Sometimes there are unsung heroes in our life whose help is a favour so great, you can never return it. One of them is Zafar Lala, a rickshaw driver who protected two of his female passengers.

The Outcome of Bravery In Our World

Zafar Lala worked as a rickshaw driver in Saddar Peshawar. On a day that seemed regular, he got two female customers whom he agreed to take on. Unfortunately, those two women started being chased by a couple of men.

Zafar thought it his duty to go and resist the men. Resist he did but the outcome was that he returned with acid thrown on his face. The merciless men who were chasing Zafar Lala’s passengers threw acid on his face when he tried to stand up against them, he lost both his eyes.

Humanity Is Not Dead

A kind soul on Twitter set himself on a journey to help the brave rickshaw driver. Zafar was immediately admitted to Prime Teaching Hospital where he was awaiting his eye surgery.

Amir Hamza Khan, who was collecting donations for Lala, kept urging people to donate as much as possible for this kind soul. Lala has two daughters, aged 8 and 12 and his wife has also passed away. He now seeks monthly help since he is without vision.

Clearly, humanity is not dead because from the updates on Twitter, the donations crossed the 200K mark! An anonymous person has also agreed on the monthly expenditure.

A One of A Kind Soul

Zafar Lala, the brave rickshaw driver, is truly a one of a kind person. Even with acid thrown on his face he had a smile and he was hopeful that one day he will regain his vision. See these videos of him with his doctor, they’ll make your day.

Where are your donations going?

A Dead-end Road

Countless women are harassed and followed every time they board a public transport or even when they are driving alone. Refresh your memories and think of Dua Mangi. She was walking with her male friend on one of the busiest streets of Karachi when she was abducted. When her friend tried to resist and protect her, he was shot in his neck.

There’s no relief either for the women who become targets and also for the men who are better than the rest.

It’s that time of year when Black Friday 2020 is not too far away! It’s time for you to start saving money so you can make the best of deals and discounts!

This year, it is expected that Pakistan will witness a sharp increase in online Black Friday sales! Mainly due to the novel Coronavirus, thousands of Pakistanis have turned to eCommerce.

Hence, we want you to get a chance to avail the best of the best without having to compromise on either price or quality.

Here are 7 Black Friday 2020 Shopping Tips!

7 Black Friday 2020 Shopping Tips

Tip #1- Best Time To Sign Up For Emails

Hear me out, everyone hates getting spammed with countless emails blowing up the inbox. But, Black Friday emails usually accompany a special discount code that is only available to those customers who have signed up. You can save a decent amount of money on shipping, your total bill, or even on the product you’ve been eyeing for some time!

10 Black Friday Memes That Perfectly Describe the Shopping Madness!

Tip #2- Prioritize The List

The major problem with days like Black Friday is that many don’t even get a chance to buy what they need over what they want and some don’t end up with either. Hence, you need to prioritize your items according to your budget. Don’t get caught up buying junk and missing out on the limited stock.

Tip #3- Check Prices In Advance

To be ahead of the game, you need to check all prices beforehand. This will help you understand how much you are saving, and if it worth buying the product during the sale. Sometimes vendors try to take advantage of customers by giving minimal discounts and altering the original price.

Tip #4- Add to Cart

Save time and money by adding items you are interested in your cart. This will help you find what you are looking for with ease. You can always consider bookmarking tabs as well incase the cart might go blank.

Tip #5- Don’t Compare Prices

You’ll be wasting a lot of time and making too much effort to try and price-match. Most platforms and brands turn their tools off on big sales. You’ll just have to go with your gut feeling and ask yourself is this the best price you can get on the product and go along with it before it runs out of stock.

Tip #6- Score Early Deals

Many e-commerce platforms and brands let customers make most of the annual Black Friday sales even before Friday. Usually, many of them have sales going on up to a week prior to the actual event, which gives you plenty of time to snoop around.

The Reality Behind Black Friday & How Pakistani Brands are Celebrating it!

Tip #7- Know The Return Policy

Got a faulty item? You may not be able to return it! Many customers add to cart and purchase lots of items worth thousands without reading the fine print. It is important to know if the item, if faulty, can be returned and if you can get your money back.

Ayeza Khan Under Fire For Endorsing Faiza Beauty Cream

Oct 9, 2020

Ayeza Khan has been one of the most loved actresses in the Pakistani industry. With hits left, right and center, she has proved that you need the talent to succeed. If you are talented, you will still get back to back lead roles even if you are married and have two children. This point is worth mentioning considering our industry conveniently forgets an actress if she gets on with her personal life.

Ayeza Khan with her morals

Aside from her fantastic performance, Ayeza has a huge fan following for much more than just her talent. She has set up a standard for herself, a set of morals and values, and refuses to compromise on that. It was visible when a conversation on the choice of her dresses made rounds all over social media.

A post shared by Ayeza Khan (@ayezakhan.ak) on May 26, 2020 at 3:57am PDT

In a show, Ayeza claimed that her designer had to foolproof convince her that the intended dress for the day was not at all revealing. Following that, many interviewers asked her about it and her general wardrobe choices. There she made it clear that this is one of her markers upon which she never compromises. And at the end of the day, it is not really about wearing revealing clothes or not; it is about choosing a set of standards for herself. Regardless, her fans loved her for it.

Beauty Cream?

But when a person with such set morals commits an act that seems insincere, it shakes up the followers. And we saw Ayeza doing precisely that. She starred in a Faiza Beauty Cream ad. Now it’s not a hidden fact that the beauty cream endorses light skins. And to promote it, Ayeza gave a speech that gave the entire credit of her fame to Faiza Beauty Cream.

Her exact words (translated) were: This consistent fame over time is because of my confidence, and I have had it because of Faiza Beauty Cream.

Hurt Fan Following

Agitated fans couldn’t suppress their feelings and showered their hurt and anger all over social media. The overall gist of that hate was their disbelief over the claim that Ayeza could have used this specific beauty cream even if she did and for this long a time.

We would like to give a side note to Ayeza here. Ayeza, the audience is not stupid. They want someone for their talent. And if you are at that height, it is because the audience recognized your talent. You are a talented woman, and it is not because of any beauty cream.

Given that Pakistani women already live with an inferiority complex over their skin color, if you are endorsing using a beauty cream to have reached your height, it is very irresponsible.

free education — PC: Caucasus Business Week

Many Pakistani students struggle to find a good university beyond the borders that provide quality education at an affordable price.

Many Pakistani students prefer going to international universities. However, they’re often discouraged because of the expense. Some even find themselves in deep debts working tireless hours to pay it off.

Nevertheless, you’ll be happy to know that there are actually some tuition-free institutes and countries that provide free education to international students!

1. Germany

Germany is known around the globe for providing free education to its students. We have to admit this is a brilliant achievement by the country!

Public Universities in Germany provide free of cost education to all students. Famous universities like the University of Munich and the University of Bonn provide higher education without even having to learn Dutch.

Germany is also well-known across the world to have one of the best educational systems when it comes to higher education, that too for FREE!

However, international students must pay for their living costs. Unless they benefit from any scholarship.

2. Czech Republic

Commonly called ‘The Heart of Europe,’ the Czech Republic also lets international students make the most of its free education. However, unlink Germany, students will have to learn the local language.

However, if a student wishes to continue their studies in English, they must pay €4,000-12,000 annually. According to reports, almost 43,000 students make the most of high-quality education from here.

3. Austria

Reportedly, Austria offers the same rights to Austrian and EU/EEA international students. These students are allowed to study for free at any program or degree level.

But, students must pay at least €400 per semester once they have officially registered themselves in an Austrian institute.

4. Brazil

Many public universities in Brazil are offering free education to students from international borders as well as local students.

As far as private universities are considered, each one has its own fee structure according to the degree the student wishes to attain.

However, its also important to know that students undergo an exam to demonstrate their knowledge of the Portuguese language. Moreover, Brazil is considered one of the cheapest countries in the world for students to live in, in terms of transport and living.

5. France

While it is super expensive to visit and tour the beauty of France, students have it the other way.

The French Republic has an advanced education sector and higher education in the country is free at several universities.

International students also get the benefit of applying for scholarships which are worth anywhere between €7,000-21,000.

6. Sweden

Just like France, Sweden also has a reputation for being an expensive country for tourism. Whereas it’s different for those seeking education from across the borders.

Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are free at many universities for Swedish students, EU/EEA students, as well as students from Switzerland. Non-EU students have to pay in order to study.

However, Ph.D. programs are free for all students worldwide! Sweden also provides financial aid in the form of scholarships to its international students.

7. Finland

Last but not the least, Finland is also offering international students a chance to gain free education in 2020.

Universities in Finland are mostly known to offer courses in communication, architecture and designing.

However, EU students can study for FREE whilst non-EU students who want to study in English must pay tuition fees.

5 Ways To Keep Your Car Interior Looking As Good As New!

5 Ways To Keep Your Car Interior Looking As Good As New! — PC: ecomento.de

Clean cars are the ones that last longer compared to vehicles that only looked after once in a while. If you want your asset to last you for what you’ve paid for, you need to keep the exterior as well as the car interior crisp.

Keeping the car’s interior compared to the exterior can be a bit challenging. You have seats, mats, and a lot going on inside. Not to forget, there are many hard-to-reach places.

Moreover, if you have kids or clumsy passengers, then there’s always food or something dripping and spilling. This can leave a foul odor and can damage the car’s body. Hence, if you want the interior looking as good as new, here’s what you need to do!

5 Things You Should Know About Self-Driving Cars!

5 Ways To Keep Your Car Interior Looking As Good As New!

1. Use Quality Window Film

Quality can make a big difference when it comes to expanding your car’s lifespan. When the vehicle is stagnant, it is standing for countless hours under the harsh UV rays given off by the sun. These rays enter via the bare windows and cause damage to the seats, dashboard, and interior trimming.

Eventually, the lifespan of the car interior decreases, and it costs you a lot of money to repair. The best solution to this problem is by using a high-quality window film. The film stops the UV rays from causing damage to the inside and reflects it out.

2. Weekly Vacuuming

They say that its human nature if you do something regularly for more than 20 days, it eventually becomes a habit. Similarly, make it a practice of conducting a weekly vacuuming activity.

This will help maintain an odor-less interior, will suck any food dropping or dust bunnies that are currently living in the car. If you own a pet, the vacuum will clean any air and will help keep allergens at bay esp. if you’re allergic to dust.

3. Replace Your Mats Once In A While

Consider replacing your car mats once in a while. Sometimes, vacuums and other cleaning methods are useful to take off the dirt and other particles, but eventually, the mats wear out. They ultimately get torn and have holes.

Trust me, when I saw passengers would know they have their feet placed on old smelly mats! Plus, it will add to your car’s fresh look!

4. Clean Out The Dash

Your dashboard is your locker inside a car. You put everything inside of it, from keys to papers to your wallet and phone, and at times junk! For anything you need to get rid of, your dashboard comes to the rescue.

However, an excellent cleanup of the dash is not a bad idea. Consider doing it bi-monthly or monthly according to your availability. You do not want dust and other particles to settle inside and give you a hard time driving.

5. Take Care Of The Leather

Often the most common mistake drivers make when cleaning the car interior is using harsh chemicals unsuitable for the leathered seats and trims. Not all compounds can be used to clean leather. The chemicals will destroy their quality and can cause an unpleasing odor. Hence, only use substances that are made explicitly for leather fabric.

3 Most Disastrous Earthquakes In Pakistan’s History

Oct 8, 2020

Mother Nature is a powerful force. She can turn the dynamics of the Earth’s geography upside down. Many have tried to conquer this force but they have been unable to. So what exactly does she bring with her? Of course, we can mention how beautiful nature is and there is no doubt about the magnitude of the beauty. However, Mother Nature does harbour powers that are beyond the control of any human being.

These are known as natural disasters. One such example is earthquakes. Earthquakes have the ability to bring about a form of destruction not comprehensible to humans. They are often left baffled with what an earthquake is capable of. In light of the terrible natural disaster that shook the nation fifteen years ago, we will take a look at some other devastating Earthquakes in Pakistan’s history.

Devastating earthquakes — Image Source: https://www.nature.com

1. The 2013 Catastrophes:

During the second half of 2013, around September, a series of earthquakes came raging towards the country. They came from the depth of the planet and caused nothing but destruction. The first earthquake, also known as the mainshock, came at a staggering magnitude of 7.7.

This is an extremely dangerous level and if the earthquake itself was any shallower than it was (fifteen kilometers), the destruction would have been more catastrophic. Despite the depth, it still turned out to be quite disastrous and the death toll was registered at 825, at least. It injured hundreds of others.

80% of homes in the Awaran district were destroyed in this event. The government estimated the destruction of houses at 21,000. The earthquake was so huge that it was also felt in other regions of Pakistan, like Karachi, Hyderabad. It was even felt in parts of India like Delhi. This was not the end of the disaster, as the coming two days were to reveal. An aftershock came hurling towards the same region with a magnitude of 6.8!

2. The Ziarat Quakes: 2008

Rewinding back a couple of years, Pakistan faced yet another series of humungous earthquakes. The first hit the area of Balochistan in October. The Richter scale measured its magnitude at 6.4. This is still quite huge. It was reported at a depth of fifteen kilometers. This was followed by a second earthquake of the same magnitude. However, this one was shallower than the first one, at a depth of fourteen kilometers. 215 people lost their lives in these natural disasters.

Not just this, the earthquakes left more than 200 injured and upwards of 100, 000 people homeless. This was one of the highest hitting Earthquakes in Pakistan’s history.

2008 Earthquakes — Image Source: https://pakistanweatherportal.com

3. 2005: Colossal Destruction

Even now, this earthquake is considered as the most destructive earthquake after 1947. The only one that comes close was in 1935. Out of all the earthquakes in Pakistan’s history, this one hit the hardest. The earthquake was centered around the area of Kashmir and it came around the morning hours of 8th October.

The magnitude of the quake was 7.6. The epicenter of destruction was Muzaffarabad. It was hit the hardest out of every city and area in that region. Due to this being shallower than any of the other earthquakes, the damage was quite high. It destroyed structures, cracked the ground and brought about nothing but more problems. There was no warning and the world was taken aback because of how severe this disaster was.

The death toll stood at a morbid and staggering 87, 350, although estimates put it above 100, 000. Over 3.5 million were rendered homeless and another 100, 000+ injured. Students were buried under collapsed buildings because schools were open that day.

In remembrance of what happened fifteen years ago today, the country conducted a moment of silence at 8:52 am this morning.

4 Things Small Businesses Can Do To Survive & Avoid Bankruptcy

things small businesses can do — Image Source: https://www.thestatesman.com

Business has always been a way of life for many. Whether it is a student trying to complete their bachelors or an adult working in the industry, a business can be a viable option. If you have an idea that you think can flourish well if its watered enough, then you should not hesitate to pursue it. Why wouldn’t business boom? Why wouldn’t profits soar?

However, there are many times that, due to a lack of sustainability, the business can come to the brink of collapse. Often, a small business may have to declare bankruptcy because let’s face it, they ran out of the runway that would have allowed them to take-off. Despite this, there are things that Small Businesses can do to avoid bankruptcy.

1. Cut those costs

Businesses often find themselves in trouble due to extra expenditure. There can often be unnecessary costs invested in the business. These may have no need to be present but they are there either as a luxury or something extra. If you find that your business may be going under, explore the areas of cost. Do you have a model that allows for perfect flow of cash, in and out? Cutting down on certain costs and working on a budget can allow your business the breathing room it requires.

Reducing expenses is part of this point. Where three vehicles are being used to cover a location, see if two vehicles can make rounds. Another way to cut cost is to make the most out of the space you have. Power down non-essential lights, appliances when not in use. After all, the electricity bill itself can be a hefty price to pay for a running business. This is quite a significant way for businesses to avoid bankruptcy.

2. Prioritize Debt Payments:

If your business has debt payments due which are also causing it to go under, check how soon they have to be paid. Since not all your bills will have the same urgency, it is better to prioritize. Set the most urgent payments at the top and think of ways to pay those off. Check if there can be a payment plan for these debts that have accumulated.

Remember, staying afloat is a huge part of running a business so make sure the debt is not heavy enough to sink it. Many organizations may offer reasonable payment plans and have policies in place in case of such a situation.

3. Selling Unnecessary Assets:

There are often assets present within the business that are not of use. They may have reached the end of their application and they may just be sitting gathering dust. If your business comprises of machinery or equipment, think of ways it can be liquidated.

Liquidation applies to machines, furniture and other similar resources alike. Huge round end table not of use? Sell it off. You need every source of inflow you can get.

4. Increasing Revenue:

Now, this option is one that might need more time to take footing. Increasing revenue is something that can keep a business afloat if it has some runway left. If there can be some alternate means of revenue generation present, it is better to accommodate those.

Increasing leads to attracting more customers, raising rates to a certain level can all be ways to generate extra revenue. There are ways to cross-sell and up-sell as well so employing those can help a small business. This is just one of the things small businesses can do to avoid bankruptcy.

Hina Altaf’s Fans Are All Asking The Question, “Is She Pregnant?”

Hina Altaf, the accomplished actress is being speculated on Instagram for any signs of “khush khabri”. Yes, the phupos are back and they’re wondering if another actress is pregnant!

Hina Altaf and Agha Ali

Hina Altaf is married to Agha Ali. Many of you might know him from his problematic statements but that’s a topic for another day. On May 23, 2020, the two announced to their fans of having tied the knot together.

They got married in a private ceremony on the day of Jumma Tul Wida and their pictures are adorable!

Hina Altaf’s Diet Control

A while ago on Nida Yasar’s morning show, the couple revealed a promise they had made to each other on the day of their marriage. Don’t try guessing it, you’ll never be able to, Agha Ali wanted Hina Altaf to promise that she’d never get fat (or at least as fat as the woman he showed to her).

Of course, she laughed and she agreed and apparently Agha Ali also promised to stay “slim”. With this in mind, these questions about pregnancy seem hilarious. Check out this tweet that had us rolling on the floor:

hina altaf: I’m pregnant
agha ali: idc you look fat ew! get out of my house here are the divorce papers

— H. (@heyjeemm) August 8, 2020

Even Ali Gul Pir also had a take on this absurd conversation which is downright hilarious.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Ali Gul Pir (@therealaligulpir) on Aug 10, 2020 at 2:44am PDT

So Where Are These Rumours Coming From?

We know how we are also. An actress just wears loose clothes sometimes or gets a picture taken from a bad angle and there you have it: “SHE’S PREGNANT!”

The same has happened with Hina Altaf who recently put up a picture in which her clothes are considerably loose. Check it out and be the judge for yourself: is she expecting?

Hide The Bump: Mission Impossible 10

In our society, as hard as it may be to hide the humongous bump, many women will die trying. You might even be guilty of draping the dupatta from one side all over the bump making it look like the traditional Indian outfit. Or if you haven’t resorted to this, you’ve definitely seen women do that.

Otherwise, there are women wearing clothes so loose you can’t tell whether there’s a body inside the kurta or just air. But still, the bump will be trying to show itself. This stems from our age-old lessons that the bump must always be hidden! It’s a treasure!

The inevitable has finally happened but that doesn’t mean people have no reaction to it: Pakistanis are angry, hopeless and revolted by the government’s decision.

The Censor Festival

Some uproar surrounding the series was witnessed during the last few days. Mostly men picked up some scenes in which sexual terms were being used and they were offended by the women in short clothes.

That is not to say each and every Pakistani woman hopped on the bandwagon and said this series was what the world needed, no. There were many who said they were “all for the liberalism” but this is a “bit extreme”.

Fast forward a few days, the series got banned in Pakistan because of its supposedly “lewd” content. It has now been removed from ZEE5 and that is a leap back for this country.

The Content That’s Preferred

Shehzad Ghias, the renowned comedian and also activist, summed up his thoughts on this decision very concisely. Have a read here and see if it changes your mind if you were playing for the other side:

The conservatives were enraged at what sort of content and ideals the ‘churails’ are putting forth. But what sort of content are they happy with? The same one in which it is taught that a husband must slap his wife every time she breathes? that marriage is one long episode of Tom n Jerry between the wife and mother-in-law?

This Could Have Been Pakistan’s Big Break

This show could have been Pakistan’s big break into the big leagues. There were chances of it going onto Netflix and being the first series to do so. Moreover, just think of how many men and women were inspired to create something themself that could have been amazing.

How strange for #Churails to be lauded internationally, and now be shut down in its country of origin. In the very country where hundreds of artists came together to create something that could initiate dialogue and open doors for new narratives. (1)

For reasons unknown to pretty much everyone, Pakistan is regressing day by day. Where we should be promoting the youth’s capability when it comes to tech and gaming, we ban those too. Now we’re banning ‘Churails’.

Karachiite Shares Account of Lahore Motorway Like Rape Attempt! — PC: Navbharat Times

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is our homeland and we have always been proud of it. However, the last few weeks has thousands of us terrified following the Lahore Motorway gang-rape.

A woman was heading home with her children when she was approached by men after her car failed to move due to no fuel. She was raped in front of her children.

The Lahore Motorway rape case sent chills across the nation, followed by news of more rapes and murders of boys and girls. As crime continues to rise in Pakistan, another story has once again sunk our hearts.

Here’s What Happened

This time, a young man tells us about how the Lahore Motorway incident almost repeated itself in Karachi. He pens down that he was returning from a birthday party with two female friends.

After dropping off one of the girls, on his way to drop the other, around 10 men on 4 motorbikes surrounded his vehicle screaming “bahar nikal,” “bahar aa,” “larki ko bahar nikal.” Mortified, the youngsters tried to flea the gang but were caught by them once again a little further.

He also mentions that the bikers were boys aged between 15-25, but the look in their eyes was ‘barbaric!’

Moreover, the young victims have reached out to the authorities and have submitted their statements, hoping that the culprits will be caught before they get to another victim.

Here’s how one of the victims, Syed Shaheer Ali shares the account of the incident:

“I am writing this from a state of shock and trauma to inform you all that I and my female friend just escaped another possible Motorway incident God forbid. Please read it so that you all can protect yourselves too.

“We were coming back from a birthday celebration at one of our friend’s place and while on the way back, I had two female friends with me, one of whom I had to drop at a girl’s hostel.

“It was about 11.30 pm, I dropped one of the friends at the hostel and then my other female friend and I were headed towards Maskan. As soon as we crossed Safeet, 4 bikes appeared out of nowhere with a total of about 10 people on them. They surrounded our car shouting “Bahar nikaal”, “Bahar aa”, “Bahar nikaal inko”

“Trust me I was shaking to death realizing what’s gonna happen next. It was pitch dark in the premises, complete silence and we were stuck around the bushes. I tried my best to hold my nerves and pressed the accelerator to full as I tried to run away.

“As we ran and reached near the Boys hostel, they came again and surrounded us forcing me to stop the car. That’s when they came to the car’s window banging and screaming ‘Larki ko Bahar nikaal,’ ‘Gaari Roukk,’ ‘Bahar aa…’

“Trust me, I can’t even put into words the trauma my friend and I had to go through. She is in a complete state of shock up till now, and I’ve not been able to sleep peacefully yet.

Motorway Incident: Pakistanis Are Demanding The Removal Of CCPO Lahore

“They had just one intention, and if they had been successful to get inside the car, they would have beaten me. You all know what would have happened with the girl.

“Somehow I managed to escape, pushing my car to the limits. We informed the guards on the Maskan gate.
These guys looked around the age of 15 to 25 years but the barbaric look in their eyes was beyond what words can explain…

“We have informed the university’s management about this incident and admin is coordinating with us. We hope that the management takes this to the Rangers/security authorities and the culprits get caught.

Is This Really The ‘Islamic Republic Of Pakistan’?

This account has once again devastated us. Students are unsafe on the premises they consider their second home. This also shows us what path the youngsters of the country are going down on!

Can you imagine at a mere age of 15 or 16 wanting to hurt a female? Wanting to be a part of criminal activities? Imagine what the victims are going through. Will they ever be able to go back to their everyday lives?

5 Important Things To Know About The COVID-19 Vaccine

Oct 7, 2020

The pandemic, COVID-19, that began in late 2019 and spread all over the world like wildfire in the first quarter of 2020, was devastating. Many people succumbed to their death due to it, lockdowns were imposed, and numerous businesses closed down. Scared for almost a year now, people are now hoping for COVID-19 vaccine to grace us with its presence already.

But even if it does, there are few things that we need to remember.

1. Vaccine takes time

Vaccines help deal with illnesses. And in the past, they have helped with numerous pandemics such as smallpox. But vaccines cannot be regularised not until there have been clinical trials. And even in clinical trials, the drug should prove effective against placebo for more than 50% of the candidates. Take Measles, for instance, the vaccine has proven effective for 97% of the candidates. And obviously, the first-generation vaccine for COVID cannot be at the Measles vaccine level, but we will be a step closer.

2. A Global Evaluation

The process for the COVID-19 vaccine to be regularised involves the vaccine entering the global market. They do so after the clinical trial has proved them to be successful for more than 50%, so let’s say 60% of the sample population. The drug enters the market but it is only protecting 6 out of every 10 people but the what of the remaining 4? Well, the market is then monitored. It is monitored for side effects, long term effects, and if it is t be administered more than once.

So with a pandemic this huge, it is going to be a trial and error game and it will take a long time to fully gauge it.

3. You need to wait to get the shot

Once a vaccine gets approved, it goes to the production phase. But with the production of the drug, manufacturers will also need to make the glass bottles and the syringes. If there is any problem with that, it will obstruct the distribution.

But let’s assume, everything is ready, does that mean you can ship it out? No. There are rules and regulations that they need to follow. And even then, first of all, all health care providers will receive the shot. Following them will be people with medical conditions. Then only, somewhere down the line, can average adults also receive the vaccine. Long story short, there will be quite some time until the vaccine gets to you.

4. Keep masks at hand

As we said, it will take some time to fully gauge the vaccine and its consequences so even if a vaccine is released, it is still not safe. Hence, make sure that you do not get rid of your masks and sanitizers as of yet. I mean you already bought them at a high price so better keep using them. Also, you never know if you contract it after the vaccine is released in the market what if the vaccine is still first-generation and ineffective for you.

Aside from masks, keep exercising social distancing.

5. Some people might not want it…

It is very likely that when a vaccine gets released, people do not want it. Polls and researches suggest that people want to wait. It gives them a sense of security in taking the vaccine a little late in the cycle. This is not right. If people do not take it, monitoring its result might get difficult and a second-generation vaccine will not be as effective. But here is the thing, organizations individually have the right to make vaccine shots a must for their employees. So all those in the position of power, use it here because the world needs you to.

All in all, having a vaccine is not the final piece in the COVID-19 puzzle. It will take us a huge amount of time in getting rid of this pandemic but we have to remain calm and practice the measures we have been following for some time now.

Visually Impaired Repairman From Karachi Proves What Hardwork Is

These days you will find a seasoned beggar at every roadside asking for your money. But it comes as a surprise when we come across people who do not fall to such a profession and continue working hard regardless of the obstacles. Such an individual is found in Karachi Qasba Colony. He is visually impaired but that doesn’t stop him from working to earn his living.

Muhammad Zarnosh’s life story

Muhammad Zarnosh is a classic example of when life throws problems at you, you face them head-on and try to work around them. And Zarnosh has been facing the problem since birth. When he was born, he started experiencing eyesight problems. But made do with it.

His father taught him plumbing and electric work when he was a teenager because it is important to have a skill. He excelled in it but here came the problem, the sight that was dwindling completely went away almost 10 years ago when he was in his twenties. Now, the skill he had acquired was electricity-related and without seeing what he is working on could, the work could prove very dangerous.

No Way Out?

This was indeed a very tough situation. However, the alternative for not taking on the electric jobs was begging and he refused to succumb to that. According to him:

“It’s better to do work and labour to earn a livelihood for my children than to beg. I am disabled but I am toiling for bread and butter. I have seen people who have no hands or legs but still do hard work.”

He mentions that he gets electric shocks sometimes as he fumbles around wires, separating the live ones with the ones that are not. But, he would continue to do this because the only thing he has been taught is hard work, he doesn’t believe in anything else.

What of the future?

The hard-working visually impaired Zarnosh mentions one regret though. He said, unfortunately, he learnt only this skill. Had he received proper education he would have provided better for his family. And so he has a similar wish for his children. Unlike him, he wants them to get a proper education. However, from what he earns he is only able to provide for the basic necessities and not for their education.

The future is unpredictable, anything can happen. Zarnosh’s children can get the education and get to the places Zarnosh dreams of. But this is the thought process that we need at a larger scale in Pakistan.

what to know before season 3 release — Image Source: https://www.vanityfair.com

The world of pop culture has taken the internet by storm. There is no lack of movies or tv-shows every time someone turns on the computer or television. Netflix, which once upon a time used to sell DVDs, now has its streaming service. Not just that, but services like Amazon streaming, Hulu, and NBC have also gained a footing in this market.

With the advent of 2019 came a new tv-show, unique in its plot. It starts on a light note. However, with the progression of the seasons, it slowly spirals into something much darker. This show is called ‘YOU.’ It is expected to release its third season soon. We have compiled a list of 5 things to know before YOU Season 3.

Tv show season — Image Source: https://www.empireonline.com

1. Based on the Novel

This information goes by quietly, but the series is based on a novel series. It progresses at a reasonable place, leaving the audience with room to breathe. So, it is no surprise that the third season is also based on the novel series. This information is vital to anyone who wishes to get an idea or a grip on the story ahead of time.

The writer of this article recalls doing the same thing when it came to the ‘Witcher’ novels. (They are a highly recommended read)

2. Goldberg is back!

Can this be a worthwhile tv-show without its star protagonist returning for yet another season 3? Joe Goldberg’s character development can be considered as the stuff of legends! From how he started to how he ended up can speak a lot about how well the story has been written. Penn Badgley is quite the genius behind the character and deserves no less praise.

However, we don’t know how his character will further take shape this season. This is kept in perspective while keeping in light the events of season 2 finale.

3. Love ‘Harley’ Quinn returns!

Considering the events of the second season, Joe would be quite incomplete without the character that further helps in shaping this show’s destiny. When last we saw, Love Quinn was pregnant. However, whether it was Joe’s child or someone else yet remains to be seen.

Suppose there is one sure thing to obtain from this season, its that she goes toe-to-toe with Joe on the levels of ‘Crazy.’ Come on! We all remember what happened to Candice (The second time). Let us see what YOU season 3 brings with it.

4. The third is not the last

The producer of the show was reported to have mentioned this very thing. She said that there is no way that this can be the final leg of Joe’s journey. The producer, Sera Gamble, further elaborated on this idea that there is quite a lot of content to go through. The novel series gives them quite a lot of room for more seasons.

There is no reason to believe that this season will be the last. Of course, there can always be someone new on Joe’s target list. There can still be a plotline that involves Joe getting into deep trouble. Not losing hope, alright?!

5. The woman is not the mother

The last season finale portrayed Joe looking through a fence in admiration towards another woman. Afterward, fans started speculating whether she was Joe’s mother. Penn Badgley shut this theory down immediately, saying that she is not the mother. He also mentioned that that would be extra creepy, more than the show needs!

The identity of that woman is yet to be revealed. YOU season 3 will come with a lot of new directions the plot can take.
