Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly’s marriage was making people suspicious for a long time now. However, it appears even getting closure is not enough for Pakistani people. The man-made an appearance at Dubai Expo 2020 and it was supposed to be a huge deal. But the crowd only had one thing on their mind: Sajal. Here’s what went down:

The Appearance

Ahad Raza Mir was one of the celebrities chosen to grace the Dubai Expo 2020. He has been in Dubai for a while now and what better way to meet the fans than at the Expo? These celebrity surprise appearances are always a sight for sore eyes because you see them step out and the crowd goes wild.

This time around, when Ahad Raza Mir stepped onto the stage and started addressing the crowd, things went a little sideways. People, out of the blue, simply started chanting Sajal. The entire humongous crowd of Expo started chanting Sajal and Mir had to accept defeat. He put down the mic for a while and just had an awkward smile on his face.

Thoughts On It?

People are not really in support of what the crowd did. They believe that no one knows the entire story of the couple, especially that of celebrity couples. So how can one go out of their way to make one embarrassed this way? We have to at least acknowledge that this must have been very embarrassing and also stressful for him. Had he acted in any little way to her name, that would have made news.

So, what did he do? He handled the situation with grace and continued addressing the crowd. Provided that the news also just came out, this was highly insensitive of the crowd. Not everything can be done in the name of fun!

Flashbacks of Something Else?

It appears our celebrity followers have some interest in doing this and it has especially been done with men both of the times. Remember when Asim Azhar and Hania were a thing? During that time after their breakup, people started chanting Hania’s name during one of his concerts.

It appears people genuinely do this to get a reaction out of the stars for a headline the next day.

Apple Might Bring A Subscription Service For iPhones – Here’s How

Apple has good news in store but we have a feeling it is only for the extremely rich people out there. The latest that we’re hearing of it is that Apple will be taking out iPhones on a subscription basis. Imagine subscribing to Apple’s iPhones services and just getting the box delivered to you every year. Does that sound like a utopia? Well, it’s about to get real. Here’s how:

The Latest News

It is rumored that Apple is reportedly working on selling iPhones and iPads as part of a hardware subscription service. This report came on Bloomberg first and the writer suggests that it could be happening in late 2022 or 2023. Moreover, according to the report, the monthly charge so far isn’t the price of the device divided by 12 or 24 months. It is going to be something else because this offer is somewhat still there.

Moreover, like Apple’s other existing subscriptions, this hardware subscription could be tied to a user’s existing Apple ID account. There is also the possibility of bundling in AppleCare or Apple One services as well.

Apple’s Existing Subscription Services

Apple so far has been pushing on its subscription services even before this rumor came about. Over the past few years, Apple has emphasized recurring subscriptions like Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus, Apple Fitness Plus, and Apple Arcade.

These subscriptions have become key new revenue streams for the company. If Apple gets to take out a whole bundle in which you get the iPhone and the services, all through subscription, imagine what it would cost though.

The Latest Mega Subscription

Apple has had something going on for the past couple of years that really appeals to people. It added a monthly subscription model for its AppleCare extended warranties back in 2019.

In addition to that, Apple also offered its iPhone Upgrade Program which basically allows customers to pay for the combined cost of AppleCare and an iPhone over 24 months. Alternatively, they could choose to trade in their device after 12 months of payments. This has been operational since 2015. People already think that this resembles the hardware subscription plan as it is.

Designer Lawn Dresses; A Facade Or A Need?

Designer Lawn Dresses; A Facade Or A Need? — Image Source: Instagram

Come spring season, and our calendars are marked with the launch campaigns of the latest designer lawn collections. The spring-summer/ mid-summer campaigns never leave us behind until it’s time to pack the dresses that never see the light of the day again. Because let’s be honest, who would like to wear last year’s designs when you have catalogues and campaigns brimming with new (who are we kidding? They are definitely repeated) designs every year.

Trip Down Memory Lane

My first memory of getting fascinated by designer lawn goes as far as 2010 when I was just a teenager and the trends weren’t taking a toll on us but sure were meaningful. I stumbled upon a brand catalogue filled with pictures of models posing in the middle of the dessert. Needless to say, I felt excited. Adorned with heavy jewellery and flowy dupattas, the lawn dresses felt like a breath of fresh air with minimalist designs and classic chunri and floral prints that could be recycled for the next five years. Of course, I couldn’t get my hands on the dresses, but to this day, I wonder, when did our love for lawn turn into this manic illusion created by society?

The Campaign Fiasco

Fast forward to this day, when the digital catalogues have replaced the print ones, I don’t feel as excited looking at them as I used to. Because as a Millennial, I would prefer to feel the essence of the lawn through catalogues. Or is it because the whole charm of adorning ourselves in lawn dresses have to turn into a whole facade of who gets their hand on the designs first.

Every year, as soon as the launch season starts, there comes a vicious cycle of trying to get your hands on the trendy pieces, then finding out that the only design you found different is out of stock. Sulking over the idea and then moving on to the next campaign; It gets nothing less than furious to survive the lawn season.

As soon as you promise yourself to not indulge in another suit, there comes the latest campaign with models who would do anything and everything (even risk their lives) to pose in lawn dresses. And you start daydreaming about how you would get the dress stitched only if you could get your hands on the designs in time.

Who Is Accountable For The Obsession?

Truth be told, campaigns should be held responsible. From making us change our minds to breaking endless promises with ourselves because what’s the fun in holding yourself accountable? 😉

Not to mention the prices, which are skyrocketing; thanks to limited edition designs. Once you own a designer lawn dress, you fall into a specific category which is another dilemma, a ‘Brand Conscious one, where the charm is uncanny but in the eyes of the society, it’s appalling.

To each, their own lawn experience is sure exhilarating, but now it has become exhausting. Thanks to the trends of stocking limited items and trying to make the campaigns out of the world, not figuratively (if you know, you know). Not to mention the quality of clothes going down the drain, making the price unjustified. But then again, the question is whether society would accept us if we didn’t own a designer lawn dress?

What are your thoughts about this? Let us know in the comments below.

“Since Khaby Lame is known for pointing out the obvious with the use of his signature hand gestures. We felt he was the perfect person to show the world Nitro Pepsi is a simple solution for those who prefer less carbonation than that of a traditional cola,” said Todd Kaplan, chief marketing officer at Pepsi, in a press statement.

Nitro Pepsi’s national expansion is further supported by TV ads airing around high-profile occasions like the Oscars and experiential activations. Starting March 25, the cola will be available on tap at the Sky Lounge of The High Roller Observation Wheel on the Vegas strip.

Khaby Lame’s Brand Portfolio

This is one of the many high profile brands that has enlisted the services of Khaby Lame recently. In October last year, he helped Mark Zuckerberg show people how easy to jump around in the metaverse. Meanwhile, early this year, Lame signed a multi-year deal with the iconic fashion line Hugo Boss.

Burger King Introduces The Worst Type Of Ice Cream & You’ll Be Shocked

Burger King’s food campaigns have always been eccentric and attention-grabbing but this tops all. The fast-food chain has introduced a new range of completely clean icecreams but the way they’re marketing it is exactly the opposite. Are you interested in learning about poopy ice cream? Read about it here:

The Latest Announcement

Burger King very recently announced that it will be bringing desserts that will be 100% free of artificial ingredients. However, they can’t just go ahead and promote it like that— it wouldn’t be disgusting enough for their brand. So, what they’re doing is that they’re introducing the ‘poopy ice cream’ to you which is the chocolate ice cream of course. This is giving us flashbacks of the Moldy Whopper days and trust us, you wouldn’t want to go back.

The Idea Behind

One would question: if you want your customers to eat something, why make them nauseous with it first? The answer is that with April Fool’s day coming around the corner, this campaign can get a good twist. The fast-food chain wants people to know that their food is completely free of artificial ingredients in a fun way.

The agency of Burger King that handles this suggested that the purpose was to do the very same as they did with Moldy Whopper. It is essentially creating a powerful visual to make people think about their food. What are people themselves consuming and is it the same or worse than Burger King’s.

This launch is a part of Burger King’s promise to remove 100% of all artificial ingredients from its food by 2025.

The Poopy Icecream Response

The marketing director added that they wanted to use humor to show that no matter what Burger King’s food looks like, it is still the cleanest. Gag reflexes were triggered for the purpose of attention. Many people have been infatuated with the poopy ice cream and so far, the demand seems to be soaring. This kind of thinking is also so attractive to kids— they love toilet humor.

In conclusion, Burger King has taught us that it is better to look like poop on the outside than to be a poop with chemicals on the inside.

More About The Campaign

People also can not help but appreciate Nike’s Japanese brand manager, Shun Hosoi. He posted a video of the ad to LinkedIn the same day with the following post: “I’m thrilled to announce that we launched first-time-ever 3D OOH campaign to celebrate AirMax Day on 3.26. We are taking over the whole building of Cross Shinjuku from 3.21-3.27!!

What makes your life valuable? Is it loads of money or a huge house? Material things come and go but family is something a person cherishes the most. Being a social animal, a person cannot survive without socializing and family is the biggest hub where you spend quality time the most. Women are the ones who play the most important role here, they bind and unite the family, provide safe heaven to the members. Whether she is a daughter, wife, mother, or sister, this gender contributes its biggest part in making a home.

Talk about occasions, for instance: Eid. This is considered to be the most rewarding and joyful of all, the day full of festivities, Eidi, and of course food. Have you ever thought about how females of the family are on a full-day duty of cooking flavorsome meals for the family and guests but they do not get enough appreciation? Cooking is not something related to a specific gender, try to take charge on some of the occasions and give more space to all the ladies in the house. Start with the easiest and the real MVP of Eid, Sheer Khurma which is the easiest dessert to make and is loved by everyone.

Are you a Pakistani planning a foreign trip for vacation? Well, then you definitely did not visit these spectacular places in Pakistan before or they would have been at the top of your list. Before you head abroad and spend loads of money, have a look at the list of some unbelievably exotic Pakistani tourist spots, that are breathtakingly gorgeous and very light on the pockets too! We believe these spots are definitely one of a kind.

1. Lake Saif ul Mulook

‘A perfect personification of beauty’, Lake Saif ul Mulook is located in the north-east of the Mansehra district and is approximately 3244 meters above sea level.

It tops the list because of its ultimate beauty throughout the years and almost all of us have visited it at least once. The best hotel to book near the lake is PTDC Naran.

2. Kalash Valley

Based in the Chitral District, this heavenly valley is home to the Kalasha tribe. You will find homes built on hill tops. As much as the valley is popular for its scenic beauty, the Kalasha people are known for their colorful culture.

If you’re looking for a good yet economical hotel in Kalash valley, Terich Mir View Hotel, and Hindukush heights are your best choice.

3. Shandur Top

Commonly known as the ‘Roof of the world’, Shandur top is a flat plateau located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is covered in snow most times of the year but becomes lush green in summers.

If you are a sports fan, attend the famous Shandur Polo festival. You may choose to book your room at PTDC Mastuj, which is 1.5 hour drive away from the top, or PTDC Chitral.

Water is a fundamental human right and there is a need to focus on clean water provision to every national of Pakistan. PepsiCo, in collaboration with WaterAid, is working towards improving the access to clean water to underserved urban communities in Pakistan. This ongoing partnership is expected to provide communities, healthcare facilities, and schools with sustainable access to clean drinking water.

Increasing access to safe water for vulnerable individuals is one of the most urgent challenges the world faces. Many societies have compromised water supplies that have contaminated water sources. Pak Colony in Karachi is an example of an area with scarce access to clean water. PepsiCo Pakistan, in collaboration with Water Aid and funding from PepsiCo Foundation has installed a water filtration plant at Pak Colony. The plant provides access to safe water to 100,000 citizens which include three educational institutions in the vicinity.

PepsiCo Pakistan’s safe water program has enabled clean water for over 200,000 people in the urban underserved areas of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. PepsiCo plans to continue to expand this program into rural areas.

PepsiCo’s water strategy is designed to enable long-term, sustainable water security for its business and for local communities that depend on an accessible and reliable supply of clean, safe water. Through partnerships funded by The PepsiCo Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm, PepsiCo since 2006 has helped more than 55 million people gain access to safe water through distribution, purification, and conservation programs, far surpassing the company’s original target to help 25 million people by 2025. PepsiCo has set an ambitious new target to expand safe water access to 100 million people by 2030 with an immediate-term focus on supporting water distribution, sanitation, and hygiene practices.

Watch the video below that showcases the impact of the filtration plant on the lives of community members living around it.

United Motors is planning to discontinue the 800cc Bravo and 1000cc Alpha hatchbacks. It is rumored that the company will shift back its focus on 2- and 3-wheeler production, thus wrapping up its operations of the 4-wheeler business.

Bravo Takes Over Mehran

The Bravo was launched in September 2018 as an alternative to Suzuki Mehran. However, the car couldn’t become a success as much as it was anticipated due to its build quality issues and limited nationwide network.

According to the sources, United was not satisfied with the quality standards of Dahe, the principal responsible for producing the DH350s, due to which there has been no supply of the CKD kits for a long time. Despite, United has been increasing the price of Bravo in regular intervals despite no new kits being imported.

Company Setbacks

Meanwhile, the company cannot get rid of the stocks it already has. The company was also supposed to launch Punjnad commercial pickup. However, the move never materialized, and the launch of an automatic variant of Bravo that was coming out in 2020 was also ceased.

In January 2021, United launched the 1000cc Alpha hatchback, which was initially a first-gen Chery QQ facelift. While that was discontinued in China several years ago, sources say, United’s move to approach Chery was also because it was dissatisfied with Dahe regarding the quality issues of the Bravo hatchback.

The Truth About The Closure

“This is nothing but a false and baseless rumor. United Motors is not at all shutting down its operations. The company is going stronger than ever. We are selling both our car models, Bravo and Alpha, and delivering the cars within a week.” says company officials.

Meanwhile, the dealer’s statement regarding the rumors seems to be true. As they mentioned, no restocks of the car shortly.

“We have under 50 units of United Bravo and Alpha. Once we sell these, there won’t be any restocks. The cars will be discontinued in the market.”

United’s biggest dealership in Lahore, called United Bedian Motors, has also been converted into Prince Bedian Motors. Confirming the darker clouds on the future of United cars in Pakistan.

Bank Alfalah Is Winning Hearts With Their Latest Initiative For The Differently-Abled

Bank Alfalah is one of the most popular and trustworthy banks in the country. The bank hasn’t reached this level of popularity for no reason. They have consistently stayed ahead of the curve not only in their services but also in their corporate social responsibility. Find out what the bank is up to recently and why it is winning hearts.

The Latest Ad

The latest ad by Bank Alfalah is definitely going to attract customers. The bank posted a clip about the latest services they offer for those who are differently-abled. In a brilliant stroke, the ad also features someone who is speaking to us in sign language and there is a voiceover to support them.

Kudos to Bank Alfalah for taking this initiative and being the leader in the field. Have a look at the video here:

What Are They Offering?

The latest services offer ease and comfort for those who are not typically abled. This includes the ability to open accounts or do account-related work without coming to branches. In case they do have to come to the branch, there will be separate counters for them. In addition to that, there will also be different card services offered to them through which taking cash out will also be made easier.

All these initiatives have been implemented to make banking easier for differently-abled people. The way one is or is born should never hold them back from doing the needful.

Why Is This So Important?

It was high time banks and other institutions actively start including differently-abled people in their policies. In Pakistan, the culture of this kind of people being dependent on others entirely is rampant. This is because the world outside is only made for the neuro-typical and typically abled people only. With the change Alfalah bank is bringing, one can be optimistic.

It is important to note that we can only progress by making such everyday general services easier and more convenient for everyone. These inclusive measures will encourage the country to stand behind everybody and uplift each other as a whole. If we can’t look out for our own, who will?

Amna Babar, the talented supermodel of Pakistan, has recently opened up about something she herself has experienced. The model was answering QnA session questions with her followers when someone asked her a personal question. She did not shy away from talking about it and that’s so important!

What Happened?

The model and actress were asked on her main account why she no longer posts pictures with her husband. Instead of going off on the person who asked her this question, she gave the most dignified and respectful answer!

Babar shared well that is because “he’s not my husband anymore.” The model added to it saying, “We just got divorced but we are jointly caring for our child.” What particularly stood out to us was how she respectfully shared that her ex-husband was indeed a “great dad” but things just did not work out for them together. Have a look at her response:

Why This Is So Important

Divorce is so heavily stigmatized in our country and it places the burden on one set of shoulders only. People choose to end their marriage when it is hurting their mental health and it is simply bringing them down rather than being their safe space. What all is wrong with that? In our culture, women especially are encouraged to stay in marriages that are incompatible even if that means that their mental health is at risk.

Amna Babar knew when to leave and placed herself first. There should be nothing wrong with that! Moreover, this was also so important to show people that you can end a marriage but still respect the person for another role they embody. She still finds her ex-husband an excellent father. They now jointly care for their child!

What Are People Saying?

Surprisingly enough, netizens are being kind to Babar. They are sending her love and prayers for taking this difficult step. It is a huge change nonetheless in one’s life and can never be easy. While many are showing her support, of course, there are those who also undermine other women’s strength.

There’s no such thing as divorce being a big thing for some and not being so for others. Let’s be kind to each other and thank those who are paving the way for healthy conversations.
