traffic jams. While in other cities such as Lahore, the situation is still very much the same but for Karachi, it has subsided a little from the first of Ramadan. However, the precautionary measures by the Government of Pakistan are still in place. They announced that mobile data services will be suspended.

Mobile Data Services Suspended Notification

The notification for the suspension of services was released and it includes a list of areas in Karachi that won’t be facilitating mobile data services. It also mentions that these areas, a two-kilometer radius, will not get mobile data until there is an update on the matter.

The areas mentioned in the notification are:

Baldia Town and Hub River Road
Powerhouse Chowrangi North Karachi
Star-gate and Shah Faisal Colony (4)
Korangi 2 1/2 No & adjacent areas
Tower & II Chundrigarh Road
Hassan Square and NIPA Chowarangi

If you are anywhere near these areas, you might need to opt for alternative ways of utilizing the internet. That said, in other areas the internet (mobile data services) is working fine.

Automotive developments are becoming more and more common these days. Whether it is moving towards the electric era or releasing newer models, the development is in motion. Among the many new things being brought to market, the Honda Civic is one of them. Honda has just revealed the visuals of the post-production model of the 11^th generation Civic and it is a marvel to look at!

When we first saw the 11^th generation sneak peek, it was in a slightly different outlook. The color back then was shown in an orange shade with black mirrors and grille. A lot of people had a lot of praise for the vehicle and everyone was anticipating it. Now, the company has decided to disclose more details on the vehicle, and a slightly changed look after the prototype.

Civic and robust quality

If you are aware of the Honda vehicles, you must have heard of the Civic. It is one of the signature cars of Honda and it gives quite a lot to the driver in exchange for the investment. When the civic first came out, it gave quite a lot of people a whole lot of thrill. The drive was so stable and smooth alongside the hard suspension. Additionally, the lower ground clearance gave it better acceleration and less drag. Now we have the 11^th generation Civic on our hands and we still have much to see in that model.

The new car that has been revealed is the post-production model. The body design is slightly different and the mirrors are the same color as the car. Additionally, it is also being shown in a less aggressive color than the prototype. Honda has yet to reveal a lot of the specifications but we have some information with us right now. Talking about the engine capacity, two variants are expected to appear.

Some details

The first is going to be a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine and the second is going to be the 1.5 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. While the capacity is clearly greater on the first one, the turbo gives the second one more power and an edge. The transmission is expected to be 6-speed, but it remains to be seen whether there will be a manual variant or just automatic ones.

Civic Being Born Again

The entire view of the vehicle gives off a sports vibe. The previous models have also been known to fall under the sports vehicle domain and this one is not proving any different. The reason that people prefer buying a Civic is that it offers a lot of options under newer models.

For now, we are not entirely sure of the price of the car but it is expected to reach about Rs.34 Lac. This seems like quite an investment and, given the vehicle history, is sure to pay off. We hope Honda brings us more vehicular developments as well as innovations.

It has often been noted that a nation cannot progress without education. You may have the most ferocious weapons or the scariest arsenal, but you cannot move ahead if there is no education. Long gone is the time of civilizations that used to thrive on warfare and ordnance development. Our esteemed Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has just launched a new programme intended for the educational development of youngsters!

If we look at Pakistan with respect to other countries, it is relatively new on the map. However, this has not stopped its development by a huge margin. While progress has been slow, there have been many initiatives to ensure progress. Under the tenure of PM Nawaz Sharif, a laptop scheme was introduced where youngsters were given laptops. Similarly, there is a new scheme in town which goes by the name of ‘Rehmatul-Lil Alameen scholarship programme’.

Schoalrships being given by Imran Khan — Image Source: alleducationschools.com

Education From Imran Khan

As we have already discussed, the need for education is quite high if one intends to move forward in life. You may see scientists making breakthroughs and newer innovations after lots and lots of research. This may not have been possible were it not for education. So, what exactly does this programme bring for youngsters?

Since education can be quite expensive at times, scholarships can be extremely helpful. This is highly useful for non-government universities. Up till now, we are aware that this programme, by Imran Khan, stretches to at least more than 100 educational institutions in Pakistan.

The programme will help provide scholarships for undergraduate students who don’t have the means to pay tuition fee. It has been reported that about Rs.24 Billion has been approved for the scholarship programme to give to students. These are students who are in need of it. Punjab alone has had more than Rs.1 Billion approved for similar development.

Progressing Ahead

There are quite a lot of things that are beneficial for Pakistan, through this programme. Firstly, it shows that the country is willing to provide education. The government is not making it difficult for students to learn something. Over the next five years, this amount will be spent, divided on Rs.5.5 Billion per year on 70,000 scholarships.

The PM has also stated that no nation can progress without the development of education. Whether it is the science sector, the medical one, education is extremely vital. We hope that a lot of people are able to benefit from this programme We also hope they are given opportunities to polish their skills. After all, Pakistan has quite a few personalities who have done quite a lot for the world. It is possible for one person to change the geography of the world. This is considering they have the knowledge to do so.

It must also be noted that practical knowledge and hands-on experience is just as important for the growth of an individual as education.

Lexus Shows The Extent Of Damage One Can Do In 4.6 Seconds

By

Apr 15, 2021

In the time when having a car has become a necessity, a must-have in the routine lifestyle, you cannot shy away from it. That said, even though people own the car, they fail to realize the responsibility that comes with it. Every year, so many road accidents occur mostly due to the driver’s negligence as they shift their focus elsewhere. Lexus highlighted this in their new ad.

Lexus New Ad

In a new campaign, the auto brand decided to reveal to people how deadly them being distracted can be. And it is important because people think they are very good at driving so they can afford to be distracted.

So for this experiment, Lexus asked a few individuals to test drive a car. They were asked if they look at their phones when they are driving. And almost all of them said that they do for probably a second or two. But here is the thing, according to research, people remove their attention from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds.

What can happen in 4.6 seconds!

These people were brought to the new car, in a driving arena that was laced with traffic cones, model strollers, mannequins, statues of children, and fake walls. All of them were confident that they could drive the car without much problem. And they were all doing pretty well until the highlight of the experiment kicked in. The windshields and windows went from transparent to opaque for 4.6 seconds. And in that, all hell broke loose. The car hit almost every model placed in the arena.

When the participants exited the car, they looked around at what being distracted while texting can lead to.

Distracted Driving Awareness Month

This initiative by Lexus is a direct result of April being the Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Seeing as how chaos can ensue in 4.6 seconds, this experiment was extremely impactful for the participants at least, who saw the potential destruction first hand.

People need to realize when they look at their phones they are not partially distracted. And in those 4.6 seconds, so many variables can be introduced to the road. So even if they reach out for their phone after surveilling the road conditions, the objects on the road in the next 4.6 seconds can change. It is this realization that we need to incorporate as drivers in our lives to ensure a better future for everyone else.

Nike To Sell Gently Worn Sneakers At A Value For Consumers — image source: https://www.eventige.com

Thrifted, reused, recycled all means of reusing a clothing product or an accessory promotes sustainability. A lot of brands are slowly jumping on the bandwagon by introducing materials that can be recycled. As a result, reducing the load of landfills in the oceans and dumps. Nike, another clothing and accessory giant, has introduced a service where they want to resell the used and worn-off sneakers. The company is promoting the use of thrift products to reduce consumer waste.

Nike’s Contribution To Sustainability

Nike has figured that its customers are gradually becoming more environmentally conscious. Such consumers are bound to question the retailers who do not have sound sustainability practices in place. Nike has always put its customers’ interests first, which has been the basis of all its marketing strategies. This time too, the company is doing the same.

To date, more than 75 percent of all Nike shoes and apparel contain some recycled materials. The company is continuing to explore new business models to extend the life of its products while remaining kind to the planet. Over the next five years, Nike plans to reduce their carbon footprint by increasing its use of environmentally preferred materials to 50%, as well as decarbonizing its supply chain.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new venture.

The Oregon-based company issued an official statement that they will clean up gently worn, like-new, or imperfect sneakers by hand and resell them ‘at a value for consumers‘. The sale will be made at certain Nike stores. However, to qualify for refurbishment, the sneakers must be returned to Nike stores within 60 days of purchase.

“Up to fifteen U.S.-based stores will carry Nike Refurbished footwear by the end of April 2021, with plans to integrate more of this product at additional U.S based stores in the coming year,” Nike said in a statement.

Nike plans to continue and explore further expansion of the program in the International market. The refurbished sneakers will be sold at a lesser price compared to other products offered by the brand.

A Recent Controversy

A few months ago, Nike was under the radar for selling Nike Air Max 97 sneakers which allegedly contain a drop of human blood. The sneakers sold out at $1,018 a pair and were a product of collaboration with Lil Nas X.

This Pakistani Student Has Been Exposed For Allegedly Harassing Girls

Apr 15, 2021

A very courageous person, a Pakistani student, decided to expose a serial harasser and people are rooting for them.

The Person Exposed

A Pakistani student by the name of Haseeb Leghari has been continuously harassing girls. The person who took to Twitter regarding this shared all the details pertaining to the harasser and his victims.

This guy is named ‘HASEEB LEGHARI’. He has constantly harassed Girls of my college (Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental College) since 1st year! Ofcourse He got blocked multiple time but that didn’t stop him and he began Making fake Id’s and again abused and harrased them pic.twitter.com/PuNpmbbJwP

— freedom (@samstrandingoff) April 13, 2021

Leghari has allegedly been harassing several girls from Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental college. He has shown the same behavior with multiple girls. Once blocked, he creates a new fake ID with which he continues to emotionally abuse and harass girls.

The Horrifying Messages by Pakistani student

As you can see, all the girls he was messaging have blocked him even though he has created a different ID for each. Moreover, how troubling and disgusting are those messages? We can’t empathize enough with the girls who have been experiencing this.

I need help from Twitter. Pics are posted for proof. It’s indeed an Alarming situation. Please help me spread this message to create awareness of this guy under hash tag. Retweet as much as u can! #punishhaseebleghari pic.twitter.com/OZWlLbLnzZ

— freedom (@samstrandingoff) April 13, 2021

What Has Been Done?

When the girls got together and lodged multiple complaints against him with the school administration, he started retaliating. Haseeb Leghari has now started threatening the girls who lodged the complaint. Moreover, he is also wrongfully accusing the teachers and abusing them.

When Multiple complaints were filed against him to the college’s Discipline Authorities he began to retialate. And yknow what was his retialation? He started fake allegations and abuses against our most beloved and respected TEACHERS (The nerve of this fucker)

— freedom (@samstrandingoff) April 13, 2021

Teachers have started receiving death threats because they tried to protect the girls from him.

HE’S GIVING DEATH THREATS TO OUR TEACHERS!!!! By putting fake allegations against them!! For what? For they were trying to stop u from harrasing Girls!!?
(I’ve attached proof. Ofcourse Name is hidden due to privacy concerns) pic.twitter.com/B3uoJBjpM1

— freedom (@samstrandingoff) April 13, 2021

Height of Blatant Misdemeanour

The screenshots posted by the Twitter user keep coming in and they are all worse than the previous ones. He is continuously telling girls “he needs them” and that he likes them and wants to marry them.

This is a third-year student at a nationally recognized institution. Clearly, he needs professional help and needs to be kept away from girls.

The State of Affairs

This is not the first time students in an educational institute have been rendered helpless and unsafe at the hands of harassers. In this case, the girls have managed to protect themselves as much as possible. Moreover, they also managed to keep the “proof”.

Matlab aap dosron ki Maa behn ko jitna marzi tang Karo aur jab woh apki shikaytain lagayein to aap unkay khilaf fake allegations bna lo aur death threats do? Wtf? A true psycho indeed!
P. S : He’s currently a 3rd yr student! pic.twitter.com/lPD2XzZ6ge

— freedom (@samstrandingoff) April 13, 2021

What if in the same scenario the girls had not kept the proof or deleted the chat? The sad truth is that majority of them would not be believed. Instances and events like this only ingrain in us the importance of believing a woman when she calls out her harasser.

Haseeb Leghari is currently still a student and he believes he can also treat faculty the way he treats other students. We’re hoping justice can be served in this case: the harasser is given the treatment he deserves.

Once Again, Amna Ilyas Video Proves To Be Offensive To Many

Apr 15, 2021

Amna Ilyas is not only known for her modeling but also for her straightforwardness, no matter who gets targetted. Just last year, she had mocked a skin whitening brand ad featuring Ayeza Khan and well, it was truly hilarious. Around that time, she was also involved in wedding rumors with Dawar Mahmood.

Amna Ilyas Videos

Recently, she makes it a point to upload short video clips on her Instagram account that she labels funny. One of them would be where she pretended to be broke in a high-end restaurant. Another one was where she was dancing and Nimra Khan appears midway. The most recent one, however, got the most backlash as a number of people found it offensive.

In this video, Amna Ilyas is driving down the street when she sees someone. She stops and calls that person, ‘sexy’; that too, very loudly. The man who we see first is someone dressed casually, wearing glasses, and has his shoulders slumped. He gets excited at the comment assuming it was for him. But then, upon looking around he sees another man, posing like a model right behind him.

A post shared by Amna Ilyas (illy) (@aamnailyas)

Netizens react

What she might have thought funny, people didn’t agree so much. In fact, they were offended. They called her out because they found her to have double standards. Her video, as is clear, objectifies men, and just recently, she had called the PM out for some of his alleged views on a similar topic.

They also said that if it was a man making a similar video only with two women, people would have called this harassment.

Not only that, some memers were also offended because they didn’t like how poorly she had executed it. They requested her to not delve into a field that is not hers.

While some people did find the video funny, it does seem distasteful and considering objectifying anyone is bad, Amna should not have made fun of them.

Pakistani Men Share Why They Can’t Propose Their Girls

Extravagant proposals left, right, and center have made some men insecure. Falak Shabbir’s elaborate proposal and Yasir Hussain’s proposal at an award-show created a lot of hype. The question was raised on Twitter: men, what’s stopping you from proposing like this? And it’s safe to say that the responses are nothing short of hilarious.

Men Get Real

A girl shared a picture of Falak Shabbir on one knee with the fireworks in the background— opulent, right? However, the caption of the photograph triggered the discussion. See all the responses that came under it!

The Truth Behind The Answers

Previously when we covered the struggles of an MBBS student, we stumbled upon something relevant here. A lot of male MBBS students shared that the reason they were pursuing the robust degree was that the respect earned from it gets you rishtas.

Imagine having the concept of rishtas so ingrained in your mind that you inevitably choose a degree according to it. That’s, unfortunately, a product of our society today. Many hinted at self-esteem issues by saying they weren’t attractive enough. Or better yet, their significant others were not attractive enough… yikes!

Others laughed about the same old cultural restrictions. The funniest was how the proposal must not only be to the wife but to her dad, her mother, her family! We hear you all.

The truth is that real life is seldomly like that of such celebrities. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a 1/10 chance that you’ll be able to propose or get proposed to like that. Moreover, the obsession with the “proposal” is part of a Western culture that the majority of people in Pakistan don’t follow.

Jump On The Bandwagon

The question “what’s stopping you from becoming like…” is the latest trend on social media platforms. The videos or discussions which become a part of them have a way to make us clutch our stomachs laughing. Recently an Instagram video went viral in which a guy kept bringing carefully curated meals to his girlfriend. The caption was the same as the tweet, and the replies were just as hilarious.

Love it or hate it, almost everything today is going to become a meme. Sociologists are looking deeper into this phenomenon as the problem of “meme-ification” in our society.

What’s stopping you? Let us know in the comments below!

Meet Bisma Khan – Pakistan’s Youngest Self Made Millionaire

By

Apr 15, 2021

Self Made Millionaire — Image Source: Brandsynario

Remember Danish investing in Shahveer’s company and then becoming a millionaire. He did make a calculated decision after he heard inside info from those workers. Not cool, Danish! But yeah, mostly when we hear about a sudden self-made millionaire, it’s usually due to stock market ups and downs. And while that also requires brains, some old fashioned work to become a millionaire is also widely appreciated.

How Bisma Khan became a brand

You can see such a case in Pakistan’s very own Bisma Khan. Instead of going into stocks, she invested her time in what she is good at. She started doing her own business. The whole thing started with a mere PKR 6,000 that she gathered during eid. Through that money, she bought some oils, and through her recipe mixture, she created Magic Hair Oil. Remember, this is all happening at the young of 17.

BK Drip, BK Care, BK Foundation

Employing her youtube channel, which had some following and her excellent business mind, she was able to profit from this small establishment to create her own company with the name of BK care. Following the success of BK care, Bisma also introduced BK Drip, her clothing line. The clothing brand also went on to be successful enough to pay her A-levels fee, which we all know is quite a lot.

The BK companies also include BK Foundation, which helps the underprivileged, so a percentage of her earnings goes to that foundation. All in all, with BK Care and BK Foundation, Bisma Khan has made quite a name for herself, and we appreciate her.

Looking at the life of the self-made millionaire

The appreciation increases by manifold when one hears about what she has been through. Bisma, at the age of 17, witnessed her parents’ separation. However, she decided to convert what she felt from that into her business, and we can see the fruits of her efforts very clearly. Now, at 18, Bisma Khan is rocking with her own company and excelling at her work.

But does everyone have a similar business mind? No. But it also doesn’t mean that everyone has to become a millionaire. All we can do is make the right kind of decision and not succumb to distractions that kids at this age are prone to. Take a leaf out of Bisma’s book and have a positive approach. Because life may throw lemons at you, it does at everybody. You just have to decide to make the shikanji with it. And wh know, you may be the next self-made millionaire.

Sarah Khan and her husband Falak Shabir have left their fans worried after Falak posted a picture of Sarah in her stories. She is lying in a hospital bed connected to complex hospital equipment and is also wearing a face mask. Falak has added a caption, “She is unwell.”

Sickness and pandemic

Images such as these are scarier in recent times given the pandemic. Moreover, not only is the pandemic gaining a hold once again with its third wave in Pakistan, but the couple had also been travelling to Turkey where people from the majority of countries were coming due to almost no restrictions.

A post shared by Mrs.Falak (@sarahkhanofficial)

So they were already facing the danger of being exposed to the virus. But hopefully, it is not covid that made her this unwell. Because if it is, then we also know that there are varying degrees of intensity of the virus. And considering, she is attached to all sorts of wires, then it doesn’t look good.

We wish that she gets better soon and that it is not COVID she has gotten.

Since then, fans are worried for the actress ‘s health.

We wish our beloved Meeral/Zohra aka Sarah Khan quickest recovery.

While the world may have fallen prey to a pandemic, progress is still taking place. Be it the domain of automobile, technology or medicine, advancements are still being made. One could not have imagined that the Covid-19 cure could have come by so fast. Now, with the vaccine being circulated, another drug is on the market. It is oral and antiviral in nature and is said to be a good cure.

Who would have thought that they would come across a pandemic in their lifetime? Despite years and years of progress, it is understandable that no one could have predicted this. While it is true that our history is full of deadly viruses, we did not expect it to take place so soon! Where people used to gather in huge crowds, silence began to gather.

Crowded places became somewhat of a myth as people realized that the transmission was through the air. Covid forced us indoors and there wasn’t anything that anyone could do about it. Despite all the hardships, life still bloomed. It began to emerge in the form of indoor activities.

Another Drug Hits The Market

After much research and hard work, a vaccine came into being. The race towards a vaccine was definitely a rough and hard one, with a lot of countries taking part in it. Never, in the history of the world, has there been a vaccine development this fast. However, now it seems that there is a new drug in town. It is oral in nature and is said to cure Covid in a matter of days! Can this really be true or is this another scheme intended to cash out a lot of money?

The drug is known by the name of Molnupiravir and it is said to be administered in safe doses. After a full dosage has been given, it can allegedly eliminate the Covid virus within a matter of days. American drug companies first developed this drug with the intention of battling SARS and MERS. The drug has been known to work with viral configurations that are similar to Covid-19.

Testing Continues

In phase II clinical trials, the drug was tested among many patients. These were people who were already exhibiting Covid symptoms and for more than a week. Within 5 days of administration, 100% of the participants had tested negative for Covid. How is this not an impressive achievement? It is true that 100% is difficult to achieve due to real-life obstacles. However, it must be noted that these are clinical trials and there is still much to be done.

Scientists have said, based on these results, that the drug can be quite useful against the virus. The oral nature means that it can prevent symptoms from reaching a severe stage. While we still have quite a way to go before completely eradicating the virus, it seems we are on the correct path. Who knows, maybe we get to see more and more medicinal developments before the year is past the halfway point!

Summers are approaching fast, or rather have already landed as we start gorging on watermelons! If your creative juices are flowing, pun intended, here’s how to enjoy watermelon in a way you have never before.

Have You Heard of a Watermelon Soup?

There’s a new dish in town and it’s actually the most bizarre combination of two things worlds apart. If you’ve heard Katy Perry’s lyrics, “you’re hot then you’re cold” then you should know you are in familiar territory. Say hello to a soup made from watermelons and the best part? It’s spicy!

This fruity soup can be the perfect answer to a refreshing drink in the summers if you’re tired of mint margaritas and rooh afza!

Ingredients You Need

To make this innovative soup, you are going to need a watermelon that is chopped and de-seeded. Then you will need ginger-garlic paste, some mint, chilli flakes and olive oil.

Many of these are regular pantry ingredients so if you’ve got everything, enjoy your Iftar today with this.

How To Make The Soup

Begin making the soup by first sautéing the ginger-garlic paste and the chilli flakes in some olive oil. Make sure the quantity of the olive oil is not a lot because you don’t want your soup oily. Then set that aside to cool.

Next, you must puree the watermelon and the mint in a blender until completely blended. Make sure there are no lumps of watermelon in there. Then proceed to add the watermelon puree into a medium-sized saucepan with the ginger-garlic and chilli flakes mixture. Let that simmer until it thickens to the consistency of your liking. Season well with salt and pepper and then chill for 1-2 hours before serving.

To serve, add the soup, garnish with a tiny bit of olive oil and some mint leaves. Keep in mind this soup is not to be kept for storage as the watermelon can start macerating.

Bizarre Food Combos That Work

Although this may seem bizarre, this spicy watermelon soup has quite a fan following. Imagine making this for the next iftar and everyone getting obsessed with it! There’s no harm in trying something new.

Didn’t we all jump on the ice cream and fries/shake combo? Keep in mind that one of the most favourite breakfasts – peanut butter and jelly – actually started as a bizarre food combo!

Netizens Can't Stop Praising Ushna Shah's Latest Picture — image source: www.samaa.tv/

What women should and should not wear has been the debate of the century. In our society, a piece of clothing tends to make or break your character. A strong, opinionated society always seems to find a way to talk about someone else’s apparel choice. However, sometimes we tend to see a different perspective or response from the public. Recently, the comments section of Ushna Shah’s latest picture is full of loving and caring messages and comments, and we can’t help but wonder. Is this world finally a better place?

Ushna Shah’s Latest Picture On Instagram

Recently, Ushna shah posted a picture from Makkah where she was wearing an Abaya with a Hijab. The picture is captured while performing the Umrah. In the caption, Ushna prays for our society as a whole to be more kind, to be more empathetic, and to be less judgemental.

Response from the Netizen’s

Ushna Shah’s latest picture seemed to get a very positive response from the netizens. Her comment section is filled with all the lovely dua’s and wishes for her. However, this makes us wonder if the situation would be the same if she had posted a different picture of herself.

This is the kind of response everyone should be getting on social media. Criticizing and bashing someone be it celebrities or random people should not be our priority as a nation. We rise by lifting each other up and posting nasty comments and criticizing someone’s personality does not make us any better.

As she mentioned in her caption, we as a nation should find more reasons to be empathetic, to be less judgemental, to be able to accept others for who they are, and to be kind enough to humanity.
