Netflix has announced the real-life version of Squid Games that they will be opening up soon. The streaming website has apparently gotten inspired by the Squid Games series that took the world by storm. Netflix has announced the biggest cash prize at the end of its alleged series too, want to read more?
Netflix recently announced that the reality show will consist of 456 players. All of them will participate in mind-boggling, horrifying, and also scary games and compete with each other. The cash prize at the end will be $4.56 million. However, what we’re interested in is whether or not players will be eliminated like they are in Squid Games.
So far, we think the eliminated players will simply be asked to leave the game. According to critics, this is the biggest cash prize ever announced for a reality series and the biggest cast also ever gathered. The game has also been called a “social experiment”.
Squid Games Season 2
This announcement comes just after Netflix announced season 2 of Squid Games. The popular Korean show that broke all records and also brought other Korean shows to popularity is being renewed. The director mentioned that they were more stressed this time around for the season as the first one has received so much love.

It might be possible that season 2 of the original Squid Games and the Netflix-inspired real Squid Games might be coming at the same time. The Challenge will be definitely attention-grabbing.
The Start of A New Era?
Such reality shows have not been encouraged before. There were those games in which people had to jump over balloons and work through water games. There’s the notorious Big Brother and its Indian version, Bigg Boss that have also enjoyed immense popularity. However, now that all is going to be changed forever with a show like this coming to reality
This will not be the last of its kind either as people will start getting inspired and creating new ones. Imagine a Pakistani Squid game— how funny could that get?
Internet Explorer reminds us of our childhood. How could an internet search engine do that? Well, this one was a little different. From its now seemingly endearing slowness to its look and optimization, it used to remind us of everything in our childhood. Now, the engine is retiring and it is making people on the internet sad. Read about that here:
Internet Explorer has always been the butt of jokes and is always the second priority to other browsers. Now Internet Explorer is bidding the world bye. Could it be because of the hate it always received or because of the natural path of the tech landscape? Microsoft has officially announced that it will be retiring its oldest browser today, June 15, after 27 years.

The company has released details that Microsoft will now be placing the future of its functionality on its other browser. Microsoft Edge has become the main browser now as Internet Explorer says goodbye.
Other Details
The company also added that Internet Explorer may not retire for many others. Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will officially retire and go out of support on June 15, 2022. However, this is only for “certain versions of Windows 10”.

The Internet Explorer was first released in 1995. It came as an add-on package for Windows 95 and was never the best search engine out there. However, it still got popularity in another way. It is being considered a milestone in the internet’s timeline.
Netizens Reactions
Have a look at what people said about the news. People had a field day with the news in good ways and even bad. Get an insight into them here:
Should be interesting since there are websites out there that won’t work on anything but Internet Explorer, guess companies will have to hurry up and get their websites compatible with Google Chrome’s engine which is used by pretty much everything these days https://t.co/cPOgZKVNqZ

Backed by the significant announcement by Silkbank Limited of an Expression of Interest from M/s. Park View Enclave (Pvt.) Limited (part of Vision Group) to inject Rs12 billion in the capital of the Bank and the subsequent approval of the Board of Directors to take the process forward, the Board of Directors, in their meeting held on June 8, 2022, announced the financial results of the Bank for the period ending December 31, 2020, declaring an after-tax loss of Rs6.57 billion.
The Bank attributes its posted losses due to various provisions taken against specific borrowers engaged primarily in the real estate businesses which were secured against mortgage of land. In December 2020, the Bank entered into an arrangement for disposal of the mortgaged land held by the Bank with Arif Habib Dolmen REIT Management Company.
The transaction was duly approved by the SBP. This development will substantially address the Bank’s NPL issue and result in major provision reversals. Moreover, another REIT consisting of Bank owned property will not only reduce non-earning assets of the Bank by Rs6 billion but is expected to record a capital gain of Rs6.1 billion approximately.
The Bank has already received approx. Rs2.6 billion as down payment against the said REIT structure.
The Bank has further entered into arrangements with major borrowers to ensure expeditious recovery of loans classified in 2020. The Bank expects most of these provisions to reverse within the next 12 – 24 months through the settlement and sale of mortgaged properties.
The bank’s flagship Retail and Consumer Portfolio continues to be amongst the top performing businesses in the industry. As a testament of the customer confidence reposed in the Bank, the growth was led by its Consumer Division, with Credit Cards and Personal Loan products registering a growth of 41% profit before taxes from Rs1.57 billion in 2019 to Rs2.23 billion in 2020.
The deposits of the Bank substantially increased by Rs11 billion as compared to December 2019, taking the total deposit base to Rs160 billion. Local currency Current Account grew by 26% while CASA deposits improved from 58% in December 2019 to 61% in December 2020. The bank’s Net Revenue also increased by Rs2.96 billion registering 61% growth while expenses declined by Rs638 million, decline of 8%.
It is pertinent to mention that post capitalization, the Bank is expected to fully comply with regulatory capital requirements. With the continuous support of SBP, the Bank hereby ensures to protect the interest of all stakeholders.

Planning a vacation has become more challenging than ever. Thanks in large part to the global inflation. While finding a hotel, flight or dinner reservation is only a quick Google search away. But travelling is still rarely a bargain. There are lots of ways to save money when you’re travelling, from planning your travel budget carefully before you leave, considering backpacking and car-sharing, through to the choices you make (e.g. food) when you are on your trip.
Meanwhile, digging a little deeper, you can find everything from cheap flights to low-cost lodging alternatives. Here are seven ways to travel on a budget without sacrificing the quality of your vacation amidst the rising inflation.
1. Book AirBnb’s
Accommodation during holidays is one of the most significant needs. While everyone likes the luxury of an expensive hotel, spending thousands for a night can become quite heavy on the pocket. Hence, leaving less room for you to explore and spend on your experiences. Opt for websites including Airbnb and Couchsurfing, where you book a spare room in a local person’s house or apartment. It will cut down the price and allow you an authentic snapshot of real life in the city. Consider your host your tour guide, filled with insider tips for the best eateries and tourist spots in that neighbourhood.

2. Pack Properly
Make sure you bring everything you need, so you don’t have to shop while you’re away (apart from a few souvenirs). No matter where you’re heading, take at least one pair of long jeans, a warm hoodie and a waterproof jacket for unpredictable weather incidents.

3. Public Transport FTW
Buses and trains are cheaper than planes. It’s that simple! A journey on an overnight train also means you have one less night in a hostel to pay for. For city travel, opt for local buses and subway options rather than uber and private transport to save extra bucks.
Travelling spontaneously is excellent if you have the luxury of time and money to spare. But if you’re travelling on a budget, the first thing to do is develop a plan. You don’t need a tight, hour-by-hour itinerary, but you should at least know how long you’ll be spending in each city or country and know the route that your epic adventure will take. Leaving less to chance means less unexpected spending; last-minute flights and accommodation are often far more expensive.

5. Stick To a Budget
While you might be tempted to hoard stuff at the local malls and stalls, spending too much will make things difficult for you in the long run. Allow a small sum of your money and set it aside for shopping, and once you have to spend it, do not revisit the mall. You don’t want to spend on useless stuff amidst the skyrocketing inflation.

6. Travel Out Of Season
Avoid trips during the school holidays. This is when the travel industry hikes prices to take advantage of families who can only travel during these weeks. Research the best time to visit your intended destination, and then travel just before or after these dates. This is called the ‘shoulder season’, where you’ll still have a great trip, but maybe the sun won’t shine quite as brightly (and, on the plus side, it won’t be quite as hot.) Hotels and airlines lower their prices to attract customers during this time.

7. Be Smart While Booking Your Flights
With inflation, the ticket prices have gone up considerably the amount. Midweek travel prices are lower as a premium is added to weekend flights, and you’ll breeze through shorter queues at airport check-in desks and security. Fly economy, too – no need to upgrade, no matter how nice Business Class looks. The money you save on cheap seats can be spent on food or accommodation when you arrive. Low-cost, budget airlines are fine for short flights and regularly have cheap deals.

This Eid season will bring a film to you that has comedy but isn’t directed by Nadeem Baig; has an excellent script but isn’t penned by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar; has actors playing characters but isn’t from the camp of Nabeel – Fizza; this film is 7 Din Mohabbat In.
It comes out as a feel-good film that might have a predictable plot, but it keeps the audience engaged through all the ingredients of a blockbuster.
His character literally goes from a zero to a hero; from a wannabe into a lady-killer. How he manages to do that is reserved only for those who will watch the film, however, I can tell you that for once, actors like Hrithik Roshan will wish they had done the role.
Sherry’s transformation from the slow guy next door to the man who saves damsels in distress for fun is the kind of character development we miss in our films.
As for his sidekick Danish Maqsood, he was too good in the capacity of Man Friday. Although he hasn’t been part of such a film before, he has the best lines in the film that will stick to your mind even after curtains.
The odd couple reminds you of the golden days of Pakistani cinema when Mohammad Ali and Lehri used to scout for girls with the latter getting hit; or when Waheed Murad and Rangeela used to play smart in front of ladies before their act was discovered.
The Girls – Neeli, Ghazala, Princess Sonu and Bijli
This Eid season, 7DMI brings to you not one or two but 3 leading ladies Neeli, Ghazala and Princess Sonu and an item girl played by transgender Rimal Ali.
All three have done a fabulous job and have stayed in their characters which is the plus point of the whole film.
Mahira looks the part of a girl in love while Amna steals the show as beauty with the brains; Mira doesn’t have many scenes but whenever she delivers a dialogue in her English Punjabi, it brings a smile on the audience’s face.
The Baddies – Kankatta and Amma
Aamir Qureshi’s Naseer Kankatta and Hina Dilpazeer’s Amma are the bad guys here because they don’t want two lovers to be together. Kankatta’s mannerisms will remind you of those bullies who have achieved nothing in life but always get things by force; Amma is one of those elderlies who are always angry for no reason.
Both of them are convincing in their characters although Hina Dilpazeer needs to get out her Momo phase for some time to deliver even better results.
As for Mustafa Qureshi’s son, it’s about time that people recognize his talent and start using him for his gift than for his surname. Adnan Shah Tipu also has a minor role in the film along with Beo Zafar who plays Princess Sonu’s relatives and while you can place the latter as a good person, the former was anything but that.
The Jinn – Dwarka Prasad from Delhi
Jawed Sheikh is the surprise package of the film as he gets to play a good-looking Jinn who appears like a devil and makes life hell for Tipu.
No one could have played the role better than the veteran actor who continues to grow stronger with the passage of time.
He had more than a dozen getups throughout the film and in each one of them, he seemed different with the sinister laugh being the constant factor.
He is the reason why the audience stays in the cinema because whenever he appears from nowhere, hell follows. Dwarka Prasad’s character outshines everyone in the film except for maybe Tipu and shows to the filmmakers of today that when casting in a powerful role, the veterans can raise the bar high.
The Writer – Fasih Bari Khan
Fasih Bari Khan may have written a film for the first time (not counting Jeewan Hathi) but he has had a vast experience of creating characters that are still alive after a long time.
He has used that very talent for making up interesting characters in 7DMI where you can relate to Kankatta who has one ear bitten and/or cut, or with Tingu Master who is short in height but tall when it comes to ideas.
The pop culture references, the dialogues, the screenplay and the climax prove that Fasih Bari Khan is on top of his game when given a free hand.
The Cinematography – Rana Kamran
Rana Kamran must get an award whenever one is coined for beautifying Karachi on the screen – be it Na Maloom Afraad, Actor In Law or 7DMI, he has done a tremendous job without disappointing once.
Be it the hotel at Beach Luxury, the top shot over Jahangir Kothari or the roads of the metropolis, he brings a magical touch that seems to wipe off the dirt away.
One must give credit to Beenish Umer for her Art Direction which complimented Rana Kamran’s work as well as that of other technicians.
The Directors – Meenu & Farjad
This is Meenu – Farjad’s third film together after Zinda Bhaag and Jeewan Hathi, however, it comes as a surprise considering they had shown a penchant for black comedy instead of the ‘white’ one.
Teaming up with Fasih Bari Khan, they manage to give a tale that has elements of Cinderella and Bedazzled the latter being the Hollywood classic featuring Elizabeth Hurley as the Devil. They have modernized the story, giving it the Karachi touch and packaging it in a way that you will not be able to resist it.
Karachi, 14.06.2022 – Audi in collaboration with SIEMENS today unveiled Pakistan’s first and only Ultra-Rapid DC Charging Station equipped with Siemens SICHARGE D series chargers with power up to 160kW in Karachi. “I am particularly pleased to be present today at the inauguration of this example of brand new German innovation. The future is electric – we are learning that more and more today in times of climate change and global warming. However, electro-based mobility also requires a corresponding infrastructure. I am pleased that another step in this direction is being taken here today”, said Germany’s Ambassador to Pakistan Hon Bernhard Schlagheck.
Speaking as the chief guest on the occasion, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, Advisor to CM Sindh for Law, Spokesperson for the Government and Administrator Karachi (KMC), commented: “Karachi must also become a metropolis geared towards the new world of transportation with electric vehicles, which will vastly improve emissions in our city by reducing exhaust fumes from fossile fuels. We need to build up an infrastructure of charging stations. Germany’s innovative technology can lead us in this direction. Let us plug-in Karachi into its electrical future!”
Audi is driving its transformation as a provider of sustainable premium mobility. The brand plans to ramp up its efforts by 2025 with a wide range of more than 20 fully electric models. The key to its success and the crux of this transformation is the availability of charging infrastructure. Together with LIBRA, this Ultra-Rapid DC Charging Hub is
the start of significantly expanding charging infrastructure in Pakistan. CEO of Premier Systems Syed Arshad Raza said, “As announced, 2020 marked the start of Audi in Pakistan’s major electric offensive. We successfully launched the e-tron model range and are already following that up with the next model, the dynamic and fascinating e-tron GT. We can proudly say that Audi is the number #1 brand of any car manufacturer in Pakistan leading this transformation. Audi is also making an important contribution to the urgently needed expansion of the charging infrastructure, and the LIBRA Charging Hub is the first step in achieving this goal.”
Commenting on the launch of LIBRA Charging Hub, CEO of Siemens Pakistan Mr. Markus Strohmeier said, “We need significantly more charging points in Pakistan to cater to the growing requirements of electric vehicles. For that reason, stakeholders including policymakers, investors and power utilities must continue their efforts in the coming years. Siemens SICHARGE D is a high-power charger using the latest technology designed to enable cities, businesses, and individuals to make the most of what Electric Vehicles have to offer now and, in the years, to come.”
“The LIBRA Charging Hub with Siemens’s Ultra-Rapid charger addresses future peak demands and the lack of charging opportunities in Karachi,” said Abdul Haseeb Khan, owner of LIBRA Charging Hub. Pakistan approved an ambitious National Electric Vehicles Policy, with targets and incentives aimed at seeing electric vehicles Capture 30% of all the passenger vehicle and heavy-duty truck sales by 2030, and 90% by 2040. It sets even
more ambitious goals for two- and three-wheelers and buses; 50% of new sales by 2030 and 90% by 2040. The world is now moving towards electric vehicles and Pakistan would follow suit. The technology will help cut the demand for oil and Pakistan could save about Rs 2 billion annually. In addition, pollution will reduce by up to 70 percent.
Islamabad – June 14, 2022: VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides mobile connectivity and services, announces today that the Group’s VEON Ventures division has completed a US$ 15 million Series A investment in Dastgyr, a Pakistan-based B2B e-commerce marketplace platform.
The deal is VEON Ventures’ largest investment in a Pakistani start-up and reflects the Group’s continued commitment to the region and the growth of the digital economy of Pakistan. The investment positions Dastgyr to take advantage of VEON’s global expertise and its operating company, Jazz’s distribution network, and digital payment solutions via JazzCash.
“Pakistan’s start-up ecosystem is at a critical juncture and only startups focused on addressing key challenges and adopting localized solutions will survive and thrive,” added Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz. “This investment highlights VEON’s commitment to scaling up Pakistan’s digital economy and provides Dastgyr with a platform to build synergies with Jazz’s subscriber base of around 75 million and with JazzCash, further integrating the startup into Pakistan’s fintech ecosystem.”
“As part of VEON’s transformation into a digital operator that delivers a growing range of services to our customers, we are investing in leading digital companies like Dastagyr in the countries where we operate. These investments are the building blocks of the digital ecosystem that will enable us to deliver on our strategy,” said Mohd Khairil Abdullah, CEO of VEON Ventures.
“Pakistan, with its rapidly growing digital sector, is a key market for VEON. By bringing together Dagstyr’s e-commerce business with Jazz’s communications network and JazzCash’s mobile payments platform, we will catalyse the growth in digital services in Pakistan. This would be further enhanced by the digital banking services that we have ambitions to provide.”
Dastgyr offers businesses a one-stop-shop application that connects thousands of retailers with suppliers to give them access to real-time visibility on pricing and financing rates.
“We are thrilled to achieve this milestone in the current global economic environment,” said Zohaib Ali, co-founder of Dastgyr. “We welcome the new investors to the Dastgyr family as we continue to work relentlessly toward our vision of building an AliBaba for emerging markets worldwide. We’re lucky to have found strategic partners who believe in our mission and have displayed unwavering faith in our team.
“Financial inclusion, which is central to the startup’s mission, will uplift and enable Pakistan’s small- and medium-sized retail entrepreneurs and unlock up to an additional US$ 10 billion for the country’s GDP, according to our estimates.”
Dastgyr will remain an independent entity, with a minority position being taken by VEON Ventures. The new investment will support Dastgyr’s expansion into 15 new regions of Pakistan, alongside its existing network in Karachi, Lahore, Sheikhupura, and Gujranwala.
Mahira Khan has a surprise for her fans in-store or rather in her heart? The actress has announced that she is taken, and the news has come out as a shock for many. While previous publications have claimed the actress to be engaged, this is the first time Mahira speaks of the fact herself.
Is Mahira Khan Engaged?
A die-hard Mahira Khan fan requested the actress to reject him so that he could move on. The actress’s response to the fan’s query was bittersweet and made us wonder if the rumours were true?
“Please move on! I’m taken.” The actress responded with an emoji.
The rumours of Mahira Khan’s engagement to Pakistani entrepreneur ‘Salim Karim’ has been doing rounds on social media for a few years. Initially, an Indian publication aired the news of the alleged couple, and it was reported that Salim got on his knee for the actress.
The media outlet that published the Raees actress’s engagement news claims that she and Salim were also at a party then. The couple was dancing together and engaged in PDA as well.
Fast forward to 2020, the actress sat down for an interview with none other than HSY. In a series of questions, the host mentioned the name Salim Karim and the actress hesitated and didn’t respond appropriately.
However, she mentioned that she looks for someone who’s at peace with himself. She also added that she finds those comfortable in their skin irrespective of gender.
Despite all the rumours and claims, the alleged beau of Mahira Khan is still under wrap. Is it Salim Karim or another mystery man is yet to be known. However, as confirmed by the actress herself, it seems like the two are very serious about each other.

Ms. Marvel is changing the landscape of Marvel shows and also of Muslim representation at once and it is doing that phenomenally. The new series has only one episode out right now and it is already breaking records and making headlines. Here’s everything you need to know about the series featuring Peechay Hutt too:
The new Marvel series, featuring Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, is doing much better than anticipated. The series is the first of its kind from Marvel featuring a Muslim superhero. With only one episode out, many are terming it as the best Marvel series out there.
The Results Speak For Themselves
People are not just ‘calling’ it the best Marvel series ever, it is also performing like one. It has become the most reviewed series created by the brand and all the reviews are stellar so far. So much so that it appears many have developed an agenda to downplay the series too. Ms. Marvel appears to be going through “review bombing” on rotten tomatoes.
You might be wondering what that means so let us break it down for you. It means that people are deliberately coming to the site and rating it poorly so the overall rating of the series falls. It’s not organic!
What Do People Have To Say?
The people are also speaking about the show in good words. Many people are inviting attention to how a superhero series like Ms. Marvel was much needed because young Muslim girls especially can relate to it so much. Others are speaking about how some iconic scenes from the Marvel universe can never be matched by something else but Ms. Marvel comes super close.
Have a look at what they had to say:

I cant speak for the Muslim/SouthAsian communities and their feelings on #MsMarvel but regardless, it still manages to be the best written pilot episode of a marvel disney+ show. It’s beautifully shot, visually energetic, and kept my attention the entire time.
There have always been these moments in our life where we just crash into our beds so exhausted and wish someone could just pay us to just relax. Well, our wish has finally come true, as absurd as it may sound; individuals can actually make a sizable amount of money by just lazing and relaxing that also in the comfort of their own home.
A luxury bed linen and homecare retailer company called ‘Secretline’ store is providing an opportunity to get paid by just relaxing, watching a TV show, and doing some effortless tasks. It is basically a research program through which the company will determine what tasks help the candidate relax the most and results in a good night’s sleep. “We know our pajamas and bedding sets are perfect for getting the best night’s sleep, but it’s so important to take time out in the evening (if you can!) to really switch off and help get you in the perfect relaxed state for bed. Hopefully, the findings of the research will help people do just that.”

The idea came into play as the world moves into a hybrid setting where the lines between work and home can be easily blurred. Hence the comfortability at home can directly lead to an increase in productivity at home. As a result, this research focuses on enhancing the environment at home and relaxing the brain so it can gear up for a long working day.
People from all over the world can apply for this position by just filling out a small form on this site. However, there is a rather simple criterion for who all can apply
Applicants must fit the below criteria:
Be 18 years or older
Have access to Love Island episodes (live or on catch-up)
Have access to YouTube or Spotify

Sunsilk has launched Sunsilk City, an immersive metaverse experience on the Roblox gaming platform, to attract female players to participate.
The launch of Sunsilk City aims to provide an accessible space for female gamers but also provide inspiration for young girls.
Sunsilk Expands Its Wings To Metaverse
The in-game host enlisted by Sunsilk is Mexico-based bio-pharmaceutical chemist and passionate gamer Jessica Lakshmi. Lakshmi’s avatar will act as a real-life role model to inspire women in Mexico and beyond. She will also feature in Sunsilk’s Mexican advertising campaign. The campaign will receive support with the help of a social and influencer programme.
Alongside real-life role models in gameplay, Sunsilk City’s mini-game Sidewalk Superstars encourages players to prioritize education over domestic chores. Another mini-game, Blow Them Away, lets players fight off toxic phrases typically used to put women down with the help of a virtual hair dryer.
The House of Hair mini-game drives a sense of creativity and artistic expression for players. At the same time, we are improving representation on the platform.
The brand Sunsilk is coming to ROBLOX! You can play games in Sunsilk city, customize your avatar, and learn something brand new & expand your knowledge in this game! The brand is excited to expand their presence. pic.twitter.com/iktFqmAPbK
Meanwhile, outside of the metaverse, Lakshmi uses social platforms to teach people about the practical implications of science and inspire more young girls to enter the STEM world.
“Nothing inspires me more than helping young women follow their true passions, and I am so excited to work with Sunsilk on this campaign,” said Lakshmi.
“I faced a lot of barriers as a woman entering the world of STEM. I’m hoping the campaign will help give girls the inspiration and resources they need to follow their dreams. I’m a gamer as well and have loved playing Sunsilk City.”
“Sunsilk is dedicated to helping women find the confidence they need to seek out new possibilities for their future,” said Purnima Lamba, Global Brand Vice President at Unilever, Sunsilk’s owner.
“With so many young women the world engaged in gaming and the widespread possibilities of the metaverse, we saw an incredible opportunity to reach a new generation in an engaging and authentic way.”

Mango may be the king of fruits and no one knows how to do them justice as Pakistanis do. However, it can get monotonous to keep eating mangoes as the ultimate dessert. A new and exciting way to enjoy the gift of summer is to use it with savory recipes. Here are some of the best ones you must try out:
Salsa is a snack essential. While many of us may always make it with the conventional ingredients like tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and cilantro, you can also set it up. Chop some mangoes and add them to the mix with a bit of lime juice. You have yourself a mango salsa that will be a killer addition to any chips!

2. Mango Chicken Skewers
We don’t know about you but mangoes taste incredible with any chicken dish. If you add mangoes to the marinade of chicken skewers, it’ll give it a beautiful tinge of sweetness. This sticky sweetness with the grilled flavor will be mind-blowing. Serve with steamed rice and you’ve got a meal!

3. Tacos With Mangoes
They rhyme! If tacos are a common thing made at your own home, it’s time to change their taste a bit. Next time you make your tacos, add a bit of mango inside for a burst of flavor. But do note that mangoes work best with simple, garlicky, and lemony flavors and also with chicken only. Chicken popcorn tacos with mango, anyone?
Image Source: Taste
4. Mango Savoury Salad
Fruits are also super underrated when it comes to salads. Most households make a salad every day for food so that’s another place you can try mangoes in a savory way. Toss tomatoes, carrots, onions, and bits of chicken in a salad marinade and add mangoes to the mix. Need an ultimate tip? Add peaches too!

5. Steak With Mango Chimichurri
This might be a brain-busting moment but stick with us, it’s so worth it! Next time you’re cooking up a storm with a steak and making the classic chimichurri with it, hold off on the regular ingredients. Instead, add mango to the chimichurri mixture and you’ll never forget the meal.
There is a new petrol scheme being introduced to help the people of Pakistan amidst the ongoing inflation. This new scheme gives a safety net in the form of allowance to a certain bracket of people. Read more about it here:
It has been announced that people with a household income of less than Rs40,000 will get a monthly stipend of Rs2,000. The new government subsidy scheme was announced on Saturday. It comes as part of the new efforts of the government to alleviate the struggles of many during skyrocketing inflation.

Finance Minister Miftah Ismail said in a press conference, “I urge people with household income below Rs40,000 to send us their computerized national identity card (CNIC) number.” You can text the number to ‘786’ to get the subsidy. The Benazir Income Support program is being followed here too. The details will be verified and the Rs2,000 monthly stipend will be granted.
The ‘Sasta’ Scheme
The new government has also launched the ‘sasta petrol sasta diesel scheme’ for 14 million households. This roughly translates to at least one-third of the population. Under this scheme, each household will be provided a monthly stipend of Rs2,000 which will cost the government Rs.28 billion.

“People whose poverty score is less than 37% will be given the stipend,” said Miftah Ismail. Moreover, women are also being especially looked after. Ismail urged women heading households to message on 786 to avail of the subsidy. The subsidies will start getting distributed from 1st July.
In addition to this, a “five percent discount on petrol to households with a monthly income of Rs40,000” will also be given. Other households with monthly income below Rs40,000 will get an eight percent discount.
The Impact of Fuel
Miftah Ismail also spoke at length about the address of the new government and how different it was from its predecessor. It was very well-received according to Ismail. He also acknowledged that the rising fuel prices are causing inflation.

However, he says that inflation would have further increased and the rupee could have further devalued if the government continued to provide the fuel subsidy. He said the rupee’s ability to climb against the dollar is a result of this.
Some people are just ignorant of the fact that kdramas exist and others are hugely against them as if their life depends on it. Yet, Squid Game was able to win over even those Pakistanis who had a vendetta against this drama industry. Imagine that even after weeks of the drama’s release, publications and blogs are seen covering it.
What if seeing this publicity, a Pakistani drama creator decides to make a Pakistani version of it? Wajahat Rauf maybe or Momina Duraid? Who do you think would be cast in it? Let’s have a look!
The character of Oh Il Nam was a father figure for Seung Gi Hun, so much that people were even speculating that he could be actually Gi Hun’s father. Considering Syed Mohammad Ahmed usually gets such roles, he could be a perfect fit for it. Moreover, given how Il Nam had an iconic twist to his character, the fact that Mr. Ahmed is a great actor, he would totally be able to pull it off.

2. Saheefa Jabbar for Kang Sae Byeok
Saheefa Jabbar’s hair can totally be styled to resemble Sae Byeok. Plus, Sae Byeok was probably the only character who had gradual and amazing character development. Giving it to Saheefa would be an amazing decision.

3. Usman Mukhtar as Hwang Jun Ho
The detective who sneaks into the gaming arena, Hwang Jun Ho requires someone of a stealthy nature. And who better than Aswad since he has the experience of stealthily walking out of a relationship with Mashal unscathed, kyunki me ne tm se kabhi pyaar mohabbat ki baat to nahi ki thi na, kabhi koi wada nahi kiya.

4. Mohsin Abbas as Cho Sang Woo
Mohsin Abbas retained his fan-following stature due to the support from the celebrity fraternity. But we are all witnesses to the drama he was involved in. Having him act as Cho Sang Woo who can stab people he is close to in the back would probably be the right fit.

5. Iqra Aziz As Ji Yeong
The character who was in the show for a very small time but won over all our hearts was Ji Yeong. She had no one left in the world so she happily sacrificed her life for Sae Byeok. The expressions and the way she delivered her dialogue with the tone that screamed, ‘she had given up’ is something the Ranjha Ranja Kardi actress can pull off in her sleep.

6. Sheheryar Munawar as the mysterious recruiter
To the ones who watched Squid Game as their first korean drama, this guy was only a cute mysterious recruiter. But to us, who thrive on Goblin, he was the reason we screamed when we saw him at the station. No one can match Gong Yoo whose expressions are enough to convey the entire storyline. But if we must think of who can play the character, then let’s go with Sheheryar Munawar.

7. Nayyar Ejaz as Deok Su
Deok Su, the gangster looked purely evil. Not everyone has the talent to pull of an evil role. Saleem Miraj can be considered but his physique does not go with Deok Su and we know how important that is for the time when Mi Nyeo takes him and jump. Hence, we need to look for talent and physique that resembles the character. Nayyar Ejaz it is then.
The annoying woman, Han Mi Nyeo was loud and could laugh and scream in the faces of betrayal and victory. As for Hania Aamir, she usually has had the roles of protagonists but she can fit the role because she is capable of dispensing these emotions. We have the evidence in the form of her projects Phir Wohi Mohabbat and Ana.

9. Imran Ashraf As Ali Abdul
The controversies that surround Ali Abdul are many. One of them would probably be the name and how it doesn’t make sense. Squid Game creators, Abdul is not a surname. Anyway, someone who looks innocent and is strong enough to not let Gi Hun die in the first game? It will be hands down, Imran Ashraf.
Image Source: Brandsynario
10. Feroze Khan As Front Man (In Ho)
Hwang Jun Ho’s brother, who he came in the arena to find, turns out it was the Front Man all along. Someone who looks cold enough to shoot his own brother but clever enough to do it on the shoulder so he can save him? Remember Ishqiya? The parallel between a villain and a lover? It has to be Feroze Khan.
Image Source: Brandsynario
11. And of course, Humayun Saeed as Gi Hun
Do we need to justify this? If Squid Game is made in Pakistan ever, it will be created by Humayun Saeed or Wajahat Rauf. And both of them will cast Humayun Saeed as player 456. Why? Because Humayun Saeed would still be playing the hero even 15 years down the line.

What do you think? Is this compilation good to go or will the creators need to brainstorm some more? Let us know in the comments below.

The MadeEasy QR code transports the consumer to the website for more creative dishes while the Hotlink establishes a direct connection between the customers and National Foods.

Recognizable icons are important and design assets are effective because they trigger recognition, meaning and memory,” said Aejaz Basrai, Chief Commercial Officer Culinary at National Foods.

The classical play will be presented from June 17th – 26th 2022 at Zia Mohiyeuddin Theatre, NAPA.
Romeo and Juliet is arguably the best work of Shakespeare, and one of the best plays of all time. People have seen it many times over the years, yet it always seems fresh and interesting. Karachi is ready to host its Urdu rendition at NAPA (National Academy of Performing Arts).
NAPA stages an Urdu rendition of a classical play every year, mostly some classic work of William Shakespeare or Sophocles’. NAPA has staged four plays by Shakespeare in the past. This year, they are presenting William Shakespeare’s classical play “Romeo and Juliet” from 17th June 2022 to 26th June 2022, at Zia Mohiyeuddin Theatre, NAPA.
This play is directed by Zia Mohiyeuddin and the cast of the play includes NAPA students and alumni. Zia Mohiyeuddin carefully handpicked all the artists for this play, there were some characters that he already had in mind. So, he just asked them to act in the play on his request, while, for other characters, he auditioned NAPA graduates.
NAPA has staged four plays by Shakespeare in the past. All the renditions were performed simply as Urdu translations of classic plays without taking their true essence out, and this year’s play would be the same staying true to its originality. Romeo and Juliet is an all-time classic and one of the most notable works of William Shakespeare, and it is translated into Urdu by Khalid Ahmed.
NAPA aims to provide quality entertainment to spectators of all age groups. Their marketing partner is Ishtehaari and the tickets are priced only at Rs. 1000, while student tickets are priced at Rs. 600. Romeo and Juliet is a famous work of Shakespeare, and in Zia Mohiyeuddin’s direction, it promises to deliver at its best.

The 7 requisites
Define your service and offering
Clients should be able to readily understand your talents and knowledge. The first step toward becoming a thriving freelancer is to transform your expertise into services. You must comprehend the client’s circumstance and apply your services to solve their problem.
Find you target audience
You are the most knowledgeable about your abilities. Once you’ve determined your strong suit/the industry in which you want to freelance, you can start looking for your target audience. This may be accomplished by using social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram to market and promote your expertise.
Develop a pricing structure
You must consider your rivals when determining how much you should charge your clientele. What do other freelancers in your profession charge? The goal is to maximise profit while avoiding overcharging, which may result in client loss. Clients often consider experience, urgency, and project complexity when determining payment, therefore you must consider the same criteria while billing.
Create a portfolio with past jobs
Developing a strong portfolio is an essential step toward being a prosperous freelancer. Clients should be aware of your experience in the sector before they can trust you. Your portfolio should include examples of your greatest work connected to your service offering.
Write a good proposal
A well-written proposal should be a powerful selling point for your skills. It should detail the corporation’s needs, how you can assist, and your achievements and capabilities. Finally, it is critical to stay polite and approachable, therefore strive to utilize professional terminology to aid you standing out.
Create a relationship with your client
Building a long-term relationship can result in recurring business and customer recommendations. It is critical to do your tasks correctly, effectively communicate with your clients, and develop trust via regularity.
Continue developing your skills over time
Continue to hone your talents over time. Learn from prior clients’ blunders and strive to outperform them in the future. Maintain a good reputation for yourself and enroll in programs that will help you improve your talents. That’s it! You’re ready to freelance.
Most sought-after occupations in the gig world
Design
Creative design is a very profitable sector of business. To be successful as a freelance designer, you will need a wide portfolio that can demonstrate to potential clients what sort of work you can do. This is a good freelancing option if you have an art degree/ have graduated as an interior/ textile designer. Even if you are still studying, clients can look at your work and determine when they want to hire you.
Writer
Writing remains one of the best gig-economy jobs. Companies have large expenditures for generating high-quality articles, blogs, manuals, press releases, and other sorts of editorial text now that content has been dubbed the monarch of modern marketing. Writing as a kind of blogging on social networking platforms has been shown to be popular, particularly among university students. If you are a student wanting to freelance, writing appears to be one of the most realistic possibilities, owing to all the essays we are required to complete during our time at university.

Marketing professional
Working as a freelance marketer might entail anything from running paid Facebook ads campaigns to completely redesigning the material on a website. A large and flourishing network of freelance marketing experts, strategists, and consultants exists. What is it that they all share in common? Digital abilities.
Videographer
To be a professional video producer, you must wow customers with your shooting and editing abilities. It will be much simpler to break into the market with a few years of job experience in this field, the correct software and equipment, and a great project portfolio.
However, years of videography experience are not required to be successful in the business. Check out @absoluteopia on Instagram, who is a student with little professional experience but is fantastic at filmmaking!
Although there are a plethora of websites offering freelance work, the popular ones include Linkedin, Freelancer, Fiverr, Upwork, Behance, SimplyHired, Guru, Dribbble, DesignHill etc.
