5 Ways To Identify That You Are In A Toxic Relationship

To have a healthy life, have healthy relationships. Now, it does not only have to mean romantic ones. It also means that you should have healthy relationships with your parents, siblings, and friends. But yes, our focus will be on romantic relationships. So if you are caught in a toxic relationship, would you even know because, at most times, the people do not even realize they are poisonous or are being subjected to toxicity.

So here are some ways that can serve as identifiers if you want to know you are in a toxic relationship or not.

1. Micro-Management

Well, this concept in itself should not exist in a relationship because relationships are about trust. They demand the people in them to respect the other person. They are not beneath you, you know. The moment you come to understand this, the easier it becomes for you not to be toxic. But since we are telling you the signs, here are a few examples: asking ‘every detail about how you spent your day,’ ‘who you met and why,’ ‘who you talked with.’

2. Extreme careful

Careful is good. But when you start walking on eggshells, warning! So what I mean by eggshells is that you think and rethink and think a little bit more about how your partner will feel if you decide to go shopping with your partners before discussing it with him/her. In easy words, when you try not to be you in front of the other person, that is the sign.

3. Did you stop meeting someone?

This is a critical identifier. Go back to when before you met this partner of yours. Remember all your social circles, your friends, your cousins, etc. Did you lose touch with anyone because your partner indicated they don’t like that person? I am not saying that just because of that, they are toxic, no. What I am saying is that you saw that your partner would get harsh when around that person. And yet, when you cut off contact with your friend, they became sweet once again. All that matters!

4. That little hope

You like someone. You are in a relationship with the. Some things they do, they don’t sit well with you. And you keep telling yourself, ‘Oh but, s(he) can change,’ ‘s(he) will change.’ NO.

They won’t. And this, right there, is toxic. Stop doing this to yourself. That person will not change. At least not without professional help. If you want to continue, then get them to consult a psychologist.

5. How do you look like?

Did your appearance, outlook, wardrobe change? Did you change it because it didn’t suit your partner’s taste? You may ask that this does not sound so wrong. True. It may not sound that toxic at first glance. But it is these small things that make up your personality. And if you start changing you, that’s plain toxic.

Its time to be happy, my friends. Gone are the days when you would stay together with your toxic companions because you kept thinking maybe it’s not toxicity.

If you got married recently in this lockdown, my friend, you hit the jackpot. You did not have to invite any toxic relatives you are not even immediately related to. And you saved costs that you would otherwise have had to spend on a crowd of 1000 people. Now that you have had an affordable, cozy wedding, you would want a list of friendly honeymoon destinations as well. So here, we have five very affordable honeymoon destinations that you would love!

1. Albania

Go to Albania, people! So basically, earlier, Albania was a full-on communist country. But after its fall, it got westernized, so it witnessed a lot of additions to the culture. And a mixture of cultures is always fun to experience. But nature wins the race in Albania. The eastern parts of the Adriatic Sea are untouched by hordes of tourists, so that you can embrace its beauty as much as possible. And the best part is that you can get a 4-star hotel at $60 per night.

2. Thailand

Thailand is not only affordable but offers many attractions. The top of the line is Bridge over the River Kwai, Erawan National Park, Mu Koh Hong, Hat Karon, Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, Koh Muk, and Emerald Cave. So you and your newly found spouse can go to Phuket, take each other’s hand and take a stroll. The lonely seashores, animal sanctuaries, and mountain retreats make up this romantic treat for him/her.

3. Maldives

Let’s look at the Maldives now. They are affordable, but they also did not step too far away from their culture and history. So the historical places add a taste of adventure to romantic travels. So take your romantic escapades to the resorts or the sandy beaches. Then laze around on the sunset cruises. You can add some water sports such as scuba diving, fishing, and snorkeling to the itinerary. End the days under the starry skies. Trust me; your partner will be impressed!

Some attractions you can see at the Maldives: Maldives National Museum, Fua Mulaku, Mirihi Islands, Kudahuvadhoo, Grand Friday Mosque, and Nalaguraidhoo Beach.

4. Mauritius

Mauritius is mainly about beaches. But this country sure was promoted right in the Bollywood movies we have seen. The sights are to die for. I mean, not literally, considering you just got married…

So take your partner’s hand and walk down that coast, witnessing the coastline, the breathtaking scenery, and fall in love a bit more. While you are at it, visit the Grand Bay and Pereybère. Dine, club, and go to the Balaclava Ruins.

5. Bali

Bali is already known to be one of the top honeymoon destinations. But the best part is that it has remained affordable. Known for its hospitality, Bali’s population is comprised of Hindu and Muslim majority.

Not just seeing the cultural mix, this place allows you to even dine at a live volcano. After eating, go to the beaches or the temples, your pick. When done with ‘creating’ some memories, go to the Madu Sari Mountain Restaurant, the Bali Marine and Safari Park.

These are some of the very budget-friendly places for an affordable honeymoon that we have compiled for you. You can plan a bit more according to your savings, and you may find someplace that suits your taste more.

Hamza Ali Abbasi Gets Called Out For His ‘Double Standards’

By

The Holier Than Thou actor, Hamza Ali Abbasi, is being called out on his double standards and hypocrisy. Here’s why!

Throwback To 1 Year Ago

Very dramatically, the star first hinted at announcing by saying a “10-year long journey comes to an end”. When the fans got too anxious, they pressurized him to reveal the “big news.” In response to that, the former actor (is he former now?) put up a 10 minute, elaborate video.

“From Atheism To Islam” was the title of the video in which he talks about how he has left the profession now to focus on religion.

See Video Here!

Flash Forward to 2020

Now, the star is back and with a bang! Except the bang isn’t with his talent instead because of how much he is being called out because of his hypocrisy. He said literally that he’s leaving to pursue the word of God; now that he is back, is he not following the word of God? He didn’t go, he just took a long break, and now he’s back.

Do you want him to see on screen again 🤩♥️ #HamzaAliAbbasi #naimalkhawarkhan #NaimalKhawar #MuhammadMustafaAbbasi

A post shared by Instant Lollywood (@instant_lollywood) on

Actions Have Consequences (and Implications)

Before he left acting, he kept making remarks on how the entertainment industry has muddled itself with doing the wrong. Let’s not forget him humiliating a little girl on a dance show – as a Judge – over why she chose to dance. Why did you agree to judge a dance show?

When Hamza Ali Abbasi said that he has to leave acting because he wants to explore his religion more, he implied that one could not be done with the other. And this has far-reaching consequences because to others who continued acting out of passion; he suggested that you’re clearly in the wrong.

Self-Proclaimed Righteousness

What was more humorous to many was how he introduced his wife to the world. He spoke about doing things the “halal” way and called out the idea of “dating” only to describe the dates he had with his wife. People who have a more excellent knowledge of Islam also pointed out that what you’re doing isn’t precisely halal either, so what gives you the right to call out others?

Sure we’re all learning as we grow older, but what does not suit anyone is the “holier than thou” attitude that Hamza Ali Abbasi has been guilty of owning more often than not.

Since the dawn of time, if we’re exploring from an evolutionary perspective, communication has been a vital part of being alive. Being able to transfer messages between one another is how humans can understand.

As time went by, the communication tactics strengthened into something more concrete and widespread: Language. Keeping the 21st century in perspective, here are the 3 Best Apps to learn a new language,

best apps to learn language in few days
Image Source: https://www.sciencesource.com

Language is considered an extremely prime branch of psychology. It is said that every language has a set of syllables and sounds that are common. These syllables can be recognized in any dialect, language. They are universal, but the reason behind it might have been lost in the folds of time.

1. Memrise: Entertainment meets work

The name knows the first application to be used as a language learning software of Memrise. This application employs the use of flashcards to convey its message and enhance the language learning abilities of the user. It also uses a unique technique that is most suited to the current era; Memes. When one sees an entertaining image with the translation to another language, it may give one a sense of curiosity to learn more about the language. This is so they may be able to replicate the meme too, even create better ones.

Of course, flashcards are one of the most efficient ways to learn anything, so their use boosts the time it would take to learn a language. Plus, there is no shortage of which language one wishes to learn, or even invent, as seen from the creator of the film, ‘Despicable Me,’ who created an entirely new language out of scratch, known as Minionese! Its diverse base makes it one of the best language learning apps for fluency.

2. LinguaLift: A severe road to fluency

3 best apps to learn language in few days

Moving on to the second application, this one goes by the name of LinguaLift. As opposed to the previous one, this app is more inclined towards the earnest learners who can devote more of their time to learning a language. What makes this application unique is that they employ instructors and teachers present on the application threads. Once a user is subscribed, they can discuss a specific language or dialect with any of the instructors present. They can even go as far as to complete quizzes and tasks provided by them.

The presence of a teacher speeds up the process of learning. The language learning application keeps 15-20 minutes of lessons every day, which is more than enough for a user to grasp a bare bone to understand the language.

All these features make LinguaLift stand out as one of the best language learning platforms!

3. Duolingo: The People’s Champion

Hardly needing any formal introduction, Duolingo stands as one of the most popular language-learning platforms available to the general public. Its most attractive feature is that it offers a cosmic level variety of languages, entirely free to learn. It combines the use of imagery and vocalization to indulge the user in the language regularly.

There are three levels of learning, starting from ‘Basic’ where the app teaches a daily lesson of just five minutes a day. Even those five minutes can be quite refreshing and mind relaxing. A TED Talk once stated that it takes a person approximately two years to master a language. Duolingo, with its third level of learning, can grant the user a bare-bones understanding in less than six months.

It gives regular lessons and even sends reminders through their notification feature and email with complimentary messages. These messages can be ‘The Duolingo Mascot misses you’ or ‘you haven’t visited us in a while, hope everything is okay.’ The mascot is a friendly, cheerful owl.

This, combined with a user interface that is fun and easy to use, makes Duolingo one of the best language learning applications to learn a new language in a few days. The writer of the article highly recommends this application!

Personal Reflection: A Girl Going On Solo Trip? Why Is It Unthinkable?

By

solo trip

The year 2017, when a speaker at a university session said, ‘all you need is the courage to get out of your comfort zone.’ I laughed.

“Does he not know this is Pakistan?”

“Does he not know I am a girl?”

I laughed it off because that man didn’t know what it meant for a girl to travel alone.

A solo trip… What?

But then two years down the line, it happened. I was amazed, shocked, and surprised at what had happened. I went to Turkey last year on a solo trip. It was a fun experience. All I needed was an approximate budget and some courage, and I left my comfort zone far behind. I traveled without any travel partner.

It led me to wonder what had come to pass to enable such a scenario. Because, who knows, maybe, a little brainstorming from my end may aid another girl being able to break those chains binding her as well.

Image Source: Mehak Zehra

Confidence!

So why does she not get permission to travel? Its because she asks for permission. Now please don’t get me wrong. I am not telling you to be rude or disobedient, no! What I mean is to say to you the frame of mind you are in. What happens most times is that you ‘ask’ for permission because deep down, you do not feel confident about your self. And trust me, parents pick up on that. They think if you are not satisfied with it while standing in your house, how will you manage all alone?

So first of all, be confident.

Uncertainty

Which leads us to the next point. What makes you ‘not confident’? The uncertainty of the future, of course. The fate of ‘what if’. But this is the point that we need to understand. Anything can happen anywhere. So even if some unforeseen incident does happen, which DOES NOT HAPPEN TO EVERYBODY, it will happen. How protected or sheltered can you live? Will that even be living? So if something happens, experience it, find solutions for it, and also grow a little with it. Because living is a library of adventures that you can reminisce about.

And yet, I am not getting ‘permission’ to go on a solo trip to Pakistan’s northern areas because it is not safe for girls to travel in Pakistan alone…

Did Google Accidentally Reveal Images & Pricing of Pixel 5?

Google Pixel 5 Reveal
Image Source: https://thesociallit.com

Google Pixel phones have always been known to stand quite apart from the rest of the market. This is because Google Pixel uses evolving next-generation technology in its hardware and software both. Google Pixel 4 was quite a great smartphone, with its price marked at about $799.

Google pixel is known for its camera, primarily. When released back in 2016, its camera ratings and quality surpassed every phone on the market. Now, with 2020 coming to a close, did Google accidentally reveal images and pricing of pixel 5, its latest invention?

Pixel 5 Images Reveal
Image Source: https://9to5google.com

What just happened?

In a recent tweet by Google Japan’s Twitter account, they accidentally posted the smartphone’s image, revealing its official design as well as its price. Keeping in mind that this was just mere days before the phone’s official reveal, there is much to be asked at this point.

Google Pixel 5’s predecessor was quite a successful flagship phone with heavy features and state-of-the-art camera technology. The artists behind Google pixel have spent hour after hour perfecting the camera of the smartphone. When it hits the market, it is indeed everything that is promised and more!

Pixel 5 reveal
Image Source: https://www.phonedog.com

Intel gathered from the leak.

“9to5Google” managed to capture the image of the tweet before it was hastily deleted. From that image, this is what we currently know about the new Google Pixel 5,

The phone will use a punch-hole selfie camera. This, in turn, will provide a near bezel-less display. This works in favor because no one wants unnecessary bezels crowding the screen. From the image, the phone is expected to have quite a simple rear design. It is also likely to house either a dual or triple rear camera array. I mean, is it a new century smartphone if it doesn’t have more than one rear camera?

The smartphone itself seems to be stepping down from the status of ‘Flagship’ since it will be deploying the mid-range Snapdragon 765C chipset. This is in opposition to the 8-series that the last pixel phones have used, thus the step-down.

Approaching the price range on the phone, it is expected to be approximately 74,800 Yen. This translates, roughly, to about $600-700. Even in its price, it’s a step down from the $799 Google pixel 4a.

However, there is no doubt that the photo capturing capabilities of the phone will surpass any other phone of the market at the time, or will be giving other phones a tough competition, at least.

What now?

This was quite a critical time for the leak to occur since iPhone is dropping its latest in about a month or so as well as OnePlus releasing its newest ‘8T’. However, despite the leak, there are quite a lot of software features that are in store as a surprise for the audience for when the pixel 5 is officially released.

One does hope that even if Google accidentally did reveal images and pricing of pixel 5, it can make a spectacular comeback at the official reveal!

This Pakistani Girl Says She Would Allow Her Husband To Have 3 Wives

This Pakistani girl on Twitter made a controversial statement that men endorse, and women loathe. Chances are, you have heard it a thousand times now.

See The Tweet

“Women With Big Hearts”

Now, under the said woman’s post who has so bravely decided to challenge this notion, are men who have fallen in love with her. By telling her husband can have three wives, she’s disturbed the debate as old as time.

3 wives
Image Source: A Muslim’s Writing

“He will be so lucky,” they say about her future husband, “No,” said the women. If she was looking for husbands before, now she does not need to given the influx of men in the comments below.

Let this be known that any woman who allows is not better than any woman who does not qualify.

The Invention Of Comedy By Husbands

This is as misogynistic as it gets in Pakistani society, unfortunately. Picture this; a married couple is at some family function where the husband jokes about three wives. His other friends will laugh as if comedy was just invented while the wife will feel that tightness in her chest at being humiliated. 

3 wives

Not just that, often some exceptional fathers also joke about “new mamas” with their children in front of their wives. Because for men in our society, marriage is just that, a marriage. It’s not a relationship with a sanctity that you are in; it is a formality.

Oh, and don’t forget that sword on your head as a woman, “Islam allows 4 marriages”.

Islam Does Now Allow You What You Want It To

Men will use the argument of Islam to back their claims when it suits them the most. They will fight for their right to marry four times and to have four wives. However, how dare a woman fight for the rights Islam has given her? Or you can bet your entire bank worth that they won’t know what Islam asks of them about their wives, nope! 

3 wives

Four wives are the ‘takya kalam’ of the men in our society. We are no scholars of Islam, but anyone who has even the least bit of knowledge will know that religion sets strict conditions to do that and with whom you do that. Having an affair and doing a second marriage in the name of Islam is not acceptable.

Pakistan and Pakistanis have been recognized worldwide from time to time, whether for making Kashmir’s side at the United Nations, our fight against Coronavirus, or even breaking India’s Guinness World Records.

This time around, its Pakistan’s very own cricket league, Pakistan Super League (PSL), which has been in a way recognized on American television. The famous American animated comedy show ‘Family Guy’ is now running its 19th season on the air and kick-started with its first episode called ‘Stewie’s First Word.’

The new Family Guy season has kicked off with a PSL joke featuring 2 of the franchises, Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars. In the clip, we see that the main characters, Peter and his friends, are sitting at the Clam (bar).

One of the characters, namely Quagmire, points out his frustration for the influx of foreign sports fans crowding the place every Saturday morning. He then points at two Pakistani men who are wearing Lahore Qalandar shirts to support their team.

We then see that one of the gang members, Joe, is wearing a blue cricket tee that reads Karachi. He then says, “I am rooting for Karachi, but I don’t have a death wish about it.”

The witty joke got caught-on by Pakistanis and PSL fans all around the world in no time and soon took over social media. However, some fans are unhappy with the clip as the accent of the Lahori men sounds more ‘Indian’ than Pakistani.

But, then many were just happy regardless of what the accent was that their home cricket series was mentioned in the show, and that was good enough for them.

What do you think of Family Guy’s clip? Please share your thoughts with us and let us know.

You will have to add your personal information. And after that, print the bank challan. Take the challan to the designated bank and pay it. After paying, go back to the portal. Now, complete the profile. Following that, you will receive the roll number slip containing your roll number, time and date of entry test, the test center, and the test stream.

UAF Admissions Entry Test

Even though UAF had waived off entry tests for almost all programs, they did not do so for the programs in Agricultural Engineering and Technology. That said, this is just for the academic year of 2020-2021, so check the updated news if you are someone who, let’s say, came across our article in 2021.

Anyway, the entry test for this program will occur at four venues; the main campus and the sub-campuses of Burewala, Toba Tek Singh, and Depalpur-Okara. The syllabus for the entrance test will be from the Intermediate levels Part I & II.

Weightage

The result will be announced on the university website. If you are successful, you will have to extract the voucher for the admission processing fee and submit it to the bank. Now, who gets the admission? The merit will be determined with the following formula.

  • Agriculture Engineering & Technology will be gauged on the ratio of 30:30:40 for Matric, Intermediate, and Entry test, respectively.
  • For the rest of the programs, admission is gauged on a 40:60 ratio, where 40 is more matric and 60 for inter part I.

Some important notes:

  • The university will note the applicant’s residential status based on the matric
    certificate.
  • The university will confirm provisional admission upon the inter part-II result.
  • If the marks are less than the minimum required ones, the admission will stand canceled without any notice.
  • If such happens with you, the dues that have been deposited will be refunded once you submit a proper application for it.

Done noting all these? Good, now go and begin the procedure. UAF admissions may seem harsh. But at the end of the day, your passion is what will help you get the deed done.

Pablo Rochat just released a Netflix Password and pasted it on a tree. And people are amazed at this intelligent prank.

Even after numerous streaming platforms popping up left and right, big names like Amazon Prime, Netflix following has not shown any inclination of decreasing anytime soon. After all, we watch our beloved dramas and TV series on Netflix. What we all love is Netflix giving everyone their favorite content, be it Korean dramas, Turkish Films, or American TV series.

If someone gave you a password, although it is a bit difficult, would you use it? Of course, you would! Please don’t deny it!

Well, read on to see what happens in real life when someone offers a free Netflix account password.

Pablo Rochat, the Prankster

Most of you probably never heard of the legendary art director Pablo Rochat. No worries, we can tell you, albeit a bit briefly. He is a prankster who played with the hopes of many by attaching a real long wifi password for ‘free’ on a telephone pole. So evil, am I right? Or is it? I mean, people keep asking for free wifi, and he is, technically, giving it.

The Netflix Prank

We didn’t see more of him in the mainstream media but guess what, he just made a comeback! On September 13, he posted a similar prank, but for a Netflix account, the password was abnormally long and twisted, ‘literally twisted.’

It was hilarious, and as we can see from the reactions online, most people loved this one as well. Some brave, brave people asked what was festering in all of our minds, ‘Does the password work?/Is the password valid?’. Those people even went on to say that if someone confirms it, they should send it to them. I mean, SAME.

Good luck 🙂

Did you like this prank or not? I mean, we know that we feel played with. A chance at a free Netflix account is like a dream come true. And some of us, we can’t dream of Netflix accounts and have to make do with YouTube. Youtube is great, but mostly doesn’t have the kind of content we want.

So anyway, if we had to rate this prank, this would be a 7/10. It was funny, but he did do almost the same thing before.

Let’s wait and see what new prank he comes up with because while a little upsetting; they are a bit fun.

5 Ways Extensive Use Of Phone Is Affecting Our Health

Extensive Use Of Phone Affects Our Health In Unprecedented Ways

In today’s fast pacing world, cellphones have become more of a necessity than a luxury. So much so that we often underestimate the ways extensive use of phone attacks our health bit by bit. It works like slow poison. Want to know how? Read ahead!

5  Ways Extensive Use Of Phone Is Affecting Our Health

1. Sleep disorders

As per studies, the blue light spectrum that is formed by our smartphones is capable of limiting the production of melatonin. Melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone, works as the sleep-wake cycle regulator. Making us tired/sleepy at night and waking us up in the morning, melatonin is rightfully called the ‘hormone of darkness.’ The radiations emitted by our phones limit the production of this hormone, making us vulnerable to sleep disorders such as insomnia.

2. Depression

The extensive use of phones is extremely detrimental to our physical as well as mental health. Given that mental health is as important as our physical health, we should not underestimate the damage that excessive use of smartphone causes to our mental wellbeing. Are you not guilty of scrolling through your Instagram feeds for hours? Don’t you check your friend’s Snapchat stories regularly?

Well, we all do. However, this mindless scrolling through the happy snaps shared by your friends inevitably makes your mind a breeding ground for insecurities and self-doubt. Social media always portrays a deceptive image of the seemingly perfect lives of others while making you feel deprived on a deeper level. This can make you prone to extreme clinical depression or other mood disorders.

3. Chronic Pain

Have you ever paid heed to your posture when you sit all day using your cell phone? No? Well, you should! If you really want to know why your back hurts like hell when you spend almost half of your day glued to the phone. Carrying the phone in both our hands puts us into a weird posture without us realizing it. This causes extreme chronic neck and back pain making us feel restless for the rest of the day.

4. EyeSight Problems

According to research, excessive exposure to the blue light emitted by our phones (and other devices such as laptops and tablets) can have detrimental effects on our eyes. It can prove to be poisonous for our photoreceptor cells and can damage them to such an extent that we may become susceptible to eye vision problems — most commonly the loss of eyesight (to a significant bit if not entirely). Also, staring at a small screen for a long time puts a lot of strain on our eyes, which is again ‘extremely harmful.’

5. Cancer

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (which is, by the way, a part of WHO), it’s safe to assume that the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields that are radiated by our cellphones can possibly be cancer-causing agents because there is some evidence that suggests that extensive usage of phones can increase the risk of glioma. Glioma is a brain tumor that is usually (but not necessarily) malignant and can spread. If the patient is lucky enough, it may as well be treated via radiation therapy.

So, are you planning to give up on the guilty pleasure of using your phone extensively? Let us know in the comment section below!

Aiman Khan Trolled For Endorsing 2 Different Hair Oil Brands

Celebrities are often found in endorsing products. For instance, Esra Bilgic was seen as supporting Jazz. But one thing all-stars, and brands as well, take absolute care of is, they ensure that at one point in time, one celebrity does not endorse rival products. So Esra will not be seen supporting Ufone for at least some period even after her contract ends with Jazz. And yet Aiman Khan became the ambassador for two similar brands back to back.

These two brands are Hair energy and Mystic Care. Both brands see Aiman Khan talking about how her chemically-treated hair was dwindling. But after she started using the product(s), her hair recovered. Her hair does look great, by the way. But which one worked for her?

Hair energy representative commented on a Facebook post when people asked a similar question that hair energy did it first. But what is that supposed to mean? If they did it one day before than the other brand, they are more authentic? Or that Aiman was introduced to Hair Energy a day earlier, so they saved Aiman’s hair?

Aiman Khan

When people endorse a product, they are ethically expected to have used it. And upon finding that it works, then only they should take it to their fan following. Since Aiman’s endorsing’s, according to these followers, goes against these rules, they started trolling Aiman.

1. Rasoray main Aiman Khan thee, ya Minal?

This one person indicated that Aiman would back away from this claim. Instead, she will say that it was indeed her twin sister Minal. Let’s speculate then, shall we? If she says that, then which one would be Minal endorsing and why would Minal have had chemically treated hair?

Aiman Khan

2. Mix them? Intelligent

This one follower would do well as a politician, honestly. He suggested that since Aiman endorsed both, why don’t you mix both and then use them. Intelligent, maybe that is precisely what Aiman also went for. She couldn’t mention that she pulled a ‘mommy totka’ – mixed some oils with a little bit of Fenugreek seeds and voila – so she endorsed them separately.

3. Actions are louder, or was it, gifs?

You don’t need to write what you mean anymore as long as you post the right gif. And as Bugs Bunny indicates, ’tis all about the “green paper.”

Well, the green paper or not, Minal Khan or not, when buying something for yourself, you should always do your proper research. Because at the end of the day, you are responsible for yourself, not Aiman Khan, or a hair oil brand. So let’s make informed shopping decisions.

4 Factors to Consider Before Buying A New Smartphone!

Factors to consider for new Smartphone

The 21st century brought about a plethora of technological advancements, the most apparent being the smartphone. Due to our dependency on technology more than ever and the fact that we need to stay connected to the internet, smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. It can be quite a ritual that leads up to one buying a new smartphone.

Here Are 4 Factors to Consider Before Buying A New Smartphone!

1. The Chipset (primary factor to consider)

4 Factors to consider for buy
Image Source:https://www.androidauthority.com

One of the most vital parts of a smartphone is its processor, its CPU. In a smartphone, it is referred to as a chipset. If the phone houses an obsolete chipset, it will be more prone to hanging, heating up, and shutting down randomly. This is because the processor is so outdated; the applications are having a nightmare trying to run on it.

There will come a time when the app updates beyond the limits of the processor, and the user is forced to use an older version of the app forever. iPhone tends to stick to this principle a lot. It deliberately updates its apps in a manner that they eventually stop working on older models. This is also a smart marketing strategy to get the audience to buy newer products. Some widely known chipset types are SnapDragon, Exynos, Kirin, MediaTek, etc.

In the SnapDragon series, anything below the 600 series is considered obsolete. So, its extraordinarily vital one check how recent the chipset is.

2. The Storage (secondary factor to consider)

Applications today consume a whole lot of space, mainly social media applications like Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp. The applications, preferably the photos and videos the user clicks, also consume a substantial amount of storage.

There was a time once when a 32 MB memory card in a PlayStation 2 seemed so much storage. Now, it appears that 32 GB seems less too. If one does not consider the factor of storage in a smartphone, they spend a lot of their time just deleting and removing files, trying to get that piece of media downloaded. 32 GB can be quite ample for an average user, though. 64 GB, however, is highly recommended.

3. The RAM (tertiary factor to consider)

The RAM on a smartphone determines how many tasks a phone can handle at a time. If there is not enough RAM, the level of frustration and anger is regarded as the same as less storage. The user will spend all of their time shutting off different applications just so their phone does not heat up or hang.

Older models used to be equipped with as high as 1 GB of RAM, which used to be quite enough for handling multiple processes. However, with the advancement in smartphone technology, the minimum recommended RAM is 4 GB. Even at 2, the phone has a 40% chance of heating up if more than six applications open on the smartphone. Additionally, it is better to get a phone with RAM in the even-numbered area, such as 2,4,6 rather than 1,3. This is because smartphone architectures are better equipped to handle even-numbered figures.

This is just like how RAM in a PC should preferably be in an even number and similar sticks.

Plus, better RAM means better gaming too.

4. The Battery (additional factor to consider)

Back when smartphones were not a thing, and button phones by Nokia and Motorola were all the rage, the battery was never an issue. One could charge the phone to its max, and that charge could last four to five days, easily. With more features, more applications, and processes consuming battery power, this became an issue in smartphones. Battery power usually comes in the unit of mAH. If the phone, nowadays, is any less than 3000 mAH, the user will be charging the phone more than six times a day.

Having a battery power of at least 4000 – 5000 mAH can guarantee two to two and a half days of battery on regular use.

These are mainly the four factors to Consider Before Buying A New Smartphone!

Pakistani Women Lose Control During A Sale & It’s Shocking!

Branded clothes have become a sort of status symbol for women. The wardrobe the women possess speaks volumes about where woman shops from. To attract more consumers, brands initiate discounted sales. And so brands often use national days, holidays, etc. to have a deal and invite potential consumers.

(Too) Excited Women? 

But what happened at Beechtree? The brand had one of its usual sales. Now Pakistani women are known to get excited about looming sales. But given the current COVID situation, the women could have been more careful. But at the face of lower-cost branded clothes, the SOPs were forgotten or more like ethics were forgotten.

BEECH TREE sale😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Really disgusting

Posted by Sana Nafees on Sunday, September 27, 2020

Some time what happens is when a collection comes out or a sale starts, women buy them in bulk and sell them at a higher cost later on. While these women do their businesses, some women do not want to buy them at higher prices and prefer buying directly from the brand. So among these women, a brawl starts, and such has been seen on numerous occasions.

Brand Sale…Sunday Bazaars?

It is sad to witness such sides of the Pakistani population every time it comes across our screen. And we have seen it happen in the stores of trendy brands; brands that attract supposedly educated gentry. Looking at these videos, one is instantly reminded of the Sunday bazaars that were once Pakistan’s norms and maybe still are. While they would attract every kind of SEC, they were more cultured and more disciplined.

COVID?

However, we have become used to Pakistani women behaving this way at sales, so why did it seem weirder this time? Why did it seem more disgusting? It is because of the COVID situation. In the video, we can see women falling on each other, attacking the products, gathering them with all their might as if it is the zombie apocalypse, and won’t get these branded clothes ever again.

Social Distancing

So maybe amid this zombie apocalypse, people forgot about the coronavirus. They forgot that to keep themselves safe from COVID, they needed to wear masks and exercise social distancing. Social distancing means saving at least 4 to 6 ft distance between each other. And knowing that in Pakistan, COVID’s second wave has already hit us alongside the fact that most of our COVID affected are asymptomatic, we should have been careful.

But I guess when we forget ethics, all the medical aspects take a backseat. So here we are, hoping that this sale would not have contributed to a rise in COVID cases. And that someone teaches these women how to behave appropriately.

Rumours About Mawra and her Co-Star

Mawra is starring alongside Ameer Gillani in Hum Tv’s latest series, Sabaat. The drama is gaining a lot of attention with each successive episode. However, what’s significantly fuelling the interest in the dram is the chemistry between the two main characters off-screen. 

Mawra and Ameer are all over each other’s grams, and they’re not shy about it! Is it just the good ol’ drama promotions, or is there a story beyond and behind the screens too.

As she turns a year older and hopefully a year wiser, Mawra Hocane put up some heart-warming photos. Alongside the shining, shimmering balloons, confetti, and other decorations, there were Mama’s Batter goodies!

For those who don’t know, Mama’s Batter is Ameer Gillani’s mother’s page. It’s the most delectable page you’ll come across with all the beautiful sugar rush things, but over here, it’s different. Mama’s Batter threw Mawra a surprise with gorgeous, floral decorations and chocolate goodies. You tell us what it is when even the moms get involved!

It’s the sweetest gesture but is it also a telling one?

Don’t Kiss And Tell

Mawra has mainly been discreet about her dating life always. There have been several rumors about her, but they’ve all died as time went by. The star just always has been vocal about her crush on Ranbir Kapoor, but alas, there’s heartbreak. When Kapoor got hitched, it seems Hocane had to land back in reality and find herself a beau close by.
