Is This Really Shocking?

Very recently, another picture blew the cover of these rumourmongers. At Eid Milad-un-Nabi, pictures of the Khan clan made their way to social media. Humaima Malik was seen posing and dressed-up with both her sisters-in-law and so many were shocked! They had believed Alizey Khan was no longer a member of their family but there she was!

Karachi – January 19, 2022: Beaconhouse, the country’s largest network of private educational institutions, successfully hosted its third Learner Agency Paradigm (LAP) Conference, at Beaconhouse’s Defence Campus in the south region, Karachi. This LAP Conference 2022 was attended by Beaconhouse School System’s (BSS) learners, teachers and employees and is the third installment from its series of conferences that were introduced early last year.

The LAP Conference 2022 was held to cultivate learner agency – a concept gaining momentum in educational institutions as a way of fostering learners’ abilities to navigate their way through life in a positive manner, creating a significant impact on their circumstances. A total of 165 project submissions were received nationwide out of which 10 learner projects were showcased in the Karachi conference. The projects focused on various initiatives undertaken by students to become active contributors to their surroundings.

The session also included a virtual address from Kasim Kasuri, Chief Executive Officer, Beaconhouse, who stated during the event, “Learner Agency has quickly become an important aspect of the education being imparted at Beaconhouse campuses nationwide. The concept gives students responsibility over their own learning, empowering them to develop a voice and take purpose-driven initiatives. There is no shortage of students wanting to take charge and bring a change around them, and as an educator I am proud to see them taking ownership through these LAP conferences.”

Among the 10 projects, the ‘Taleem Sub Ka Bunyadi Haq’ initiative was undertaken by BSS students in Quetta to raise awareness and support teaching programmes for girls in Balochistan in order to tackle low literacy rates for women. Under the project ‘Charagh-e-Ilm’, students were inspired to give back to society as active learners and participators, by developing a comprehensive and high quality education programme aimed to increase the knowledge base of BSS support staff in schools.

‘The Battle of Multiple Intelligence’ project presented by middle school students introduced a ground-breaking competition between campuses targeting multiple intelligence levels of learners such as their visual, research, analytical, creative, critical, and digital skills. Other project themes included science, literature, fitness and health, entrepreneurship, cyber currency, and Covid-19 challenges.

The LAP conferences are an effort by BSS to empower students, ensuring that learners are equipped with the right skills to address challenging circumstances, and prepare them to meaningfully influence their world as global citizens and future leaders. The Beaconhouse School System has a legacy of 46 years of educational expertise and currently has over 315,000 students.

Will Her PhD Cook Your Biryani? Twitter Thread Sparks Debate

Someone on Twitter shared the most hilarious and hard-hitting tweet that has us contemplating our life and culture. People are not that stoked about it while the tweet may be simply spitting facts. Here’s why you need to know about it today:

The triggering tweet

A man named Ahsan Irfan made a tweet that has gone viral. The tweet captures our culture at the moment as women, who are breaking all sorts of barriers at the moment, continue to face ancient expectations. Today’s the day and age where women are pursuing their studies with a passion and breaking the glass ceiling.

Biryani has taken the backseat. That is precisely what Ahsan Irfan wanted to say, have a look at the tweet:

Triggering Biryani Lovers

There are people who have a sense of humour and then there are people who love biryani to the extent that they don’t have a sense of humour. It appears the latter stormed to this tweet before and started lecturing the tweeter on his thoughts.

This person thinks not making a biryani has ruined family systems. Also, that, not making biryani and having an education, can result in paid intimacy. Someone call NASA because we’ve just witnessed the greatest leap in humanity’s history.

This person did not want to address the biryani issue. They simply think PhD’s take you away from your religion and spirituality. God help those who did a PhD in religious studies!

This guy right here thinks education and beauty have a direct relationship. But we’re wondering, when did anyone ever say “damn she looks so gorgeous making biryani”? That sounds psychopathic for sure.

The Freedom Fighters

You might not be surprised that all those tweets were made by men. However, you might be surprised by just how amazing some responses were by those who wanted to counter the naysayers. Have a look at what they said:

People Are Sharing Their Most Controversial Food Opinions & It Is Insane

food opinions

Food opinions are like a minefield: you never know where a war can start or what can be wrong. That is why people usually keep their controversial food opinions to themselves. However, when Uber facts asks… you have to let go.

Pineapple on Pizza

A debate as old as time with no solution in sight. Pineapple tastes great on pizza. Those who disagree are either afraid of adventure or have dead tastebuds. We said what we said!

Food Phobias?! 

We never knew food phobias were a thing but there is a first time for everything. People are out here having phobias of tuna. Hey, if everyone had this phobia, the seas would be in a better place.

Ketchup and Pancakes

This is where we turn our heads away. Disrespect, sheer disrespect.

No Raisins Please

Thank God someone said it. Please keep raisins where they belong (which is only inside the cupboard). On another note, can we please stop adding raisins to bread pudding?

No Sandwich Without Cheese

This person has their priorities laid out straight. Can’t say we disagree! Who here gets cheese added to their subways?

Pepperoni Pizza

This person is asking for it and dying for it. There is no topping as good on pizza as some crispy Pepperonis. May God guide this person to the pepperoni path.

Mayonnaise

That’s just plain sad. Mayonnaise is like the foundation of all sauces. Maybe they’ve been having bad mayonnaise. Try Hellman’s/Best Foods or Heinz. If you can’t change your mind, you need to literally change your mind.

Mashed Potatoes

We never knew there was this much hatred in the world. How can anyone hate on mashed potatoes, the most innocent and cutest dish in the world? It just needs love and we are glad to be giving it.

Hummus Is Elite

From this person’s tweet you can tell straight up they haven’t had it. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Hummus is amazing and should be treated like that.

Ketchup and Roti

Finally something we agree with. Ketchup and roti need to be kept on the other side of the kitchen. Desis should feel disrespect at that. 

Peanut Butter

Ban this guy from twitter, not Peanut butter. Peanut butter and jelly is the best pick-me-up sandwich and nothing can change that. Plus, add it in any smoothie or shake and we can have a party.

Robbery On The Rise – Why Do Karachiites Always Suffer?

Patriotic we are, but when it comes to judging cities separately, there is always that fight of whose biryani is better. While we Karachiites do win the biryani battle, we almost always lose when it comes to discussing security. In the past few years, Karachi was rampant with robberies. Sometime later, they just faded away. However, now the conditions have worsened and robberies are on the rise once again.

Karachi & some facts

Well, not facts, but we know that Karachi is the economic hub of Pakistan. No matter how developed Islamabad and Lahore become, most commercial activities still take place in the old capital. The ratio is so huge that the older generation is heard comparing revenue gathered from Karachi with the entire country. If you are a Karachiite, you would have definitely heard your uncle at a gathering, saying, “Lalukhet tax is more than the whole of Punjab.”

But let’s look at some facts too:

https://www.facebook.com/Brandsynario/videos/477726956635874

The reason

When we posted an article yesterday about the routes that have witnessed the most robberies in Karachi in the past few days, some people shared their opinions. One of those opinions was that more than avoiding the routes altogether, we should discuss the why behind these crimes.

Now, there can be numerous why’s.

  1. It can be that there is unemployment
  2. COVID has not fared in favor of Karachi
  3. It can be that our living continues to be expensive and unaffordable.
  4. It can also be that Karachi still lacks when it comes to law enforcement.

Read More: Pakistan Emerges As The Fourth Most Expensive Country In The World

Basically, there are many reasons one can attribute to the increasing crimes in Karachi. Bit it does lead to Karachiites asking one question. Other cities have witnessed better utility services. Their water and electricity problems have been resolved to great extent. Their sewerage system is getting better and better. So, we ask this one question; was the absence of the basic utilities not enough that the security issues for our lives and property will also be rampant?

Hopefully, someone will come across our cries and do something worthwhile for the city. It will be then only that the Karachiites can also walk on the streets easily with their phones out; not worried when a bike with two men will come out with guns ready and rob the phones off of them.

This Maggi Sandwich Is Gaining Quite Some Attention – Would You Try It?

By

Maggi has, unfortunately, become that food item that is experimented with the most. Most of these experiments are harmful to eyesight. They have the ability to traumatise you for life and also give you food aversion from Maggi. Now, there’s a new Maggi food experiment out there and it’s killing us. Here’s why:

The Latest Maggi Experiment

Someone in Mumbai decided to ruin Maggi for the world. They made a Maggi grilled cheese sandwich and made it go viral on social media! The sandwich has cheese stuffed inside it and also some Maggi. The toasted sandwich is also laden with Maggi on top. It’s just a jungle of Maggi and has cheese and toast in it also.

As the picture also shows, the Maggi is dry! Now that is clearly an abomination. Maggi maybe had a little dry or soupier but we have it nonetheless with its soup! Why would you take the Maggi out of the soup entirely? It’s unfair and uncalled for.

The Dish

It’s Very Common

Apparently, it’s a proper thing in India! People make Maggi grilled sandwiches regularly and with a whole lot of love. As you can see here, if you search ‘Maggi grilled sandwich’ you’ll get more than 10 recipes people have lovingly put together. We may have different tastes from our friends across the border but this is unacceptable.

The recipes call for straining the Maggi noodles. Again, why discriminate against the soup?

Should Maggi Be Had As It Is?

Maggi is the instant noodle snack kids of the subcontinent have grown up having. It’s been there for us when our parents or friends could not. It’s the ultimate comfort food. So in this case, should we disrespect Maggi and use it like this? The answer is simply no!

Maggi noodles can be used in a Singaporean dish with noodles and rice. However, what is really rude is straining the noodles and stuffing them in sandwiches. However, if it really is something that makes people happy, what can we say? After all, this is much better than mixing chocolate with noodles!

Standard Chartered Survey: 92% Of Affluent In Pakistan Can’t Meet Life-Goals Due To ‘Confidence Gap’

By
Web Desk
-

Standard Chartered’s latest survey into affluent (comprising emerging affluent, affluent and high net worth) consumers in 12 markets across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and UK, revealed that in Pakistan 92 per cent of them have reset their life goals following the pandemic. At the same time, for 50 per cent of the respondents, COVID-19 has diminished their confidence in their finances, preventing them from taking the actions necessary to achieve their new goals.

COVID-19 has prompted the affluent in Pakistan to become more future-focused when resetting their priorities: half (49 per cent) of people have set the goal to ‘to improve my health’, followed by 40 per cent of people setting the goal of setting aside more for their children’s future (education or financial support).

To meet these new goals, the affluent need new strategies to grow their wealth, which often involves more proactive investment rather than just saving cash. However, their current ‘confidence gap’ has made many increasingly averse to risk, potentially stopping them from putting their money to work, through investing or making use of digital tools that simplify wealth management.

The ‘confidence gap’ is greater for the emerging affluent
The emerging affluent have disproportionately suffered a loss of confidence, with almost half (47 per cent) reporting less confidence compared with 30 per cent of high net-worth (HNW) individuals. That means those lower down the wealth spectrum, still establishing their finances, stand to lose out more if they do not have the support to rebuild their confidence.

For the affluent across the wealth spectrum in Pakistan, the three most common factors impacting their confidence were ‘volatility in financial markets’ (35 per cent), ‘fear of poor returns on investments’ (29 per cent) and ‘lack of time to devote to planning and research’ (25 per cent).

Retirement is at risk
A late start to retirement planning, combined with the pandemic-induced confidence gap, leaves a significant proportion of affluent consumers at risk of a shortfall for their retirement. The survey found that 44 per cent of people do not currently save/invest for retirement. For those that do, ‘investment income’ (43 per cent) and ‘cash savings / deposits’ (42 per cent) are the most common expected sources of income in retirement. At the same time, 46 per cent plan to retire before the age of 65 and 13 per cent have set a new financial goal of retiring early. This shows a disconnect between current actions and future expectations, if a confidence gap is holding them back from investing.

A pro-active approach can help the affluent regain control
Globally, almost all (94 per cent) of investors who had tried more than five new investments or investment strategies reported being happy with their finances. Whether it is diversifying into new asset classes, new investment strategies to rebalance their portfolios, or exploring sustainable investing, the survey revealed that more hands-on investors are happier with their finances.

In Pakistan, almost all (94 per cent) of those who have made five or more changes to their portfolios, following the pandemic, are happy with their investment portfolio.

Zaigham Sherrif, General Manager Personal Segment, Standard Chartered Bank Pakistan said “The study shows that Adapting to their post pandemic needs, ‘44% of people are setting aside more money for the future, while 38% are now researching new financial products and 32% are now setting ‘new targets for performance / value of any investments’. Rethinking their priorities, 36% of the people want to make their finances more future proof and secured now, as per the market volatility and low interest rates.”

Hence, cash savings have become insufficient to meet the growing financial needs over longer life spans. The affluent people must make long term investments, with a global bank like Standard Chartered, as we have all the resources and expertise to empower our customers to build diversified portfolios of investments and to enjoy a comfortable retirement, with many lucrative opportunities.” He added.

Zaigham further said: “Digital Banking and investments on the go can now help them save for unforeseen events and top priorities like children’s education, as the consumers seek complementary sources of returns, with an increased inclination towards a healthier lifestyle.”

Minal Khan and Ahsan Mohsin Ikram are in hot waters again for showing a PDA-packed picture. However, this time, the picture is not from a birthday celebration but at the Kartarpur Corridor. Meanwhile, netizens are coming with all their might at the couple for shamelessly posing in front of a religious location and hurting Hindu sentiments.

Minal and Ahsan’s Post On Social Media 

Minal and Ahsan are known for their public display of affection. The couple has been spotted on multiple occasions long before their wedding; embracing each other in arms. The recipe for disaster in our society, PDA made the public repulsive to the couple and every time they were caught hanging out, netizens made sure to criticise the couple.

In today’s episode, the couple is once again under the netizens radar for posting an intimate picture together. And if that was not enough the picture is taken in front of the Kartarpur border, the religious Gurdwara Darbar Sahib of the Hindu community. Sounds like an absolute nightmare? Seems like the couple doesn’t give two hints about anything and anyone at this point for they have been enjoying their life too much to care about the public’s reaction.

Here’s How Artist Royalties Are Coming To The Pakistani Entertainment Industry

Senator Faisal Javed Khan has just touched upon something in the Senate which has given artists of Pakistan a sigh of relief. The senator is hard at work to modernise or rather, ensure the entertainment industry is up-to-date with the years. Here’s why you really need to know what he just proposed:

What Bill Is Being Worked On?

Faisal Javed is attempting to introduce a bill that will give Pakistani artists and creatives the right to get what is theirs. He is repairing the Copyright Act, 1962 so that it empowers artists with the rights to demand royalties. This is worthy of consideration as until now, artists did not have the right to demand royalties.

However, before this bill is first, something else has to be passed. He proposed a resolution in December and it has to be passed by Senate first without opposition. Khan believes this is not a cause of concern, it can get passed unanimously. The resolution is a part of the Senate’s January 17 agenda.

Issues of Royalties

The issue of royalties has been a huge obstacle in the Pakistani entertainment industry. Royalties are the rightful payment to artists for their artistic work. As a result, Pakistani artists were suffering even though their artistic work was popularly enjoyed. Thus, in 2022, the least the government can do is safeguard artists. The film policy is also stuck at the bureaucratic level.

“Actors are given royalties worldwide. If we don’t change the working environment of our artists, or change the way they live, then we will have killed creativity ourselves,” Senator Khan added.

What Is Wrong With The Current Act?

According to Khan, the Copyright Act is “redundant and outdated.” The Copyright Act has key sections pertaining to licensing and royalties but they are not productive.

The solution for Khan lies in defining artists better and their assignment of work needs to be expanded upon. Khan also suggests that sub-categories would be added to keep up with the range of work in today’s world. A hint at what all would be included is that artists are all those who contributed to the creation of art — actors, producers, directors, writers, or musicians.
