Eric André is encouraging people to “stay fat” after dropping 40 pounds in six months For the forthcoming sixth season of “The Eric André Show.”
Eric For GQ Magazine
Speaking to GQ in a recent interview, Eric revealed his thoughts about losing weight.
“There is a reason skinny people are b!tches and fat people are jolly,” Said André.
Adding that fat people,” such as “sumo wrestlers” and “Santa Claus,” are “happy.”
“Skinny people have f—king attitudes because they’re f—king starving,” the “Bad Trip,” I say stay fat. If you’re fat or chubby, stay that way. I felt great but it wasn’t worth cutting out French fries.”
André ate a lot of “boring” and “dreadful” pre-made meals instead of dining and drinking out with friends as part of his road to “getting ripped,” which he said took him from 213 pounds to 173 pounds and below nine percent body fat.
“My assistant came up to me and asked me [how I] I feel — f–king hungry! I remember being irritated,” he recalled.
“You look good in the mirror and you’re happy with what you see but you’re hungry—and you can’t drink alcohol. You can’t have fun,” the comedian said.
“I’ll never do a body modification again! That s—t was brutal for both seasons.”
Looking back at his weight loss journey, he mentioned that despite his increased fitness and understanding of health and weight management, as soon as the filming was through, he “ate an entire pepperoni pizza.”

“And then I went to Portugal and drank my weight in wine. I got back from the trip and stepped on the scale, and I undid six months of work in about three weeks,” he added.
Adding that “hot Cheetos, rum, cognac, and playing video games” is what I prefer.

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has announced its budget suggestions for the fiscal year 2023–2024 in Lahore. The ideas emphasize the need for significant changes in Pakistan’s economic policy to address urgent concerns. The recommendations are intended to address problems like population expansion, climate change, agricultural disincentives, and worries about food security.
The ACCA underlines the need for the government, political parties, and business associations to sign a “charter of the economy” for the next 10-15 years in order to maintain consistency in policies and their implementation. This long-term dedication will promote stability and sustainably increase the economy.
The budget plans offer a multifaceted strategy for enhancing the balance of payments, lowering imports, raising exports, and boosting domestic spending. Consistent economic policies, utilizing local talent and resources, and adopting a new economic model are all stressed by ACCA.
To achieve these goals, the ACCA advises finding import alternatives and reducing non-essential imports in a sustained manner. Reduced reliance on imported oil and gas can be achieved by promoting eco-friendly energy sources, implementing daylight savings time, and shortening business hours and working days.
The ACCA underlines the need to concentrate on services that make use of Pakistan’s plentiful raw materials and skilled young in order to increase exports. To ensure equitable tax policy, it is suggested that higher-income individuals shoulder more of the tax burden while middle- and lower-income groups receive subsidies for living expenses.
To increase the taxation base, ACCA demands making considerable improvements in the recordkeeping of the economy. The international organization suggests identifying people who are living beyond their reported means and firms that are making false tax filings by leveraging technology like artificial intelligence and data analytics to bring them into the tax net.
Reduced tax rates and streamlined compliance procedures are just two examples of structural reforms that can diminish the allure of tax evasion and boost the effectiveness of the taxation system. The ACCA suggests low tax rates for major agricultural landowners, with the money raised going towards supporting small farmers’ basic farming requirements.
To support economic recovery, the ACCA advises promoting regional manufacturing, mining, and industry while scrutinizing pricy energy sector deals. Investing in renewable energy initiatives, promoting the consumption of locally produced goods, and supporting entrepreneurship through the banking sector are all cited as crucial strategies. According to ACCA, supportive laws, tax advantages, and investments in high-skill training are necessary if Pakistan’s IT/ITeS industry is to reach its full potential. The ACCA also advises expanding the tax base by including professionals in the legal and tax systems, such as doctors, accountants, engineers, lawyers, and architects.
In addition, ACCA suggests that a venture capital fund be established to aid Pakistani start-ups, that solar panel subsidies be provided, and that the livestock industry be given priority in the future budget.
The Global Tenets of Taxing from the ACCA provide as a framework for building public confidence and an efficient taxing system. The accounting body stresses the value of openness, transparency, clarity, and simplicity in tax laws and procedures. By following these budget ideas, Pakistan can, in the opinion of ACCA, lay the road for long-term economic growth, address issues with unemployment, and establish itself as a regional powerhouse.

The Pakistan Business Council (PBC) has proposed that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) hike advance income tax on vehicles for non-filers. The proposal comes as the government is looking for ways to increase tax revenue.
Source: Dawn
Under the proposal, the advance income tax on vehicles for non-filers would be increased to 250,000/per year for owners of vehicles of 2000cc and above.
The advance income tax on the purchase of cars for non-filers would also be increased, as follows:
Engine capacity: 1800cc -2000cc
Existing tax: Rs600,000
Proposed increased tax: Rs2,000,000
Engine capacity: 2001cc-2500cc
Existing tax: Rs900,000
Proposed increased tax: Rs2,500,000
Engine capacity: 2501cc-3000cc
Existing tax: Rs1,200,000
Proposed increased tax: Rs3,000,000
Engine capacity: Above 3000cc
Existing tax: Rs1,500,000
Proposed increased tax: Rs 4,000,000
PBC proposal
The PBC has also proposed that the advance income tax on the sale of vehicles by non-filers be increased to 2,400,000. The PBC argues that these increases are necessary to bring more people into the tax net and to increase tax revenue.
Source: Tribune
The government has not yet announced whether it will implement the PBC’s proposal. However, the proposal has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed the proposal, saying that it is necessary to bring more people into the tax net. Others have criticized the proposal, saying that it will unfairly burden low- and middle-income earners.
The government is expected to make a decision on the PBC’s proposal in the coming weeks.
Impact of the Proposal
The impact of the proposal to hike advance income tax on vehicles for non-filers is difficult to predict. However, it is likely that the proposal will have a significant impact on the automotive industry in Pakistan.
The proposal is likely to lead to a decrease in the demand for new vehicles, as people will be reluctant to pay higher taxes. This could lead to job losses in the automotive industry, as well as a decrease in government revenue from the sale of vehicle registration certificates.
The proposal is also likely to lead to an increase in the number of people who register their vehicles under someone else’s name, in order to avoid paying the higher taxes. This could lead to an increase in the number of fraudulent vehicle registrations, as well as a decrease in the government’s ability to track the ownership of vehicles.
The proposal to hike advance income tax on vehicles for non-filers is a controversial one. It is likely to have a significant impact on the automotive industry in Pakistan, and it is unclear whether the benefits of the proposal will outweigh the costs.

Popular TikTok star, Hareem Shah, continues to talk negatively about Fayaz-ul-Hassan Chohan. The social media sensation who was once supposed to be quite close to him, has threatened to leak his indecent videos in case he doesn’t stop mentioning her online.
Shah picks the former provincial lawmaker as her third target after threatening Rana Sanaullah and Maulana Fazl ur Rehman. She labeled Chohan a traitor and threatened to reveal his truth to his family and the public in a video message shared on Twitter.
لوٹا فیاض الحسن چوہان ایک غلیظ گھٹیا آدمی ہے۔ اس کی اصلیت اس کی بیوی و گھر والوں کو میں بتاؤں گی ۔ جب یہ وزیر تھا تو مشہور " کال گرلز " کی خدمات حاصل کرتا تھا۔ عوام کا پیسہ ان کاموں پر لٹاتا تھا۔@Fayazchohanpkpic.twitter.com/5ZsldaKa7o
The TikToker claimed in the video that while in the past she always covered for Chohan, those days are over and she will come forward if the latter ever directly or indirectly names her. Before concluding the video, Shah warned the former PTI leader not to mess with her because she still has all the proof she needs to expose him in front of the world.
“Fayaz ul Hassan Chohan I have always kept information about you private and have never before made it known with the intention of revealing who you are to the outside world.”
“I did so because I never had intended to embarrass you and I never had wanted to open my lips about you intending to divulge your secrets in front of the world.” She added.
She also mentioned that it is between her and God how dirty of a person the politician is. Meanwhile, she also advised him to stay faithful to his wife and devote his life to his family.
If social media wasn’t enough Shah has come to the forefront of political controversies after threatening politicians one after the other. However, whether it is just wordplay or she actually has all those proofs, only time will tell!
The dollar has been going up and down ever since Pakistan started to suffer from the worst inflation in history. The dollar started going up from pkr 224 to 265 and as of today, it stands at 287. The highest the dollar has ever been is a whopping 295 pkr. That’s just crazy! But what if one day you wake up and see that the dollar has dropped? I mean, sure you’ll be happy but what happens when you see the dollar has dropped almost 100 rupees? You’ll be as shocked as Pakistanis were a day before. The dollar actually dropped to 186 pkr. Here have a look.

Glitch Or Hidden Reality?
Late on Tuesday night, Google Search experienced a technical glitch that displayed a notable decline in the value of the US dollar against the Pakistani rupee. The unexpected drop to Rs186.73 left individuals surprised and puzzled, particularly considering the absence of any recent significant recovery in the local currency. It was then identified that the significant drop in currency exchange rates happened because of a technical issue with the search engine on the website, leading to a sharp decline in rates.
On June 6, in the interbank market, the Pakistani rupee concluded at 286.56 against the US dollar, while it remained above Rs300 in the open market. Once the glitch was identified, it was promptly rectified, and the rates reverted back to Rs286.72 and the world came back to normal.

Paris Hilton, one of the leading trendsetters of the early 2000s, never missed an opportunity to be snapped by the paps with her trusty cell by her side, and even Avril Lavigne’s punk rock style paired well with the flashy phone. These days it’s all about smartphones, but now the iconic pink cell is finally making a comeback as the Motorola Razr+, which means you can live out your Y2K dream without compromising your touch screen and hi-def cameras.
It’s time to experience the old times
You better start pulling your old Juicy Couture tracksuits, low-rise jeans, and jelly sandals out of your closet now, because once you get your hands on the new version of the throwback phone, you’ll be in full Y2K mode. The Razr+, announced on June 1, is a reimagined version of the classic early 2000s accessory, this time as a foldable cell that flips open into a sleek smartphone with a touch screen. The outside features a usable screen and even has a front-facing camera that lets you take the perfect selfie without opening your phone and also allows you to position the device to be its own tripod. Now that’s a feature that Paris Hilton, the self-proclaimed inventor of the selfie, could get behind.
Plus, the new Razr comes packed with several games and offers plenty of home screen customization options like unique clock designs and panels that will help you prioritize your favorite apps.

If you didn’t know, the Razr was revived in some capacity back in 2019. At the time, the cell was only available in Noir Black, followed by the release of a Blush Gold option in 2020. But once the redesigned cell hits stores later this month, you can snag the phone in Infinite Black, Glacier Blue, and of course, the classic Viva Magenta colorway that you probably had (or begged your parents for) nearly 20 years ago. Be still, my beating Y2K heart.
When and where to order
The new device will be available for pre-order on June 16 via the Motorola website and through select carriers, and will officially be available in stores starting June 23. You can grab yours through AT&T, T-Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, Google Fi Wireless, Optimum Mobile, Best Buy, Amazon, or the Motorola website for a suggested retail price of $999.99.

They say everything comes back in style, and with the revival of Y2K vibes everywhere, it was only a matter of time before the beloved early 2000s electronic made its triumphant return. It’s hard to authentically pull off the style (low rise jeans can be divisive!), but as long as you’ve got a Razr in hand, you’re on your way.
So what are you waiting for? Start saving up your allowance now so you can be one of the first people to get your hands on the new Motorola Razr+. It’s the perfect phone for anyone who wants to relive their glory days of the early 2000s, or simply wants to add a touch of nostalgia to their everyday life.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the duties and taxes imposed on imported mobile phones. This action was much needed because of the continuously rising prices of mobile phones due to nationwide inflation. Normal phones now range from 50,000 to 80,000pkr and luxury phones start from 300,000 pkr and only go up. But fortunately, in the upcoming fiscal year 2023-24 (FY24), the government plans to introduce measures that would result in lower taxes for consumers.

Details About Taxes
According to FBR, the tax policy for mobile phone imports will undergo significant revisions in the upcoming budget. While the sales tax rate of 18 percent will stay the same, a 25 percent sales tax will be imposed on luxury items. The sales tax structure and withholding tax will not be affected. However, there are plans to further reduce customs and regulatory duties on imported mobile phones starting from July 1, 2023.
Earlier, on April 1, 2023, the regulatory duty on mobile phone imports was reduced by 50 percent. The recent withdrawal of FBR’s Statutory Regulatory Orders (SROs) only eliminated the increased rates of regulatory duties, while the original notification for these duties remains in effect. Currently, buyers are required to pay withholding tax and a fixed mobile levy when importing mobile phones. Additionally, the standard rate of sales tax has been increased from 17 to 18 percent for mobile phone imports.
Will this make things better for businesses and the general public? Let us know in the comments below.

According to a recent survey conducted by global consultancy Mercer, Karachi, and Islamabad have been recognized as two of the most cost-effective cities in the world for expatriates to live in. The survey, which assesses the cost of living, helps determine compensation packages for international employees based on various factors such as currency fluctuations, inflation, and accommodation expenses.

While these rankings bring good news for ex-pats, residents of Karachi and Islamabad have been experiencing rising inflation since the beginning of the year. This inflationary trend is a result of the government’s implementation of challenging fiscal measures, which were necessary to fulfill the requirements set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for accessing delayed funding.
Cheapest Cities In the World
Karachi
Islamabad
Havana (Cuba)
Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan)
Dushanbe (Tajikistan)
Windhoek (Namibia)
Ankara (Turkey)
Durban (South Africa)
Tunis (Tunisia)
Tashkent (Uzbekistan)
Expensive Cities In The World
On the other hand, the survey revealed that Hong Kong, Singapore, and Zurich are the top three most expensive cities globally. Additionally, several Swiss cities, including Geneva, Basel, and Bern, secured spots in the top 10. New York City, the most expensive city in the United States, ranked sixth worldwide. Tel Aviv claimed the eighth spot, making it the costliest city in the Middle East. Copenhagen and Nassau (Bahamas) rounded off the top 10.
Mercer’s report highlighted that factors like tough national monetary policies, global financial conditions, and high debt levels among many countries contribute to slower income growth and rising unemployment. These factors, coupled with inflation and exchange rate fluctuations, directly impact the earnings and savings of internationally mobile employees. This is precisely what is happening within Pakistan as of yet. But despite the cities being rated the most affordable in the world, the situation within for citizens is not so affordable.
