PCB has announced a ten-day training camp in collaboration with the Pakistan Army at the esteemed Kakul Military Academy, in a bid to enhance the fitness levels of national cricketers.

This initiative comes in response to PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s expressed concerns regarding the current fitness standards of the team.

“We have New Zealand [series] coming up, then Ireland, England and the T20 World Cup. I wondered, ‘When will we train?’ but there was no time,” said Naqvi.

“However, we’ve found a window, where we’ve organised a camp in Kakul (military academy) from March 25 to April 8. The Pakistan Army will be involved in your training, and hopefully, they’ll help you out.”

Set to commence on 25th March and extend until 8th April, the training camp aims to address pressing fitness issues among players ahead of a crucial series as well as the impending T20 World Cup 2024.

The decision to conduct the camp during Ramadan, immediately following the conclusion of PSL 9, underscores the urgency and significance attached to elevating players’ fitness levels.

While the timing might appear challenging due to the fasting period, the PCB is resolute in its commitment to raising the fitness bar for national cricketers.

This isn’t the first time that Pakistani cricketers have undergone rigorous training at the Kakul Military Academy.

Previous instances have yielded fruitful results, with Pakistan ascending to the top of Test rankings under Misbah-ul-Haq following intensive military training sessions.

PCB Chairman Naqvi, cognizant of the demanding schedule and players’ limited recovery time, emphasizes the paramount importance of prioritizing national commitments over the allure of lucrative T20 leagues.

He implores players to rise to the occasion, elevate their performances, and strive for excellence in fitness and strength.

The collaborative effort between the PCB and the Pakistan Army signifies a holistic approach towards nurturing talent and fostering a culture of fitness and discipline within the national cricketing fraternity.

As the countdown begins for the upcoming series and tournaments, all eyes are on the transformative impact that the Kakul Military Academy training camp will have on Pakistan’s cricketing landscape.

Several individuals reported being logged out of their accounts and were left unable to access the platform, causing a wave of frustration among its vast user base.

After Barbie Biryani, Hulk Biryani Goes Viral

By

Creamy Creations By HKR has taken over Instagram like a storm. Their first viral dish surprised everyone. A trendy twist on every Pakistani’s favorite dish, biryani. Making it all PINK down to the chicken and pairing it with a matching pink raita (yogurt) is an idea perhaps no one could ever have. However, that’s not where it ends. Recently, Heena Kausar, the chef and mastermind behind this innovation has come up with something new. Hulk Biryani! that’s right, it’s green. With a flavourful twist called Italian Tikka, this dish is surely going to blow your mind and food buds away.

Creamy Creations has become a highly viewed baking channel, generating almost 200k views. On Heena’s YouTube channel, you can find a thorough description of the courses offered.

”Heena Kausar’s Cake Baking Academy and Workshop offers comprehensive cake-baking courses for both beginners and professionals in Mumbai. With online and offline training, students can learn a variety of techniques including baked and no-bake cheesecake, brownies, French desserts, Kunafa, Opera Cake, Kunafa, and Baklawa.”

Her first sensational dish, Barbie Biryani otherwise called Pink Biryani is not as sweet as it sounds. It’s just our regular favorite dish, made pink. We can see HKC academy students enjoy platefuls of the dish on Heena’s channel. Later, when she introduces yet another version, we see her share a plate with all her students.

Have a look:

Overlooked Hygiene

However, a highly concerning oversight has gone unnoticed. The pot containing “Hulk Biryani” seems to be covered with newspaper, a harmful practice that can cause serious health issues. Despite the excitement about this culinary invention, the use of inked paper is simply unhygienic. These papers contain chemicals that can seep into the food and pose significant risks.

It seems the possibilities of what can be added to biryani are endless. From pink food coloring to Italian flavouring we’re not sure of what to expect next.

Why Does PayPal’s Role Remain Ambiguous In Pakistan?

In the bustling markets of Pakistan, where traditional markets have been seen thriving, all while being amidst a rapidly growing digital economy, the absence of PayPal, who is a global leader in online payments, poses quite a unique conundrum. Let’s explore the complexities of PayPal‘s decision to stay out of the Pakistani market, and the effects on the country’s IT industry.

What Is Paypal?

PayPal serves as a platform for safe and efficient international transactions, making it stand out like a beacon of financial connectivity in the global economy. Due to its reputation for making cross-border payments simple, both the people, as well as the corporations highly value this service.

PayPal Office California

PayPal‘s large network, easy-to-use interface, and strong security procedures make it a unique service that no one else can offer. Because of these characteristics, it has become the preferred option for freelancers and customers from around the world, building confidence and streamlining the payment process.

You may find yourself asking, but why would we even need it in the first place? For Pakistanis, the benefits of using a PayPal account are far too many. It offers lower transaction costs, more financial security, and access to a larger global market. Because of these crucial factors, it has gained a widespread fan-base, especially alluring to the growing freelancing population.

The Promise And The Letdown

The people of Pakistan have been anxiously waiting for Paypal to make its entry into the market. Years of numerous administrations have even made promises of bringing it to their beloved country. This time, however, a huge surge in the number of freelancers caught the country’s officials’ attention, prompting the introduction of new policies and the initiation of plans to finally realize the dream, but alas, it all proved to be just a mirage.

Disappointment followed months of anticipation when PayPal’s formal debut in Pakistan failed to materialize yet again. The story that officials crafted, implying their impending arrival, proved to be a hoax, leading many to doubt the veracity of such assertions. A silver lining arose in spite of the setback: third-party apps like Payoneer have made it easier for people to use PayPal’s services indirectly. Even though it’s not ideal, this setup has made it possible to temporarily receive foreign payments via Paypal.

The contract between PayPal and Payoneer was not influenced by the Pakistan IT Minister, despite what is being believed. This refutes the idea that the officials had any say in the relationship. Many were quick to criticize the IT officials who tried to claim fame for something Payoneer had been working on for quite some time now.

While others have started pointing out the deteriorating situation of the IT sector in Pakistan and that no amount of policies made by the past/ current governments have resolved them. They also shared light on how, instead of having banks facilitate freelancers, they are being charged exorbitant fees or provided with unfair exchange rates.

LinkedIn Post on Paypal

Hard Pill To Swallow

Pakistan’s IT industry confronts many challenges; freelancers struggle with insufficient payment channels and poor infrastructure. These difficulties highlight the requirement for a reliable digital payment system that can accommodate the skilled labor force in the nation.

PayPal however, has refrained from discussing its potential entry into the Pakistani market, citing a number of operational and legal issues. The ecology surrounding digital payments is now empty, waiting for an answer. PayPal‘s integration with Pakistan’s financial system has the potential to be revolutionary, opening up new trade opportunities, improving company accessibility, and driving the IT industry to new heights. But for now, it seems to remain a dream for many.

HBO Max Takes Serious Action Against Password Sharing

HBO Max has become a dominant force in the rapidly changing digital streaming market by providing a vast and varied content library that appeals to a broad spectrum of viewers. The latest action taken by the platform to crack down on password sharing, however, has spurred discussion about the direction of streaming and how to strike a balance between user convenience and business profitability.

Streaming Library

Warner Bros. Discovery’s premium streaming channel, HBO Max, has already established itself as a well-recognized source of top-quality entertainment.

It offers fans looking for exclusivity and diversity an all-in-one platform with everything from critically acclaimed series to blockbuster films.

The HBO Max Sharing Dilemma

Using a single account’s credentials for several homes, or “password sharing,” has long been a popular workaround for consumers trying to cut subscription expenses. Although handy for customers, businesses lose a lot of money as a result.

Password On screen

Password sharing threatens the subscription model of streaming services like HBO Max, resulting in exaggerated user counts but sluggish revenue growth. Budgets for creating content are impacted, as is the general caliber of these services.

Sharing Isn’t Always Caring

HBO Max intends to implement steps to restrict password sharing in order to counter this, joining forces with industry titans like Netflix and Disney+. The expected controls aim to restrict concurrent streaming from non-primary residences and enforce device authentication.

HBO Max is set to soon redefine the rules for password sharing and the simultaneous use of multiple displays. The focus is shifting towards personal accounts and legitimate family sharing within the same household. Later this year, HBO Max will release the initial stages of its anti-password sharing features, with full implementation set for 2025. This gradual approach aims to acclimate consumers to the new system without disrupting their viewing experience.

Netflix icons

Compared to Netflix, which takes a tougher approach and charges for shared accounts, HBO Max‘s takes a more lax approach to password sharing, acknowledging that some degree of sharing is unavoidable and adopting clear but flexible regulations instead. HBO Max‘s flexible strategy might establish a precedent in the industry, prioritizing flexibility over strict control, as streaming providers struggle with heightened competition and the need to maintain audience contentment with income.

The Voice Of The People

This crackdown is a harbinger of a major shift in the internet streaming industry, one that might result in more individualized viewing experiences and creative subscription plans that accommodate different tastes and financial constraints.

Public reactions have varied; some individuals have voiced dissatisfaction due to a perceived reduction in flexibility, while others recognize the essential need for fair compensation of content creators.

‘She copied me’ – Aima Baig Accuses Nehaal Naseem

Pakistani singer Aima Baig has recently fired imitation accusations at Nehaal Naseem, also a Pakistan-based singer. In a recent podcast by Ahmed Ali butt, also known as “Excuse me with Ahmed Ali Butt” she claims “she literally like…totally copied me.” When she was requested to name overrated and underrated artists, Aima spoke plenty about how most women are underrated.

Here’s the entire podcast:

Nehaal Naseem’s career took off when an old cover went viral back in 2016. She was only 11 at the time she recorded the video and since then has debuted another cover named ‘Ijazat.’ But known best for her Coke Studio appearances, vocalist Aima Baig has stated that she sounds exactly like her.

When concluding the podcast, she began with “I like this girl very much, I count her success as mine because she copied me.” Fans have found this quite a surprising accusation coming from someone who herself has been accused of copying another singer’s style.

When netizens pointed fingers at her for copying superstar Ariana Grande, she claimed there’s nothing wrong with taking a little inspiration from other artists. Then how come you’re credible enough to call someone else’s success, your achievement? Aima tried her best to take the matter with a light heart and said, if it brings you joy and makes you laugh, then so be it. Sometimes I like Ariana’s style, sometimes Selena’s.

If Aima, herself, takes inspiration from people around her it seems only fair that others may too.

Guy From Peshawar Stuns Pakistanis With His English Commentary

Cricket is the most popular sport in Pakistan and youngsters from all regions want to excel either as a batter or a bowler, however, Waqar Ahmad Betni, also known as “Waqar Commentator, found his passion in cricket commentary.

Waqar, a student of BS Zoology, balances his studies with the responsibilities of a security guard to fund his education. However, amidst his academic pursuits and work commitments, Waqar’s true passion lies in the world of cricket commentary.

Waqar did not undergo formal training in English or commentary. Instead, he honed his linguistic skills during his schooling years, with the guidance of teachers and his own dedication.

His love for the English language was nurtured during his O and A-level studies, where he practised diligently without regular English courses. The art of commentary, he learned, came from hours of listening to cricket commentators, absorbing their styles and techniques.

While some liken his commentary to that of New Zealand commentator Danny Morrison, Waqar insists on his unique style and tone, reflecting his individuality and passion for the game.

“I don’t follow anyone but commentate in my own style and tone, which people like a lot but some people say my commentating style is like Danny Morrison.”

Despite being more inclined towards bowling in cricket, Waqar’s commentary talents have caught the attention of social media users. He was never fond of social media, but his friends recorded his commentary and uploaded it on social media, which went viral and propelled him into the spotlight.

Waqar expressed a burning desire for an opportunity to pursue a career in commentary. However, he believes that talent thrives only when given the chance. He is waiting for his chance to represent Pakistan on national and international platforms.

As he continues to refine his skills and await his breakthrough moment, Waqar Ahmad Betni stands as a symbol of hope and determination for aspiring commentators everywhere.
