Is PIA Shutting Down?

PIA

The Government of Pakistan has obtained support from lawmakers to declare Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) “bankrupt” and ultimately shut down the aviation service.

Prime Minis­ter’s Adviser on Aviation, Sardar Mehtab Abbasi told  the Senate Special Committee on the Per­formance of PIA that:

“Such a recommendation from a parliamentary committee will help the government take the difficult decision that it is otherwise hesitating to take.”

Apparently, the committee met to talk about the recommendations to overhaul PIA. It also discussed the round of episodes that have been damaging the reputation of PIA.

It is reported that Sardar Mehtab Abbasi gave the following suggestions to the committee, that are:

  1. Let the PIA run the way it currently is operating
  2. Operate it in loss
  3. Declare the flag  carrier bankrupt and shut it down
  4. Restructure it

However, according to Dawn, Committee Chairman Mushahidullah Khan is not in favor of shutting down PIA:

“We believe that a few good officers at the top could restore PIA’s lost glory”

PIA in Hot Water!

Last month, PIA has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. It has been reported that PIA is facing a monthly loss of a whopping PKR 3.25 Billion as per the Acting Executive Chief Officer, Nayyar Hayat.

What is more, a video of a pilot caught sleeping in the passenger compartment ignited a furor on social media. Apparently, he had handed over the plane to an under-training pilot.

Another video also had been leaked in which a PIA allowed a Chinese woman entry in the cockpit for the whole journey.

Last week, as many as 13 PIA officials were detained at the London’s Heathrow airport over alleged security threats.

So what will the government eventually decide? Let’s wait and watch!

Emily Ratajowski

Celebs normally stun in black but this gothic look is not working for Ratajowski at all.


Naomi Harris

Definitely too much color for the Cannes! The rainbow dress by Gucci was a miss and reminds us of our desi ‘gola-ganda’ dessert.

Robin Wright

Looks like the ‘House of Cards’ star forgot to change before getting out of bed. The skimpy emerald green gown surely resembles a nightgown. Paired with pink slippers this was a definite fashion fail!

 

Rihanna

The queen of controversial dressing, Rihanna’s black Ralph and Russo did not suit ‘bad girl riri’s’ eccentric style!

BMW X1 SUV Price, Specs, Features & More

Yes, it’s hard to believe that a BMW car can be available for fans in Pakistan at an incredible price. Not just any BMW, but the second-generation crossover, BMW X1 SUV! 

The X1 was launched last year targeted towards Pakistani consumers as an SUV with world-class features. Aimed at giving drivers and their passengers’ one of the best driving experiences ever. Everything and more for a low price that is.

Engine

The powerful SUV has a 1.5 L Turbocharged DOHC 3-cylinder engine. It combines efficiency and performance to give the best results. The engine is a combination of innovative turbocharging and latest injection technology. It can produce 136 BHP @ 4500-6000 RPM and comes with a 6-speed gearbox with a manual and optional automatic transmission, giving out 220 NM of torque.

Engine  
Cylinders/valves 4/4
Capacity in ccm 1,998
Stroke/bore in mm 94.6/82.0
Max. output in kW (hp) at 1/min 141 (192)/5,000
Max. torque in Nm at 1/min 280/1,250
Compression ratio 1:11.0

Design

The BMW X1 interprets the characteristic appearance of a SAV in a manner which is versatile and dynamic in equal measure. Whether in an urban setting or off-road, its powerfully defined silhouette with a long wheelbase and short overhangs cuts an impressive figure.

It combines an athletic design with compact exterior dimensions, without compromising on flexibility or on the generous amount of space in both rows of seats. The combination of high-quality materials and matching integrated accents skilfully rounds off the BMW X1 look.

Exterior

Its mere appearance awakens the spirit of discovery: This is where the stylistic features of an SUV concept meet the dynamics and athleticism of an urban lifestyle. With its high roofline, the body creates an especially generous sensation of spaciousness in the interior.

Optional xLine extras in sanitised Aluminium on the body reinforce the athletic look and the visual association with the X family.

They also give the front and rear their distinctive appearance. These characteristic features, which are also available in numerous exclusive paint finishes, additionally afford protection against chip damage during off-road excursions.

Aerodynamic excellence and the accompanying reduction in fuel consumption are guaranteed by details such as the side Air blades on the tailgate and the Air Curtain integrated into the air inlets at the front. It also features the Panorama Glass Roof which provides mesmerising views and allows a great deal of light into the interior, lending it a particularly spacious and open ambience.

Interior

The BMW X1 surprises with the familiar. This is made possible by the customary driver-orientated cockpit layout with its extremely innovative and sophisticated design elements. The sense of touch plays a key role here:

Exceptionally fine materials and top-class finishing impress from the very first contact. Ambient light that is perfectly adapted to the interior as well as a selection of materials such as leather, fine woods and aluminium impress with their distinct quality.

Even attention to the practical details is clearly apparent in the BMW X1: The generously designed centre console with closing roller covers cup holders and additional storage spaces offer freedom and underline the versatility of the interior.

Technical highlights such as the optional Navigation system Professional with iDrive Touch Controller are positioned intuitively around the driver’s seat. As a result, you feel at home in the BMW X1 before the very first journey.

According to the Besharam actress:

Pyaar Kis Chirya ka Naam Hai, I don’t believe in love

However, Fifi asked why is it so and has she never been in love. Qamar replied:

I was in love. But I have not found someone yet with whom I would want to spend the rest of my life with

So what will Saba Qamar’s ideal partner be like?

 I want such a person to be a part of my life, with whom I don’t have to say much and he understands

For Saba, respect is very vital in a relationship:

The respect of your partner is very important. So it appears that you are with a “Banday ka Puttar” and not an “Uloo Ka Patha . There is no one yet which I can say that he deserves me!

CNG Prices Spike 4 times Over 5 Months!

CNG prices have spiked 4 times in the last 5 months. Fuel prices have increased from Rs 74 to Rs 75 and in some areas of the city, it has increased from Rs 73 to Rs 74 per KG.

The government had set its price at Rs. 67.50 per KG before Dec 2016. However, the government increased CNG prices by Rs. 2.18 in mid-December.

There are many factors which add on to this problem, for example, the lack of digital meters. At times, CNG station employees work with stations which do not have digital meters and easily cheat consumers by robbing an extra 1-2 rupees per KG.

Chairman All Pakistan CNG Association Sindh, Shabbir Sulemanji said that the price of CNG across Karachi ranges from Rs. 73 to Rs. 75 under the current regime. He said that adding up the costs for gas, taxes and duties, the prices have increased from Rs. 55/Kg to Rs. 61/Kg over the last 3-4 months.

Another issue might be electricity. Electricity tariff is also the highest for CNG stations compared with other parts of the country, this adds on to the costs including power bill, labour charges, etc. Activists work to solve this issue with the government, however, it will take some time to resort.

Automotive Sales Drop in April by 12% in Pakistan

Pakistan-Car-Sales

Despite demand, the automotive sector saw a drop in sales in April by 12% compared to the previous month of March.

According to  Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA)’s report states that 3 automotive makers, combined, sold a total of 17,443 units throughout April. Pak Suzuki sold 9,171 whereas Indus Motor Company managed to sell 4,753 and lastly Honda Cars sold 3,519 units.

One of the reasons behind the low percentage of sales is limited production capacity of cars ( with also includes replacement of new car models) affected the sales numbers negatively in April.

According to analysts, old cars have started to phase out, new cars are being warmly welcomed by consumers whereas the demand for cars which are phasing out has started to die down.

According to ProPakistani, local automobile players have been witnessing production constraints vis-a-vis the increasing demand in the local market.

The gap in the supplies and demands are huge in the local market due to the limited production capacity of the three main players.

Additionally, customers are made to wait for months to get their cars unless they pay extra own money for getting them on time.

For the time being, sales will remain low.

Farewell Misbah & Younis, We Will MisYou!

MisYou

Cricket has changed, for good or for worse, Pakistani cricket, cricketers, and fans worldwide have bid farewell to two of the most amazing, talented men who didn’t just play cricket, but lived and breathed it.

It was indeed a heartstring-tugging moment when Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan cricket team’s most successful skipper, no doubt one of the most courageous one, walked onto the field to play his last innings.

Who better to bid him farewell with a smile and a warm hug than the man who has emerged as undeniably Pakistan’s greatest Test batsman, Younis Khan!

https://www.brandsynario.com/younis-khans-retirement-gift-has-made-every-pakistani-proud/

The moment is best described in the words of a die-hard fan of Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan, Jarrod Kimber;

“Misbah walks out slowly, you only see him from behind, fiddling with his helmet, and looking a bit stiff. I think about all those times he looked like the fittest guy in the team despite his age, but now he walks like he’s 42, and then he swaps his bat from one hand to the other as he sees someone walk towards him. It’s Younis, and the first time I saw this, before Younis had even come up to Misbah, I was welling up.

It was exactly as I would want to see it: Misbah, slow moving and closed off, looking a bit worse for wear, while Younis, gloves off, comes down the wicket with purpose, not caring much for the state of the game, to embrace his friend and put a fatherly hand around his shoulder. And that is it, the last bit. It’s what they have always done, and will never do again, forget the emotions and go about their business”

Misbah-ul-Haq-and-Younis-Khan

An athlete is often compared to death as a metaphor when they decide to retire. It is the process of life after death for them, a new life, new career, new view in making decisions, and this time it’s not the country which they think about it’s their families.

However, when talking about Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq, this metaphor does not apply, because no matter how many years go by and how many years go by, Pakistan will not produce another duo like ‘MisYou’. What is most commendable is that no matter what life threw at these titans, the duo did everything they could have possibly done to make every Pakistani proud.

“Whenever you think back, you think I’ve done this and that, you always have a feeling I could’ve done this a little better. I tried all that I could on my part, with whatever authority and responsibility I had, whatever was in my hands, I did what I could. I tried my level best with this team.”– Misbah-ul-Haq

https://www.brandsynario.com/icc-champions-trophy-2017-these-12-cricketers-will-be-the-x-men-of-the-game/

From 2002-14, a black cloud had surrounded our Maximus, he witnessed the loss of 7 family members (and friends) and had reached a low point in life. They included his father, three siblings, an adolescent nephew, a brother whom he described as his first cricket coach, and a cricket coach he described as a father.

All these departings occurred while he was away on tour, and was exhausted. However, despite what happened in his personal life, he stayed professional and continued to strive to give everything he had with each stroke he took.

Misbah-ul-Haq-Retirement
Courtesy: ESPN

“Patience is very important. The other thing, for captaincy, is that the most difficult task, you go there and do it yourself. If you do, then automatically players get behind you and start playing their roles.”

“The most important thing, in any situation, is to have players who truly believe they can do it, players who believe that whatever the situation, whatever circumstances, they are the ones who can do it for the first time. That is the key thing to bring, that belief in a side – who are the players who will bring that belief into a side?” – Misbah-ul-Haq

MisYou
Courtesy: ESPN

Thank you Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan, thank you for all those victories, thank you for all the memories, thank you for that precious hug, thank you for your dedication your patriotism and for your sacrifices.

We will MisYou!

PSL 3 2018: Zalmi Wants to Host Matches in Peshawar!

 

‘Andaz-e-Sitam’ Urdu1 Drama Review: A Story With A Twist We Didn’t See Coming!

Andaz-e-Sitam is one drama that has kept us guessing on what will happen next. Wamiq (Agha Ali) and Ayat’s (Kubra Khan) story took a twist we didn’t think was possible for a Pakistani drama! Badboy Wamiq was sentenced to jail for kidnapping Ayat and we did not see that coming!

Instead of the usual, Andaz-e-Sitam follows a different approach due to the strong storyline by the writer for the show, Enam Hasan.

The story fast-forwards to when Wamiq is now out of jail and totally broke as his mother has been tricked into giving all his wealth to his ex-girlfriend. On the other hand, Ayat and Salman (Faris Shafi) are married but their relationship surely disappoints. We would have thought Ayat would have found love with the Romeo, Salman by now. We wonder when Ayat will realize what she truly means for Salman!

In the latest episode, Ayat finds out from her daughter about Wamiq being appointed as her new teacher and this has definitely put her at her wit’s end. She was hoping to keep it from Salman but alas, he walks in with perfect timing and is then upset as to why he was not informed about Wamiq’s return before.

Wamiq’s new avatar!

Iske dimagh mei koi sir Wamiq aa rahay hain. Every Thursday at 8:00 PM on #Urdu1 #AndazESitam

A post shared by Urdu1 (@urdu1tv) on


What we noticed in this episode is the change in Wamiq, is he moving away from his spiteful ways? The way he speaks to his daughter will definitely melt your heart. But after all, a part of us still wonders if all of this is just an act? We’ll find out in the coming episodes.

Urdu1’s Andaz-e-Sitam is directed by Ali Hassan and produced by Big Bang Entertainment. The story has been one of twists and turns and always leaves us anticipating for more!

Find out how Ayat is going to handle Wamiq being around her daughter at school and whether the two will come face to face? That is something we’re surely looking forward to.

Watch Andaz-e-Sitam every Thursday at 8 pm only on Urdu1.

Reckitt Benckiser Announces ‘Hoga Saaf Pakistan’ Campaign

Saaf-Hoga-Pakistan

53, 000 children die of diarrhoea in Pakistan every year which means 145 kids are losing their lives from a disease that should not take even a single life. These are not just numbers but a daunting reality.

Pakistan is a rapidly growing nation, racing towards economic and social development. However, even in the year 2017, there are 25 million people who do not have access to proper toilets.

Nearly half of the households do not have a facility to wash their hands with soap and water. These sad realities lead to severe unhygienic conditions promoting various diseases which include the menace of diarrhoea, a disease which can easily be prevented.

On Saturday, April 29th, 2017 – Reckitt Benckiser (RB) and a Private Channel announced their partnership on a national initiative “Hoga Saaf Pakistan” a pledge for a healthier, cleaner Pakistan.

The announcement was made at the 5th Hum Awards 2017 at the Lahore Expo Centre. The CEOs of both companies, Shahzeb Mahmood of Reckitt Benckiser and Duraid Qureshi exchanged dialogues on the big stage where they mentioned the dire need of coming together as a nation and improving the unclean and unhygienic conditions that give birth to diseases such as diarrhoea.

“RB has collaborated with them, pledging to ensure “Hoga Saaf Pakistan” so that preventable diseases like diarrhoea do not claim the lives of thousands. This is a cause very close to our hearts. It is very easy to point fingers as to whose fault this is, but being privileged enough, it is our responsibility to initiate this change and work towards a Saaf Pakistan. With the support of fellow Pakistanis, let’s make this vision come alive.” Said Shahzeb Mahmood, CEO RB Pakistan.

“Mil Kay Lagaeingay Jaan, Toh ‘Hoga Saaf Pakistan’,”- Shahzeb Mahmood

ABOUT RB

RB is a company with a history of over 150 years, operating in nearly 200 countries of the world. It is a manufacturer and marketer of branded products relating to health, hygiene and home.

PIA Female Employee Attacks ASF Officer at Karachi Airport!

After the Islamabad airport fiasco, another airport fight occurred at the Karachi airport when a female employee of the Pakistan International Airline tried to slap an Airport Security Force (ASF) after he stopped her from entering the departure lounge.

The woman was identified as Ruqaiyyah Soomro and is working at PIA as an Assistant manager. Soomro has stated that the officer in plain clothes harassed her and that is why she tried to slap him. The national carrier PIA has already begun investigating into the matter. Controversies seem to have engulfed the airline, first with the sleeping pilot, then the cockpit scandal and now an employee being harassed.

As always there are two sides to every story and the ASF official says PIA’s female employee had an expired working card and her officer was situated on the third floor of Jinnah Terminal. However, the ASF official accepted that the way the the woman was stopped was inappropriate. While it was also reported to have attacked others that tried to solve the issue.

Pakistani actress, Sanam Saeed, lost her mother, Parween Mody Saeed, early Monday morning on 8th May 2017. She was reportedly battling cancer for the past couple of months.

Ma 1954 – 2017

A post shared by Sanam Mody Saeed (@sanammody) on

Sanam has also tweeted “Ma” with a link to her Instagram picture.

While speaking to Mrs Saeed’s nephew, Nasr Saeed, he shared that she was a second mother to him, a brave woman, who was larger than life, all smiles, filled with integrity, which can also be seen in all of her children.

He shared a eulogy with us;

To my Dearest Chachi One only feels something is missing when someone passes away. We tend to take things for granted when people are alive and well, and with us at our disposal. Our very own Parween Mody Saeed, wife and Mother of 03, Chachi, Phuppo, Mumaani and a lot more to numerous people left us this early Monday morn. I was privileged to have spent whatever time I had with her, in her illness and in health. A larger than life character who always spoke her mind and never for once minced her words. In this hypocritical world, she stood a world apart. To the bravest woman, I’ve known, gone but never shall be forgotten. May Allah SWT bless her soul as she touched so many on this earthly abode. Allah Hafiz Chachi.

Brandsynario shares its deepest condolences with Sanam and the entire family for their loss, may Mrs Saeed rest in eternal peace.
