Ayesha was able to apply a bulk offer to her entire shopping cart, bringing her total to under Rs 10,000, a steal.
Ayesha, a young mom from Karachi, wanted to give her daughter Mirha a truly unforgettable 4th birthday, something as bold and joyful as Mirha’s favourite Disney heroine, Moana.
However, with summer temperatures soaring above 40°C (104°F) and local party supplies either unavailable or overpriced, Ayesha turned to Temu, a global online marketplace known for its wide range of affordable, creative items. What started as a dream soon.
became a vibrant Moana-themed beach celebration brought to life on a budget.
Beach House Turns into Island Paradise
Hosting a large family gathering inside their city apartment was not an option in Karachi’s sweltering heat. Knowing the sea breeze offered some relief, Ayesha decided to book a beach house by Hawks Bay Beach, transforming it into her own little island paradise for the day. However, the challenge was how to decorate it beautifully without overspending.
“I had this whole beachy Moana theme in mind, but when I started looking for supplies, it was a struggle,” Ayesha said. “Store after store had nothing close to what I envisioned, or the prices just didn’t make sense for a kid’s party.”
With only a couple of weeks left to plan, a friend suggested to try Temu, a rapidly growing global e-commerce platform launched in Pakistan late last year. The platform is known for its affordability and wide selection, according to an Ipsos survey.
A Treasure of Party Decorations on Temu
Curious and slightly hopeful, Ayesha began browsing the site and quickly found herself immersed in a treasure trove of party decorations and kids’ accessories. To her delight, the exact items she had imagined were right there: coconut shell cups, palm-leaf-style table mats, pastel-colored balloons—everything she needed to transform a plain beach house into a vibrant island adventure where kids and guests could celebrate in style.
“I was honestly amazed by how affordable everything was on Temu, and the quality? Even better than I expected! It made planning my daughter’s birthday a breeze,” Ayesha said.
One of her favourite finds was the Moana-inspired outfit she put together for Mirha, which instantly made her the star of the celebration.
“I went deep into Temu to find costume pieces that resembled Moana’s signature look from the film: her red tapa-style top and woven pandanus skirt with delicate embroidery,” Ayesha said. “I even found a beautiful artificial Hawaiian plumeria flower that I used to decorate her hair. It completed the look perfectly.”
Beyond decorations, Ayesha thoughtfully prepared small gifts for Mirha’s little friends, placing them in the mini jute bags she ordered from Temu. While hunting for party supplies on the platform, she also stumbled upon a lightning deal: Artificial Birds of Paradise at 90% off, which she later used to decorate her home.
Extra-Ordinary Bulk Offers and Discounts
Thanks to Temu’s new customer discount, Ayesha was able to apply a bulk offer to her entire shopping cart, bringing her total to under Rs 10,000, a steal, considering the quantity and quality she received.
To her surprise, everything arrived a few days ahead of schedule and arrived in one delivery, allowing her to prep the entire setup herself with time to spare.
“I wanted something fun, easy, and memorable, not just for Mirha, but for our friends and family who came to celebrate with us,” said Ayesha.
Ayesha’s story is a testament to how thoughtful planning, paired with the right platform, can turn a simple idea into an unforgettable celebration. With more Pakistani families now spending a larger share of their budgets on their children, especially around birthdays and milestones, Ayesha’s experience highlights how platforms like Temu, offering everything in one place at affordable prices, can make joyful moments both meaningful and budget-friendly.
The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, just admitted something wild in a recent interview: The creepy VIPs you saw in the show’s final season? They were partly inspired by Elon Musk.
Yep, you read that right.
In an interview with Time, Hwang said, “Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right?” And after wrapping up Season 3, he couldn’t help but notice that some of the VIPs looked and behaved a lot like him. Now that it hits, the resemblance is uncanny.
“Squid Game” Creator Channels Elon Musk for VIPs in Final Season
The VIPs in Squid Game are these ultra-rich, out-of-touch elites who literally bet on people’s lives for fun. They sit around wearing gold animal masks, drinking whiskey, and making terrible small talk while people fight to the death. Sound like a stretch? Today’s billionaires are kind of doing the same thing, just less bloody and way more public.
In fact, Season 3 takes it further. This time, the VIPs don’t just watch but also get involved in the blood bath. No more hiding, they are no more afraid to show who rules it all and who is behind all the dirty play. Sounds familiar?
The current political situation of the United States is an exact reflection. Billionaires like Elon Musk are no more funding the government just from behind. They step in the government, do their Nazis salutes and you can’t do anything about it.
As Hwang noted, “Not only is he the head of a huge tech company that controls the world almost, but he’s also this showman”.
“In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this big unseen conspiracy,” he explained.
“However, it’s no longer the case, especially in America. We talk a lot about oligarchy these days, but these so-called big tech owners step up, telling everyone who they’re backing with their money. The people who really control the power and the system no longer hide behind a curtain. They willingly take their masks off, almost as if to declare, ‘We’re the ones running everything. We’re the ones in control.”
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will.

“And then they sang for her, words of happiness, sounds of sadness and melody of tomorrow’s memories.” Sounds so poetic, right? What if I tell you that these are the opening sentences of a mehendi song from an old forgotten cinematic gem of Pakistan, “Beyond the Last Mountain”?
This mehendi song showcased Pakistani women in their truest form, covered yet modern. Way ahead of its time, if you ask me.
I am talking about Pakistan’s only English-language feature film that was written almost 49 years ago, in 1976, when Pakistan was booming in the modern age. Unfortunately, though, now almost all prints of the film from its time have been lost or discarded. The only surviving copy resides somewhere in New York in the Lincoln Centre Archives.
Beyond the Last Mountain: The Forgotten Cinematic History of Pakistan
Written, produced, and directed by Javed Jabbar, this 1976 film was not just another movie. In the 1970s, Pakistan was a country trying to pick up the pieces after the traumatic break of 1971. Amidst this political and emotional chaos, one man dared to dream beyond the usual.
Thus was born the masterpiece that Pakistan’s cinema has never seen before. Original and literal, Beyond the Last Mountain never got the recognition it deserved.
It was Pakistan’s first English language film, which was shown at the 6th International Film Festival of India in New Delhi. It was also released in the Urdu language with the title “Musafir”.
The actors who took up the main roles of this prestigious film were Usman Peerzada and Shamim Hilaly. The film also featured young Nazia Hassan, who later became the pop icon of Pakistan. If the cast is so iconic, imagine what the film must have been.
Ahead of Its Time, Misunderstood in Its Time
“Beyond the Last Mountain” wasn’t meant for the average cinema-goer looking for glamour, slapstick comedy, or melodrama. It was original (showed the true image of Pakistan in the 70s, a representation not found anymore) and too intellectual.
Maybe that’s exactly why it got lost in the crowd back then.
This wasn’t the kind of film Lollywood was making at the time. It had no gaudy dance numbers, no exaggerated villains, and no over-the-top romance. Instead, it explored the psyche of a young man named Hamid (played by Usman Peerzada), who returns to a politically unstable Karachi only to find his father (a respected politician) assassinated.
What follows is not revenge, but a journey into truth, disillusionment and the meaning of justice in a broken society. A young man searching for the truth and for himself.
Hamid meets four intelligent, self-aware women (no damsel in distress stereotype) from Karachi’s upper-middle class, each with a distinct worldview. This alone is revolutionary on its own, but also ironic of how we have evolved in reverse in our dramas these days.
Pakistani women being shown as thinkers, movers and challengers of the status quo? That’s new!
Tragically, today, so few of us know that a film like this ever existed in our archives. It’s about time we revive our history and cinematic masterpieces instead of running after movies that are not even our own and will never be.
Beyond The Last Mountain
Javed Jabbar’s Legacy Must Live On
The filmmaker, Javed Jabbar, took an immense risk with this film and thankfully so. He could have played it safe and easily made a traditional Lollywood film, but he chose not to.
Ironically, international critics praised it. It was screened at the 6th International Film Festival of India and seen as a bold, fresh experiment in South Asian cinema.
And then… silence.
The film disappeared for decades, and even its prints went missing. If not for archivists in New York’s Lincoln Centre, who found a surviving copy in their vaults in the late 2010s, the film might’ve been lost forever.
Now is our chance to not let Javed Jabbar’s gem go to waste, even if it’s late. According to the Lincoln Archives, after some colour correction, clean up, and remastered sound, the film will be ready to resurface in our era. The era that will surely do justice to the movie, “Beyond the Last Mountain”, deserves.

Some actors in Hollywood are the official trademark of the industry, and Leonardo DiCaprio is easily one of them. He is arguably one of the finest actors from his generation, due to his versatility and range. The Academy Award winner has maintained a formidable presence in Hollywood with a nearly three-decades-long career.
Leonardo DiCaprio Movies: Every Cinephile’s Must-Watch
To celebrate the actor, here are the best Leonardo DiCaprio Movies of all time.
Titanic (1997)
Release Date: December 19, 1997
Box Office: $2.26 billion (worldwide)
Directed by: James Cameron
Role: Jack Dawson
Titanic is the second highest-grossing movie of all time and the second film to win 11 Oscars, including Best Picture. Directed by James Cameron, Titanic was the ultimate breakthrough that turned Leonardo into the global sensation he is today.
If you’ve watched Titanic recently, one of the big takeaways might have been, “Good lord, look how young Leo and Kate are.” Since both have blossomed into significant actors, it’s easy to forget that they were really just kids (Leo was just 23) when they made this movie. His ripe age also allowed him to deliver the performance his role required.
Playing Jack Dawson, a poor yet passionate artist who wins a ticket aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic, Leo infused charm, cockiness and optimism into his role. His chemistry with Kate Winslet remains legendary even to this day. When his character dies in Titanic, a world of impressionable filmgoers was his for life.
Unfortunately, his charm and obvious good looks didn’t impress the Academy enough to include him in the best actor lineup. Still, he would eventually get his due more than 20 years later.
With an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion, Titanic was the first film to reach the billion-dollar mark. It was the first film to surpass the $1 billion mark and held the record for the highest-grossing film for 12 years.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Release Date: December 25, 2013
Box Office: $407 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Role: Jordan Belfort
In Martin Scorsese’s scandalous, cocaine-fueled biopic of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, Leo goes full throttle. DiCaprio has often partnered with filmmaking icon Martin Scorsese, but his comedic take on Jordan Belfort’s time of wealth, corruption and drug use is one of the actor’s most jaw-dropping.
The film is unhinged and unfiltered, just how it should have been. It’s a satirical comedy about a real-life douchebag who ends up in a good place in the end, despite his gross behaviour. And let’s not forget the great discovery of DiCaprio’s performance in this movie: his total mastery of physical comedy.
From crawling on Quaaludes to delivering motivational monologues, Leo doesn’t hold back. This role was a high-wire act of indulgence, chaos, and control. He earned an Oscar nomination despite the film being released under the gun, and proved, once again, that he could carry a three-hour film with swagger without letting his mask of “the world is made for me to conquer” slide.
Inception (2010)
Release Date: July 16, 2010
Box Office: $836 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Role: Dom Cobb
DiCaprio’s biggest hit since Titanic, Inception, is the first real event movie he’s been a part of since that James Cameron sensation. (Remarkably, Inception is also his first summer blockbuster.)
Christopher Nolan’s thriller gave DiCaprio a layered role as Dom Cobb, a thief tormented by his past. Dom Cobb isn’t a tragic figure because he lost his wife, but rather because he never came to terms with it, and DiCaprio provides the character with endless anguish that supplements the film’s stunning effects and twisty sci-fi concept.
Inception was a box office hit and became a modern sci-fi classic, largely due to DiCaprio’s emotional anchor.
The Revenant (2015)
Release Date: December 25, 2015
Box Office: $533 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Alejandro G. Iñárritu
Role: Hugh Glass
This is the film that finally won Leo his long-overdue Oscar. Playing frontiersman Hugh Glass, DiCaprio braved freezing temperatures, ate raw bison liver, and delivered a nearly wordless performance that was primal and daring.
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant is a brutal tale of survival, in which an 1820s frontiersman endures in quick succession a Native American ambush, a bear attack, and a betrayal by one of his companions (Tom Hardy) who leaves him for dead. Leo’s commitment to the role was nothing short of legendary.
The Revenant is easily the most physical role of his career, with the actor grunting, straining, and fighting his way across unforgiving terrain to make it back to civilisation. He finally proved to people that he can play rugged characters just as well as he can play the others.
Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Release Date: December 25, 2002
Box Office: $352 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Role: Frank Abagnale
In this breezy Steven Spielberg crime caper, Leo plays Frank Abagnale Jr., a teenage con artist who impersonates doctors, lawyers, and pilots.
His youthful charm, slyness, and emotional vulnerability make you root for him even as he commits fraud after fraud. DiCaprio’s dynamic with Tom Hanks (the FBI agent chasing him) is pure gold. This film marked a turning point. After it, Leo wasn’t just a teen idol anymore; he was a serious actor with incredible range.
Unfortunately, only the Golden Globes nominated him for Best Actor (drama) and not the Oscars.
Shutter Island (2010)
Release Date: February 19, 2010
Box Office: $295 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Role: Edward “Teddy” Daniels / Andrew Laeddis
Among the most divisive films in DiCaprio’s career, Shutter Island is an elegantly unnerving portrait of a man slowly losing his sanity.
In this psychological thriller, Leo plays U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, investigating a missing patient on a mysterious island asylum. As Teddy Daniels, who thinks he’s on the hunt for a missing inmate on an island for the criminally insane, DiCaprio has to play his character’s psychosis straight, all the while hinting at the horrible truth: He’s actually a patient himself, unable to accept the fact that his wife (Michelle Williams) killed their children.
As the plot twists and Teddy’s own sanity unravels, DiCaprio walks a tightrope between toughness and psychological torment. The film’s haunting final line (“Which would be worse: to live as a monster or die as a good man?”) is a testament to his performance.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Release Date: July 26, 2019
Box Office: $377 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Role: Rick Dalton
Quentin Tarantino’s nostalgic Hollywood fairytale gave DiCaprio one of his most complex characters. Rick Dalton, a fading actor dealing with insecurity, failure and the changing tides of fame. Leo’s performance is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
Call it the perfect marriage of an actor feeling like he’s at the crossroads of his career, or maybe it’s his infectiously funny and charming performance, but his Rick Dalton in Tarantino’s look at classic Los Angeles is possibly his best work (yet).
Leonardo DiCaprio: The Actor We Will Remember
Several of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best performances subvert or tweak his good looks, encouraging us to see the uglier, messier undercurrents beneath his characters’ appealing surface.
He’s not just an actor who picks good scripts; he elevates every story he’s in. In the future, new generations will watch Leonardo DiCaprio’s movies and will envy the actor our generation was privileged to have.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is back in action, and this time, he’s leading a squad full of legends into the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. If nostalgia had a cricket team, the Pakistan Champions would be it.
From July 18 to August 2, expect fireworks, fierce rivalries, and a healthy dose of throwback moments as some of Pakistan’s most iconic cricketers return to don the green once again—this time on English soil.
Afridi will lead a lineup stacked with firepower, experience, and match-winning potential. Joining him is Sarfaraz Ahmed, the man who led Pakistan to a memorable Champions Trophy win in 2017. It’s poetic, really—two captains from two very different eras, now united in one team.
The Squad: Legends Galore
The Pakistan Champions squad is the stuff of every 2000s and 2010s cricket fan’s dreams. Here’s the full lineup:
Shahid Afridi (c), Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Sharjeel Khan, Wahab Riaz, Asif Ali, Kamran Akmal, Aamer Yamin, Sohail Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Sohaib Maqsood, Arshad Khan

Experience: Malik, Hafeez, and Afridi know what it takes to win on the big stage.
Aggression: Sharjeel, Asif Ali, and Kamran Akmal bring batting firepower.
Versatility: Wahab, Tanvir, and Yamin offer all-round depth and variety in the bowling attack.
What’s at Stake in WCL 2025?
The World Championship of Legends (WCL) isn’t just another nostalgia fest. It’s a serious competition, featuring six powerhouse nations: India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa, and the West Indies.
Matches will be played across some of England’s most iconic grounds: Edgbaston, Headingley, Grace Road, and Northampton—adding to the charm of what’s expected to be a high-octane tournament.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t just about cricket. It’s about legacy, emotion, and a reunion of some of Pakistan’s most celebrated cricketers.
Whether you cheered for Afridi’s whirlwind 37-ball century or Sarfaraz’s calm presence behind the stumps, there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing these stars together again.
So, get ready to relive the magic. Because when Pakistan Champions step onto the field, it’s not just a match—it’s a celebration.

In a move that feels as fitting as a helicopter shot in the final over, MS Dhoni has filed to trademark the nickname that has long defined his cricketing persona—“Captain Cool.”
Yes, the title that fans, commentators, and opponents alike have used to describe Dhoni’s ice-veined leadership is on its way to becoming legally his.
Making “Captain Cool” Official
According to the Trademark Registry of India, the application filed by Dhoni in June 2023 has now been approved and advertised. That means unless someone raises an objection within the next three months, the former India skipper will officially own the rights to the phrase “Captain Cool” under categories related to sports training.
For years, MS Dhoni has been the embodiment of composure—whether it was finishing off finals with a six or keeping his cool during nail-biting Super Overs. Now, it seems he’s ready to etch that image into the commercial realm.
Competing Applications and Technicalities
Interestingly, the journey to trademarking “Captain Cool” wasn’t a solo run to the finish line. Earlier this month, a company called Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd also tried to stake a claim on the same nickname.
However, their application has been flagged as requiring corrections, giving Dhoni the edge once again—just like he used to do in the final overs.
Why This Trademark Matters?
This isn’t just a vanity move. By securing the rights to “Captain Cool,” MS Dhoni could use the brand across sports academies, merchandise, training programs, and even future business ventures. It ensures that his legacy—on and off the field—remains protected and uniquely his.
From staying ice-calm behind the stumps to now putting his name on the phrase that captured his cricketing soul, MS Dhoni continues to lead from the front—even in retirement.
And if things go as expected, the next time you see “Captain Cool” on a t-shirt, cricket academy, or training gear, you’ll know: it’s not just a nickname. It’s Dhoni’s own trademarked legacy.

In under one year, Salaam Cola, a halal-certified soda brand launched by 27-year-old Irish entrepreneur Aykiz Shah, is now available in 18 countries. It challenges major players like Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Shah started Salaam Cola in 2023 through Salaam Beverages Co. Limited with a focus on ethics and global good. The company donates 10% of its profits to war-affected places, including Palestine, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon.
Through its partnership with UK-based charity Muslims in Need, Salaam Cola helped build a school for displaced Palestinian children in Egypt. It also provided medical care for over 10,000 people, gave food and shelter in crisis zones, and rebuilt a bombed mosque in Syria.
Shah said, “As a mother and a woman in hijab in a male-dominated industry, I wanted to show you can build something meaningful without compromising your values.” She added, “Salaam Cola is more than a drink — it’s a vehicle for global good.”
The drink is halal-certified and has become popular in Ireland, the UK, the USA, France, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, and more. Its fast growth has attracted attention from major cola brands, and industry insiders say big companies are making new plans in response to Salaam Cola’s success.
Shah’s direct style has earned both support and backlash, especially for supporting causes in sensitive regions. But the brand stays transparent and regularly posts updates and proof of donations on social media.
By 2026, the brand plans to expand to 10 more countries. It also wants to open local production hubs to create jobs and grow its impact. Many new ethical drink brands are emerging, but Salaam Cola is leading the way.
Shah said,“We didn’t come to play. We came to disrupt.”She added, “If our presence makes the industry uncomfortable, that means we’re doing something right.”
Salaam Cola mixes quality, purpose, and bold leadership to change how global drink brands operate.

Schedule For Pakistan-Bangladesh T20I Series Revealed
The Pakistan T20I squad for the upcoming Bangladesh series is just around the corner—and while fans may have hoped for a few bombshells, the news coming out of the PCB camp suggests it’ll be a mostly familiar lineup… with some changes.
Experienced Trio to Sit Out
According to reports, neither Babar Azam nor Mohammad Rizwan will feature in the squad for the three-match T20I series in Dhaka.
Meanwhile, pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi, who last featured during the tour of New Zealand, is also not expected to be part of the squad.
Whether it’s rotation, form, or fitness-related, the PCB seems to be thinking long-term—especially with a packed calendar ahead.
Surprise Call-Up
Here’s where things get interesting. Sources say that Sufiyan Muqeem, the left-arm spinner who showed flashes of brilliance in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, could be a surprise inclusion.
He didn’t play in the home series against Bangladesh earlier this year, despite impressing with an incredible spell of 6 runs for 2 wickets in just 2 overs against the Kiwis.
If confirmed, this could be a timely return for Muqeem—and one that fans of domestic cricket have been hoping for.
Shadab Khan Set for Surgery
Another notable absentee will be Shadab Khan, who is reportedly headed to the United Kingdom for shoulder surgery. The 26-year-old all-rounder, who was named T20I vice-captain earlier this year, has been grappling with persistent discomfort in his right shoulder.
Medical experts have advised surgery, meaning Shadab will miss the Bangladesh tour. His absence leaves a leadership gap and potentially opens the door for a new face to take up the all-rounder’s mantle.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Series Schedule
The Pakistan team is scheduled to land in Dhaka on July 16, with the action against Bangladesh kicking off shortly after:
1st T20I – Sunday, 20 July
2nd T20I – Tuesday, 22 July
3rd T20I – Thursday, 24 July
All matches will be played at the iconic Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium and are set to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

Squid Game wrapped up its main arc on June 27, 2025, with Season 3 marking the end of the Korean blockbuster series. While the player 456 may have died, the ending dropped a hint: The show might not be done quite yet.
In the final scene of the show, Cate Blanchett appears as an American recruiter for the Squid Games. She plays ddakji in an L.A. alley. The moment clearly points to more games—this time in the U.S.
Fincher in Talks for Squid Game?
Several sources indicate Netflix is working on an English‑language offshoot. David Fincher tops the list. He’s associated with writer Dennis Kelly, creator of “Utopia.” Production is scheduled to start in December 2025 in L.A.
Director Hwang Dong‑hyuk reports that he hasn’t received an official notification from Netflix about an American offshoot of the show being made, but has heard of Fincher’s involvement via reports. Regardless, he’s familiar with Fincher’s work and is an admirer. He’d see it straight away.
Fan Reaction
Fans are split. Some are thrilled. Others are apprehensive. Many worry that Hollywood will water down the original’s subtle criticism. Some begrudge ddakji being brought in without added context.
This won’t be a direct remake. Sources indicate it will broaden the Squid Game universe. The narrative will delve into themes that are similar: desperation, inequality, power, spectacle, but this time set in an American world.
David Fincher
Timeline & Takeaway
June 27, 2025: Korean finale broadcasts
Summer 2025: Season concludes with Blanchett cameo
December 2025: Production of U.S. spin-off due to start
Yes. Netflix is probably greenlighting a U.S. spin-off of Squid Game, directed by David Fincher. The final episode’s cliffhanger cameo and relentless industry chatter indicate a forthcoming American series. However, Netflix has yet to officially announce it.
Fincher’s involvement is still a strong rumour, supported by numerous credible sources—and by Hwang’s guarded optimism.

Turkiye has evacuated more than 50,000 people from 41 areas around Izmir. Fires burned for the second day as strong winds pushed flames across villages and forests. Forest Minister Ibrahim Yumakli said winds hit 40-50kmph overnight in Kuyucak and Doganbey.
Most of those evacuated were from fire zones near the popular western resort of Izmir, according to AFAD. The media said operations at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport were suspended due to a fire.
Helicopters, planes, and over 1,000 people battled the flames. However, earlier, strong winds grounded helicopters. That left two water-bombing aircraft and ground crews to fight alone. The video showed teams using tractors and helicopters while thick smoke covered hills.
The first wildfire started on Sunday between Seferihisar and Menderes. It spread quickly with winds of up to 117kmph, Governor Suleyman Elban said. In Urkmez village, residents had to cut trees to build firebreaks to protect their homes.
Another fire began at a landfill in Gaziemir, 13km from Izmir city. That fire spread to nearby woodland and the Otokent industrial zone. Otokent hosts many car dealerships.
Last year, a wildfire also hit the same area. Summers are hotter and drier, and scientists link this pattern of fires to climate change. Turkiye’s coastal regions have seen repeated fires in recent years.
Across Southern Europe, fire crews are also active. In France’s Aude region, 40 °C temperatures forced the evacuation of a campsite and an abbey. In Greece, fires near Athens led to some evacuations last week. Portugal’s southern regions, including Lisbon, were under red heat warnings on Monday.

In the digital era of mindless scrolls and algorithm-driven desires, it takes something extraordinary and special to stand out and grab global attention.
However, the last decade has seen the explosion of many bizarre hype products. These may have no intrinsic beauty or value, yet many have become global obsessions.
These hype products have taken up an identity of their own, becoming larger-than-life characters, creating subcultures among like-minded individuals.
Labubu
Once upon a time, young girls wanted Barbie dolls, and boys were obsessed with Batman action figures. Today, many kids want Labubu.
A cute and creepy collectable that has effectively become the mascot of Pop Mart, Labubu defies traditional conceptions of innocence and cuteness. This bizarre quality has appealed to the tastes of many, both young and old alike.
A unique aesthetic “Instagrammable” appeal, the exclusivity of popular editions, and a solid customer base, Labubu had all the tools to become a hype product.
Labubu has become a cultural icon.
Stanley Quencher
At the turn of the 21st century, few would have imagined that a water bottle would become a status symbol and cultural icon, yet that is exactly what happened with the Stanley Quencher.
Renowned for their unmatched durability and ability to fit in cup holders, Stanley Quenchers gained popularity in 2020-21 due to influencer-led campaigns, appealing to female tastes.
In the late 2010s, especially the 2015-17 period, Fidget Spinners were one of the biggest toy crazes. Famous YouTubers promoted them and provided users with tricks. Their videos got millions of views.
They were marketed as tools for hyperactive individuals or those with legitimate disorders like ADHD, but they quickly caught on with the general population.
Shaped like a mini ceiling fan, the individual had to hold the centre pad and flick any arm, causing the device to spin. It was different, fun, and highly addictive, which is why everyone had fidget spinners during the height of their popularity.

Slime
Like fidget spinners, Slime was also marketed as a stress-reliever, but it stood out because it could be made at home by mixing glue, water, borax, and optional extras like beads or food colouring.
There were different types of slime textures, and each made a unique, satisfying sound with an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) appeal. Furthermore, slime quickly became a form of creative expression.

Pop Its
During the lockdown era, the world sought comfort in Pop Its, a fidget toy with pop-able bubbles. The popping sounds were satisfying and gentle to the ear, and it thought to release stress and provide relief.
Unlike slime, pop its created no mess. Furthermore, it came in all shapes, sizes, and colours, encouraging its use as a collectable.

A New Way of Life
The popularity of hype products hinges on their ability to influence identities and create subcultures. In this way, they guide a new lifestyle among like-minded individuals.
Take Labubu as the perfect example. The ugly-but-cute character with serrated teeth caught on with Generation Z. This was because many saw a bit of themselves in Labubu.
Given the rapid spread of globalisation and social media, traditional notions of cuteness and innocence have broken down with the emergence of new trends and tastes.
Labubu exemplified these modern notions, appealing to Gen-Z. They resonated at a deeper level, creating a loyal customer base.

The Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) missed its annual tax collection target for Fiscal Year 2024-25 by Rs1.235 trillion. It aimed to collect Rs12.97 trillion but managed only Rs11.735 trillion. The authorities had revised the target twice, first to Rs12.332 trillion, then to Rs11.9 trillion during the 2025-26 budget.
The officials adjusted the targets because of weaker economic performance. The FBR now faces the challenge of collecting Rs14.131 trillion for FY 2025-26 starting July 1, 2025. Since it couldn’t meet even the revised base, the revenue body will need stronger efforts to reach the new goal.
The government will likely reduce spending to meet the IMF’s agreed fiscal deficit levels.
Officials cut projected interest payments from Rs9.7 trillion to Rs8.9 trillion, saving Rs0.8 trillion. The FBR said, “We ambitiously set the annual tax collection target at Rs12.3tr, which marked a substantial 32% increase compared to the Rs9.3tr we collected during FY 2023-24.”
They had based this target on a 15% autonomous growth rate for FY25. However, economic activity slowed. Without new policy measures, tax collection would have only reached Rs 10.07 trillion.
The FBR added, “Given the subdued economic environment and lower than expected autonomous growth, the estimated tax collection for FY25, without any corrective measures, would have been projected to Rs10.07tr.”
The revenue body clarified, “If the government had opted for fiscal policies that sustained higher inflation, it would have led to a corresponding increase in interest rates along with an increase in debt repayments.”
It said such policies would have harmed low-income groups and reduced their purchasing power. “By maintaining inflation at relatively low levels, the government has provided critical relief to vulnerable segments,” the statement continued.
To improve collections, the FBR focused on enforcement, administrative efficiency, and new policies. These efforts pushed total tax collection up by 26% compared to last year. The final Rs11.735 trillion includes Rs5.784 trillion in income tax (28% growth), Rs3.9 trillion in sales tax (26%), Rs0.767 trillion in customs duty (16%), and Rs1.284 trillion in customs duty (27%).

The federal government has increased petrol prices for the next fortnight. According to the Ministry of Finance, the petrol price has gone up by Rs 14.80 per litre. As a result, the new petrol rate now stands at Rs 266.89 per litre.
In addition, officials have also raised the price of high-speed diesel by Rs 10.39 per litre. Consequently, diesel now costs Rs 272.98 per litre. These revised prices will apply for the next 15 days.
However, the government delayed the official announcement beyond the usual midnight deadline. This unexpected delay confused the public waiting for the update. Normally, the ministry releases such notifications on time.
The Ministry of Finance, in consultation with the Prime Minister, finalises the fuel prices. This time, however, the ministry delayed the issuance without providing any explanation. Meanwhile, media outlets had already reported the likely increase.
Eventually, the ministry released the official notification to confirm the price hike. As expected, petrol and diesel users will now face higher fuel costs. Therefore, this rise directly affects daily transport and business operations.
According to the notification, “The petrol price has been increased by Rs 14.80 per litre, bringing the new petrol price to Rs 266.89 per litre.” It also added, “The price of high-speed diesel has been raised by Rs 10.39 per litre, with the new rate set at Rs272.98 per litre.”
This hike will likely impact transporters, industries, and regular motorists. Furthermore, price increases like this often lead to higher inflation. As a result, many anticipate further price jumps in essential goods and services.
Now, the public must adjust their household budgets to manage the higher fuel costs. Typically, fuel prices change every 15 days under the current pricing formula. Moreover, these adjustments follow global market trends.
Notably, the ministry did not mention any changes in kerosene or light diesel oil prices. The update focused solely on petrol and high-speed diesel. Thus, consumers will need to wait for future notifications regarding other fuels.
Reports were updated and shared the revised rates. After hours of delay and speculation, the new prices are now in effect. These will remain valid until the next revision in the pricing cycle.

‘Squid Game’ Creator Reveals Elon Musk as Inspiration for VIPs in Final Season
The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, just admitted something wild in a recent interview: The creepy VIPs you saw in the show’s final season? They were partly inspired by Elon Musk.
Yep, you read that right.
In an interview with Time, Hwang said, “Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right?” And after wrapping up Season 3, he couldn’t help but notice that some of the VIPs looked and behaved a lot like him. Now that it hits, the resemblance is uncanny.
“Squid Game” Creator Channels Elon Musk for VIPs in Final Season
The VIPs in Squid Game are these ultra-rich, out-of-touch elites who literally bet on people’s lives for fun. They sit around wearing gold animal masks, drinking whiskey, and making terrible small talk while people fight to the death. Sound like a stretch? Today’s billionaires are kind of doing the same thing, just less bloody and way more public.
In fact, Season 3 takes it further. This time, the VIPs don’t just watch but also get involved in the blood bath. No more hiding, they are no more afraid to show who rules it all and who is behind all the dirty play. Sounds familiar?
The current political situation of the United States is an exact reflection. Billionaires like Elon Musk are no more funding the government just from behind. They step in the government, do their Nazis salutes and you can’t do anything about it.
As Hwang noted, “Not only is he the head of a huge tech company that controls the world almost, but he’s also this showman”.
“In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this big unseen conspiracy,” he explained.
“However, it’s no longer the case, especially in America. We talk a lot about oligarchy these days, but these so-called big tech owners step up, telling everyone who they’re backing with their money. The people who really control the power and the system no longer hide behind a curtain. They willingly take their masks off, almost as if to declare, ‘We’re the ones running everything. We’re the ones in control.”
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will.
