Imported Luxury Cars to Become Cheaper After Tax Removal!

If you are a car fanatic, you are in luck! Imported luxury cars might see a drop in price! The Excise Taxation and Narcotics Control Department (ET&NCD) Punjab is considering removal of Luxury tax on all imported vehicles in the province.

The Excise Taxation and Narcotics Control Department (ET&NCD) Punjab is considering removal of Luxury tax on all imported vehicles in the province.

Importing luxury cars in Punjab might be affordable enough to encourage importing more cars in the near future. Recently, it was noted that drivers preferred going to Islamabad to register their vehicles.

Government representatives stated;

Due to lesser registration rates and quarterly token tax payments, majority of the imported vehicle owners prefer ET&NCD Islamabad, instead of Punjab that takes yearly token tax payments.

New Tax Implementation

A new tax implementation was placed on 1300cc cars. According to the policy, buyers were liable to pay an amount of Rs. 70,000 for a vehicle over 1,300cc, Rs. 150,000 for a vehicle over 1,500 cc, Rs. 200,000 for 2,000 cc and above, and Rs. 300,000 for a vehicle with an engine capacity of over 2,500cc.

According to a source, after meetings held in May 2017, a fine was considered for car owners who had registered their vehicles in provinces other than Punjab. The MVO Act of 1965 states that a vehicle has to be reapplied to ET&NCD for registration if it stays in a province for more than 120 days.

‘Mujhay Jeenay Do’ Drama on Urdu1: Saira Unable to Evade Forceful Marriage!

By
Abeer Anwar
-

The third episode of the latest social drama on Urdu1, Mujhay Jeenay Do, hit the TV screens on Monday eve and its plot left us appalled.

The drama, set to capture the social injustice of child marriages and the crime of physical abuse, has dived into the matter after tiptoeing around it in the previous episodes.

In this episode we see, the young Saira (Emaan Sher) being prepared, or rather forced to marry by her dominant brother and father. The fact that she isn’t eligible for marriage according to any law, is completely and blindly ignored by the men who are literally puppeteering the little girl’s life.

The women in the village are vocal about being against this injustice, but their plight is given no heed. Instead, they are silenced by the threat of divorce.

This is another issue in itself & Mujhay Jeenay Do brings this to the screen, highlighting how unfairly the women are silenced, even if they are right.

As the two men are the default caretakers of young Saira, they are hell-bent on using that authority into pushing her into marriage because only they know what’s best for her.

Well, they are also in a constant mode of pushing the idea of marriage on the widowed Naseeb (Gohar Rasheed).

What this drama does is, it humanizes the villains is such a way that you understand their point of views, proving that human’s are not black and white.

The drama unleashes the story of millions of girls that are married off in their childhood. It was a heart-wrenching moment when they showed the innocent Saira sharing a moment with her deceased sister Bushra (Sabeena Syed). She vowed to take care of her sister’s child, foreshadowing that she would have to live that vow under rather unfortunate circumstances.

They say that there are 7 people in this world who have the same face, they are called look-alikes or in other words, doppelgangers! We know that Virat Kohli has one in Pakistan, so does Imran Khan.

However, who would have thought there will be a Kit Harington aka Jon Snow doppelganger in Pakistan too, his name is Ammad Hasan Mir!

Ammad is a fitness trainer at IronBox and also the community manager. He belongs to Lahore and has studied from Lahore School of Economics. He is also a model and is currently coming in a drama serial too.

With longer hair and a built physic, this guy has transformed into the Pakistani Snow and it’s truly unbelievable how striking his resemblance to Kit really is! Check out the pictures to believe it!

We had a chance to talk to Ammad in a quick Q/A session. Here’s what he had to say;

Q) When did your friends notice the similarity between you and Kit Harington?

Ammad: “When I grew my hair long for NCA thesis movie project called ‘Rawaan’. It was shot in Balochistan. On the road runaway movie. Great experience!”

Q) Are you a fan of GoT and Jon Snow in particular?

Ammad: “I am a big GOT and Aegon Targaryen fan. Way before I started to look like him. Or people started noticing that I look like him.”

Q) If you got the opportunity to be a part of GoT as a character in the series, where would you like to be placed?

Ammad: “House Stark all the way! Since the last season, I wouldn’t mind House Targaryen either!”

Q) Whats next for Ammad? Commercials? Movies?

Ammad: “Currently I am working for Geo, for their upcoming drama “Jabeen e ishq”. Recently, I did an advert for Nurpur and signed up for other commercials which are coming up. Acting is my thing and acting for movies gives me that high. Living a character. That’s what makes it so exciting so end game for me is to act in movies definitely.”

Q) Which actress would you like to work with on the silver screen?

Ammad: “Well it’ll be a privilege to share the screen with any of the actresses. All are very talented. But apart from the diplomatic answer, I find Saba Qamar the most talented and I believe I can learn a lot. A personal fav!”

If you still don’t see it, how about now?

Oh, then there’s this too

This has got us wondering if there is a Cersi or Arya doppelganger around too!

Karachi-Smell

A report by the State Bank of Pakistan has been released, revealing the most expenisve cities of the nation.

Karachi has emerged as the cheapest city in terms of inflation, amongst the five major cities of Pakistan. The consumer price index (CPI) of Karachi was at 1.7 percent year-on-year in August 2017, as compared to 3.3 percent a year ago.

The other cities included in this comparison are:

  1. Lahore
  2. Islamabad
  3. Peshawar

“Among these five cities, the lowest inflation was observed in Karachi at 1.7 percent, while the highest inflation was observed in Lahore at 5.1 percent,” the State Bank of Pakistan said.

Karachi

The food inflation for Karachi was 0.7 percent and non-food was 2.5 percent. The central bank didn’t mention any reason for the reduction in the rate of inflation in Karachi.

Pakistani & Bollywood Celebrities Stand Up for Mahira Khan!

By
Ghazala Sulaiman
-

The latest pictures of Mahira Khan spotted with Ranbir Kapoor in New York have created a massive social media brouhaha. People are bashing our Pakistani sweetheart left, right and center with their aggressive moral policing!

The frenzy is attracting the most horrible reactions. The nay-sayers are bullying the actress, slamming her for ‘smoking’, wearing ‘inappropriate clothes, and even being involved in a secret fling with a Bollywood big-wig.

Some of the comments are downright disgusting, stirring nonsensical debates! A few months earlier, Indian publications kickstarted a round of rumors that Ranbir and Mahira are dating. Later the Humsafar haseena subtly shunned all the rumors and silenced the critics once and for all!

However, the haters have gone an extra mile this time around by slut-shaming the starlet.

 

Momina Mustehsan was amongst the first who stood up for Mahira Khan and gave the right shut-up call to the haters!

The Afreen girl was followed by many others who stood up for the Raees lady!

Meesha Shafi sent her love to MK with this killer quote!

However, it was Ali Zafar who won us with his heartwarming comments!

@mahirahkhan

A post shared by Ali Zafar (@ali_zafar) on

But then Osman Khalid Butt raised the game and roasted MK’s haters like a boss!

Mawra Hocane is too suffering from all the drama but did not hesitate to support our favorite Khan!

Her sister followed her!

 

Ranbir’s daddy, Rishi Kapoor too appeared furious and did not shy away from sharing his opinion on the matter.

“He can meet anybody whoever he wants to, and if people are going to invade in his privacy, it’s not done”

Strictly, he told people to stay away from the matter!

“How do we know that here’s something more to this picture? He could have met her just outside there”

Kapoor also cleared the air that all dating rumors about them are nothing but rubbish!

“If they were dating or seeing each other, wouldn’t people in Mumbai know?”

Fans of Khan rose to support her, showing they are forever loyal to her!

Point well made!

Can somebody also focus on Ranbir Kapoor, please?

Even the bubbly Bollywood beauty, Parineeti Chopra gave haters a piece of her mind over this whole controversy!

“It’s unfair. Today thanks to social media, everything gets blown out of proportion”

Many other Pakistani stars too broke their silence to slam the moral maniacs 

 

It is really heartbreaking to see the revolting reports that have made their way on the internet, turning the whole episode into a sickening scandal.

People should realize that stars have public lives too. Like many in Pakistan, they smoke as well and have all the liberty to make their own sartorial choices.

So the ‘haya brigade’ needs to get a life! Spread more love and not Hate.

The World’s number one biscuit Oreo is known to bring about groundbreaking campaigns and has recently rolled out a unique campaign called “STOREO” which has caught the attention of everyone and has every child hooked. “STOREO” fans are not just kids but digital enthusiasts and marketers who love the concept and execution of this brilliant campaign.

For children, the favorite part of the day during school is the lunch break. The excitement of eating delicious snacks with their buddies keeps them going throughout the long school sessions! And no lunchbox is complete without a pack of Oreo! This is where the Oreo series comes into play, the plot of which revolves around the importance of Oreo in every child’s daily consumption, as endorsed by the mother.

STOREO is a 5 part series which is a combination of 3D animated characters in a real-life setting which follow the story of a little boy, Ali, who forgets to take his pack of Oreos in his lunchbox. Whatever the case may be, no lunch is complete without a pack of Oreo and the Oreo gang makes sure that they make their way to Ali, passing through numerous obstacles and hurdles which come their way.

We absolutely love the attention given to the minutest details; each Oreo character has its own distinct style, different from the other. The short episodes are entertaining, engaging and will get you hooked. With the episodes ending on cliffhangers, we surely are curious as to what will happen next. Storeo reminds us how Oreo cookies have been a part of every child’s favorite childhood memories, having them for breakfast, lunch, and every time we had milk! The bond of Oreo and children has been there since…. forever!

Apart from having an exciting storyline, the series also encourages the concept of teamwork and problem-solving as all the characters need to work together to reach their destination.

It is a breath of fresh air to see such campaigns running by a brand in Pakistan, that give any international campaign tough competition due to the creativity, style and exceptional concept used. With 6 million views already, it is evident that everyone loves Storeo!

Catch the Stowaways at ‘The Vault’!

The heroes of Storeo have leaped off the screen and are on their way to ‘The Vault’! The Vault is an interactive campaign giving kids a chance to transport into the world of Storeo, all the while, meeting up with their favorite characters from the series.

Not only does the campaign bring the characters to life, it is also a great way for children to get free gifts and learn more about the concept of teamwork and friendship. The activity is being held at malls in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

What character is your favorite? Ours has to be the leader of the gang, the Oreo with the trendy blue cap!

Darren Sammy Shares Actual Reason Behind his Visit to Pakistan!

By

Pakistanis have loved and adorned the West-Indies superstar Darren Sammy with their heart and soul as he was one of the few players who came to Lahore to play the PSL final.

While a few cricketers had backed-off and while a few had refused in the beginning, Sammy was brave enough to say yes to the proposal, come, conquer, and lead his team ‘Peshawar Zalmi’ to victory!

Highly-praised 2-time T20 champion Darren Sammy revealed the real reason behind his visit to Pakistan in an interview with Fazeela Saba. He said that the team had become his second home, a family and that the team had assured him that he will be provided with top-notch security.

However, it was his mother’s advice which actually turned the entire situation around for the cricketer.

“We knew we had a decision to make. You know, like I said, Zalmi team was like a family, Javed (Afridi), Lala – Shahid Afridi and coach (Mohammed) Akram; but to me, my final decision was, when my mom told me to just go out and don’t worry about anything. I will be on my knees praying for you, whatever (happens), God is in charge! That was my assurance. Once my old queen (mom) said she got my back, that was the last thing I needed to hear and that was it.”

Thank you, Clara, for the encouragement! Because of your advice, you son is now one of the most cherished cricketers who has made history on our land, and will forever be in our hearts, along with you!

Salman Khan is loved all over the world and his fandom is evergrowing. Pakistanis are no exception and the nation is brimming with die-hard devotees of the Dabangg hero.

Of course, even our celebrities look up to Bajrangi Bhaijaan who have always vied to mend ties between Indian and Pakistan. So much so, he defended the boycott against Pakistani icons working in Bollywood, earning more appreciation from his admirers across the border.

Well, don’t we all want to meet the evergreen heartthrob at least once in our lives? Even those who are not followers of Salman Khan will surely find pleasure in meeting one of B-town’s biggest Khan.

Seems like somebody from Pakistan recently got Lucky and met the Sultan himself in London!

The daddy-daughter duo of Javed Sheikh and Momal Sheikh were the fortunate fans who bumped into Salman in London!

See their happy picture for yourself here!

Fanboy Feroze Khan also had his moment with the Superstar!

 

Sallu Bhai too seemed smitten by Momal!

Khan was attending ‘Dabangg tour’ in the city while the Sheikhs were there for the 1st International Pakistan Prestige Awards (IPPA) 2017.

Of course, these photos attracted a lot of eyeballs and some people were super envious!

Well, we really don’t blame them!

Momal and Javed Sheikh, both, have made their name in India by working in Bollywood. Let’s hope we see them in more projects of the neighbouring nation, especially in a one that co-stars Salman Khan.

Although visiting your friend’s house can be fun, after a few times it does become monotonous.

Whether you want to eat out, or just chill, getting a little fresh air is important for all of us. So, here are the top 7 places you can hit up with your friends.

1. Dolmen Mall

Endless shops, a giant food court, and countless stalls, Dolmen is the ideal place to just have a good day with your friends. Moreover,  the Sindbad in the mall is the best place for anyone up for some fun games.

2. Port Grand

There’s nothing better than having that view and having multiple stalls to choose your snacks from. You could go there for the happening fire dance that would look awesome on your Snapchat, or simply for the music that fills the air as you catch up with your friends.

3. Nueplex – The Place

One of Karachi’s finest cinemas, Nueplex, not only shows excellent films in great quality but is also known for its thrilling free fall ride. Furthermore, after the movie you and your group can eat some dessert, or even have a full-fledged meal at one of the restaurants in the mall.

4. Boat Basin

Boat Basin is the perfect hangout spot for early morning breakfast with your buddies. Nothing beats having a desi breakfast surrounded by the open air in good weather.

5. Pi Social

Now here’s a place where you can do more than just sip your drinks and eat. Pi Social offers you a chance to get together with your buddies over some board games and fun fights on ludo.

6. Chai Wala

Completely different from any of the previous hangout places, this dhaba style café is the perfect location for a group of teenagers to sit back and have a sip of garam chai. Let’s also not forget that aesthetic truck art background that makes for great pictures.

7. Scream

What’s so special about this ice-scream joint, is that it’s not just any ice cream, its LIQIUD NITROGEN ice cream! Who wouldn’t hang out here? (P.S they have a new branch opening at Sindi Muslim!)

What’s your favorite place to hang out? Let us know in the comments.
