New Toyota Diesel Fortuner 2018 to Launch in Pakistan

Indus Motor Company (IMC) is planning on launching a new variant of the Toyota Fortuner in Pakistan. The variant is expected to be launched towards the end of February.

The Diesel Fortuner is a popular model abroad, and has been doing really well globally. The company has also tested the variant on the streets in Pakistan to ensure that the ride delivers the best to its driver and the passengers as well.

Although there is not much information available yet about the engine capacity, a source has said that the company is most likely to offer a 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre diesel engine in the upcoming Toyota Fortuner, not the 1KD-FTV 3.0L engine, which was earlier rumored.

Toyota initially introduced the GD series back in 2015. According to PakWheels, the 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre diesel engine has less compression ratio than 1KD-FTV 3.0L engine it has a compression ratio of 15.6 and has a horsepower of 175@3400 rpm.

Sources have further stated that the Toyota Diesel Fortuner can be possibly equipped with a push-start button, keyless entry, and power back door.

The estimated price of the car is estimated to be at PKR 5.8 to 6 million.

That’s not all, the word on the street is the company is planning to make changes to the current Fortuner model as well. IMC is deciding to make it a 2*4 vehicle instead of a 4*4, and increase its price by around 150,000 lac; currently, it is priced at PKR 5.4 mn.

Considering how Pakistanis are loving the concept of 4*4 vehicles, this is a good opportunity for Toyota to gain popularity in the market, not to forget the Fortuner is a popular variant for rally races which are quite in nowadays.

What do you think about Toyota’s Diesel Fortuner?

Snapchat Update: Petition to Bring Back Old Update Goes Viral

Chaos has erupted on social media! Snapchat users are angry at the company for the unwanted updated, and want the person behind the idea to be fired immediately!

In order to bring back the old and loved the update, users have made and signed a virtual petition which will be shared with the company so that they are forced to get rid of the new design.

Snapchat first started to roll out this new design back in December 2017, the design came to Pakistan in February and had the same impression as it did worldwide!

Individuals took it to Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms asking for help to bring the older version back.

According to many, the new design has demotivated 800,000 users and has encouraged the majority of them to move towards Instagram as an alternative option.

Afterall, the first look and feel, even the very first experience was very traumatizing and confusing!

Snapchat’s Latest Update Creates Uproar; How to Get Rid of New Layout

The petition went live shortly after the update started rolling out to users, pleads for the return of Snapchat’s old look.

“With the release of the new Snapchat update, many users have found that it has not made the app easier to use, but has, in fact, made many features more difficult,” it reads.

“There is a general level of annoyance among users and many have decided to use a VPN app to go back to the old Snapchat, as that’s how annoying this new update has become. Many ‘new features’ are useless or defeat the original purposes Snapchat has had for the past years,” the petition page noted.

“This petition aims to help convince Snap Inc. to change the app back to the basics, before this new 2018 update.” 

The company, however, has called for patience, and is urging users to give the update “a chance”.

Well, if you do not want to give it the chance Snapchat has asked for, you can also join in on the cause by clicking here.

Happy Snapping! Uhmm… sort of!

On a journey with her husband, the celebrity pair had the time of their lives while they watched a friendly match of the town’s PSL team, Multan Sultans.

However, apart from falling in love with the natives and their passion for the game, Shaniera fell in love with the City of Gold for more than just one reason.

She even decided to try her hand at being a local juice wali as she churned a glass of orange juice – the Punjabi way to really become a part of the locality.

However, there is a lot more about Multan that the world needs to know.

If you are into traditional architecture of historical value, then you are in for a treat as you have many places to visit.

So what are you waiting for?  Start packing your bags now and make your way to Multan in the near future.

International Media is All Praises For Pakistan’s Heart-Shaped Shimshal Lake!

Pakistan is a land blessed with utmost beauty, most of which is yet undiscovered by the masses! Due to the unstable security conditions in the country, tourism has suffered greatly.

However recently various internationally acclaimed travelers and adventurists who visited the mesmerizing northern areas have been raving about the untouched, raw natural beauty that Pakistan has to offer.

Their reviews are bound to give the country a tourism boost that it needs.

Another UK Publishing House, Marie Claire is all praises for Pakistan’s Heart-Shaped Shimshal Lake and calls it Your Next Big Adventure! 

Here’s what they write about the picturesque lake:

“This is Shimshal Lake, a natural, heart-shaped lake formed from melted glacier water, which sits in the Hunza Valley, Pakistan, near the Chinese border. “

Marie Claire further talks about the people of Shimshal village who are the pioneers of sustainable living!

“Despite being one of Pakistan’s most remote areas, the 2,000 inhabitants of nearby Shimshal village have become pioneers of sustainable living. They live almost entirely self-sufficiently, using hydroelectricity for five months of the year when the water is not frozen and almost all of the 250 houses in the village are solar powered.”

Aamir Liaquat Shames Reham Khan With a Revealing Picture!

Now that the Supreme Court of Pakistan has uplifted ban on Aamir Liaquat, seems like the televangelist is back in action and is even more aggressive than ever before.

The scholar-turned-entertainer is known for his savage comebacks and ferocious digs at people he doesn’t see eye to eye with.

His loud shenanigans, fierce arguments, and sharp satire have even landed him trouble countless times.

And yet again, he is facing severe social media backlash for a contentious tweet about the ex-wife of Imran Khan, Reham Khan.

Recently, Reham Khan has been in the news for giving an exclusive interview to an Indian channel. Disclosing some unknown facts about Imran Khan’s life and her former marriage to the politician, Reham faced extreme criticism for her bold statements and even got branded as an Indian agent.

While the British Pakistani continues to fight with all the keyboard warriors, Aamir Liaquat added fuel to the fire with an explosive post about Reham Khan on Twitter!

Here’s what he tweeted!

His caption said:

Bharti Channel Ko Interview In Kaprun Mein Bhi Diya Ja Sakta Tha Kyun K Baqool Un Hi Kay ‘ Loog Mujhey Indian Agent Samjhtay Hain Kyun K Mein Jhoot Bolti Hun’

All hell broke loose as soon as Aamir Liaquat uploaded the image!

People demanded him to immediately delete the indecent picture!

And of course, Aamir Liaquat got roasted for disrespecting Reham

PTI followers too condemned such an attack!

Twitterati blamed him for taking a low blow!

It is to be noted that Khan worked as a broadcast journalist in the U.K. After her marriage to Imran Khan, she transformed herself and adapted her lifestyle as per Pakistan’s norms and values.

Even after her divorce, she maintained her cultural conduct and pursues it to this date.

However, Reham Khan has stated innumerable times earlier that she will not be shamed over pictures of her past in which she has been photographed wearing western attire.

Suzuki Mehran & Ravi Lookalikes to Launch in Pakistan

unitedautomehran

We all know Pakistanis have a soft side when we talk about Suzuki Mehran and Ravi in particular.

Not only did Suzuki introduce affordable cars to the automotive market, there is something about both the Ravi and Mehran which has been associated to many memories.

However, Suzuki then decided to discontinue its most popular car yet, and now, another automotive manufacturer has decided to bring it back in their own style!

United Autos, which has been in the news recently is claiming to bring a better version of both the automobiles!

BEWARE: Fake Images of United Auto’s Upcoming Car is Circulating the Internet!

As per Muhammad Afzal who is the United Motors General Manager Sales and Marketing;

“The company will use Chinese technology to market its vehicles under the brand name of United. The local assembly of these vehicles will begin in the first half of 2018. Our car and pickup are not the copy of Suzuki brands. They are totally different and loaded with various attractive features and safety standards.”

Previously, the manufacturer has placed an ad in the papers asking for serious partners to start a new venture.

As of now, we do not know how drastic the change might be, whereas slight changes such as the shape of the front lights, back lights, a new bumper style, and such details can be predicted from the new company.

However, we do not think there might be any significant changes to both the models, until and unless United Autos provides us with more information in regards to their projects. We do hope that the company manages to make the cars more attractive by giving them a better makeover with a better and more elegant interior.

United might introduce its car after Suzuki Mehran completely dies, or it might launch it in 2018, this is yet not known. Their Mehran can be priced somewhere between PKR 6-7 lacs. The rickshaw maker is also considering to open a plant in Pakistan soon.

What do you think about United Auto’s new venture?

Child Harassment Cases Reported in Leading Pakistani Eatery

While we all had a ray of hope in our hearts that after Zainab’s rapist an murdered will be given the most brutal punishment, and things will fall into place, the opposite happened.

There are still controversies over her killer, Imran, and the number of rape cases against children has been rising. One father shares his experience of how his sons were harassed in one of Islamabad’s most popular eatery.

The father said that while visiting Monal Restaurant, his sons encountered suspicious activities. He further mentioned that while in the washroom, the sweeper was asking the boys personal questions, followed by requesting them to pose for a picture. To this, the children were hesitant so they refused, however, the sweeper threatened them that until they don’t, they will not be allowed to leave.

The kids then informed their parents and this matter was taken to the management. When the sweeper was called, he came in after 15 minutes, and when he was asked to show his phone, the kids pointed out that he was using another phone and this was not the one he used to take their picture.

Here’s what the father had to say

“My Sons went to Monal (Saddar, Rawalpindi) Washroom tonite. While they were about to leave the washroom, the sweeper who was already there not only stopped them at the door asked personal questions and asked them to pose for a picture. My sons refused and he stood by the door and threatened them not to let them go outside until they agree for the pic.

When our sons told us, we immediately went to the manager. He called upon the sweeper, who came a good 15 minutes later. Not only the kids identified him but also gave an exact description of the mobile set. However, the sweeper denied the allegations at all and refused that he took any pics. On our insistence, the manager brought 5-6 mobile phones and asked me to check. Of course, the mobile kids saw was missing but the manager and the sweeper were in complete denial of any picture taken.

Now, had the sweeper shown us the mobile and deleted the photos which he had taken, we would have left. But the fact that both manager and sweeper refusing to accept that any such mobile exist shows that there’s definitely something fishy about it. So we called 15 and eventually, police force from Cantt station arrived. They asked us to write an application ( pic attached) and visited the washroom and left with the culprit.

Half an hour later we received a call from the police station that they have investigated the accused and checked his mobile. There’s no evidence. We have categorically told them, that this isn’t the mobile from which he has taken pictures.

Its such a shame that a name like #Monal has staff that is involved in child harassment and their managers are protecting them.

We have taken Child Protection Bureau on board and will be strongly pursuing the case.

Update:

The mobile has been recovered and not only it had the kids pictures as claimed by kids, it is full of porn content. The police have confiscated the mobile and child protection bureau would take up the issue with the Monal management and owners now.

To all the parents out there, please be careful and ask your children to report the slightest of suspicious activities to you immediately!

Stay safe, stay tuned to Brandsynario for more news and updates.

Karachi Literature Festival: The Good, the Bad & The Ugly

Let me be very clear about one thing before you read this piece – I love books. I have been a book lover ever since I remember and nobody can stop me from reading books.

Yet I felt really disgusted on the second day of the Karachi Literature Festival when during sessions, people who may have never picked up a book, let alone read it – were seen taking selfies.

Later, roaming around to catch a glimpse of some kind of celebrity, be it in human form or in a ‘thing’ form, even if it meant getting a selfie taken alongside a dustbin.

Let’s discuss ways to improve the Festival that put Karachi back on the map at a time when bomb blasts were a norm and street crimes were on the rise.

The Good

KLF began at the now defunct Carlton Hotel way back in 2010 and since then, it has been a must-visit place for book lovers.

Although this year many prominent publishers were missing from the event, there were a lot of bookstalls that offered a great collection of books for book lovers of all ages.

The sessions were jam-packed and some people genuinely seemed interested in the sessions that offered them insights into their favored topics.

There was a session on Cricket, one on Shakespeare and a few on Showbiz featuring Anwar Maqsood, Bushra Ansari, Asif Raza Mir, Samina Ahmed among others.

The Bad

When there is a Festival, there are Selfie Addicts and nothing good ever comes from Selfie Addicts.

Be it a celebrity human being or non-celebrity grass, people took selfies wherever and whenever possible.

They not only disturbed the ‘peace and quiet’ of Beach Luxury, but later they took seats in sessions they can neither make head or tail of.

Then there is the issue of less Book Stalls because there were many publishers that had a stall last year, but were missing this time around for some odd reason.

The panelists got disturbed whenever there was an issue with the microphones and that irked the audience as well who missed crucial words in the discussion.

In an era when wireless mikes are a norm, why did the organizers persist with 50-year old technology is something they must think.

The Ugly

The BNN guys, during their 330-minute appearance, stated what was on everyone’s mind – was it the Karachi Literature Festival or the Karachi Eat because people looked more interested in fulfilling their stomach’s desire than feeding their minds.

A few years back, a few stalls inside the Beach Luxury premises were allotted for food which was extended to halls in the parking area by the next year.

This year, you could eat both insides as well as outside and we know what happens when Karachiites are asked to choose between books and food!

And finally, something about interesting sessions – no one wants to hear Salman Ahmed speak about his journey because there are far more important people around who have more interesting stories to tell.

Posted by Karachi Literature Festival on Sunday, February 12, 2012

One hopes that next year, people who compiled the yesteryears schedule will be more active than those who just want to get done with the schedule.

Suggestions

The only to improve the standard of the Karachi Literature Festival is to ensure that general public that goes to Sea View on weekends doesn’t end up at Beach Luxury – there can be an entry fee of Rs 500 for interested people who can redeem it at any stall inside.

There should be drastic discounts for book lovers as well otherwise, there will be no charm at visiting the venue when you can easily go to the shop or order online for less.

The organizers must also consider getting sponsors so they audience doesn’t end up with printed copies of the itinerary – the colored schedule that was common till last year has immense value even after the Festival.

They should also use wireless microphones so that the panelists should talk freely rather than get interrupted by the volunteers who are always there to correct the microphones-on-stand.

There should be a restriction on taking Selfies especially during sessions; those who are found talking during sessions should be thrown out so that they are not able to disturb others.

And finally, the food stalls should be less and book stalls should be more in number because it is not Karachi Eat but Karachi Literature Festival.

Popular Local Pizza Eatery Exposed by News Channel

In its latest episode, Khufia’s team raided the kitchen of popular pizza eatery ‘Pizza Max’ and of course the footage of its cooking area has left everybody cringing.

To our utmost horror, the fierce female reporter uncovered poor hygiene and improper storage system. The utensils and pans were rusted.

The teaser even hinted about the cheese being used in making pizzas breaching severe food violations.

A whopping fine of PKR 45000 has been imposed on the eatery along with a one month warning to transform the kitchen.

Levis Reveals the Real Story Behind Hidden Camera Controversy!

Todays’ world thrives on technological advancements, unfortunately, a lot of people end up using these for illegal and immoral purposes.

A recent incident in a Levis store in Faisalabad has created an uproar in the media. A customer found a hidden camera concealed away in a cardboard box in the women’s changing room while trying out her purchases.

The troublesome news was covered in a report by News Channel, 24.

However, the Levis management has mentioned that they were not aware of these hidden cameras and they seem to have been put up in place by one of the workers at the outlet.

In a statement, the brand stated that a mobile camera was found in the changing room which was in-placed by one of the contractual workers; who was fired immediately by third-party staffing agency after this event.

“At Levi Strauss & Co., the safety and security of our consumers is a top priority. We were shocked to hear about the situation at our Levi’s Factory Outlet store in Faisalabad and are working with local authorities to investigate the matter. The two individuals involved were employed by a third-party staffing agency and are not Levi Strauss & Co. employees.

They no longer work at our store and have been terminated from the staffing agency. We take any breach of our policies very seriously and are working to determine how this happened. We will take further action as needed based on the results of the investigation.”

Following this event, two individuals working at the store – an assistant store manager and a janitor – were arrested.  The store was immediately closed and was inspected throughout for potential devices, which were not found.

The company is working with the local police department for further investigation.

Hidden Cameras found in Levis Outlet Changing Rooms!

https://www.facebook.com/kolachian/videos/2019547731626610/

It is unfortunate to see the international clothing brand became a target of such controversy, however, it is also their responsibility to ensure the workers have a clean background and should conduct regular store vetting.

The lady who found the hidden camera called the police and upon investigation, the outlet manager was later arrested and taken to the police station.

How to test for Hidden Cameras: 

1. Phone Signals

You should be having full signals on your cell phone otherwise a camera may be interfering with the signal

2. Two Way Mirror

Always check the mirror by placing your finger on the glass, if there is no gap between the mirror and your finger it means it is a two-sided mirror and there may be someone watching from the other side.

It is better to check your surroundings before you begin trying on the clothes in any trial room be it a local store or a high-end retail outlet.

Always being targeted by the spotlight, he often finds himself in trouble over one social media outburst or the other.

This time around it seems like the actor has raised his voice against Physicist Dr. Hoodbhoy who shared his thoughts on the senseless Valentine’s Day Ban in Pakistan!

Here’s what Dr. Hoodbhoy posted on Facebook!

While this is what, Hamza Abbasi replied to the Physicist.

“So Mr Hoodbhoy, U expect Molvis to teach physics & make rockets? Maybe if Physicists like U focus more on ur work rather than spending all ur time debating with Molvis, maybe U could help launch a rocket into space soon? Btw, Pak is planning to launch a satellite by 2020!”

The tweet by Hamza Ali Abbasi caused quite a stir over the Internet and Nadeem Farooq Paracha trolled Abbasi with this reply!

“Dear Hamza, if we can expect actors to teach us morality, ethics and piety, then why can’t Dr. Hoodbhoy expect molvis to teach physics? For heavens sake, get some filters, already.”

Ali Moeen Nawazish Talked about Hamza Abbasi’s Tweet against Dr. Hoodbhoy on Facebook!

“Hamza Ali Abbasi if this is the level of your Intellect then you are a pathetic disgrace.”

Whatever the Mann Mayal actor may have meant the reply, people believed, Hamza seems to be supporting the Valentine’s Ban and was bashed on social media about it.

Here’s what people had to say about in on social media!

 

 

Instagram is Testing Screenshot Alerts for Insta Stories!

Well, at first it was a rumor but it looks like Instagram is actually going with the idea of rolling out screenshot alerts for Insta Stories!

The company wants to ensure user privacy, thus they are testing the new feature.

Users included in the test are getting a warning that the next time they take a screenshot of a friend’s story the friend will be able to see it! The users who participated in the test also saw the name of the individual who took a screenshot of their story!

Instagram has acknowledged the testing of this feature;

“we are always testing ways to improve the experience on Instagram and make it easier to share any moment with the people who matter to you.” 

Yet again, this is another ‘Snapchat inspired’ feature as users also receive screenshot notifications when someone takes a shot of the Snap-Stories.

We are yet to see how popular this feature becomes overtime, however, then again, it might also cause the number of views to go down in order to prevent alerts to be rolled out.

What is your thought about this new feature?

Karachi Motorway Police Start Crackdown Against Fancy Number Plates

While the Sindh police department seems to be care-free about the laws being broken and ignored in regards to fancy numberplates, the motorway police have decided to take things into their own hands!

The motorway police at M9 Motorway, which connects Karachi with Hyderabad, has started a crackow against vehicles which is geared with fancy plates.

Motorway Police spokesperson, Naeem Siddiqui, said the action started from Sunday, and they have already removed 500 illegal number plates, and have stopped 225 tinted vehicles.

Drivers of the cars were fined accordingly for the violation.

“For three consecutive days prior to the action, the Motorway Police advertised in print and electronic media about the impending action. The drivers of the vehicles who were violating the rules were personally briefed by the staff in this regard,” he said.

He further added that the action will continue on a regular basis. Motorway Police sector III SSP Karamullah Soomro, National Highways, and Motorway Police Inspector-General Dr. Syed Kaleem Imam has said that the operation will continue on a regular basis.

Excellent move by the motorway police!
