Women’s bodies have constantly been subjected to public obligations. Small or tall, thin or curvy, pregnant or not, they have looked like objectifying subjects rather than individuals. This perception of society gave rise to one of the most cardinal rules of feminism, i.e. my body, my rights. However, in our part of the world where feminism is deemed a controversial topic, women’s body rights have also been overlooked. Even worse, they are presented in a demeaning manoeuvre.

Every day, we encounter instances where a woman is judged for having a specific body type for wearing a particular outfit or whether she plans to hide or show that baby bump. However, this time, Ghana Ali is under the radar for sharing the news about her pregnancy.

The actress has been receiving a lot of criticism ever since her wedding. The rumour that she got married to an already married man spread on social media like wildfire, and ever since then, both, she and her husband, have become the subject of trolls.

Ghana Ali’s Pregnancy News

Ghana Ali’s pregnancy news also spread like wildfire over the weekend, primarily because she married only a few months ago. While the actress took to social media to share the news, people started pointing out how this was impossible given that it’s only been five months since her marriage. The actress posted a picture with her husband to celebrate the news with the world. She was dressed in a classic white outfit and showed her baby bump and that pregnancy glow on full display.

Timeline Of Wedding And Pregnancy

The media fraternity took to her Instagram section to congratulate the couple. However, most people are questioning the timeline of her wedding and pregnancy. As the wedding took place in May, people wondered how her bump was huge after four months. People need to learn basic knowledge about how bodies are different and may work differently under certain conditions.

Regardless the comments section was full of people defying simple logic and questioning her body. Take a look at some of the comments from the comments section.

While it’s not even a topic of discussion, commenting and questioning her body seems immoral and unethical. Meanwhile, no one has the authority to pass judgements on such a trivial matter.

Acknowledging our heroes is the least we can do because of whom we sleep peacefully in our houses. We usually do so for our martyrs who sacrifice themselves in the line of duty. While their sacrifice is important and needs to be remembered, those who return victorious are equally commendable. Every time returning as a ghazi, the oldest veteran of the Pakistan army, Sultan Mengal passed away at the age of 103.

DG ISPR bids farewell

Paying tribute to the efforts that he made for the Pakistan army, Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) tweeted about the passing away. In the tweet, it was said that Lieutenant Colonel Mengal was a keen soldier. Further, it said, he covered Pakistan’s terrain with the enthusiasm of an adventurist. He climbed, walked, sailed, skied, and rowed across the terrain on numerous expeditions.

Lt Col Sultan Mohammed Khan Mengal(R), Oldest Veteran (103 yrs) of Pak Army passed away @ Quetta. May the departed soul rest in eternal peace.

Sultan Mengal

As we scoured the internet to pay tribute in our own way, we came across a few of his pictures that show how active the Lieutenant Colonel was in his time.

Sultan Mohammed Khan Mengal, commonly known as Sultan Mengal joined the British Indian Army in 1941. From 1942, he was commissioned in the 5th Baloch regiment.

After the independence in 1947, he joined Pak Army. Consequently, Lt Col retired from the Pak Army in 1967, as the instructor at Infantry School Quetta.

Living for 103 years, he died in Quetta on Sunday. Living up to this age, he gained the title of the oldest veteran in the Pakistan army. In fact, DG ISPR announced this in their tweet as well.

People With Disabilities Can Now Use Android Phones With Face Gestures

Sep 27, 2021

The latest news about Android phones will surely make your day. In 2021, there is no place for technology that is exclusive. Why should differently-abled people feel left behind when we make breakthroughs with technological innovations? Android understands that and has acted upon it!

How Can Differently Abled Use Android?

Android’s latest feature allows people with disabilities to use their phones using a raised eyebrow or smile. Hands are no longer needed. Android has two new tools that put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work using other methods. For instance, they work by detecting face and eye movements.

disabilities people android — Image Source: NDTV Gadgets

As a result, users can scan their phone screen and do things by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouth, or looking to the left, right or up. Isn’t it commendable?

More Information on The Breakthrough

Google has said that to make Android more accessible, the system has been made more sensitive to facial movements. This change has been made because The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities. However, technology tends to overlook them.

While neuro-typical and typically abled can make voice commands or use their hands, people with severe motor and speech disabilities can not.

More New Changes

Two major new changes have been made as a result. One of them is called “Camera Switches” in which people can use their faces instead of swipes and taps to use their phones. The other change is called Project Activate. That is a new Android app in which people can use gestures to trigger an action! These changes have made it possible for people to use eye movements and facial gestures to navigate their phones without needing hands or voice.

Currently, the app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play shop.

Becoming Accessible and Inclusive

As of late, tech giants like Apple, Google and Microsoft are especially working to become more inclusive. These changes have brought a huge change: people with disabilities are made to unlearn the idea that they are not the same as others. Or, that their life can not be the same as others.

These voice-commanded digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can also enable people without sight— it’s remarkable what technology can do, let’s start using it to change lives.

WhatsApp Will Soon Stop Working On These Phones

Sep 27, 2021

One of the most used social media platforms, WhatsApp, was still able to retain a huge number of consumers even after the privacy policy controversy. Even though Telegram tried its level best to cash on the negativity and they did gain a consumer base, but WhatsApp was soon able to recover by launching its quite awesome updates.

What’s more, is that they are always working to add more innovative tech to their platform making life easy for the users. Not only have they made switching from iOS to Android easier but it is rumored that they are also working towards making the Android to iOS shift easier. However, in order to accommodate the new updates, it becomes harder to run the app on the old software. This is why, after a certain time period, WhatsApp terms certain phones incompatible.

Android phones

Phones supporting Android 4.0.4 and older will no longer have the application on them. This means that all softwares released before 2011 are part of this news. Given that the news implies it will stop supporting technology from ten years ago, it is justified; especially since technology is an industry where innovation happens every second.

Amongst the iOS software updates, WhatsApp will stop supporting the versions below iOS 10. All the phones with the older software will no longer have WhatsApp. Moreover, a publication also reported that other than the software, a few Apple phones will also stop supporting the app. of course, some of these phones were reported to be able to update the most recent iOS 15. It is not yet clear if the phones will not be able to support WhatsApp even after updating the software.

Money Heist Part 5 Volume 2 Exclusive Clip Released Ahead Of Final showdown — Image source: brandsynario.com

If you belong to that 1 per cent of the population who haven’t watched “Money Heist Part 5 volume 1” yet, then stop reading because you might cry if you were to read the ending of season 5.

Recap Of Part 5 Volume 1

‘Volume 1’ of the money heist ended on a sad note when one of the most beloved characters, ‘Tokyo’ sacrificed her life to protect the rest of her crew members. As she faced one of the most fierce and hated characters Gandia, she blew herself in an attempt to kill all of those around her. The scene left the fans in shock as they mourned her death for days.

While most of them think that she is dead for good, the majority of the people still believe otherwise. According to them, she has to be alive since she is the narrator of the show. However, the behind the clip scenes tell us something else where the actor was seen bidding her final goodbyes to the cast.

Money Heist Exclusive Volume 2 Clip

Sorry to have made you feel sad once again. However, today, we have got exciting news for all the Money Heist lovers. Today, we present you with an exclusive clip of volume 2 ahead of the show, released in December. Money Heist Season 5 ‘volume 2’ is still over two months away, but on Saturday, Álvaro Morte, who plays the role of ‘Professor’, gave us a first look at the final five episodes of the hit Spanish series.

The clip shows the group bickering in a typical money heist fashion, pointing guns while trying to find a solution.

“The professor has disappeared,” says Lisbon.

As the group wonders where the professor is, we can’t help but wonder if he has been taken hostage by ‘Sierra’ once again or whether he is planning something of his own?

“The gold is the most important hostage of this heist,” the caption read on YouTube.

Here is your first exclusive look at the clip.

The final five episodes of the show rundown will air on December 3. The fans are wondering whether the ending will be as tragic and heartbreaking as part 1. Or whether we will finally be at peace?

While we wait for the showdown and bid our goodbye to the show for good, we will be listening to ‘Bella Ciao’ on repeat as we binge-watch the entire series once again.

‘Travel Responsibly for Experiencing Ecotourism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’ (TREK) – is a collaboration between KP govt, World Bank & Nestlé to promote responsible tourism for a waste-free future.

Nestlé Pakistan, in collaboration with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s Tourism Department, conducted extensive training on waste management and sustainable tourism in Swat as part of TREK’s community engagement initiatives. Nestlé has also donated 2,000 reusable bags among communities in Swat.

Earlier in December 2020, Prime Minister Imran Khan had unveiled the logo for TREK, which is part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Integrated Tourism Development (KITE) project and has been listed amongst the federal government’s key achievement for 2020. The partners had vowed to work together for the protection of ecosystem through solid waste management and plastics recycling at the tourism sites across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Addressing participants of the two-day training, Tashfeen Haider, KP Additional Secretary Tourism Department said, “TREK is an initiative under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Integrated Tourism Development (KITE) project being implemented in partnership with the World Bank Group and Nestlé Pakistan.”

“Activities within TREK include provision of solid waste management equipment, awareness campaigns for tourists, and training of local communities on waste minimization that we just concluded under KITE,” he said.

Talking about the initiative, Waqar Ahmad, Head of Corporate Affairs & Sustainability, Nestlé in Pakistan & Afghanistan said, “We are excited that the community engagement leg of TREK has kicked off and these trainings for the hospitality sector will help realize our vision for shaping a waste-free future by driving new behaviors that contribute towards a cleaner environment.”

“At Nestlé, our vision is that none of our packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfill or rivers. To achieve this, we have set ourselves the commitment of ensuring 100% of our packaging is reusable or recyclable by 2025,” he added.

Kiran Afzal, Senior Private Sector Specialist, of the World Bank Group shared, “We are happy to bring this initiative to Swat which is experiencing an increasing influx of tourists. We are hopeful that this partnership will produce results on the ground by encouraging a responsible attitude towards destination management and respect for the ecosystem.”

Nestlé Pakistan’s commitment to TREK includes 2 pillars: A Massive Awareness

Campaign focusing on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and a Community Engagement plan which includes activities that will help in countering the issues of waste, pollution and destruction of wildlife, in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 12, 13, 15 and 17.

The two-day waste management training comprised of sessions on categorizing waste, the importance of recycling, learning to conduct waste audits, basic food safety, and the importance of WASH compliance among others. The event concluded with souvenir distribution for participants by Ghulam Saeed, Director General Directorate of Tourist Services and Touseef Khalid Project Director KITE.

In June 2021, the TREK communication campaign in Nathiagali was launched to promote responsible tourism in the Galiyat region. At the launch, 2,000 reusable bags were handed out to Galiyat Development Authority (GDA) for local tourists and hotel associations. Radio and social media campaigns have been launched. Furthermore, locals and tourists are being encouraged to keep Galiyat clean as part of TREK’s communication campaign.

This was followed by a two-day training titled “TREK for Healthier Kids” in August 2021. It concluded with the distribution of 4,000 reusable bags and 2,300 N4HK books to children in Galiyat.

Neha Rajpoot Called Out For Wearing ‘Vulgar’ Clothes At Her Reception

Sep 26, 2021

The wedding festivities of Neha Rajpoot and Shahbaz Taseer ended last night with an intimate valima ceremony. The couple looked bedazzling among all the glitz and glam as they started their journey together. Amidst the ongoing controversies, the wedding took place in a rather intimate fashion. Both Neha and Shahbaz were the centre point for a lot of criticism which stemmed from Shahbaz Tasser’s divorce from Maheen Ghani. Neha’s reputation was also tainted as she was being called a “gold digger” and “homewrecker”.

Neha’s Outfit For The Valima Ceremony

Last night, netizens found a way to criticize something once again as they saw the supermodel enjoying the night. The dress choice of Neha became the point of the public’s objection as she was seen wearing a beige coloured Sari. The blouse of the sari was backless with lots of intricate work on it. The pallu fell seamlessly over her shoulder, and she looked like a goddess and nonetheless in the neutral-toned outfit.

Let’s take a look at her outfit, shall we?

However, netizens might seem to think otherwise as they took the social media account to comment and call out the supermodel. The comments said that the dress was vulgar and nothing less could be expected from a model like her.

Take a look at some of the comments below.

Women Take Down?

From catcalling to using abusive language and asking whether she forgot to wear something, most comments tend to come from girls. Meanwhile, this makes us wonder, in a world where we talk about supporting other women, is it okay to sit behind the screen and take them down when no one is watching? Support doesn’t only have to be shown when the other person does things according to ‘Your’ values. This makes the process selfish rather than fulfilling.

While the festivities are over, so is the public criticism. However, it is not long until the couple posts another photo again, and netizens start a whirlwind of offensive and crude comments once again. And while there is nothing which can be done about that, we wish the couple a happy life ahead.

5 Snacks You Can Take On Your Travels to Avoid Haram Food

You love traveling. Don’t you? And that love takes you to the ends of the world. You start from, let’s say Pakistan, and reach South Americas. Now, there are places where you can get halal foods. But are you going to bet your need for food on the idea that you will find a halal shop? I, for one, will not be able to. Especially if I have ways, I can satisfy my hunger and avoid haram food.

Below are five snacks that you can take with you on your flight. You can easily take them in your luggage, and no one will bat an eye.

1. Dry Fruits

This one goes without saying. I mean, you can even buy them anywhere without worrying about the Halal Haram thing. But the best part about dry fruits is, if you like walking on your travels, you can keep munching on them. This way, you won’t get hungry at shorter durations and stop at every stop on the way.

2. Bakery Chips

C’mon! I get that they are fragile, and by the time you reach your destination, they may have turned to powder. But there are ways to get around that. You can put the packets in a box and put it in the luggage. I endorse them highly because they are just the right level of spicy. You have that reminder of home in case the available halal food is bland.

3. Noodles

Maggi is not available anymore, but there are many alternatives available now. Just put the noodles and tastemakers in a bowl and pour hot water over it. Your halal food is all ready for you to rock and roll. After a tiring day of exploring, come back to the hotel to some hot, spicy, and halal food.

4. Biscuits…

I mean, do I have to explain why I mention biscuits. They are a better alternative to chips as well. I mean, considering chips are fried in oil, they are more haram than haram foods. Therefore, keep half rolls or ticky packs with you. They are more fulfilling and at least healthier than chips. And if you don’t like sweet stuff, you can always choose non-sweet ones such as Zeera biscuits.

5. Khasta roti

Tell me; you know Khasta roti! Because if you don’t, my friends, your childhood was sad. Looking back at those nostalgic times, we can also choose to take khasta roti with us. Crush it entirely, and you can store it at room temperature for days. With a little bit of sugar, crushed khasta roti, and milk, there is no other perfect combination. So you can take that along too.

There are many more such snacks that you can take along. They will cost you less if you take them from the home country. You will also be saving money on the trip. And not to forget, no forceful fasting to avoid haram food.

5 Things You Need To Know About ‘COVID Nails’

5 Things You Need To Know About 'COVID Nails' — Image source: https://www.newsletter.co.uk/

Another symptom of COVID-19 is the COVID nails, aka Beau’s lines. Tim Spector, a principal investigator of the Zoe COVID Symptom Study app, recently tweeted about the phenomenon and included a photo of COVID nails. He wrote,

“Do your nails look odd? COVID nails are increasingly being recognized as the nails recover after infection. The growth recovers, leaving a clear line. This can occur without skin rashes and appears harmless.”

— Tim Spector (@timspector) May 3, 2021

Alongside covid nails, corona symptoms range from persistent cough to hair fall. However, a lot of people are noticing a change in their nail structure. Here is everything you need to know about the condition.

1. Appearance Of COVID Nails

The appearance can range from horizontal lines to ridges, grooves, or indentations. It can happen in both fingers and toes. People may also notice discoloration under their nails if they have previously had the virus. However, this won’t necessarily happen to everyone, and it’s more apparent in some people than others.

2. Side Effects Of COVID Nails

There are no particular side effects, and the condition is usually harmless. However, COVID-19 is not the only cause of this appearance. Many systemic illnesses and diseases can result in similar features in the nails.

3. What Does This Means?

The question is if this means whether you previously had an infection or not?

“It is noticeable that any systemic disease can disrupt nail growth which can be reflected in abnormalities in the appearance of nails.” Amesh A. Adalja, MD, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Maryland, stated.

“This can be seen with any critical illness.” The flu, an infection, and pretty much anything that causes a high fever can also cause these grooves. Even chemo can cause Beau’s lines. “Having it after chemotherapy is a classic case,” Dr says.

4. Treatment Options

Beau’s lines are not harmful themselves and usually grow out after several months. Hence no treatment is required to correct the appearance of the nails. Joshua Zeichner, MD, is the director of cosmetic and clinical research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. He stated,

“The good news is that even without treatment, it should correct itself. Once the nail change has happened, it is not permanent, so it is just a waiting game for the nail to grow out.”

5. Alternative to Antibody Test

Tim Spector is a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College. He said if this is a marker of COVID-19 infection, then it will help diagnose the virus.

“If we get enough numbers that are associated with asymptomatic COVID-19, that’s a cheap antibody test,” he said. “People just need to look down at their nails.”

7 Meaningful Things You Should Do With Your First Salary

Getting your first salary is a huge milestone many have already celebrated or are in the process of doing so. However, though we always anticipate this day, we often do not know what to do with the package when it arrives. If you’re confused about what to do with your first stack of joy, keep reading:

1. Take Your Parents Out

Your parents are the proudest when the day comes and they never accept the money from your first salary. Hence, what can you do to include them and share with them this milestone? Take them out for something! Be it for something sweet or a whole meal, we bet it’ll be one of the best memories you’ll make.

2. Treat Your Friends

This is one thing that’ll happen automatically. As soon as your friends hear of it they won’t let you rest until you do treat them. But what is the way to do it without going skint? Treat them according to your pay. You needn’t take them to a fine-dine with your first pay, just a magnum works too!

3. Save A Note

The first salary is memorable for a number of reasons and this milestone never comes again. Thus, it’s a nice thing to save a note from that salary for your life. A memory that you can always look at physically. Save any note from it and get it laminated/framed.

4. Save A Good %

Many of us have been naive and misinformed enough to spend all of the first salaries. However, let this be known that the way you spend your first salary builds your attitude with money for the rest of them. Don’t save all of it or so much that you feel tight. However, take out a bit and do save it.

5. Treat Yourself

There’s also no bigger pleasure than treating yourself with your own hard-earned money. Don’t go overboard because there will be more salaries to buy luxuries. However, do get something within your budget that makes you happy.

6. Help Someone

Your first salary should also prompt you to do something meaningful without wanting something in return. One thing you can do is to buy a meal for a poor kid or simply purchase something from the poor to help them.

7. Clear Your Dues

Lastly, start with a clean slate. If this was your first salary then it means prior to this you had no source of income. In that case, sometimes you can be in need of more money than you have. Hence, with your first salary clear your dues, if any!

Of all the automobile brands currently in Pakistan, KIA has been rising at an exponential rate. Its sale was elatively high in 2020 alone, and it’s about to release some newer cars too. When KIA released the latest Sportage, it came as a form of a revival. People began to dive into the world of KIA as more and more vehicles were sold. R

Recently, we came to know that KIA is about to release some more cars in Pakistan too. Some may be either Hybrid or Electric as well as SUVs. Is that not newsworthy of a listen and a read? One of the most defining things about KIA is that some of its cars are surprisingly affordable instead of other brand counterparts. Let us look at some.

KIA surprisingly affordable vehicles — Image Source: autodeals.pk

1. KIA Classic

This was the vehicle that, when KIA was mentioned, popped up in the head. Of course, it’s not as common to come by as it was back then, but a substantial amount of them are still up for sale. It’s a 1300cc 5-Speed vehicle which can be regarded as a right family car.

With front Disc Breaks and Rear Drum breaks, the vehicle does give a classic feel. It’s a manual transmission with a 37-liter tank. Currently, you can find this being sold at less than Rs.5 Lacs, even at 2.6 or 3 Lac.

2. KIA Spectra

This is a 4 door sedan with ample boot capacity. It has a 4 cylinder engine with an on-line configuration and a 1.5-liter capacity. With the specifications it has, it is definitely not a car to be trifled with. KIA hit relatively high when they released this year back in the first decade of the 21st century.

With a 5 person seating capacity and a 50L fuel tank, this car is one impressive sedan. It is surprisingly affordable with a price between Rs.3-6 Lac.

3. KIA Pride 1.1

At first glance, this may resemble ‘Mehran’ or ‘Khyber.’ It is definitely in the same league as these cars. The vehicle has a classic, compact feel to it with a 4-Speed Manual Transmission. Yes, don’t try to go up to that 5th gear! With a 1.1 Litre capacity behind the wheel, the possibilities of a smooth run are endless!

Even with a compact design, it can easily fit 5 people and withstand long road trips with good mileage. On Pakwheels, the current price of the vehicle is between Rs.2 – 4 Lac.

4. KIA Sportage

Now, this is a vehicle slightly apart from this list. It’s an SUV with an AWD configuration. What sets this vehicle apart from other brand SUVs is the price bracket. The fact that this vehicle offers premium features at such a price can be seen as unbelievable.

The KIA sportage 2020 model can be found on sale at a considerably less price than 40 or 50 lac. You can browse Pakwheels for a good, mildly driven model within Rs.30 Lac. If that is not a good buy, what is?

Justice For Talha

The suspect, Raza, is a friend of the deceased and one of his closest ones. It seems that Talha was going to tie the knot with a girl in the future years. However, Raza had given a proposal to the girl, who had rejected it. This is the prime motivation that led Raza to commit the unthinkable. It seems that Talha tying the knot with her, sometime in the future, is something that the fifteen-year-old could not fathom.

Thus, Raza tortured and killed Talha out of sheer revenge. Is this what we resort to on such an issue? Can we not use words to express ourselves and rather perform heinously sickening acts? This is not the mind of a person who sees other humans as humans. There is no court in the world or the world after, where such an act can ever be justified. One cannot fathom what goes on in an individual’s mind to cause such a disgusting act. This is not just a crime against the family, these are crimes against everything a person stands for!

Absolutely devastating !!!
Where are we heading towards?

The Guilty Must Be Brought, Forward

According to another source, Talha’s cousin said that the killer is not a 15-year-old, rather an 8-year-old. His father is a lawyer who is protecting his son after what has been done. Raza visited Talha and asked him to hang out, and the latter agreed to do so. The suspect then took the deceased friend to a vacant lot and proceeded to beat him up with a brick multiple times. The body has gone for an autopsy but the initial report also showed scars on the body. These marks pointed towards torture before the killing, which the suspect has also confessed to.

Everyone is looking to get justice for Talha, an individual struck down before the prime of his life. He had dreams, he had goals for his life. God knows how the parents of the deceased are doing. There are no words for the loss a parent feels after they lose their child. We only hope they find the strength to keep moving. We shall keep you updated on the details as the case evolves further.

Spread this and raise your voice for Hafiz Talha. #JusticeforTalha pic.twitter.com/Pqbf8rr5GA

7 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Buying A New Smartphone

phone buying and questions to ask — Image Source: digitaltrends.com

We have decided to compile some questions for you before you head out to buy a new smartphone. These are questions one must ask themselves before buying a phone. If they don’t think of, at least, some of these, there may be regrets later on. So, what are these mysterious questions? Is there something you would like to add to them? Read them and find out!

1. Budget For A Phone:

This is one of the most important aspects of buying a phone. If you are unsure of your budget, you might end up with a bad buy. Going for a less expensive one when you can afford a better one might not work out well. However, one must also not go overboard when buying a phone. Budget is quite essential and dictates what features your phone could have. Brands like Xiaomi and realme are best for budget whereas Apple, Oppo, and Samsung are for flagship!

2. PTA Approval:

Nowadays, a lot of new phones are coming to Pakistan. These phones are coming in from all domains and many brands. However, there are instances when a phone is not PTA approved. We would not recommend you to buy such a phone because it would be useless in terms of communication. Your SIM cannot work unless you get the phone approved, so why buy such one in the first place?

3. Re-Sale Value Of The Phone:

A time can come where you might get bored of your phone. However, if you bought a phone with no re-sale value, it won’t get you anything in the market. We urge you to make sure that whatever you buy, still has worth when you decide to sell it.

4. Will Old Accessories Work?

Now, here is another critical thing about buying new phones. One wants to make sure that accessories from the previous phone work too. If they don’t, then you would have to buy new ones all over again. It is like the time iPhone decided to remove the audio port.

5. Is Your Old Phone Functioning Well?

Sometimes, you may feel like you want to buy a new one, but you don’t have to. In such cases, we urge you to ask yourself whether you really need a new phone at the time or not. If you can defeat yourself in that debate, then you should definitely get a new phone. However, if the old one suits you still, keep using it!

6. What Operating System Is Your Preference?

If you are an avid user of android, you may not sit well with iOS. It doesn’t mean that iOS is a bad buy. It just means that you are not used to that form of operation. The same thing applies if you use iOS and watch to switch to android. If you don’t feel you can switch, we urge you to stick to the same OS.

7. Is The UI Friendly And Easy To Use?

This is something that matters quite a lot. People start to hate phones because their UI is not user-friendly. It takes quite a hassle to navigate through the phone and that just frustrates the user. Always test out the UI before you buy the phone to see if you like it.

5 Best Desi Breakfast Places In Karachi

Sep 25, 2021

There is no debating the fact that we Karachiites love our food. But what makes our love for food more passionate is that no matter how large and varied a spread we are offered, we always gravitate towards our desi food.

It’s greasy, it’s fattening, it’s probably unhygienic (what with the recent restaurant raids), but it’s the most lip-smackingly delicious food out there.

Waheed’s kebab, Zahid’s nihari, Fresco’s Dahi Baray – Karachi has a range of desi food to offer. But trumping these all are the places offering breakfasts and brunches to the foodie bunch of the metropolitan city.

Nothing says a pleasant Sunday morning like the sweet halwa, the hot, crunchy puris, and the spicy aloo bhujia with chickpeas!

Check out our picks for Top 5 Desi Breakfast Places in Karachi:

1. Dhamthal

Located near Aisha Manzil, F.B.Area, Dhamthal is not only known for its delicious signature breakfast dish halwa puri but also its biscuits, nimco, pastries, patties, and other fried items.

The long queues of people waiting to buy nashta, even afternoon, are testament enough for the delicious food on offer!

2. Tooso Nashta

One of the most popular breakfast places to date, Tooso Nashta continues to remain the go-to place for Karachiites for decades now.

Located at Bahadurabad, while Tooso’s signature dishes are halwa puri, aloo bhujia, and tea, the place also offers eggs and parathas for breakfast.

3. Dera

Located at Karachi’s “food street” Boat Basin, Dera serves, without a doubt, the best desi breakfast in the city.

While their halwa puri is a must-have, their signature chicken cheese paratha is worth a good mention too!

4. Baithak

Yet another one of Boat Basin’s highlights, Baithak, too, offers scrumptious desi nashta delights!

Nothing beats an early Sunday morning stroll on the beach, followed by a late open-air halwa puri breakfast at Baithak on charpayes with friends and families. If you are not up for halwa puri, their parathas, especially the cheese ones, are worth trying too!

5. Quetta Alamgir Hotel

Serving one of the best lachay daar parathas and doodh pati chai in Karachi, Quetta Alamgir Hotel is another one of our favorite desi breakfast places.

While the staple chai-paratha breakfast served at the dhaba is simply the best out there, we love their version of Pizza Paratha (omelette on paratha) too!

Have you tried any of these places? Let us know in the comments below.
