Saba Faisal’s Views on Sons Bringing ‘Security’ Spark Controversy

Saba Faisal

In recent news, Saba Faisal is currently being called out for her ignorant and misogynistic statement regarding sons. After the actress Saba mentioned that only sons bring you a sense of security, regardless of their presence, women in the industry have spoken against it. Starting with Hira Khan, a fellow actress, who was quick to share her disapproval on social media. 

Saba Faisal recently shared her sister’s narrative. Her younger sister had always enjoyed not having a son, given the difficulty of raising boys. Later, her husband passed away, and her daughters moved abroad for education. Having an empty nest, Saba’s sister struggled and at one point called Saba crying and shared how she felt alone and unprotected.

Given this, Saba said, “She was all alone, why? Because only sons bring you a sense of protection even when they are not physically there”.

Drama and Backlash Faced By Saba Faisal

Hira Khan was quick to condemn her statement. She took it to Instagram and stated, ” Stunned by the audacity and stupidity.”

Sadia Faisal, Saba’s daughter, jumped to her mother’s defense. She reshared what Hira Khan had to say, and added, “Everyone has a right to speak whatever he/she wants! And I’m stunned by your words! Have some respect for senior artists in your own industry. Thank you.”

Consequently, things quickly escalated and Hira Khan clapped back. She brought forward a prominent issue. “In a country where newborn babies are killed just because they aren’t boys, where women are already considered a burden, it’s not okay for someone as big as Saba Ji to come and say things like these,” she maintained. She then also added that her opinions come from a place of respect.

To clear the air, Sadia added, “You’re taking it out of context. What she meant had nothing to do with whatever you said! Peace please.”

To conclude the online feud, Saba herself weighed into this and said to Hira, “It takes a lifetime experience to understand this.”

Haval Pakistan – From Strength To Strength!

Ever since the collaboration of SAZGAR Engineering Works Limited (SEWL) with Great Wall Motor (GWM), we have seen resounding instances of success and value addition to the automotive market of Pakistan since 2022.

It started with the launch of the Haval H6, a futuristic and feature-rich SUV that added a different dimension to the category in Pakistan. Then came the ever so popular and the most sought after SUV in the market till date, the Haval H6 HEV. Last year, SAZGAR and GWM launched the Haval Jolion, a crossover SUV that has a comparatively smaller chassis than the H6 but more or less the same functionality and features. Very recently, they have now launched the highly anticipated Haval Jolion HEV, a vehicle that has seen success all over the world, notably in markets like Australia and South Africa.

Not only this, SAZGAR has also introduced two CBU vehicles to Pakistan as well, namely Ora 03 (a 100% electric hatchback), and GWM Tank 500 (a 2 liter hybrid SUV). As a result, SAZGAR has become the biggest NEV player in the country, and one can safely call the company a pioneer in new energy vehicle segment.

The Jolion HEV is priced at PKR 9,295,000/-, with a booking amount of PKR 1,800,000/- and the stated delivery time is 2-3 months. The vehicle comes with a 1.5L 4G15H hybrid engine that produces unbelievable power, namely 190HP and 375Nm of torque. With 7-speed DHT transmission, an array of futuristic driving features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, L2 Autonomous Driving, Head-Up Display, Ventilated Seats, and more, the vehicle promises to pack a punch and deliver serious value for money.

The vehicle was formally unveiled at a launch ceremony held at the SAZGAR car plant, in Lahore. The attendees consisted of the senior management, representatives of the GWM team from China, officers, managers, and factory workers. The reveal sequence was magnificent and remarkable, coupled with recognition and praise to those who deserve it most. From senior management personnel, to officers, to workers, everyone was presented with awards as a token of gratitude and motivation for the entire team.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has rebuffed any notion of disunity within the team, asserting that they consistently operate as a cohesive unit.

Addressing the media ahead of the crucial encounter against New Zealand in Lahore, Babar emphasized the team’s strong bond, highlighting how setbacks only serve to strengthen their resolve.

“Our bonding is solid. Yes, when we lose, we discuss the merits and demerits and it further strengthens our bonding as a team,” Babar Azam remarked during the press conference.

Looking ahead to the ongoing series against New Zealand, Babar shed light on Pakistan’s strategic approach, emphasizing the importance of experimentation in shaping a formidable squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

“Our primary objective in this series is to explore different combinations and provide ample opportunities to players,” Babar explained.

“And if we switch over any player to a different spot, we will do it by discussing with him. Everything is happening through proper understanding and communication. Every player is being taken into confidence and our motive is to raise the country’s performance graph.”

In the face of criticism and scrutiny, Babar remained resolute in his commitment to prioritizing the team’s interests above all else. “Criticism doesn’t deter our focus. Our decisions are guided by what benefits the team,” he affirmed.

Responding to inquiries about the impact of rigorous Kakul training camp on players’ decreasing fitness levels, Babar underscored the importance of maintaining peak physical condition amidst the demands of international cricket.

“Injuries are part of the game but we try to look after every player. A camp always helps you with fitness and mental health. It never happened to me or any other that we did not focus on fitness.

“We are trying to give opportunities to the available 15 to 16 players so that they could prove themselves in different conditions and get ready for the task.”

With the series finely poised, Pakistan’s unwavering unity and strategic approach bode well for their quest to clinch victory against New Zealand in the upcoming encounter.

As Babar and his men gear up for the challenge, they remain steadfast in their pursuit of excellence on the cricketing stage.

Is Sapphire Facing Criticism Over Its Recent Sale?

Sapphire

The number one selling brand, Sapphire, is currently being accused of lying to its customers. The store announced on Facebook, a sale with up to 50 % off, which will soon end. The post dated 28th April and also shared the precise time of 04:00 pm for when the sale would hit their website.

Sapphire’s sales have a history of utmost anticipation. From endless queues to overcrowded stores that mostly end in some sort of snatching, from women fighting over the last piece of their favorite article to the sales staff’s exhaustion and confusion, no one does it like Sapphire.

It seems they’ve outdone themselves this time around. Because shortly after they declared HALF OFF, the website just didn’t work. You must be thinking why? Well as of now many support the theory that this was an elaborate scheme pulled off by the brand.

Customers’ Response to the Sapphire ‘Scam’

Consequently, and very obviously enough, everyone is upset. Most shared that the website’s cart wasn’t working. Everything they selected seemed to just not go into the cart, causing most of their selected items to just sell out. No matter how many times customers reloaded the website, or switched devices, the matter remained. Moreover, it was the same case for everyone. Making it look like an innate issue with the website itself. Beyond that, the prices didn’t drop much, let alone 50%. Causing us to wonder, was there truly a sale to begin with?

As a response, unfortunately, the brand hasn’t done much. The most we saw were apologetic replies to the comments, suggesting the issue is now fixed and there are plenty of articles left for customers to buy.

Have you ever experienced this by brands? Let us know in the comments below.

Pak Suzuki’s Voluntary Delisting Approved By PSX

Pak Suzuki Motor Company, a prominent name in Pakistan’s automotive industry, has recently made a pivotal decision that has sparked discussions within the business community. The company’s board of directors has greenlit the voluntary delisting of Pak Suzuki from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). This move, fueled by persistent losses and the absence of dividend payouts to shareholders, signals a strategic shift in the company’s trajectory.

Into Pak Suzuki’s Performance

The announcement, made public via a notification to the PSX, underscores the company’s intent to repurchase shares from the general public. This endeavor, to determine the share price for buyback, is planned to be conducted in consultation with regulatory bodies like the SECP and the PSX. The decision resonates with Pak Suzuki’s commitment to navigate its financial challenges proactively.

While the third quarter of 2023 showcased a notable net profit of Rs3.80 billion, a marked improvement from the preceding year’s loss, the broader financial picture reveals a more nuanced narrative. Despite the turnaround attributed to factors such as increased car prices and heightened sales volumes, Pak Suzuki reported a substantial net loss of Rs5.87 billion for the first nine months of 2023. This figure, more than double the previous year’s loss, underscores the persistent challenges facing the company.

Suzuki’s Vision for Pakistan

The rationale behind the delisting decision lies in the company’s quest for operational sustainability and shareholder value enhancement. With dividends remaining elusive for shareholders since 2019, except for a solitary payout in 2021, coupled with a languishing share price, Pak Suzuki’s board sees delisting as a strategic imperative. The move aligns with the majority shareholder’s vision to consolidate ownership and steer the company towards a more stable financial trajectory.

Despite the delisting decision, Pak Suzuki reaffirms its long-term commitment to the Pakistani market. Suzuki Motor Corporation, the majority shareholder, remains bullish on Pakistan’s future potential, underscoring its strategic importance within Suzuki’s global footprint.

Future Trajectory

Analysts, while acknowledging the positive upturn in Pak Suzuki’s third-quarter performance, emphasize the need for sustained efforts to bolster operational efficiencies. Sunny Kumar, a Topline Research analyst, highlights the significance of higher-than-anticipated gross margins in driving the positive momentum. These insights underscore the intricate balance between operational optimization and strategic decision-making within Pak Suzuki’s corporate framework.

As Pak Suzuki embarks on this transformative journey, navigating the intricacies of delisting and shareholder engagement, the broader automotive landscape awaits with anticipation. The company’s strategic pivot underscores the imperative of adaptability and foresight in navigating volatile market dynamics, setting a precedent for corporate resilience during adversity.

If You Love Junk Food, There Maybe Bad News For You

Source: Medical Survey

In the subject of health consciousness, the cons of junk food consumption have long been documented. From cardiovascular risks to obesity, the detrimental effects on the body are well-established. However, emerging research now sheds light on a concerning aspect: the impact of high-fat, sugary diets on brain health, particularly memory function.

A recent study, spearheaded by neuroscientist Scott Kanoski and his team at the University of Southern California, dived into the lasting repercussions of junk food consumption on memory in rats. Feeding these rodents a diet rich in simple sugars and saturated fats from a young age, like human adolescence. The researchers uncovered enduring memory impairments that persisted into adulthood.

Disrupted Neurotransmitters

Central to this phenomenon is the disruption of acetylcholine, a critical neurotransmitter implicated in memory and learning processes. The consumption of unhealthy, processed foods appears to hinder acetylcholine function, leading to enduring memory deficits akin to those observed in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

While the study’s findings are derived from animal models, parallels to human health are striking. Research linking Western-style diets to Alzheimer’s risk underscores the relevance of these findings to human populations. Moreover, the study highlights the potential long-term consequences of early-life dietary habits on cognitive function in adulthood.

Dietary Awareness

As the evidence mounts, a call for dietary awareness becomes ever more urgent. The prevalence of Western diets laden with sugary, fatty foods poses a significant threat to brain health, with implications extending beyond physical well-being. By understanding the intricate interplay between diet and brain function, individuals can make informed choices to safeguard cognitive vitality.

Future Directions

While the study offers crucial insights, unresolved questions linger. Variances in timing and gender underscore the complexities of dietary influence on brain function. Further research is found to exclude these nuances.

In navigating the junk food dilemma, the study serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of dietary choices on brain health. As we reveal the mechanisms underlying these effects, fostering a culture of dietary consciousness becomes paramount. Ultimately, it’s not just our bodies at stake, but the very essence of our cognitive vitality.

What To Expect From Imad Wasim’s Likely Comeback In Fourth New Zealand T20I?

imad-wasim-likely-comeback-in-fourth-new-zealand-t20i-babar-azam

Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim is likely to make his anticipated return to international cricket in the fourth T20I against New Zealand today.

Last year, Wasim announced his retirement from international cricket, but his subsequent reversal, along with Mohammad Amir, has injected fresh vigour into Pakistan’s lineup ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Wasim, alongside Fakhar Zaman, is set to make his first appearance in the series, bolstering Pakistan’s batting and bowling arsenals after being sidelined for the initial three T20Is.

Pakistan team management faced massive criticism for resting Imad Wasim in the earlier games. Fans and former cricketers believe that Amir and Wasim should get maximum matches before the T20 World Cup after coming out of retirement.

However, all-rounder Shadab Khan defended the decision and hinted at Wasim’s potential inclusion in the last two games against New Zealand in a press conference after the third game.

“It was part of the rotation policy. Management had already talked to all the players. So according to the rotation policy, Imad Wasim might get a game now,” Shadab Khan said.

Imad Wasim’s presence will add balance to Pakistan’s lineup, thanks to his dynamic performance with the bat and the ball.

The 35-year-old all-rounder has represented Pakistan in 66 T20Is and scored 486 runs along with 65 wickets.

Meanwhile, several other changes are also expected in the playing XI for the fourth match with captain Babar Azam and Saim Ayub to retain their position as the opening batters.

In the absence of Mohammad Rizwan, who continues to grapple with a hamstring injury, Usman Khan is poised to take on wicketkeeping duties, slotting in at number three.

Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman is set to occupy the number four position, adding firepower to Pakistan’s middle order.

The team management’s decision to rest Naseem Shah underscores their commitment to optimizing performance, with Usama Mir stepping in to bolster the squad.

The pace bowling department remains formidable, spearheaded by the trio of Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, and Abbas Afridi. Notably, Amir returns to action after being rested for the third T20I, adding depth and experience to Pakistan’s bowling attack.

Will Mohammad Rizwan Be Available For Ireland Tour?

will-mohammad-rizwan-available-for-ireland-tour

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam will be without his trusted partner, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, for the final two T20Is against New Zealand.

Rizwan’s absence due to a hamstring injury leaves a void in the team’s lineup, adding to their challenges in the ongoing series.

During the third T20I clash against New Zealand, Rizwan experienced discomfort in his hamstring, prompting concerns about his fitness.

Following thorough medical assessments and consultation with the PCB Medical Panel, it was decided that Rizwan and emerging batter Irfan Khan would be rested for the upcoming matches.

Considering the nature of the injury, there are looming concerns over Rizwan’s participation in the upcoming series against Ireland, starting on 10 May.

Reacting to Rizwan’s injury, skipper Babar Azam expressed the team’s sentiments, acknowledging the significance of Rizwan’s contributions to Pakistan cricket.

babar-azam-against-management-for-rizwan-batting-position

Despite the setback, Babar remains optimistic about Rizwan’s recovery, hoping that he will be fit for the series against Ireland.

“Whenever a main player gets injured, a team misses him. The way he has served Pakistan and performances he has produced are in front of everyone,” Babar said in a presser ahead of the fourth T20I.

Babar Azam reassured fans that the team is committed to the rehabilitation of Rizwan, aiming for his timely return to the squad.

“It is not a major injury and we are trying to save him as much as we can. He will undergo rehabilitation at the NCA and I am confident he will get fit before the Ireland series,” he added.

Notably, Mohammad Rizwan is the third player to be ruled out of the Pakistan team due to injury in the ongoing series. Rizwan and Irfan Khan’s injury blow followed Azam Khan’s earlier withdrawal from the series due to injury.

Azam’s setback was compounded by a Grade One tear in his right calf muscle, necessitating a period of rest and sidelining him for the initial matches.

With the series against New Zealand finely poised at 1-1, Pakistan faces the challenge of regrouping without key players.

The fighting game community (FGC) has been buzzing with excitement as EVO Japan 2024 approaches. This prestigious tournament, known for its electrifying matches and global participation, is set to take place at the Ariake GYM-EX in Tokyo. However, there’s a somber note—the absence of Pakistani players due to visa issues. In this blog post, we delve into the details, explore the impact, and celebrate the resilience of our champions.

The EVO Japan Legacy

EVO Japan is part of the Evolution Championship Series (EVO), the longest-running fighting game tournament in history. Players from around the world gather to compete, showcasing their honed skills and battling for the championship title. EVO Japan continues this legacy, drawing enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Denied Champions Of Pakistan

Arslan Ash, a name synonymous with Tekken excellence, and the defending Tekken 7 champion, has secured the EVO title four times—twice in Japan and twice in the USA. His mastery of the game and unwavering dedication have made him a global icon. Yet, despite his accolades, Arslan faces an unexpected hurdle—visa issues preventing him from participating in EVO Japan 2024.

Arslan Ash won’t be the sole absentee from Pakistan. Atif Butt, hailing from Lahore, and Awais Honey from Gujranwala, also miss the high-profile event. Their reasons vary—Atif Butt’s visa application was rejected, while Awais Honey lost his passport in Thailand, rendering him unable to attend. Other notable Pakistani players to miss out on the tournament include; Qasim Meer, Hafiz Tanveer, The JON, Bilal and KHAN.

The Impact On EVO Japan

The absence of Pakistani representation casts a shadow over EVO Japan. Arslan Ash’s absence leaves a void in the Tekken community, where he has consistently raised the bar. Fans had hoped to witness his legendary Azucena gameplay, but fate had other plans.

Arslan Ash and the other Pakistani players remains undeterred. He expressed gratitude to his peers who supported him during the visa application process. Instead of dwelling on setbacks, he sets his sights on EVO US, scheduled for July. The fighting game community rallies behind him, cheering for his triumphs and empathizing with his challenges.

As EVO Japan unfolds, we celebrate the spirit of competition and the resilience of champions. Arslan Ash’s and the other’s absence serves as a reminder of the complexities faced by esports athletes. Let’s hope for smoother visa processes in the future, allowing players to showcase their skills on the grandest stages.

Pakistan team management is contemplating changes in the batting order, positioning Mohammad Rizwan at number four, however, captain Babar Azam is against the proposed change.

In the wake of the disheartening loss to New Zealand, the Pakistan team management is exploring options to revamp the batting order.

With uncertainty surrounding Rizwan’s availability due to injury, Usman Khan and Fakhar Zaman emerge as potential candidates for the number three spot.

Fakhar Zaman has yet to feature in the ongoing series, while Usman Khan has managed 12 runs across two innings, batting at number four.

While awaiting scan results to determine Rizwan’s fitness, the management deliberates on potential positional adjustments.

babar-azam-against-management-for-rizwan-batting-position

Despite the prospect of Rizwan’s return, questions arise regarding his optimal batting position given his recent form. The management is considering to reposition him at number four in the batting order.

The wicketkeeper batter has faced massive criticism in recent times for his slow batting in the powerplay, taking too many balls and leaving too much to achieve for the lower-order batters.

However, Babar Azam is completely behind Rizwan, voicing his dissent to management’s proposed change. Babar is a strong advocate of Rizwan to maintain his position at the top of the order.

Rizwan himself expressed reservations about the proposed change, considering his strong track record as a top-order batsman in T20Is.

Humayun Saeed And Saboor Aly Under Fire – Here’s What Happened

Humayun saeed and saboor ali

Pakistani superstars, Humayun Saeed and Saboor Aly are receiving heavy criticism after their cozy behavior and inappropriate interaction caught recently. These mainstream actors met recently at Yasir Hussain’s stage play, and a video leaked. Fans haven’t been able to stop talking about it since then.

Here’s the video

Humayun Saeed and Saboor Aly’s Interaction

At the star-studded event of the stage play “Jaan E Jaan,” Saboor Aly shared a warm exchange with Humayun Saeed. According to most fans, the meet-up was a bit too warm. After spotting each other from across, he greeted her with a tight hug. But that’s not all. The tight embrace was followed by a friendly kiss, all captured by social media. The comfortable interaction between them is creating a crazy buzz online.

As with every little movement by celebrities, this video too is being heavily scrutinised. From their attitude to their dressing, every detail is being criticized. Critics are pointing out how Humayun Saeed and Saboor Aly are displaying inappropriate closeness in public. Especially considering they are both happily married. Or do we assume?

Fans are upset by their bold behavior and are also expressing disappointment in Saboor Aly’s husband, Pakistani actor Ali Ansari. Unfortunately, after this particular incident, the actors are being labeled as celebrities who are lacking grace and decency. Humayun Saeed’s fans particularly hold him accountable in the comments section of this video.

As of now, neither have had anything to say. As does most gossip, we’re assuming that this time again they won’t say much, and everyone will eventually forget this and move on to the next thing.

It is vital to mention here, that many believe otherwise. For them, it is nothing less than a friendly interaction between two colleagues, who have known each other for a while.

Atif Aslam Viral Hug: The Dark Side Of Fan Culture

Atif Aslam On stage

More than often, die-hard fans lose all rationale and pull off the craziest stunts to grab their favorite stars’ attention. Particularly during concerts, we see news of the most random items being propelled onto the stage while they perform. Atif Aslam is the most celebrated singer in Pakistan. Currently, he is being praised for his exuberant behavior after a fan climbed up on stage as he was performing.

In between tour dates, Atif is currently visiting Bangladesh and will later stop by Nepal. It was nothing short of a heartfelt moment when Atif was singing ‘Dama Dam Mast Kalandar’. A renowned and very popular Sufi song in South Asia. During his outstanding performance, a fan broke barriers and climbed the stage.

How Atif Aslam Responded To The Situation

Though the details of what happened after this female fan made it to the stage, it’s safe to say that nothing about this was appropriate. It is appalling to see the encouragement of this type of behavior.

As a respectful and professional individual, it was no surprise that he responded kindly and calmly. However, had the roles been reversed, the public would certainly have reacted very differently. Moreover, if Atif had expressed his discomfort in the situation, he would have faced backlash and accusations for not being humble or appreciative of his fans.

From security footage and fan-recorded clips, we see the music phenomena hug his fan back. Unfortunately enough. It is public knowledge that no performer appreciates their stage being invaded, and no person likes the same for their personal space. We can’t imagine how Atif might have felt given his introverted nature and the general distance that he prefers from female fans.

After a brief chit-chat though, the fan was shifted off the stage and no one was harmed.

Who stressed the urgency of abolishing interest-based financial practices within five years. Responding to this. Minister Aurangzeb expressed that the government is actively working to eliminate interest-based systems as mandated by the FSC Signaling a paradigm shift towards Islamic financial principles.

MG Shocks The World With Its Electric Beast

Source: Car Magazine

With the excitement building around the 2024 Auto China show in Beijing, MG has thrown down a surprise with its EXE181, an electric hypercar that not only promises breathtaking aesthetics but also performance metrics that could shake the foundations of current land speed records.

Futuristic design

The EXE181, drawing inspiration from a 1959 concept, embodies a futuristic design with its teardrop shape and ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.181, making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient vehicles to date. This figure narrowly surpasses the drag coefficient of Volkswagen’s XL1 but trails behind the historical benchmarks set by concept cars like the 2022 Mercedes Vision EQXX and the 2000 General Motors Precept.

MG's Insane New Electric Hypercar Can Go From 0-100 KM/h in Less Than 2 Seconds

Positioned aggressively close to the ground, the EXE181’s single-seat monocoque design is reminiscent of the high-concept Vision Gran Turismo cars, blending the lines between  fantasy and tangible automotive advancement. This design is not merely for show; it plays a crucial role in enhancing the car’s aerodynamic properties, allowing it to slice through the air with minimal resistance.

Performance-wise, the MG EXE181 is not just a treat for the eyes but also a beast on the track. It boasts a blistering acceleration time, going from 0 to 62 mph in just 1.9 seconds. This remarkable achievement puts it in the league of some of the fastest production cars in the world, including recent record-setters like the Lucid Air Sapphire and the Rimac Nevera. However, Elon Musk’s claims of a sub-one-second 0 to 60 mph time for the upcoming Tesla Roadster still hangs over the industry like a bold challenge.

Setting New Speed Records?

While MG has kept the lid on the exact top speed of the EXE181, the company hints that it “defies the land speed record,” a nod perhaps to the vehicle’s historical precursor which clocked in at 254.91 mph driven by American racing legend Phill Hill. Such statements set high expectations and stir curiosity about the potential of electric vehicles to dominate speed records traditionally held by combustion engine cars.

MG’s strategic showcase at Auto China is not merely about flaunting technological uniqueness but positioning itself as a leader in the electric vehicle (EV) market, which is increasingly defined by a combination of efficiency, performance, and futuristic design. The EXE181 serves as a bold statement of MG’s ambition and the potential of electric hypercars to redefine the boundaries of automotive engineering and performance.

According to reports, here’s a little glimpse into the potential inner workings of WhatsApp’s upcoming feature. It can be divided into 4 simple steps.

  1. Initiating the Transfer: Imagine tapping on a photo you want to share. Alongside the usual “Send” button, you might see a new option like “Send Offline” or “Share without Internet.”
  2. Finding Nearby Devices: Selecting the offline option could trigger Bluetooth activation on your phone. WhatsApp would then scan for devices with compatible recipients nearby, similar to how some file-sharing apps discover nearby devices using Bluetooth.
  3. Secure File Transmission: Once you choose the recipient’s device, WhatsApp might establish a secure connection. This likely involves encryption to scramble the file during transfer, safeguarding the privacy of your photos, videos, or documents.
  4. Confirmation and Delivery: Upon successful transfer, you’ll probably receive a notification confirming the offline file sharing. The recipient, assuming they’re within Bluetooth range with their device turned on, will also be notified they have received a file offline.

The Benefits And Road Ahead Of The Feature

The introduction of offline file sharing on WhatsApp presents several advantages. First, it offers convenience in limited connectivity areas, benefiting users in regions with poor internet reception or limited data plans. With this feature, they can share photos, videos, and documents seamlessly without worrying about connectivity issues. Secondly, it ensures privacy and security, as files shared through this method will be end-to-end encrypted, just like WhatsApp messages, ensuring that your data remains secure throughout the process.

While WhatsApp’s offline file-sharing feature is still in beta testing, its potential impact is immense! Say goodbye to frustrating situations without the internet. Whether you’re at a family gathering, a remote picnic spot, or a crowded market, sharing memories and important files will soon be as easy as a tap.

WhatsApp continues to evolve, addressing user needs and enhancing connectivity. As this feature rolls out, users can look forward to a more seamless and efficient messaging experience. Keep an eye out for updates, and get ready to share files without boundaries!

Pakistan’s all-rounder Shadab Khan has sounded a clarion call to the national team’s batters, stressing the importance of improving their strike rate ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Following a significant defeat against New Zealand in the third T20I, questions have arisen regarding Pakistan’s intent and performance, prompting Shadab to address the pressing need for enhancement in their gameplay.

The right-handed all-rounder showed aggressive intent and scored a quick 41 off 20 towards the end helping Pakistan muster a respectable total in the aforementioned match.

Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan faced criticism for their slow batting in the middle overs. They collectively scored a meagre 59 runs in 50 balls.

Reflecting on Pakistan’s recent loss to New Zealand, Shadab Khan acknowledged the exemplary cricket displayed by the opposition.

He emphasized that in international cricket, there are no second-string teams, underlining the importance of consistent performance regardless of the opponent’s perceived experience level.

“There are no surprises in international cricket, nor there is any B or C team, we can say that a team has less experience, but that’s it,” Shadab said.

Stressing the significance of aggressive batting, he highlighted the correlation between boundary-hitting prowess and match-winning prospects.

According to Shadab, the team’s ability to score boundaries will be a determining factor in securing victories against top-tier teams.

“Strike rate is very important and we are trying [to improve it]. We have to play with a good strike rate against big teams. I believe that the team that scores more boundaries in a match has better chances to win,” he added.

Shadab Khan also emphasized the need for clarity regarding players’ roles and batting orders, emphasizing the importance of continuity and consistency in the team’s composition.

“The World Cup is right on the corner, every player should know his role and their batting order, as it is something in talks these days.”

Despite the setback against New Zealand, Shadab expressed confidence in Pakistan’s potential to clinch the World Cup title.

“I believe we have the team that can win the World Cup and we should make the combination that could play with continuity. There are nine more matches [before the World Cup], we should make the combination.”

India Won’t Participate in Champions Trophy 2025 In Pakistan

India is once again ready to spoil plans of a full-fledged multi-nation cricket event in Pakistan, as reports indicate that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reluctant to send its team for the Champions Trophy 2025.

The ICC Champions Trophy faces uncertainty as Team India may opt out of travelling to the neighbouring nation, citing political tensions.

Pakistan’s bid to host an international cricket event for the first time since the 1996 World Cup has been met with apprehension from India, casting doubt on the Champions Trophy’s venue.

This decision could potentially lead to a relocation of the event or the implementation of a hybrid model, according to a source within the BCCI.

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s openness to a bilateral series with India as a trade-off for their participation in the tournament underscores the delicate diplomatic dynamics surrounding cricket between the two nations.

“Look, we will consider options for bilateral series, but our target right now is to host the Champions Trophy and first let India come for the tournament,” Naqvi said.

“Once they come here first then we can look at any proposal whenever it comes before us,” he added.

However, despite recent discussions about a bilateral Test series, India’s reluctance to engage in cricketing ties with Pakistan remains steadfast.

The possibility of India skipping the Champions Trophy altogether reflects the strained relations due to prevailing political tensions.

Sources within the BCCI have indicated that obtaining government permission for travel to Pakistan presents a significant hurdle, particularly given the current state of bilateral relations.

The prospect of a hybrid model or a venue change is being explored as a potential alternative to accommodate India’s concerns.

“Forget bilateral series…Team India may not even travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. There might be a change of venue, a hybrid model is also possible,” a BCCI source said.

“The Indian board would need permission from the government for travel, currently our relations with Pakistan are not that good either,” the source added.

“Champions Trophy is an ICC event, so it would be a tough call for India but nothing without the government’s order/green signal. Bilateral series, I don’t see in the near future, that’s next to impossible.”

India and Pakistan’s cricketing rivalry has been marred by political tensions, with bilateral matches becoming increasingly rare in recent years.

The last Test match between the two sides took place in the 2007/08 season, while their last white-ball series occurred in 2012/13. Instead, encounters are limited to multi-nation events like the Asia Cup and global tournaments.

This Camera Can Turn Pictures Into Soulful AI Poetry

In the age of algorithms and pixels, where technology often distances us from the human touch, a remarkable invention has emerged—a bridge between the digital and the poetic. Meet the Poetry Camera, an enchanting fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and artistic expression. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the captivating journey behind its creation, explore how it transforms visual snapshots into evocative poems, and discuss why this invention resonates with both tech enthusiasts and lovers of literature.

The Birth Of A Unique Idea

The Poetry Camera began as a passion project. A simple and whimsical idea that sprouted from the minds of Kelin Carolyn Zhang and Ryan Mather. These two visionaries shared a love for both technology and the arts, and their collaboration birthed something truly extraordinary. They envisioned a device that would defy conventions, transcending the boundaries of photography and poetry.

A Polaroid With A Twist?

At first glance, the Poetry Camera resembles a vintage Polaroid camera. But instead of capturing mundane photographs, it performs a magical transformation. When you point it at a scene, be it a bustling street, a serene sunset, or a solitary tree. It doesn’t merely freeze the moment; it interprets it! The Poetry Camera’s lens sees beyond pixels and colors; it perceives emotions, patterns, and hidden stories.

The internal mechanisms of the Poetry Camera combine hardware and AI. The visual input is processed by a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, which also extracts pertinent data from the collected image. The OpenAI GPT-4 model, the device’s brains, receives this data after that. This AI behemoth weaves words, interprets emotions, and analyses composition. What was the outcome? A little piece of paper, similar to a receipt, with a poem on it that captures the scenario eloquently.

The Poetry Camera doesn’t digitally save photos or poetry, a decision that Zhang and Mather made on purpose. Why? well for 3 main reasons:

  1. Ease: Storing them is less complicated.
  2. Privacy: They respect privacy by making it transient.
  3. Significance: Every poetry turns into a transient relic, like to a closely guarded secret. It’s gone forever if you lose it.

Why People Love it!

As the Poetry Camera made its debut at social gatherings, reactions were simply amazing! People marveled at the idea of a camera that could generate beautiful poetry. It sparked conversations, ignited imaginations, and reminded us that technology is not only meant to be used for processing and helping but it can create something so magical.

It serves as a different take on a camera that we all are used to. The Poetry Camera adds layers to moments, its not simply just a snapshot, its a whole individual soul. The Poetry Camera is more than an invention; it’s a reminder that creativity thrives at the intersection of art and science. As pixels paint verses, we glimpse the magic that lies within everyday scenes. So, next time you capture a moment, ask yourself: Could this be poetry?
