Samsung’s S21 Rumoured To Not Include A Charger In Its Box

Image Source: rprna.com

Recently, Apple released a new product at its online-only event. It came as quite amazing news when the iPhone 12 was revealed. Alongside the phone itself, there were certainly more reveals. One of the biggest was the presence of a total of four variants of the iPhone 12 itself. Apple even mentioned a significant drop in prices as compared to its predecessor.

However, one lacking in their entire setup was the absence of a charger and AirPods in the box itself. Now, due to this, Apple became the subject of a wide range of memes and trolling, including its competitor brands. So, is there a rumour circulating that Samsung’s S21 is set to be released without a charger? Can this be the truth?

Following the inevitable

Samsung was one of the front line representatives when it came to mocking the charger-less iPhone 12. There were numerous tweets from various users too. The social media division of the company even released an image saying that they do include a charger.

So, is it possible that they are now following the same set of rules that Apple has laid down? There is a known history of this happening. Apple comes out with some over-the-top idea that brings about whispers and hush. Suddenly, next year, everyone is doing it.

There was even a tweet that foreshadowed this particular news. It had replied to Samsung’s jab at Apple. The reply stated that Samsung will jab Apple, then pull the exact same stunt next year.

What exactly is the rumour?

The rumour began on October 27th, 2020. It speculated that Samsung’s S21 also intends to release a phone without a charger. It was further rumoured that there would be no earphones in the box either. Previously, Samsung did charge extra for the fast charger but they included the basic one in the box.

Maybe they are pulling the same stunt for environmental reasons. Was Apple’s decision correct? Despite all the memes and trolling, it seems flagship competitors are following the same example as Apple. Samsung’s S21 is still a rumour, though, some are stating it could be called S30. Nevertheless, it is kind of ironic of them doing the same thing that they were mocking. Kind of puts a glint of light on ‘If you can’t beat them, join them’ , doesn’t it?

Future Prospects:

So what does this mean for the future of Smartphones? It would seem that it is actually helping the environment to not include chargers and earphones. Apple stated that it is to reduce electronic waste. Samsung, however, has made no statement or comment on the rumour.

Maybe now it can begin to become a norm to save the environment in this manner. It is recommended that you save your older chargers or get them repaired. You never know which company decides to follow the same strategy. Then, all you’ll be left with would be a phone without charge, a brick.

Let us see how future events unravel with reference to this news!

There’s No Age For Talent?

Areeka Haq just turned 18! Yes, you’ve heard that right. So before that, while she was rising to fame on TikTok, she was either 16 or 17. At that age, many of us just sat in front of the TV and binge-watched our favorite shows. But then again, zamana badal gaya hai.

A post shared by AREEKA (@areeka__haq) on

It is indeed hard to believe that someone who has garnered so much following on several social media platforms just turned legal. It truly is. It just shows ultimately that on social media, there really is no age, no field, or no experience required to be successful. You have to be different, or you need to know how to jump on the bandwagon!

Pakistanis Had A Hard Time Believing Her Age

Only the obvious happened when we directed our attention towards Areeka Haq’s comments. Under the post in which she shares that she just turned 18 are some hilarious questions asked incredulously. See them for yourself!

What Does It Take To Become Famous on Tiktok?

Here we ask the million-dollar question— what does it really take to become famous on Tiktok? We have Jannat Mirza, who just reached a staggering number of followers, Ali Khan, who also had many followers, and now Areeka Haq. These are just some of the most prominent names; there are way too many fish in the sea.

What these three have in common is an ever-present mood to put themselves out there. Plus, a lack of total inhibitions when it comes to social media. Constantly recording yourselves, all decked up, and then editing that content is not easy. These people did it, and now they’re reaping the benefits!

What Comes After?

After many become comparatively successful, they start getting requests for sponsorships. Companies who want to gain clout amongst the youth or focus on a group of people present on Tiktok approach these famous people. The sponsorships can be substantial.

Next comes PC gaming (The master race) and finally, we have Handheld gaming. Handheld is considered different from mobile because Handheld focuses solely on gaming.

So, who is the Titan of the handheld gaming industry? That’s right, you know the name! It’s Nintendo! Standing for decades now, Nintendo remains top tier go-to for handheld gaming. It releases new products occasionally, with elaborate games as well as stylish design.

Nintendo Switch: Old Glory

Nintendo has a too creative marketing strategy. This strategy makes its products extremely valuable. The Nintendo Switch is a device that features state-of-the-art technology as well as the next generation of gaming. It is the future of handheld, and its controller is something to be marveled at.

The design of the controller is extremely unique. One of the most outstanding features is that the controller, Joy Con, is divided into two portions; the left one and right one.

The Left Side

On this side, usually denoted by the blue color, it has the ZL and L buttons. It also includes the left strick of a traditional controller. All of this is topped off with the standard set of directional buttons. It is also accompanied by a capture button for in-game screenshots. Use that to save all your fails and funny moments!

The directional is more suitable in head to head fighting games such as Injustice or Tekken. The joystick is more preferable for smooth movement in open-world games.

The Right End

This is the second end of the Joy-con Nintendo Switch. It is denoted usually by a red color. If one notices, the combination of the two is actually the coding Nintendo as always used in its products. It features the ZR and R keys, which are equivalent to the R1 and R2 keys in the PlayStation. Additionally, the alphabetical keys like A,B,X,Y are placed on this side alongside the right joystick.

Finally, the right Joy-con has a home button for easy navigation mid-game.

Looking For The Best Laptop In Pakistan That Will Suit Your Needs?

The demand for Laptops in Pakistan has been increased over the last few months and is regularly growing. Students belonging from various educational levels, starting from Grade 1 to up to the University level, and people from different working groups are in dire need of a technology that can handle their everyday tasks and their professional work efficiently. Moreover, this fact cannot be denied that the demand for laptops has been increased rapidly in the quarantine period where work from home and online lectures was a trend and a necessity.

When the quarantine phase started to set up its roots in this nation, the first thing people started to figure out was the way to get their professional work back on track. Most of the firms began to develop a strategy called ‘Work from home,’ Where they preferred to let their employees work from home and perform a variety of tasks online.

Apart from mentioning the quarantine period, a laptop can prove itself a useful invention in several ways. Like other electronic devices, laptop plays a vital role by helping its user ease their daily tasks, providing aid in doing projects, presentations, etc.

A laptop can be small and compact enough to carry around but are versatile enough to run your demanding applications. Whether you are at the home, in your educational institution, or your office, a laptop can be your tech buddy anywhere you want.

For precisely defining the audience of a laptop, it can vary in many ways. This classification is based upon the type of people who are looking for a laptop. People out there are classified into three main categories.

The first category consists of the people who need a tech companion for their everyday tasks, projects, assignments, etc. It is not much of a big deal, and almost any laptop can handle it.

The second category comprises of the people who specifically want their laptop more than just a companion. They want their machine to perform various tasks, which can include heavy ones as well. Varying from simple projects to complex coding and video editing, they need the best one in the market.

The third category can be defined specifically for gamers. Yes, gamers! They can be allotted to a distinctive variety as their focal point of buying a laptop is to run big AAA titles in it. So to satisfy these type of audience, the laptop brands mainly focuses on designing the laptop which can bear heavy graphics load, has a broader body with adequate ventilation to minimize heat issues and can give them an edge in one battlefield.

Other than the categories mentioned above, different people mainly prefer a single type of aspect. Some people need better specs on their laptops while others look for better display. Some require a light, sophisticated, and decent laptop while others look for heavy chassis and adequate ventilation.

When you finally decide what you want for your laptop, the next step of this process which can come into your mind is hunting for the perfect one. By hunting, I mean buying the best one which will suit your needs.

Buy a Laptop in Pakistan

As I mentioned ‘hunting’ as for buying the laptops, I mean no less. The process of buying the best laptop in the best category is no less than hunting for a deer in the wild. Things spice up more when it comes to preferring a specific vendor who can give you the best price for your machine without compromising its genuineness.

Finding a suitable vendor with the best price tag can be classified into passive hunting. However, the primary hunt for a perfect laptop for yourself starts from choosing the right brand for it.

For your ease, we have compiled a list of three significant-tech manufacturers and highlighted their specific qualities, their pros, and cons in detail, so you may get a better idea about what exactly you are looking for.

Dell Laptops in Pakistan

Dell is a tech company based in the United States and was founded by Michael Dell in 1984. The main reason to cover this part of history is to make you realize how old this company is in this field and how deep it has its roots under this tech field. Dell can be classified as one of those tech giants which excels in every electronic device related to computers. This streak continuous when it comes to their grip in building laptops. The laptops that are manufactured by Dell are known for their solid build and power-packed chipsets.

Apart from having these qualities, Dell laptops are highly customizable as well. Dell’s users can easily upgrade their laptops throughout time. Whether it’s RAM, Hard Drive, or any SSD addition, dell can provide you with the easiest yet the best customizing solutions. Dell usually targets every type of laptop market they can cover in this world. That’s why they offer both Intel and AMD chipsets in their machines.

Talking about the lower range of laptops offered by dell, they come with dual-core processors with the RAM compatible enough to handle its processing power. However, the higher-end laptops come with the quad-core and octa-core technology processors installed in the higher-specs laptops and gaming machines.

Apart from mentioning the processors, dell uses both NVIDIA and AMD graphic chips in their machines. They both perform significantly in their respective fields and have a good track record.

Apart from the hardware used inside the dell’s machinery, it comes with a unique, reliable, and robust build, making Dell stand out from its competitors. The laptops under the dell umbrella are durable, well-manufactured, and highly functional rather than delicate and a slim laptop to ensure maximum user satisfaction. More construction and physics can be seen when it comes to the higher range of dell laptops. For example, the Alienware laptops and XPS range machinery are a pure solid-build that gets them aesthetically pleasing.

HP Laptops in Pakistan

HP stands itself as a one-to-one rival to Dell. Started by William Hewlett and David Packard, this brand emerged from a mere car garage and is now generating billions and is one of the most popular laptop manufacturers worldwide. HP laptops are pretty much known for their delicacy. They produce laptops with sleek, stylish, and delicate builds rather than a reliable and robust body, making them only eligible for one-hand use.

When it comes to having the most features, HP still gets the upper hand. It provides a larger number of features as compared to its other rivals.

When it comes to performance, HP never dissatisfies its users and provides a more potent version as compared to its rivals. HP has been centered mainly on design work like Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. which enables HP to be an excellent multitasker.

Styling comes with a unique touch in design, and HP conquers the grounds in this category. HP never compromises its styling and provides its user with a sleek and premium experience while using them, unlike dell, which gives a solid build touch.

When designing the best laptops, HP steals the show with its innovative yet simple designs. Its Spectre x360 series was in the spotlight for so long against the famous surface laptops from Microsoft. The AMOLED displays of the HP spectre series are incredibly vibrant and bright, pleasing to the eyes and providing the best display solutions amongst all its rivals. HP now has worked on slimming the bezels even more and came up with more attractive displays in its new HP Spectre series.

One of the top-notch facilities, which gives HP a significant edge over the other laptops, is its reliable customer support. Mainly all laptops come with three years of warranty along with the most approachable customer support. Aside from the phone and email support, you can reach them via their social media accounts as well. There are also many tutorials available on YouTube, which can help you further.

Lenovo Laptops in Pakistan

To stand out from its rivals, Lenovo comes with a comparatively versatile approach and manufactures reliable and stylish laptops. Lenovo is better famous for its affordable range of laptops.

Lenovo is an intel-centered brand that mainly focuses on manufacturing laptops with Intel processors and Intel integrated HD graphics. They mainly focus on keeping their machine around an affordable budget. Hence, you may not expect much from it.

The primary factor which distinguishes Lenovo from Dell and HP is its battery. Lenovo usually uses a 6-cell battery, making the laptop last longer and provides a relatively good battery life than its rivals. Having a long-lasting battery is a necessity these days, and it seems like Lenovo has a good hold over it.

One of the main selling points of Lenovo laptops is their prices. If you are focusing on getting a budget-friendly laptop, you will have a hard time beating Lenovo on this. Although other noticeable brands can even provide more cheap machines in keeping the quality as well, Lenovo can be your number one choice.

Talking about lower price does not mean that Lenovo is ready to sacrifice in terms of quality. Lenovo was voted as the best laptop brand of 2019, which means you do get a pretty solid deal when choosing Lenovo over other brands. A stunning example is Thinkpad’s range, which is generally much impressive in specs, quality, and performance.

If you are looking for a good laptop in terms of build, performance, and budget, then Lenovo will be the series you are looking forward to.

Conclusion

All these three rival brands are no less than the best, and the competition among them is very tough. It’s quite hard to choose the best brand for oneself as almost all of them offer the same set of specs in a particular price range. There is not much of a difference in price and quality, and it all ends up being equal to each other.

The main difference lies in the type of specifications that you are looking for on a laptop. It depends on whether you are looking for a professional task handler or a heavy hitter gaming laptop. You will eventually find the best of them in all these three brands.

To provide the best vendor solutions, it is advisable to make your purchase from a well-renowned store like Paklap.pk as it offers the best quality laptops in the best price range and hence, confirms its place as the leading online laptop store in Pakistan. Shopping Online at Paklap may be your one-stop solution to all your tech needs

Lahori Pays PKR 4.5M Just To Register His Lamborghini Huracan Spyder!

Lamborghini Huracan Spyder
PC: Express

The province of Punjab has just received its most expensive registered vehicle yet – a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder!

The Punjab excise and taxation department on Monday registered the most expensive car in the province’s history, priced at Rs115 million.

The car is reportedly a sports variant of the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. Moreover, the registration fee for this beauty cost the owner a whopping Rs4.532 million, which had been denied earlier.

The reason is that the department’s system could only register cars priced below Rs100 million. However, the plan was then upgraded for such expensive vehicles so that they could be officially registered.

The Huracan Spyder belongs to a certain Syed Arjumand Bukhari s/o Ramzan Ali Shah belonging from Phase 8, DHA Cantt, Lahore. Before the Spyder, the most expensive registration was crowned to the Mercedes GT Series (PKR 3.5M).

In 2018, Kunwar Moeez Khan’s 18k gold foil Lamborghini Aventador S arrived in Islamabad and made headlines.

The property tycoon shared that “More than a hundred million rupees had been paid to the government as duty/taxes on this car. It has been imported… from the UK.”

Lamborghini Huracan Spyder 

According to PakWheels:

“The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder comes with a 5.2L engine, and it is famous for its unique bold and sporty exterior. The car has specially designed wings at the front so that that car can reach its maximum speed easily.

“This is the reason this car has an aerodynamic smaller front and a bit wider back. Furthermore, it has parking sensors and air intake vents at the front,

“The car comes in three driving modes, i.e., Strada for a standard drive, Sport, and Corsa (for track race).

PC: PakWheels

“One of the exciting features of this car is height control. You can increase it by pushing a button on the console. This feature can drive this vehicle on Pakistani roads without hitting its underbody with speed breakers and potholes. However, after the speed of 60km/hour, the car will come back to the original height to increase the car’s stability and traction.

“Furthermore, the company claims that this beaut can go from 0 to 100mph in just 3.2 seconds!”

HEC Refutes ‘Fake News’ Regarding Closure Of Universities

HEC
Image Source: Facebook

HEC rejects the Fake news circulating on social media that it has announced the closure of universities in the light of reemerging COVID cases.

In the beginning, when COVID started spreading worldwide, countries started going into lockdown mode. And in lockdowns, businesses and educationals institutes alike closed or shifted online. For months, the situation remained like this. While people learned to accept that this was the new normal, they also experienced many obstacles of the lockdown. And hence, before the lockdown lifted, they were looking forward to the country reopening.

New Normal

And the new normal was finally here. The country started reopening, albeit a little differently. There were SOPs to follow and guidelines to maintain. But at least the situation looked a little brighter. COVID was still here, but most people were responsible. And so we saw educational institutes shifting back to their original model of education, the brick, and mortar model. But the new normal was not going to last.

First of all, most people were sure to be responsible, but others were not. Even after so many deaths, they refused to believe that COVID was a reality.

Secondly, as researchers have found out, there would be another, more dangerous wave of COVID once again.

Finally, although the hot temperature does not kill off the virus, in colder climates, the virus thrives. And so the upcoming winter was going to pose a threat.

COVID 19

HEC Fake News

As expected, the COVID cases started resurging. And lesser expected, they could infect the recovered COVID patients as well, this time fiercer. So within 24 hours, when Pakistan saw 707 cases being reported, they assumed that the country would go into lockdown mode once again.

In trying to be one step forward, the public started circulating fake news on social media about HEC. They said that HEC had announced the closure of universities and so everyone should stay home. Now the fake news may have started because some of those people wanted authorities to take action in light of COVID once again, or it began as a prank. But the fake news got intense, and HEC had to diffuse the rumor themselves.

HEC Responds

HEC stated that:

“There is no direction from HEC for the closure of universities. Each institute will decide to operate or close as per its specific situation.”

So while it may come as sad news for those looking forward to some time off, tough luck, follow SOPs for COVID or not, one has to study.

Rosie Gabrielle’s Pup Sports Pakistan’s Flag & Social Media Is Furious!

PC: Rosie Gabrielle

A recent picture of Rosie Gabrielle has hurt many people’s sentiments. The picture shows her puppy, Winston Sirchill, sporting the national flag around his neck.

This gesture has upset many individuals who had called the influencer out.

Gabrielle, in the post, had shared that she is back in Pakistan, and this time, her decision to come back is permanent.

In the picture, we see her pup wearing a bandana like cloth that reads ‘I love Pakistan.’

https://www.facebook.com/RosieGabrielle/photos/a.351375065201192/1290951707910185/

The influencer was so inspired by the countrymen that she herself had converted to Islam not too long ago.

She decided to move to the country that helped her during one of her most difficult times.

She writes in her post:

I’m Baaack!!!!!! SURPRISE!

it seems I loved Pakistan so much, I had to return But this time, instead of traveling across the country, I’ve decided to base myself here Indefinitely!

And this time I didn’t come alone, I brought my sweet little angel boy @winston.sirchill 
Who is equally excited to be here and have some new adventures with mum!

Social Media Reacts To Rosie Gabrielle’s Picture

Here’s how social media reacted to Rosie’s picture:

Social

She clarified in a statement that just like humans, her pup is also a creature made by God and that he is worthy enough to bear any flag. She says that he is wearing the national flag on his heart and that he is doing nothing to disrespect the flag.

Her statement reads:

To anyone who has an issue with my sweet angel wearing the Pakistani flag….

my dog is a beautiful angel and creation of God, and has all worthiness to wear this flag and ANY flag.

It’s next to his heart- which is the same beating heart that is in your chest and mine, which is the same organ of love that God created each and every BEING to have.

So WHAT is your problem exactly?

If you do not treat all creatures and beings as equal to your self, if you think that anyone or any animal is less than you. Then YOU are not practicing true HUMANITY we are taught. You are not being a humble servant.

This is an HONOR for my dog to wear this flag. I love my Winston more than anything, he is like a son to me. And if anyone offends him or myself by continuing to say such things, I will just ban you.

And the fowl language and choice of word you use to bash me, only show your true heart and colors. You are only embarrassing YOURSELF and making a fool in front of the word and giving a bad name to Pakistanis.

So on behalf of the entire Nation, spare yourself for the sake of their imagine.

This is not the first time an influencer has hurt the sentiments of Pakistanis. Social media has called out the nation-wide famous Eva Zubeck.

Dressed in a green kurta shalwar, wearing Pakistan’s national flag, the foreigner performed the ‘KiKi challenge’ inside and outside a PIA plane in an attempt to promote Pakistan’s tourism.

Moreover, Pakistanis even called out Chinese nationals for insulting the national flag after a video showing the Chinese standing on a car with the flag on the car’s body went viral.

Angry and furious, social media called on the government to send these ungrateful CPEC engineers back to their country.

Valorant To Unite Gamers In Pakistan In A 6-Month Long Program Worth PKR 2 Million

jazba cup

Karachi, 25 October 2020 – South Asia’s leading esports company NODWIN Gaming today announced the first Valorant tournament under the Jazba campaign, supported by Riot Games, for Pakistan. Jazba is an umbrella banner that will have invitationals, tournaments and community-driven activities for a span of 6 months. The campaign boasts a massive prize pool of 2 million PKR. The registration for the first Jazba Cup tournament has gone live yesterday and will remain open till the 10th of November.

Right after Riot launched game servers in Bahrain to service players in the Middle East and Pakistan, there was a huge surge in engagement and excitement in the region. Quickly after its release, Valorant made it to the charts as a fast-growing First Person Shooter (FPS) PC online game of 2020. This encouraged NODWIN Gaming South Asia to develop an extensive plan to kickstart Valorant esports for the Pakistan gaming community.

Valorant has hit the ball right out of the park with ease. There is an x-factor about this game that no other FPS has managed to crack. The servers in regions like Bahrain and Mumbai were set-up in no time, so that gives a massive boost to a huge gamer base in many countries. Our friends at Riot Games have done an exceptional job in laying the groundwork and now our plan is to bring in some key competitive experiences to players here. Pakistan is a vital point in our South Asia plans and Jazba is the first step towards that.”, said Merlin Wiedeking, CEO, NODWIN International.

 

As a part of the Jazba campaign, the Jazba Cup will have tournaments open for the whole of Pakistan. There will be 6 tournaments spanning across a period of 6 months and each tournament will have a separate registration window. The teams can re-register and participate in multiple tournaments if they couldn’t make it to the top in one tournament.

NODWIN Gaming aims at grassroots level development for Valorant in Pakistan with engaging community activities and tournaments.

Matches of the first tournament will go live on 12th November and can be watched on NODWIN Gaming South Asia YouTube channel.

A Masterpiece For The Photography Geeks: Infinix Zero 8

Infinix zero 8

Cameras in smartphones have come a long way over the last few years. With features that have greatly improved the quality of images produced by smartphones, they are pushing the boundaries of phone photography. The best camera phones are often capable of delivering better results than the ‘proper’ camera in your bag, and work as the perfect package of convenience.

This brings us to the smartphone in question – Infinix’s latest offering, the Zero 8 which has only recently been launched in Pakistan. The Infinix Zero 8 packs a host of impressive specs, and produces images with great color and dynamic range. The 64+48MP Ultra Night Camera with IMX686 Sensor is the main highlight of Zero 8 for us.

The master composition and quality levels enabled by the FHD full-frame front + rear camera by simply tapping the screen create an awe-inspiring sense of presence. However, it’s the rear camera setup that is the main talking point of this device. There’s a lot crammed into Infinix’s camera, but there’s one really important point. You point; you shoot, and get consistently good results.

Look at the Magic of the Nightscape legend – night photography taken to the next level!

The detailing of each image is outstanding. Each shot is sharp, bringing out just the right colors.

Zero 8’s camera added a lot of character and soul to these everyday objects. Who knew that candles, fairy lights, and spices could look so magnificent, regal, and opulent? We didn’t, but we are stunned and amazed beyond compare for sure.

The 64MP HD Ultra Night Camera captures ultra night pictures. It helps to level shadows and highlights in exposures; it is impressive because it isn’t too aggressive, so you get good results with little effort. The RAW algorithm helps to restore the night scene to the maximum and delivers amazing images at any angle, even with the backlight or at night. Quality-wise the Zero 8 is up there with the best of best.

All in all, the state of the art camera setup on the Infinix Zero 8 is exquisite, loaded with some great additional extras offering both stills and video capture at high definitions. Infinix Zero 8 brings killer new features to the fold, but as a device that’s long been top of its game, it continues to show considerable strengths.

4 Fail-proof Ways To Build Lean Muscles & Lose Weight

Getting lean is difficult but there are many who start this journey. Be it for reasons for improved physical performance to better health to better looks, it’s all-important. It’s not always easy to get rid of that stubborn belly fat — or any fat, for that matter, as you can’t “spot reduce” just your belly fat.

Should You Be Using This Guide?

This guide is aimed at those who have been exercising regularly for at least a few months and who already eat fairly healthy. If you’re looking to break through a plateau and speed up the fat-burning, lean-making progress, this is your calling.

1. Lean Your Diet

The key is to cut out the junk food and other treats (except for maybe 1-2 cheat meals a week). Also, cut back on grains for a little while and focus more on lean protein, veggies, fruits and good fats. With a diet like this, you’ll get lean faster.

2. Interval Workouts 

There are tons of great interval workouts that can speed up the process of losing fat. One of the most famous one’s – Tabata Intervals — are basically 20 seconds of intense exercise, then 10 seconds of rest … and repeat those intervals 8 times. That’s a total of four minutes — a great workout in a short amount of time.

However, it’s important to not overdo it at first. Also realize that if you do intense intervals, you will probably have to cut back on the duration of the exercise.

3. Heavy Weights

If you normally do strength training, but only do bodyweight exercises or do high reps with lighter or medium weights, try increasing the intensity. Do this gradually, over time, as you don’t want to overdo it at first.

lose weight

Shoot for 3 sets of 5 reps with a heavier weight, for each exercise you do. This will help you to build more muscle and increase your metabolism.

4. Metcon Workouts

These are usually workouts that combine strength training with cardio at high intensities. Generally, they’re 20 minutes long (give or take 10 minutes), and they use a combination of exercises with no rest in between. Crossfit is the ultimate expression of this philosophy — typical workouts include doing four rounds of 400-meter sprints and 50 squats (as fast as you can) … or 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats (as fast as you can).

With this guide, you’ll be on your way to your goals with much more clarity!

PM Imran Makes Ali Zafar Ambassador of Pakistan’s First Knowledge City

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan made Ali Zafar an ambassador of the First Knowledge City in Pakistan.

Pakistan has several higher education institutes. The programs available at these institutes are beginning to offer variety, and they are not just related to Engineering and Medical but also arts, architecture, history, and much more. However, such institutes are available in the main cities of Pakistan. And hence, this remains inaccessible to the residents of remote areas of Pakistan.

Namal Knowledge City

To end the marginalization of these communities, PM Imran Khan intended for a center of academic excellence, which he would call a knowledge city. During the groundbreaking ceremony of phase 1 of Namal knowledge city, PM said that the project would make quality higher education affordable for the talented youth. And such a step is essential for the country because quality education makes a society more tolerant and progressive.

In this ceremony, the Prime Minister was informed about the immediate results once the first phase is completed. According to those stats, the knowledge city will benefit more than 10,000 youth after the first phase. And more importantly, the project will be environmentally friendly. PM’s goal was to have an international standard institute, the inspiration of which came from his alma mater, Oxford. And so he thanked all the sponsors for donating millions of dollars for the cause.

During that ceremony, he announced Ali Zafar’s ambassadorship.

https://www.facebook.com/ImranKhanOfficial/posts/5466148110094231

Ali Zafar as Knowledge City as ambassador

Ali Zafar, the renowned singer, and actor has not only worked extensively in Pakistan but also has made a name for himself in the neighboring country. He has been appointed as the ambassador.

He said in a tweet:

“Honoured to be nominated ambassador to the first & biggest knowledge city in Pakistan “Namal Knowledge City” envisioned by the honorable Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI designed by @tonyashai. Knowledge is key for the development of a country and its people.”

The project worked for quite some time, considering PM Imran had talked about it in 2005. The vision was of a knowledge city that houses a variety of departments located in a scenic place. The knowledge city would spread for miles with a lake on one side, Salt range on another, a road that can take one to Islamabad or Indus highway and remote areas.

Let’s just say that Ali Zafar is ending the year with more positive news; he won the harassment case, and he became the knowledge city’s ambassador.

Apple Watch Series 6 In Tough Competition With Fitbit Sense

Competition is a huge part of success. Without there being a rival, one may not be motivated to achieve their absolute best. Pepsi came out after Coca Cola, which motivated them to be where they are at today. When Ferrari kept winning the Le Man’s circuit, Ford made its first racing vehicle to show them otherwise.

Similarly, Apple has always been in some form of rivalry in one place or another. It’s iPhone goes toe to toe with the latest Samsung releases. Its AirPods are in direct conflict with Galaxy Buds. Similarly, the Apple Watch Series 6 is in serious competition with the Fitbit Sense.

The Series 6:

The Apple Watch Series 6 is one of the top peaks of Smartwatches in 2020. The features it offers are so state-of-the-art that there are few that can rival it. It has an FDA-cleared ECG placed in it. This means that you track your heart movements will always be accurate. They have not kept a lot of room for compromise and have gone all-in. It even has better LTE outreach if you need to use your watch without the phone being nearby. It also has the ability to track your blood oxygen levels and keep an eye on your sleep schedule.

Additionally, the Apple Watch Series 6 also has a fall detection feature. This means if you’ve taken a hard fall and are unconscious, the watch will alert medical authorities. Our pulse goes down a notch when we lose consciousness so the watch is able to detect that immediately. It has comfortable wear and features a button on the side for access.

A Fitbit Sense

This is one of those products that are able to give the Apple Watch tough competition. It also features an In-Built ECG as well as a comfortable strap. One does not want there to be indentations on the skin after they take it off. It has a more elaborate sleep mode where it tracks hours as well as REM times during sleep. It is critical to know that REM is occurring regularly because that is the deepest part of the sleep cycle.

Not just this, the Fitbit Sense also has a robust GPS tracking system. Instead of a button being present on the side, the Fitbit Sense has an indentation on the side which vibrates when pressed. The Fitbit Sense is also more elaborate in providing workout data than the Apple Watch Series 6.

Fitbit Sense Vs Apple Series

The Final Brawl

There are points that give one product an advantage over the other but they are quite widespread. When it comes to GPS calibration outdoors, it takes the Fitbit Sense nearly 8-10 seconds to do so. The Apple Watch takes 1-2 seconds in comparison. That is significantly shorter than the Fitbit sense.

However, when it comes to the efficiency of hardware, the Fitbit has an advantage. The Apple Watch has a physical button as opposed to the Fitbit’s indentation. A mechanical part means a higher probability of fault. Its the same reason HDDs are more prone to hardware errors than SSDs.

The Verdict

Summing up, even though the Fitbit Sense has a more robust design, the Apple Watch Series 6 has more smart features in it. It features them over quite a wide range, with immense ease of access for the user.

And finally, when talking about battery life, the Fitbit sense clearly triumphs over the Apple because the battery has never been the company’s strong suit.

If you’re a fan of detail and long-lasting, you’d rather go for a Fitbit otherwise the Apple Watch is the way to go!

Atif Aslam’s Naat At Mehfil-e-Milaad Wins Hearts [Watch Video]

atif aslam tajdar e haram
PC: Business Recorder

I have to admit, I have been an Atif Aslam fan ever since I heard his song ‘Jal Pari.’ The Coke Studio crooner swept me off my feet with the track.

He continued to make me his fan with back to back hits like ‘Kuch Iss Tarah,’ ‘Maula Mere Maula,’ ‘Bus Ik Pal,’ ‘Pehli Nazar Mein,’ and the list goes on.

Although Aslam has sung all kinds of romantic duets in Pakistan and Bollywood, he is well known for lending his magical voice for naats.

Atif Aslam has once again stolen hearts with his goosebump-giving performance at a Mehfil-e-Milaad, where he recited a naath that will steal your heart.

According to details, Atif Aslam had recently attended the Milad ceremony in Lahore.

Aslam recited the beautiful Kalam ‘Tajdar-e-Haram’ in his voice and mesmerized everyone.

Tajdar-e-Haram

“Tajdar-e-Haram” is a qawwali originally performed by the Pakistani musical group, Sabri Brothers, in 1970. In 1982, the Sabri brothers took out a short version of the almost half hour qawalli and trimmed it down to almost 9 minutes.


Atif Aslam released his own version of the naath in 2015 with Coke Studio. Not only did it receive a lot of love and appreciation from fans and followers, but Aslam’s track became one of the most popular and most-watched videos of Coke Studio on YouTube.


In 2018, Tajdar e Haram was once again given a rendition; this time is Sajid and  Wajid Khan, who used the track in the film album Satyameva Jayate.


No matter how many times you listen to the beautiful verses, every time is like listening to it as if it were the first. The soothing words of the naath make you feel a sensation like no other.

In a nutshell, the track is a dua in which he qawwal/singer is praying to the King of both worlds (heaven and Earth) to allow him/them to visit the holy city of Madina, where they can visit his house and pray in his beloved prophet’s mosque.

Following the hit of Tajdar-e-Haram in Coke Studio Season 8, Aslam gave another brilliant performance with ‘Wohi Khuda Hai‘ in Season 12.


Atif Aslam is a household Pakistani name which has made rippled all across the world. The crooner is one of the most wanted talents globally, with concerts almost sold off if not.

We wish Atif all the very best and hope that his melodious voice continues to inspire individuals and have them swinging to it.

Pakistani Version Of Netflix Soon To Be Launched!

Netflix is a company that started off as a DVD rental service. You’d rent a movie, keep a night marathon with friends, and return it the next day. Then, in the 21st century, when DVDs started to go out of use, Netflix finally switched to a streaming service. It was mind-boggling to see how one could watch so many movies and shows in such a reasonable amount.

Now, even Pakistan has joined the race that takes place in the streaming dimension. A Pakistani Netflix version is set to launch, quite soon!

A recent tweet by Fawad Chaudhry stated,

Netflix and Pakistan

One of the main issues of being a Netflix user is the content it can sometimes recommend. The closest country to us, with Netflix access, is India. Due to that, there is an immense amount of Indian pop culture present on it. Not every user tends to be a fan of Bollywood, yet they are bombarded with its features and recommendations, every time they open Netflix.

Considering this, it was high time that Pakistan got its own version of Netflix. How else can we promote our own media? We have some absolutely golden tv-series and movies just sitting, gathering dust. It’s not just the recent ones that are regarded as good, Pakistan has a history of a golden era of television!

Setting Pakistani Netflix Apart

So, how do we generate the content that sets this version apart from the others? Of course, there cannot just be Pakistani material present on it. To engage a bigger audience, the streaming service has to feature a plethora of genres and countries.

However, this Netflix version can keep content that’s extremely unique to it. They can keep older drama serials which stopped airing many years ago. These included serials like ‘Sunheray Don’t and ‘Alpha Bravo Charlie’. The concept of tv series revolves around life in the army, how the closest of friends tackle the tough life and navigate through it; is all part of the serial. These were two of the most famous drama serials when they first came out. ‘Alpha Bravo Charlie’ was basically the sequel to ‘Sunheray Din’, with the same cast members returning.

A Golden Age

As mentioned above, Pakistan has had a history of television. Some more examples include ‘Angan Terha’, ‘Alif Noon’, ‘Fifty Fifty’. There have even been more serious themed shows too. Serials like ‘Dhoop Kinaray’ and ‘Dhuwan’ are some of the best known in the history of the country. This is sure to attract a wide amount of audience.

People love the feeling of nostalgia so it would do them good to experience it. The pricing of the Pakistani Netflix is unconfirmed yet but it will probably not be any more than the usual Netflix.

Final Touches

Pakistani Netflix is being overlooked by PEMRA. They are still smoothing over some of the details of how and when it intends to release. Not just this, they are also checking what kind of content they can allow.

There are a lot of questions to be asked but for now, this is all the information we have. Of course, there are people who have expressed their reservations on PEMRA’s involvement in this,
