Pakistan all-rounder Aamir Jamal took a subtle dig at captain Babar Azam with a cryptic message on social media after being left out of the T20I squad for the upcoming series against Ireland and England.

In a post on Instagram, Jamal showcased his batting skills in the ongoing English County Championship, representing Warwickshire, where he notched up an impressive 40 runs in his first innings.

Alongside the video, he posted a caption shrouded in ambiguity: “Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many,” accompanied by a finger-on-mouth emoji.

This enigmatic post comes after Jamal’s exclusion from the Pakistan squad for the home series against New Zealand and the subsequent tours of Ireland and England leading up to the T20 World Cup 2024.

Despite being part of the squad during the New Zealand tour in January, Jamal’s recent performances were not enough to secure a spot in the T20I setup.

Addressing Jamal’s absence, Pakistan captain Babar Azam emphasized the distinction between Test and T20 cricket during a press briefing before the team’s departure to Ireland.

While acknowledging Jamal’s prowess in Test matches, Babar highlighted the need for Jamal to gain more experience and match exposure to refine his skills for the fast-paced T20 format.

“Aamir Jamal performed admirably in Test cricket, but Test performance cannot be directly compared to T20s,” Babar stated. “In T20 cricket, we require a genuine hitter in the position where Jamal bats. He needs more time and matches to further polish his game for the T20 format.”

Jamal’s cryptic message on social media has sparked speculation among fans and pundits alike, with many interpreting it as a subtle response to his exclusion from the T20I squad.

Sisters’ Kissing Scene From 1959 Pakistani Film ‘Neend’ Sparks Debate

1959 Film 'Neend' Revives Noor Jehan and Neelo Begum's 'Kissing Scene'

A vintage video clip of the legendary Noor Jehan has taken the internet by storm. The iconic actress is seen sharing a kiss with another woman, Neelo, in a scene from the 1959 film “Neend”. This classic Lollywood movie, directed by Hassan Tariq, has once again proven why it remains a masterpiece, unafraid to tackle taboo subjects in its storytelling.

“Neend” marks a significant milestone in Pakistani cinema, being Hassan Tariq’s directorial debut. The film’s bold narrative features an anti-hero, a rarity in films of that era. The cast includes Diljit, Asad Jaafri, Nur Jehan, Neelo, and Aslam Pervaiz. The movie’s soundtrack boasts the iconic song “Akeli Kahin Mat Jana Zamana Nazuk Hai”, which still resonates with audiences today.

Social media users have been buzzing with excitement, praising the film’s daring approach to storytelling and the legendary actresses’ powerful performances. The clip serves as a reminder of Lollywood’s golden era, when films fearlessly explored complex themes and social issues. This scene has sparked discussions and garnered widespread attention online.

Interestingly, Noor Jehan and Neelo Begum portray the roles of siblings in this film, and the kiss between them is interpreted as a friendly rather than a romantic one.

Noor Jehan, known as the “Mallika-e-Tarannum” (Queen of Melody), was a trailblazer in Pakistani cinema, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. Her on-screen chemistry with Neelo in “Neend” is a testament to their talent and bravery.

The resurgence of interest in vintage Lollywood films like “Neend” highlights the enduring appeal of classic Pakistani cinema. These films continue to inspire new generations of filmmakers, actors, and audiences alike, reminding us of the power of storytelling and the importance of exploring complex themes and social issues.

Netizens Furious Over Dr. Nabiha’s Marriage Advice For Married Women

Netizens Furious Over Dr. Nabiha's Marriage Advice For Married Women

Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan’s podcast offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors driving extra marital affairs. By acknowledging and addressing these underlying reasons, individuals can work towards building more fulfilling relationships and fostering a deeper connection with their partners. Remember, relationships require effort and dedication from both parties to thrive.

She  delves into the complex reasons behind this phenomenon, offering valuable insights and expertise as a relationship coach and therapist.

Reasons for Extra Marital Affairs

1. Unmet Emotional Needs

Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan emphasizes that unfulfilled emotional needs are a primary driver of extra marital affairs. When individuals feel neglected, unheard, or unsupported in their marriages, they may seek comfort and validation elsewhere. This emotional void can lead to a deep sense of disconnection, making the temptation of an external connection more appealing.

2. Lack of Communication and Intimacy

Poor communication and dwindling intimacy are significant contributors to extra marital affairs. When couples fail to nurture their relationship, emotional and physical disconnection can occur, creating an environment conducive to infidelity.

3. Unresolved Childhood Issues

Unaddressed childhood traumas, insecurities, and attachment issues can manifest in adulthood, influencing an individual’s relationship choices. Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan highlights the importance of recognizing and working through these underlying issues to break patterns of unhealthy relationships.

4. Societal Pressures and Expectations

Societal expectations and pressures can play a significant role in extra marital affairs. The pursuit of status, wealth, and power can lead individuals to prioritize external validation over their marital relationships.

5. Personal Growth and Identity Crisis

Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan notes that personal growth and identity crises can also contribute to extra marital affairs. As individuals evolve and rediscover themselves, they may feel disconnected from their partners, leading them to seek new connections that align with their changing identities.

Android users held the upper hand when it came to screen sharing. Their ability to seamlessly combine visuals and audio during video calls gave them an edge.

IMF Targets Higher Taxes On Salaried Individuals

Source: Aaj News

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has directed Pakistan to revamp its taxation system, targeting both salaried and business individuals. Under the proposed changes, a single income threshold would be established, with the highest taxable income limit for salaried workers set to decrease. This adjustment would entail implementing a 35% income tax rate on monthly earnings exceeding Rs333,000.

Balancing Taxation and Financial Strain

Currently, the tax landscape distinguishes between salaried and business individuals, with the latter facing the 35% rate at a monthly income of Rs333,000. However, salaried workers are subjected to this rate only when their monthly income surpasses Rs500,000. The IMF’s recommendation aims to standardize taxation, aligning the thresholds for both groups.

Furthermore, the IMF advocates maintaining the existing income-tax exemption threshold at Rs50,000 per month, providing further relaxation. While this move intends to safeguard tax revenues, it poses challenges for lower middle-income brackets, whose purchasing power has been eroded by persistent inflation.

Streamlining Taxation Policies

In its blueprint for the 2025 budget, the IMF calls for the elimination of all income tax credits and allowances, including those earmarked for teachers and researchers. Notably, deductions related to education expenses and workers’ welfare would be phased out, signaling a departure from previous fiscal policies.

These directives form part of the IMF’s strategy to generate approximately Rs650 billion in additional revenue from salaried and business individuals. However, such measures could exacerbate financial strain on fixed-income earners, prompting concerns among stakeholders.

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has disclosed impending negotiations with the IMF, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach. While cooperation is essential, conceding to all IMF demands may amplify socio-economic challenges, particularly with the ongoing governmental initiatives.

Challenges and Considerations

The IMF’s proposal also includes streamlining tax rates by consolidating salaried and non-salaried classifications and reducing the number of tax slabs. Currently, salaried individuals face a progressive tax structure, with rates ranging from 2.5% to 35%, based on income brackets.

However, implementing these changes requires careful consideration of their ramifications. Altering tax thresholds and rates could disproportionately impact middle and upper-middle-income groups, necessitating a nuanced approach to taxation reform.

Moreover, the IMF urges a review of existing income tax exemptions, advocating for their elimination to enhance revenue streams. Additionally, proposals to refund advance income tax levied on telecommunications users underscore the IMF’s broader agenda to optimize tax collection mechanisms.

Ultimately, while the IMF’s recommendations aim to fortify Pakistan’s fiscal framework, their implementation necessitates a delicate balance between revenue generation and socioeconomic equity. As negotiations unfold, policymakers must navigate these complexities to ensure a fair and sustainable taxation regime.

Here’s Why Netizens Are Lashing Out At Yashma Gill

Yashma Gill Faces Backlash for Wearing Crop Top

Yashma Gill recently found herself at the receiving end of criticism and backlash on social media for wearing a crop top. The young star, known for her roles in popular dramas like “Azmaish” and “Ishq Munafiq”, was trolled and body-shamed by many for her choice of clothing.

The incident highlights the double standards and hypocrisy that exists on social media, where women are often judged and policed for their choices, while men are rarely held to the same standards. Yashma Gill’s crop top was deemed “inappropriate”  by many, who felt it necessary to express their disapproval and outrage.

However, it’s important to note that Yashma Gill has the right to make her own choices about what she wears. Her clothing choice is a personal preference and does not harm anyone else.

Moreover, it’s ironic that many of the same people who criticize Yashma Gill for her crop top are the same ones who praise and objectify women for their physical appearance in other contexts. This hypocrisy and double standard are damaging and need to be called out.

Yashma Gill has not commented on the backlash, but her fans and supporters have come out in her defense, praising her confidence and self-expression. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting women’s autonomy and choices, and the need to challenge harmful societal norms and double standards.

Hareem Shah Breaks Silence On New Leaked Video

Hareem Shah

Rising TikTok star, Hareem Shah is more than often caught in some type of drama. 33 years of age, this influencer resides in Peshawar. Hareem, at the moment, has 6.3 Million followers on TikTok

Just recently, some private and confidential videos of hers have surfaced the internet. The clips show Hareem leaving a hotel, late in the night, with a foreign man, who is so far unrecognized. She has once again found herself in the limelight as private videos of her are causing quite a commotion. In the videos, TikToker’s videos are sparking curiosity and speculation among her followers.

Hareem Shah Responds

Taking to Instagram, Hareem Shah addressed the situation in a candid video, condemning the act as a desperate attempt to gain attention and ratings. Instead, she requested her audience to direct their focus toward more pressing matters, such as the ongoing situation in Palestine. Which are concerning, and not just some gossip.

This isn’t the first time Shah has found herself in scandal, as she has faced backlash in the past for leaked nude clips. The recent circulation of her videos on social media platforms has led to some individuals even requesting the clips privately. Unfortunately, people are trying to sell them as well.

It’s worth noting that last year, Hareem Shah made similar sorts of headlines when footage of her wearing a black top inside a bathroom surfaced on Twitter. The resurfacing of all previous controversies with the current one is further fueling speculation and gossip surrounding her personal life.

While controversies may come and go, it’s essential to remember that everyone deserves privacy and respect, regardless of their public persona. Or their past. We should be encouraged to shift our focus towards issues that truly matter. And create a more compassionate and understanding online community, where even celebrities have room to be human and make errors.

Karachi To Host Fewer Matches In PSL 10 Due to Turnout Concerns

psl-10-clash-with-ipl-opposed-by-franchises-pcb-announces-local-player-category-renewals-for-psl-10-schedule

Karachi, renowned as the vibrant “city of lights,” is poised to play a diminished role in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 next year, as reports suggest a redistribution of matches among various venues.

In a notable departure from the recent PSL 9, Lahore and Rawalpindi are slated to host a greater number of matches compared to Karachi, with the latter allocated a mere five matches in the draft schedule for PSL 2025.

Lahore is set to host a maximum of 10 matches, followed by Rawalpindi with eight, and Multan also receiving five matches during the event.

karachi-to-host-fewer-matches-in-psl-10

The decision to allocate fewer matches to Karachi stems from concerns over the low turnout witnessed during PSL 9. Despite hosting 11 matches, including high-stakes encounters like the Qualifier, Eliminators, and the final, Karachi’s National Bank Stadium grappled with disappointing attendance figures throughout the season.

While the playoffs and final saw improved crowd numbers, the overall response fell short of expectations, prompting criticism.

Notably, the playoffs for PSL 10 are slated to be held at a neutral venue, with England emerging as a probable destination. This strategic move aims to inject fresh energy into the league and enhance its global appeal.

According to the draft schedule, the opening match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars is set to kick off proceedings in Rawalpindi on Saturday, April 12.

The action continues the following day with clashes between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators in Rawalpindi, alongside a fixture between Kings and Multan Sultans in Karachi.

As anticipation mounts for PSL 10, the PSL Governing Council is scheduled to convene towards the end of May 2024. During this crucial meeting, key decisions regarding the tournament’s schedule and playing conditions will be finalized.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has previously announced that the event window for PSL 10 will span from April 7 to May 20, due to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clashing with PSL’s traditional window.
