Sep 4, 2016

Tell us that your dating life is becoming predictable and we won’t be surprised! Especially if you are a Karachite, you probably will not be the only one who starts by making big plans for your date but end up having a latte at one of the cafes of Zamzama. Trust me, you both deserve something better than that!

There are many other places in Karachi which can spice up your date, without drilling a hole in your pockets. Here is the list of all those exotic places and some amazing ideas where you can make your date the most memorable one indeed. You definitely do not want to miss this!

1. How about Playing water sports together?

From snorkeling to cliff diving, a date out at Churna Island can give you some of the most unforgettable memories and lasting moments together!

2. Take her out for Bowling

The perfect date is always the craziest one! She does not always crave for an expensive dinner at a formal restaurant while a casual cup of coffee at a cafe is way too cliche, so here is an idea! Take her to Arena or Royal Rodale and dare to challenge her for a bowling game. Trust me, she’ll love that.

3. Horse ride for the Two

Horse riding at Equestrian Club or DreamWorld feels as romantic as it seems in on-screen love tales. So why not take your date there, let the crisp evening wind blow your hair and admire the beauty of the setting sun together for a change. Now this would make for a lasting memory, won’t it?

4. Flying with your better half

If your better half is a thrill seeker, your next date should definitely be Marina Club or EMAC, availing their amazing paragliding packages.

5. Farmhouse picnics always work; even for dates!

Being alone is crucial and spending some time away from everyone else helps nurture the relationship. Away from the city, this is a perfect option to have some good alone time with your better half.

6. Take a Dance Class together

If you don’t want to risk banging into some of your unsought relatives or not- so- friendly friends while dating at one of the malls or cafes; make your moments memorable by taking a dance class together at NAPA.

8. Devote your day to some Recreational activities together

A little expensive but most romantic! A day spent at DreamWorld would have so many options to make your date exciting and stimulating.

8. Have a Cruise Ride

Book a ride at Defence Authority Marina Club and don’t forget to take a picture in that Titanic pose for your future bedside wall! Now that would make for a really romantic memory.

9. Take a Painting Class Together

Seems a little filmy but it really works! Girls love colors and you might as well explore the artist within you by taking one of the painting classes together at Sadequain or MAD school.

10. Take her out for a Golf game

The greenery and calmness of the Arabian Sea Golf club make you enjoy every moment spent together. So take her there and have a romantic night out together!

So where are you thinking to take your date the next time? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to Brandsynario for more updates!

Instagram Top Picks: Food Videos We Can’t Stop Watching

Sep 4, 2016

Here’s a secret. The better part of my day is spent scrolling through 20-second food videos on Instagram. From dressing up glamorous looking cakes to the slowmo version of hot sauce being poured over chocolate discs, food videos are a delicious way to avoid all forms of human contact.

These videos can be very misleading too. They make cooking and baking appear so easy that you can’t wait to attempt something similar. This usually has disastrous results. Take note, we only recommend watching these food videos. Try making them at your own risk. Here are some of the most tempting ones.

Incredible Cakes

This lady Yolanda Gampp is nothing short of a celebrity baker. Her fabulous cakes have made her very popular on Instagram. Her videos show her making some very elaborate cakes in minutes – once again misleading common people. No, we ‘unchosen’ ones cannot do this.

Today is the first day of #SharkWeek!! 😱 How does my Shark Cake stack up? 💦 #HowToCakeIt #Cakestagram #Dessert #Baking #Cake #Instacake #Instasweet #Shark #SharkCake #Sharks #Jaws #TheShallows #🍰 #🎂 #💦

This Russian lady is famous on Instagram for her beautifully decorated cakes. The sheer shine is such that you can see your own reflection in them.

Cake and Cupcake art

On some days, I deserve a medal for getting out of bed and successfully dressing myself. Then there are people who manage to create masterpieces with a little frosting and dress up tiny cupcakes. Well done people.

Top Pakistani Celebrities & their Funny Blooper Videos

By

Maria Shafiq

Sep 4, 2016

It’s easy to get starstruck or get indulged in a brilliantly acted moment in a drama or film. However, what we sometimes fail to realize is that celebrities are pretty much human too and make lots of mistakes just like us. Even though they may see perfect all the time, they weren’t born this way.

Superstars goof up, do multiple retakes and are as klutzy as any of us. They’re not as picture perfect as we might think every second of the day.

Let’s have some fun recalling this collection of funny blooper videos our famous Pakistani celebrities!

1. Fawad Khan

The king of ladies’ hearts, Fawad Khan has his fair share of fumbles with dialogues and behind-the-scenes non-pretentious conversations. Check these out for yourself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH8FvldPUdU

2. Meera

While Meera lacks in acting skills and English language proficiency, she makes up for it in her risque moves to remain the highlight of headlines. We all remember her popular attempt at hosting a talk-show in English.

And now let’s see what went on in the actual (painful) interview!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP0o789oAUQ

Apparently for Meera, ‘Neo’ is ‘New’ tv.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k0EtmnWkIo

3. Sohai Ali Abro

Sohai is a little dynamite and packs quite a punch with her performances. See how she fumbled while giving a shout-out on the red carpet of Hum TV Awards!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FINcJ7OzqaI

4. Urwa Hocane

During a performance in Lux Style Awards 2015, Urwa slipped and had quite a fall but tried to recover gracefully at the same time. It’s okay Urwa!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYNb3UMXHo

5. Ayesha Sana

Nobody can forget the “bright karen isse” drama and the social media memes that followed Ayesha Sana’s behind-the-scene outburst in her morning show. It wasn’t a one-time thing, apparently, she is quite a tantrum queen on the sets!

ICI Dulux Pakistan Innovative Visualizer App Packed with New Features

By

Web Desk

Sep 2, 2016

ICI Dulux recently launched the new version of its Visualizer app for iOS and Android, called ‘Dulux Visualizer PK’. The app uses innovative technology to help consumers visualize, share and paint their rooms in their chosen colours in real time.

This is to help them have a better idea of what the Dulux colors will look like if the color is actually applied on the walls. Consumers can capture a video of their walls and experiment with hundreds of different colours. If they see a colour somewhere that inspires them, they can use the ingenious Colour Picker technology to instantly match and try it out.

Once they have found the colour they love consumers can buy their paint or find a store via the store locator function. Finally, they can share it with friends and family on social media to get a second opinion, directly through the Visualizer.

“Colour is the number one decision factor when consumers choose to paint,” said Usman Hafaz, Marketing Manager at AkzoNobel Pakistan Decorative Paints Division. “Selecting the right colour can be an exciting yet overwhelming challenge. The new features in the Visualizer now make this a fun, easy way to find the essential colour to make their living space more inspiring, and make the process more social at the same time.”

“We are constantly looking out to understand our consumer behavior and any emerging trends, innovations and technologies to help us stay ahead of the curve,” explained Usman Hafaz. “This helps us deliver products and colours that people want. The Visualizer is a tool designed to give consumers confidence to try new colours, quickly see the potential end result of their purchase, and share with friends to get their views.”

Some of the scenes and even posters are a throwback to several of his films!

With some of the top actors of Bollywood Aishwarya Rai, Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma set to star in the upcoming film, never has excitement been more on the rise before.

However, a teaser released by Karan Johar for his new film has got everyone thinking that maybe Bollywood had just had enough of ripping its more famous counterparts film and has decided to look in its own backyard for some “good old” stuff.

Here is a look at some of the uncanny resemblances between Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and other popular Karan Johar flicks.

1. Fight! Fight! Fight!

An Indian movie without a fight scene? Unacceptable. In Student of the Year we saw Varun and Sidharth fighting over Alia Bhatt and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil gave us another similar shot.

Fawad fights Ranbir in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil- over Anushka I assume? SO cliched.

2. The famous turnaround

Rani Mukherjee did the famous back turn in the movie Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna & Ae Dil Hai Mushkil uses the Miss World 1994 to reenact the famous turnaround.

Have a look!

Both the ladies stun in red and look uncannily similar.

3. The drag to the altar

Apart from the above-mentioned similarities, a scene in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil when Anushka drags Ranbir is very very similar to when Salman drags Kajol in the climax of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

While it is the other way round in ADHM, this scene is uncannily familiar. Check it out below!

4. The heart-wrenching walk away

A Karan Johar movie with no heartbreaks? Nahhhhhhh.

Ranbir Kapoor once again walks away in tears in the trailer of his new film just as he did three years ago in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani .

Who do you think left him this time? Or did he leave Anushka just like he left Deepika in YJHD? Well we would have to wait to find out.

5. The blanket Snuggle

While we totally swooned over the adorable duo Deepika and Ranbir snuggling away in the snow in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Anushka and Ranbir gave us relationship goals in this scene from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Check them out below:

6. The running away scene

I know we all are a fan of King Khan’s many runny away scenes, but this particular one in Kal Ho Na Ho, remains everyone’s favorite till yet.

Lucky for us, seems like Ranbir Kapoor re-enacted the entire scene in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

7. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil vs Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Poster

This poster picture of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil featuring Ranbir and Anusha looks freakishly similar to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’s poster, featuring Deepika and Ranbir. We expected more originality, Karan!

Check out the entire trailer below!

Bonus

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil vs Veer Zaara Poster

Possibly one of the most important parts of attracting the crowd to a new movie is an astounding theatrical poster. Even though not a Karan Johar flick, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil poster looks straight off a cover of Yash Chopra’s Veer Zara.

Can you think of any other scenes from the movie that look familiar to you? Let us know in the comments below.

Ufone’s new campaign presented a tribute to some of the unsung heroes of Pakistan. Known for their humorous commercials, the brand is known to delight their customers, however, this time, the company decided to do something different.

The brand hosted a Blogger’s Meetup event in which they introduced an unsung panel of 4, consisting of Shamim Akhtar, Mohsin Ali, Saqib Ali Kazmi, and Sabia Abbat. The purpose of the campaign is to portray them as models and to show their contributions to the society, to trigger inspiration.

Shamim Akhtar

Shamim Akhtar ar, 53, is Pakistan’s first female truck driver. Akhtar broke stereotypes when the mother decided that something was needed to be done to cover the costs of 3 daughters wedding, and to support 2 children at home. She started to take driving classes for heavy-duty vehicles.

After her training was completed, she was issued a public service vehicle license by Islamabad Traffic Police Training Course. The Rawalpindi-based driver then hopped in and embarked on a journey that changed the course of history for women in Pakistan. Before she became a truck driver, she sold insurance policies and took up sewing. Akhtar enrolled in school to complete Matric and now earns enough to make ends meet.

Muhammad Mohsin Ali

Mohsin Ali, 25, was the highest achiever in BA/BSC examinations 2012 Punjab University. Out of 800 marks, he secured a score of 688, despite all the hardships he faced. His score broke all previous records, which encouraged Cheif Minister of Punjab to announce that the government will bear all expenses for his education.

Mohsin wishes to pursue MA in English, followed by CSS examinations. The young man belongs from Hafizabad, his brother runs a tandoor shop. He appeared as a private candidate because at the time he was unable to pay for his fees, to support himself and his family, he began working, hardly getting 4 hours of sleep. According to him, everyone should attempt to make impossible possible.

Jahangir Khan, Shehzad Roy, Jibran Nasir, and Saba Gul Pay Tribute to Their Heroes for Independence Day

Saqib Ali Kazmi

Saqib Kazmi is a young social worker and an entrepreneur based in Karachi. Kazmi works in different sectors from health to education and contributing towards the unprivileged in anyway possible. His project, ‘Mera Karachi Meri Zimmedari’ encouraged the youth to take things into their own hands, by playing a responsible role in society, rather than being dependent on politicians.

Kazmi, along with a few friends, hand-installed 320 hand pumps to solve an issue with water supply in different areas of Interior Sindh. In Gharo, he set up an educational venture to provide free books, uniforms, linguistics, and most importantly, free education and training to children.

Sabia Abbat

Hailing from Haripur, Sabia Abbat, became the first woman from Hazara District to be awarded a trophy for winning the National Cycling Championship in 2013. Being a die-hard sports enthusiast from childhood, Sabia decided to break all norms and continue to live her dream of becoming a professional cyclist.

She represented Pakistan in various competitions, receiving major support from her friends and family, which gave her all the courage she needed to move forward with her passion. Sabia is also a bachelor’s degree holder in physical education and trained army athlete.

As Ufone quotes, “It’s all about U”. Kudos to the shining stars of Pakistan who have done much for this country without asking for anything in return, we are proud of you.

Sep 1, 2016

Known for his dazzling looks and controversial social media updates, Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has never feared to speak his mind and therefore has always managed to stay in the spotlight.

Here are 5 times Hamza Ali Abbasi was totally bold and fearless making him land into legal trouble, and become the center of controversies.

1. Served Legal Notice by PML-N for Spreading False Rumours about Punjab Kidnapping

The daring actor has come under fire once again as the Punjab government served him a legal notice for spreading “false rumors”. In a post, updated on Facebook late last night, the actor revealed that he had been served a notice for spreading rumors about the recent wave of child kidnappings taking place in the province of Punjab.

In his facebook post on August 3rd Hamza wrote that more than 900 children are kidnapped from Punjab with 400 from Lahore alone.

Read his recent social media post below:

According to the notice, the number of missing children quoted by Hamza is incorrect and is “less than one third that you (Hamza) reported”.

The notice further added that Hamza’s post, “was exaggerated and it created a sense of insecurity in the general public”. This was not the first time the actor has come into the limelight for his social media updates.

Read what the Mann Mayal actor wrote on August 12th, SAMAA TV reports:

“Blasts spilling innocent blood, Children being kidnapped for their organs, new born babies being kidnapped and replaced by dead babies, working women being randomly stabbed and the assailant said the motive was “for fun”, the dark times getting darker for my beloved Pakistan as the politicians continue to fill their bank accounts.”

Whether it’s about taking a stand for the Ahmadis or speaking against item songs in Pakistani movies, Hamza has never feared speaking up against any topic deemed controversial by the society.

Twitterati seemed to stand by Hamza’s side and totally supported him:
