Momina Mustehsan Spills The Beans About Danyal Zafar!

Momina Mustehsan is no less than a role model for the women of Pakistan! Her journey to stardom has been quite difficult. The haseena’s instant rise to fame came out as a shocker for the songstress who wasn’t expecting so much of a sudden limelight!

Within days, her personal life became the talk of the town and trolls were ready to attack her. But now the starlet is stronger than ever before. And this was quite apparent in her recent interview with Fifi Haroon for BBC Urdu.

Just recently, the 25-year old talented singer Momina Mustehsan made it to BBC’s Top 100 Women list and was giving major motivational messages in her interview.

However, Fifi could not resist asking her about Danyal Zafar.

#DanyalZafar #mominamustehsan

A post shared by ZeeBrothers Fan Club (@zeebrothersfc) on

 

Momina’s fans are always curious to know about the singer’s relationship status.

And the rumor mill is always hot with the gossip that the beauty is dating Ali Zafar’s brother!

☀️🌊

A post shared by Danyal Zafar (@danyalzee) on

Their Coke Studio duet, Muntazir radiated their strong chemistry and everyone was sure they are together.

Still the highest viewed of the season 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you 😊 💕 #CokeStudio10 #Muntazir #Strings

A post shared by Momina Mustehsan (@mominamustehsan) on

And now Momina finally has spilled the beans about the reality of her relationship with Danyal.

Happy birthday @mominamustehsan! Wish you all the success!

A post shared by Danyal Zafar (@danyalzee) on

During her candid heart-to-heart with Fifi, the songstress laughed it off that she is involved with the rising musician.

“Why cant a girl & guy be just friends?”

However, she admitted that she finds Danyal Zafar pretty charming and good-looking but she is not easily smitten by men. Stating that she knows Zafar since two years, Mustehsan revealed that there is absolutely nothing cooking between them.

She added:

“I am happy by myself”

And she even made it clear that she is not involved with anybody else either by quoting Faiz Ahmed Faiz:

“Zindagi Mein Buhat Ghum Hai Muhabbat Kay Siva”

What is more, she made a point that the interview was not about their relationship and gave the message:

Let’s not define a woman’s ID by a man

However, that was not the only empowering note that the darling communicated to the viewers.

Momina talked about how women in Pakistan need to rise for themselves and for the nation to prosper and grow.

She also added that Pakistan belongs to every minority residing in our homeland and they all are a part of us.

But the highlight of her interview remains the thought-provoking message that we should all think about. 

We admire her even more now, don’t you?

Shehzad Roy Appointed as National Goodwill Ambassador for United Nations

Shehzad Roy

Pakistani singer and social activist, Shehzad Roy, has been designated as an official National Goodwill Ambassador for United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

Yury Fedotov, UNODC Executive Director, congratulated and appreciated the veteran singer and social worker by saying;

“Throughout his career as a singer, social worker and a humanitarian, Mr. Roy has shown an unwavering commitment to tackling illicit drugs.”

He added:

“His position as one of Pakistan’s most famous singers, his enduring popularity with young people, and his energy and undoubted talent, will help UNODC publicize the dangers of drug abuse.”

All honoured, Shehzad expressed his gratitude by tweeting:

Shehzad Roy has previously received the Sitara-e-Imtiaz in 2005, a civil honour, for his efforts in the public service sector. He was also honoured with the ‘Sitara-e-Eisaar’ in 2006 for his NGO’s work for the rehabilitation of the victims of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake.

The singer spoke on this occasion:

“I have been following UNODC’s work even before joining them as a Goodwill Ambassador. Their work is commendable in the fields of criminal justice, drug demand reduction and HIV/AIDS prevention. These things are close to my heart especially when children are concerned, and I will give my all to my new role as National Goodwill Ambassador for Pakistan.”

He has been appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for 2 years. During his tenure, Shehzad will work on various UNODC goals including criminal justice and drug demand reduction.

Roy said:

“It is disheartening to see children imprisoned for petty crimes or drugs ruining the lives of young people. If I can help one child out of prison or convince just one boy or girl to turn away from drugs, I feel proud that I have made a difference.”

Many celebrities and social workers came forward to congratulate Shehzad Roy on this achievement.

Toxic Smog Returns to Lahore!

An intense fog has engulfed Lahore, affecting breathing and visibility, forcing the residents of Lahore to stay at home.

However, the smog is man-made, a mixture of smoke & fog, created by nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and other aerosols. It is highly toxic and can be extremely harmful to the lungs, eyes and the nose.

According to the MET Office, shallow foggy and misty weather conditions are expected in plain areas of Punjab and upper Sindh during morning hours.

Over the past years, a thick smog descends in Lahore every December. However, the situation has aggravated over the past 5 years owing to poor quality of air and increasing pollution. Deforestation and rapid industrialization are one of the vital causes.

Also, it is wrecking havoc in the cities due to reduced visibility and causing disruption in transportation.

The motorway police have issued instructions to drivers to reduce speed and switch on fog lights to avoid any accidents.

Reports reveal that the dry spell will last for as many as ten days.

Enraged Citizens Protesting on Social Media

The residents on Punjab are suffering from deep misery due to the ongoing weather situation. They are taking to Twitter to blame the government for not taking any precautions against the deadly climate change and heavy pollution.

How To Combat Smog In Lahore & Other Parts Of Punjab

Following are the tips and guidelines to follow if you reside in Lahore or any adjoining areas:

  • It is preferable to stay indoors until the smog dissipates
  • Minimize your exposure to smog by avoiding congested areas and traffic jams. Bikers and vehicle owners are advised to take routes that have the least traffic obstructions.
  • For asthma and chronic pulmonary disease patients, it is advised to have your inhaler on you at all times.
  • During smog, the ground level contains a higher amount of ozone and therefore increased physical activity may result in irregular breathing patterns.
  • Don’t keep your engines running

While previously, Wasim Akram had hosted a couple of talk shows, it was for the first Shoaib Akhtar hosted a program, that too a game show.

Together, the dynamic duo strived hard to match the level of Fahad Mustafa and Aamir Liaquat. While they did not garner as much fan base as their rivals, the pair did get popular for their funny skits and the audience loved them in avatar never-seen-before.

Umrah Pilgrims New Visa Law for Pakistanis Introduced by Saudi Arabian Government

As winter months approach, pilgrims traveling for the holy ritual of Umrah have begun preparations. However, there is a change in travel policies this year for Pakistani pilgrims. They will now need to get biometric verification before applying for the visa.

This new requirement will cost Pakistani pilgrims traveling for Umrah approximately PKR 1,040 Million each year. Due to this exorbitant amount, the Travel Agents Association of Pakistan (TAAP) staged a protest outside the Lahore Press Club on Monday to put an end to this tedious process.

According to the TAAP, the decision will not only double the miseries of the pilgrims but also put the personal and national data of the pilgrims at stake. The TAAP is urging travel agents to stop applying for the Umrah visa for a period of one month, this will in turn cause the Saudi government to change its decision.

As per ProPakistani, the Chairman Travel Agents Association Pakistan (TAAP) Muhammad Yahya Polani spoke on the on-going issue,

“KSA should review this policy. Pakistani pilgrims are mostly living in remote areas of the country and this will cause them additional hassle. Pilgrims have to wait for hours for this process”

The visa law has been put into effect from yesterday by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Every pilgrim will require a biometric registration before applying for a visa. Saudi authorities have now partnered with Etimad to implement this new law in Pakistan.

TAAP statistics show that last year 1.5 million pilgrims visited Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah from Pakistan while 185,000 performed Hajj.

The New Visa Law Requirements

  • Visa Fee PKR 60,000 Imposed by Saudi Government
  • Etimad office charges for Biometric verification of Rs 600 – 700 per pilgrim

Artificial Intelligence Defeats CAPTCHA Codes!

If you thought your internet was safe on the web, well, its time to re-think about that!

Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) codes are a common practice used by many websites and companies to keep information safe so that no virus or malware can access confidential data.

However, an AI just proved even CAPTCHA cannot keep your data safe if it’s online! Scientists at Vicarious AI, a California-based start-up, have built a robot that cracks the CAPTCHA codes faster than anything built before. The AI can successfully mimic the human-eye making the codes vulnerable in front of it.

The AI, named RCN, collects information like the edge of texts and their representation to draw an overall picture. Co-founder Vicarious Dileep George has said;

“We can’t even get any machine to recognize all the forms of just the letter A yet. Computers have to deal with missing and uncertain information, clutter and noise.”

This is a huge achievement for technology, however, it is also a concern for the rest of us as if this AI technology is in possession of hackers then it can be used to extract sensitive information including bank account details and more.

Looks like Skynet is one step closer to taking over the web!

 

PIA’s Last Flight to New York Today!

Pakistan International Airline (PIA) has forever been in hot water. The nation’s aviation service always makes it to the news for all the wrong reasons and it seems, today is yet another unfateful day for the brand.

Farwell to U.S.A Flights

According to latest reports, PIA has brand has decided to cease flights to the United States from 28th December.

The reason is the surge in losses over the past few months and the airline is no longer booking US flights through its reservation system.

According to the media reports, PIA, after stopping direct flights to the US, will enter into a code-sharing agreement with an American airline. US-bound passengers will be flown to London, where they will then be transferred to the American airline which will take them to the US.

Dawn news revealed that nearly 500,000 Pakistanis live in the US and the aviation service has never ceased its services for that country since it launched the operation there in 1961.

Coincidently, Air Blue now is starting direct flights to New York!

PIA in Massive Loss!

According to latest reports, PIA is facing a loss worth 4 Billion. The country’s flagship carrier is akin to a sinking Titanic with no superhero to save it.

Advisor to Prime Minister on Aviation, Sardar Mehtab Abbasi told Geo News:

Neither the government nor the airline’s management or its employees are ready to own it.

However, he believes that the airline has a lot of potentials to recover itself and rise from the ashes all over again.

“There is a lot of talent, a lot of potential, if they [PIA] utilise their potential to the maximum then things can change”

Surplus staff to Fired

What is worse, PIA is expected to cut more than 500 jobs under the latest plan. This surely showcases PIA’s sorry state of affairs.

Earlier, the value of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin had crossed over $6000 with a sudden rise in value. For almost 8 days, the value remained at $6,183 but then saw a decline and hit $5,800.

MasterCard to Collaborate with NADRA to Bring E-Payment Facility Once Again

Update: Earlier, Pakistan was surprised with a sudden news of National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and MasterCard.

Apparently, they had signed an agreement which would enable the Pakistani citizens to send and receive money.

However, the agreement went null after former Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar said that due to a security breach, this is no longer possible to move ahead.

But now, are ready to restore the deal once again.

NADRA-MasterCard Agreement Suspended by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar


MasterCard has announced its collaboration with NADRA Technologies to allocate the facility of E-Payment of all Pakistani residents holding Pakistani National ID cards (Smartcard).

The announcement was made during Mastercard’s participation in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2017, taking place from 17-20 January in Davos, Switzerland.

This technical advancement will allow all individuals to carry out all financial transactions and receive disbursements from the governement. This will be done through the 13-digit unique number every holder has on their ID card, which is similar to the numbers we see on MasterCard Debit and Credit cards.

Along time, residents will be able to use this E-Payment facility to conduct international transactions as well. This will eliminate the need to go to a bank every time a physical transaction is needed to exchange or transfer money.

According to the agreement between the two, MasterCard will use its next-generation payment processing technologies to process all online payments made by Pakistani citizens for the issuance of National ID cards, passports or any other document provisioned by NADRA Technologies.
