The Lahore police has started to crackdown on underage driving cases and this is a good initiative from their end, especially after recent events. If someone intends to drive a car out on the road, it is important that they get their driving license first. To obtain the license, they have to go through two main steps; the written test and the driving test. While the former is comparatively easier since it requires going through reading material, the latter can be harder.

It is during the driving test that many people feel anxious under pressure and are unable to perform well. However, there are a few tips and tricks you can use to make sure your driving test goes well. Let us take a look at some of them,

1. Practice With Other Parked Cars

A lot of people head out to the driving test without any practice, and are unable to measure exactly how much they are supposed to turn. The driving test asks you to parallel park and garage park, which is in the shape of a reverse L. It can be quite beneficial for you to first practice with cones and between other parked cars, before attempting the test.

2. Prefer Own Car for Driving Test

It is always preferred to take your own car for the driving test, since you are already used to driving it. You can use one of the cars present at the test center but you might have to practice with them a bit before you can take them into the test. Of course, not everyone who comes for a license owns a car, so make sure to test the clutch of those center cars. It should not give up on you mid-test.

3. Blind spot Mirrors for Driving Test

If you place blind spot mirrors on each of your side mirrors, especially the far one, then it can help quite a lot with parking. Since you are not allowed to look back while parking, you can adjust the blind spot mirrors to spot the cone at its exact position. Blind spot mirrors are convex shaped, with a 360-degree turning angle, thus, you can view everything behind you quite well.

4. Do Not Go Forward

Sometimes, when you start reversing to park the car, you might realize midway that you turned less than you had to. If, in that instance, you go forward again, the test taker might fail you for trying to attempt the parking again. If you miscalculated a bit, just finish the parking and the test taker might just clear you.

Wahab Riaz announced an 18-member Pakistan Test squad for the upcoming series against Australia yesterday, marking his inaugural assignment in his new role.

The lineup presents a blend of fresh faces and familiar ones, featuring some eyebrow-raising exclusions and inclusions.

Muhammad Hurraira Excluded without Playing

Emerging talent Muhammad Hurraira, despite his impressive domestic track record, was dropped from the Test Squad without having played a single game on the previous Sri Lanka tour. Hurraira, previously a top run-getter in domestic cricket, faced disappointment after not getting an opportunity, possibly affecting his confidence.

Mohammad Wasim Jnr’s Return

The recall of Mohammad Wasim Jnr has raised questions. Although he showed a decent performance in the recent World Cup, his Test track record remains modest, with only two wickets across two games. His direct entry into the Test Squad without participation in this year’s Quaid-e-Azam trophy is seen as an unexpected move.

Silver Lining: Domestic Talent Recognition

The squad embraced domestic performers like Khurram Shahzad, Saim Ayub, and Mir Hamza. While their inclusion is promising, the challenge of performing against Australia, known for its toughness, lies ahead. Fans hold high expectations from these budding talents.

The Pakistan-Australia tour starts with a four-day warm-up game against Prime Minister’s XI on December 6, 2023. The Test series officially commences on December 14 at Perth, promising an engaging contest between the two sides.

The selection decisions have sparked discussions among fans, with hopes pinned on the newer faces to make an impact despite the formidable challenge that awaits in Australia.

The head of Pakistan’s selection committee, Wahab Riaz, unveiled the 18-member squad for the upcoming Test series against Australia, featuring young batting sensation Saim Ayub. The series is set to commence from December 14, 2023, till January 7, 2024.

This marks Shan Masood’s maiden stint as Test captain, leading the squad after taking over the mantle for the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle following Babar Azam’s resignation last week.

The 22-year-old, showcasing remarkable form for Karachi Whites, accumulated 553 runs across four matches, including three centuries, notably a match-defining double-century against Faisalabad in the tournament final.

His batting prowess continued in the Pakistan Cup, where he emerged as the tournament’s top scorer, earning the accolade for the best batter.

How did fans react to the selection of Saim Ayub?

The selection has sparked varied reactions among Pakistani fans. While some expressed the desire for Arshad Iqbal’s inclusion, others opined that Haris Rauf’s availability wouldn’t have impacted the outcome.

Nevertheless, there’s unanimous anticipation among supporters to witness the young left-handed sensation, Saim Ayub, in action during the upcoming series.

Haris Rauf Refutes Wahab Riaz’s Claim Of Opting Out From Australia Tour

Fast bowler Haris Rauf has refuted the claims by chief Selector Wahab Riaz about him withdrawing from the Australia tour at the last minute.

Wahab Riaz announced Pakistan’s Test squad for the upcoming series against Australia yesterday, marking his inaugural assignment in his new role.

The series, scheduled from December 14, 2023, to January 7, 2024, has stirred interest but has also sparked questions due to a notable omission: the absence of pacer Haris Rauf.

Notably, Haris Rauf has only featured in one Test match for Pakistan, however, there were speculations about his inclusion in the Australia series.

Wahab Riaz, during a press conference, shed light on Rauf’s exclusion, citing the player’s concerns over workload management. According to Riaz, Rauf had initially agreed to join the Test squad but later altered his decision due to worries about fitness and workload issues.

“We had discussions with Haris Rauf regarding the tour, and he initially consented to participate in the Tests. However, he changed his mind at the last moment,” Riaz stated. “He expressed concerns about fitness and workload, despite our reassurances and the absence of any injury concerns flagged by our physio.”

However, conflicting reports have surfaced regarding this exchange. A source close to Haris Rauf contradicted Riaz’s statements, mentioning that Rauf never confirmed his availability for the Test series in Australia.

Haris Rauf purportedly emphasized his focus on enhancing his white-ball skills and overall fitness, given his limited involvement in red-ball cricket recently.

Notably, Wahab Riaz himself pulled out of the Australian tour at the last minute back in 2019, announcing his retirement from red ball cricket.

Adding to the complexity, there’s uncertainty surrounding the Pakistan Cricket Board’s issuance of a No-Objection Certificate for Haris Rauf to participate in the Big Bash League (BBL). This uncertainty is linked to the strained relationship between the chief selector and Rauf.

This dispute sets up a puzzling situation, especially with the imminent start of the BBL on December 13, overlapping with the Test series in Australia. Rauf, a key player for the Melbourne Stars, faces potential obstacles in securing clearance to partake in the league due to these conflicting circumstances.

‘Babar Deserves Better’ Fans Broken After Hania-Badshah Selfie

By
Nimra Afzal
-

The online community woke up to a delightful fan-edit last week, featuring the pairing of Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam and actress Hania Aamir as both trended on the platform X.

The fan creation was a compilation of clips where Hania Aamir confessed to find Babar Azam cuter than Naseem Shah during her appearance at a game show. Interestingly, Babar Azam reciprocated with a similar sentiment on a separate occasion captured in the compilation.

The fan-edit was cute enough to make everyone want to see the duo as prospective partner while some fans playfully dubbed Hania as the “Pakistani Anushka,” drawing parallels to the well-known couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.

Despite Hania Aamir’s clarification that she views Babar Azam as nothing more than a brother, the online frenzy continued unabated. However, a recent selfie featuring Hania Aamir and Bollywood rapper Badshah emerged, providing an unexpected twist to the BaNia hype—a term coined by fans for the Babar Azam and Hania Aamir pairing.

Initially, skepticism surrounded the authenticity of the first picture, capturing them together at the Emirates Mall in Dubai. However, Hania dispelled doubts by sharing a picture of them embracing each other to wish Babar Azam on his birthday, celebrated on November 19th.

While the first picture of them spotted together in Dubai was being scrutinised for its authenticity, Hania posed a picture of two hugging each other to wish him well on his birthday on November 19th.

Contrary to the initial fan excitement, the selfie triggered a shift in sentiment. Fans expressed reservations, deeming the interaction off-putting while others were of the opinion that Babar deserves better.

Some were taken aback by Hania’s apparent comfort around the Bollywood singer, urging that the actress should have maintained boundaries.

Some felt that Hania’s choices come across as rather opportunistic.

A fraction of the online community took a more critical stance, accusing the actress of lacking personality and self-respect for seemingly making herself available to every other guy.

Broken Smartphone: Fix It Or Buy A New One?

Smartphones have become an essential part of our lives, assisting us in countless ways everyday. Whether we are inside the house or outside, we need to have our smartphone on us, to keep interacting with the world out there.

However, sometimes it does happen that our smartphone breaks due to a mishap or a fall. This can cause quite a lot of damage to it and can keep you off the internet for a while. Thus, with how fast technology is evolving, is it worth to get the smartphone repaired or is it better to buy a newer one? New models are released every month, in all kinds of budget ranges, so should one get their phone repaired?

The Need for Smartphone Repair

At times, our smartphone suffers an amount of damage that makes us wonder whether we should get it repaired or not. However, there are a couple of factors to keep in mind when taking this decision. Firstly, it is important to see which component has gotten damaged. If it is the screen panel, then you might be looking at a repair cost that is half of the price of the smartphone.

However, if the damage is to the speakers or the body of the phone or the charging port, then it is better to get it repaired. You don’t want to spend on a new smartphone simply because your phone has a dent in it, that is something that can be considered as minor damage.

Purchasing a New Phone

At times, you might not be able to see a lot of visible damage to the phone itself, but you might notice something on the screen. If you come across a black spot on the screen, even as small as a dot, that is a sign that your phone is now running on borrowed time. It has a dead pixel on the screen and dead pixels tend to increase more and more with time.

This means that you will either have an entirely blackened screen soon or the touch functionality of the phone might stop working. In such a case, the replacement cost of the panel, with no warranty, can make you want to purchase another smartphone. It is also important to note how much your phone’s value is going to fall with the damage.

If the value fall is greater, it can sometimes be better to sell it in the broken condition than spend on it any more.

Rabya Kulsoom Questions Srha Asghar’s Professionalism

Pakistani actress Rabya Kulsoom on Sunday took a dig at Srha Asghar by using her as an example to define unprofessionalism.

During a recent appearance on Momin Saqib’s show “Had Kardi,” Rabya Kulsoom stressed on the issue of professionalism within the entertainment realm, pinpointing two specific behaviors that she deems unprofessional.

Kulsoom addressed the matter of punctuality, emphasising her stance on actors who arrive late.

“Those who are not punctual show a lack of respect for their colleagues and the production team,” the actor remarked.

Kulsoom then turned her attention to another facet of unprofessionalism and delved into actors who intentionally create controversies for attention.

“Some actors resort to deliberate controversies, making controversial statements or criticizing fellow actors in the industry to garner attention,” Kulsoom voiced her disapproval, asserting that such actions compromise the integrity of the acting profession.

Kulsoom provided a concrete example to illustrate her point. “If I were inclined to create a controversy, I could easily state that Srha Asghar is not a professional actor, making it difficult to collaborate with her,” she stated, underlining the potential harm caused by baseless controversies in the industry.

Instagram is on the cusp of introducing an intriguing new feature called “My Week.” This feature, currently in its testing phase and not yet available to the public, could revolutionize the way users interact with their Stories.

The proposed My Week feature presents an exciting opportunity for users to extend the lifespan of their Stories on their profiles for a full week. This functionality aims to grant users greater control over their content visibility, empowering them to curate specific stories for a seven-day duration, thus allowing for prolonged sharing and engagement with their followers.

Enhanced Content Creation and Business Opportunities

Should this feature become available, it could unlock a myriad of creative possibilities. Content creators might leverage My Week to offer behind-the-scenes glimpses or craft engaging mini-series showcasing their daily lives or work routines. For businesses, this feature could serve as a powerful tool to promote products, services, or even share customer testimonials, fostering stronger connections with their audience.

However, it’s important to note that My Week appears to be in its developmental phase, and there’s uncertainty regarding its eventual release to the wider public. Instagram, known for its continuous experimentation with various features, often takes time to refine and roll out new functionalities.

Recent Updates and Future Prospects

In recent updates, Instagram’s parent company, Meta, has introduced enhancements to the app. Users now have the ability to manipulate clips more extensively while creating Reels, including scaling, cropping, and rotating, as well as accessing audio clips from the new Instagram clip hub.

It could serve as a valuable reminder for significant events or cater to the needs of frequent travelers who prefer documenting their experiences on the platform.

Awaiting the Arrival of My Week

Given Instagram’s iterative approach to feature testing, it may take time before My Week reaches beta or stable versions of the app. While the feature’s exact release date remains uncertain, we’ll keep you informed as soon as it becomes available for wider use.

Is Heinz Latest Ad Promoting Ketchup As A Supplement?

By
Dr. Rida Qamar

Heinz has launched an exciting campaign for marathon enthusiasts, guiding them to locations for complimentary Heinz ketchup packets. Tailored for devoted ketchup fans fueling their runs, these 10ml packets, with carbs and salt as main ingredients, offer 0 calories and 2.6g-5g of carbs each. To meet carb needs, runners may opt for 8-12 packets per session.

However, the question is, ‘Does it help?’

Discussions on using ketchup as a supplement have persisted for years. In 2021, a Reddit thread on r/RunningCirclejerk began with user @poppypines seeking budget-friendly alternatives to Gu or Bloks, asking if anyone had tried refueling with mini ketchup packets. Responses included a suggestion for mustard to help prevent cramps.

The campaign has alarmed doctors and health practitioners as they say that chugging on ketchup might not be the ideal solution.

“Runners, swimmers, cyclists or anyone who exercises for more than 60 minutes needs to adequately fuel their body for the best workout,” dietitian Katherine Patton said in the report. “This is important because while you exercise, your body draws on carbohydrates stored in your muscles. However, the available amount is limited.”

Opening and consuming numerous ketchup packets while on the move can be cumbersome, potentially diverting an athlete’s attention and efficiency. Given the challenges of even opening a single packet, relying on a dozen during a long run raises doubts about the practicality of Heinz ketchup as a sports supplement.

Moreover, sports gels commonly include essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, crucial for preventing dehydration and muscle cramps. While Heinz ketchup does provide some electrolytes through its salt content, sports gels are specifically formulated for a more precise electrolyte balance, making them the preferred choice for athletes.

Certainly, the choice to use ketchup as a sports supplement appears to be a personal preference, with some individuals appreciating its added tangy flavor.

Australia’s win in the 2023 World Cup, their sixth, has made a big impact in cricket. The victory against India at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium showed their strong position in the sport.

The stadium, packed with over 100,000 fervent spectators, witnessed a gripping showdown as the Australian bowlers displayed their might by restricting India to a modest 240 runs. The chase that followed was no less dramatic. Despite a rocky start where Australia stumbled to 47/3 within seven overs, Travis Head emerged as the hero of the hour.

Architects of Victory

Travis Head’s stellar century, coupled with Marnus Labuschagne’s resilient 58 not out, steered Australia to a resounding six-wicket win, clinching the title in spectacular fashion.

Head’s masterful partnership with Labuschagne, worth a staggering 192 runs, turned the tides in favor of the Aussies, inching them closer to their historic victory. The left-handed dynamo, Head, exhibited aggressive batting prowess, while Labuschagne anchored the innings with a cautious approach, ensuring they stayed on course for the title.

In a standout performance, Travis Head etched his name in cricketing history, notching up a breathtaking 137 runs in the final. His spectacular 120-ball innings comprised 15 boundaries and four towering sixes, cementing his status as a match-winner.

Shoaib Akhtar’s Warning

Amidst the celebration of Australia’s triumph, a tweet from former Pakistani pace ace Shoaib Akhtar garnered attention across social media platforms. In a prescient post from October on X (formerly Twitter), Akhtar had forewarned the cricketing world about the repercussions of Australia’s potential defeat.

The former ‘Rawalpindi Express’ cautioned that an Australian loss would trigger an aggressive comeback from the team, spelling trouble for their opponents in the remainder of the tournament. Reflecting on his earlier prediction, Akhtar reshared the post after Australia’s triumphant win against India, affirming his foresight regarding Australia’s dominance in the tournament.

The victory not only solidifies Australia’s cricketing supremacy but also underscores the significance of strategic gameplay and resilience in high-stakes matches. As the cricketing world applauds Australia’s sixth World Cup victory, it also contemplates the prescience of Shoaib Akhtar’s warning, acknowledging the undeniable prowess of the Aussie cricketing team.

Marriage Is Worth The Risk: Saba Qamar

By

Love and marriage have taken centre stage in the recent revelations from acclaimed actress Saba Qamar, who candidly shared her views on companionship.

The actress, who had earlier disclosed her criteria for a suitable companion, opened up further during a recent conversation with fellow actor Ahsan Khan.

Read: Saba Qamar Shares Qualities Of Her “Dream Man”

While gracefully sidestepping questions about a past engagement controversy with blogger Aleem Khan, Saba Qamar unreservedly embraced the concept of marriage, affirming that it is worth the risk.

Saba shared, “The one who has a partner isn’t happy, nor is the person who doesn’t [have a partner]. So it’s better to have it than not. Worth the risk. Whether it works or not should only be saved for later.”

Ahsan Khan expressed the perceived difficulty with independent girls, to which Saba responded by asserting that love is a gesture everyone needs, irrespective of their independence. She challenged the notion that individuals could feel complete without a partner.

In response to Ahsan Khan’s query about whether career-oriented women regret being too busy for marriage, Saba acknowledged that the realisation often hits, noting that certain things are destined for individuals at specific moments in their lives.

She extended this sentiment to independent women. “Life without love is nothing,” she stated firmly, adding that anyone who believes otherwise is in a denial or lying.

“One day, you’ll get bored of your diamonds and dresses. What’s the point of those dresses and that big empty house?” she added.

Saba Qamar as a Lover 

Saba Qamar delved into the intricacies of love, expressing her admiration for the philosophy of Bulleh Shah and advocating for unconditional love.

When questioned about emotional attachment and why it did not progress, Saba revealed her perspective on love, stating, “I am a fan of love. If I like someone, I wouldn’t demand that they love me back. You should love without expectations or unconditionally; I will still love them if they’re not there.”

Indian cricket maestro Virat Kohli makes history yet again by becoming the only player to secure the “Player of the Tournament” title in three ICC tournaments.

Virat Kohli, who is currently 35 years of age might not be around by the time of next ICC ODI World Cup scheduled in 2027, meaning yesterday the world might have seen him for the last time in the mega-event.

Virat Kohli stunned the world with his exceptional performance during the ICC World Cup 2023, despite India’s six-wicket defeat to Australia in the final on Sunday.

The right-handed batting sensation showcased his mastery by accumulating a staggering 765 runs during the World Cup, setting a new record for the most runs scored in a single World Cup edition. With a remarkable average of 95.62 and a strike rate of 90.31, Kohli mesmerized fans in 11 matches, with his standout innings of 117 against New Zealand in the semi-final.

Kohli’s journey to clinching this prestigious title started back in 2014 at the T20 World Cup, where he amassed 319 runs in six innings at an outstanding average of 106.33. Just two years later, Kohli claimed the Player of the Tournament accolade in the 2016 T20 World Cup, contributing 273 runs in five innings with an incredible average of 136.50.

However, despite his stellar individual performances, India couldn’t clinch the title in any of the tournaments where Kohli was awarded the Player of the Tournament. They faced defeat in the 2014 final against Sri Lanka and in the 2016 semi-final against West Indies.

Throughout the ICC World Cup 2023, Kohli shattered multiple records, surpassing his idol Sachin Tendulkar in scoring his 50th ODI century. He also surpassed the legendary Australian Ricky Ponting, securing the second-highest run-scoring position in ODI World Cup history.

Kohli’s phenomenal World Cup journey concluded in the final against Australia, where he added 54 runs to his tally. His total stands at an impressive 1795 runs in 37 matches, featuring five centuries and 12 half-centuries, with his highest score of 117 against New Zealand in this edition’s semi-final.

While Ricky Ponting managed 1,743 runs in 46 matches and Sachin Tendulkar led with 2,278 runs in 45 matches in ODI World Cup history, Kohli’s awe-inspiring performance has etched his name in the annals of cricket history once more.

Are India The New Chokers Of World Cricket?

Team India has ‘choked’ once again and faced a disappointing loss in the ICC World Cup 2023 final against Australia, raising the question ‘are India the new chokers in World Cricket?’.

The six-wicket defeat against Australia continued India’s frustrating streak in ICC tournaments, extending their search for an ICC title for over a decade now.

India’s golden era in world cricket commenced in 2007 after they were knocked out from the World Cup 2007 and MS Dhoni was handed over the reigns of leadership.

Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, India secured the inaugural T20 World Cup trophy by defeating Pakistan in a thrilling final. Subsequently, in 2011, the team claimed the ODI World Cup at home, and in 2013, clinched the Champions Trophy.

Since Champions Trophy in 2013, India have been ‘chokers’ in ICC events as they are unable to secure an ICC title, marking over ten years of elusive championship glory.

The wait for an ICC trophy will extend for at least seven more months, with India’s next opportunity likely to come in the T20 World Cup scheduled for June 2024 in the United States of America and the West Indies.

Meanwhile, Pat Cummins led Australia to their record-extending sixth World Cup title, showcasing an exceptional display of cricketing dominance.

Australia’s recent triumph marks a historic feat, having claimed all three ICC trophies within a span of two years—the T20 World Cup, the World Test Championship, and now the ODI World Cup—solidifying their position as the foremost cricketing nation without any doubts.

Toyota Vitz Vs Suzuki Swift – Which One Should You Buy?

The world of hatchbacks is quite an expansive one, where we are introduced to newer ones every year. Pakistan has one of the strongest markets for hatchbacks and people in Karachi prefer to keep them. The Toyota Vitz and Suzuki Swift are two of the most famous ones here.

The comparison between Vitz and Swift has been a long standing one, with both having their pros and cons in respective areas. Similarly, when people come to buying a hatchback, deciding between a Vitz and Swift can be a carefully thought-out decision.

Vitz And Swift Performances

While the Vitz comes equipped with both the 1 Liter and the 1.3 Liter engine, there can be a performance difference between it and the Swift. The Suzuki Swift puts all its effort into a 1.3 Liter engine, giving a higher top speed and greater stability on the road. However, the Toyota Vitz can run quite well and faster on rough terrain due to its soft suspension.

Fuel Economy and Spare Parts

Since Hatchbacks have smaller engine sizes, a 1 Liter engine can give an impressive fuel average, especially over long distances. With the Toyota Vitz, people have the option of selecting the 1 Liter variant, which gives them more than 18 Km/l over long distances. In comparison, while the swift has good performance, it also burns more fuel in doing so, giving less than 15Km/l over long distances.

Vitz And Swift Comfort

Both vehicles stand ahead in terms of comfort, as both have an outstanding level of it. Of course, we can say that the Suzuki Swift has more of a sitting space than the Toyota Vitz, but the level of comfort in the seats is almost the same. Whether you are a fan of the former or the latter, the comfort you are seeking is going to be provided to you either ways.

The Verdict

That said, both vehicles are ahead in their own respective areas, and one holds weight over the other. Where the Toyota Vitz gives a higher fuel average and comfort, the Suzuki Swift provides greater performance as well as availability of spare parts. In the end, it comes down to the buyer as to whether they prefer the Vitz or the Swift.

Balenciaga’s $925 Towel Skirt Will Make You Give Up On Fashion

By

Balenciaga is indeed quite serious with its recent launch. While it might seem like a joke, the brand is committed to its unique and often avant-garde approach to fashion. Yes, we are talking about the $925 towel skirt.

No, it’s not made of cashmere or adorned with mink buttons. It’s precisely what it sounds like a terry-cotton skirt mimicking the appearance of a towel hastily wrapped around your waist post-shower.

The only thing different however is the two buttons inside the waistline to prevent any unexpected unraveling. The skirt, featured in look 30 of the Spring 24 Collection from the fashion house, is available for pre-order on its website. Designated as a unisex item, the 100 percent cotton skirt is equipped with two waistline buttons and an adjustable belt buckle on the inside.

Is This The First For Balenciaga?

Indeed, Balenciaga has a history of offering everyday household items at substantial prices. In a previous instance, the fashion house sold a handbag with a resemblance to a trash bag for a staggering $1,790. The creative mind behind these unique creations, Demna Gvasalia, openly expressed his affinity for what he calls a ‘fashion scandal.’

The holiday wishlist might not get any tacky than this. If you think this has a very low chance of going ablaze, last year Balenciaga sold destroyed sneakers for $1,850 and they sold out.

IKEA Steps In

Leveraging the current prominence of the high-end fashion brand, Ikea, the Swedish homewares and furniture company, released a cheeky advertisement featuring its $10 VINARN bath towel. In the promotional images, a model sported a towel wrapped around his waist, paired with construction pants. Adding a touch of humor, the man topped off the look in a true Balenciaga fashion – a black hoodie and wrap-around moto sunglasses.
