Syra Yousuf is the queen of minding her business with sophistication and class. The actress loves sharing inspiring quotes on and off and she recently shared another motivational one. The quote largely resembles her own approach to controversies and people have a lot to say over it. Here’s what’s going on:
The Quote Syra Yousuf Shared
Syra Yousuf shared a motivational piece of advice on her stories. The quote emphasises the importance of leading by example and setting your own self to a higher benchmark.

Because if you don’t respect yourself enough to do better, how can you expect others to? The actress resonated with the quote that prizes inspiring through example and actions rather than hollow words. She shared it with her fans too on social media, have a look:
What Do People Think?
Syra Yousuf is loved by netizens. The way she handled the controversy with her ex-husband and Sadaf Kanwal was remarkable! Since then she has been listed in the netizens’ good books. Now, since this quote also channels her own vibe, people are only more impressed. The comments on this story focused on how Syra Yousuf’s own personality is remarkable while the others suspected something was cooking:
Yousuf taught us that even when everything is gown downhill, that too in the public eye, keeping your calm can mean everything. Instead of falling prey to malicious rumours and personal attacks, she kept silent on the matter of her divorce and her ex-husband’s second marriage. It couldn’t have been easy for sure but she showed people that it can be done!

Syra Yousuf’s example shows that the worst of cases can be solved with sophistication. Biting into them would only colour her with the same brush. Instead, focus on your own life, your own happiness and respect shall follow.
Could Something Be Cooking?
This quote could be applied to Shahroz Sabzwari. The guy has ruined his reputation since he started getting personal with netizens and also insulting his fans. When celebrities turn nasty to the very people who give them fame, it’s time for them to pack their bags. Such is the case with Sabzwari who is no longer inspirational for anyone.
Though we’re sure Syra Yousuf wouldn’t take a dig at her ex-husband, you know what they say. If the shoe fits, take it home Cinderella!
It seems to be an exciting start to the T20 World Cup. In the first match with the archrival, India, the team had unexpected results sending Pakistanis on a meme game; trolling the neighbours. But that was not the end of it. It turns out that Pak Vs Ind was not the only match that would get all the attention. Pakistan Vs New Zealand is in focus and all due to the recent embarrassment they put Pakistanis through.
You must have heard that New Zealand backed out of the Pakistan tour by leaving the country at the eleventh hour. This was ‘ultimate embarrassment’. They blamed the sudden decision on security threats. The claim was that they had gotten threat of being attacked should they choose to play against Pakistan. Following their decision, England also backed out.
Hence, this match is equally important, if not more, as the match with India.
Somebody sent me the headlines of few Pakistani newspapers. Forget about India now. Next match is with #NewZealand, remember they cancelled the tour of #Pakistan and pulled out their cricket team from Rawalpindi few weeks back. #PakvsNZ is more important than #PakvsIndiapic.twitter.com/dAndqMzdhm
Do you really think that a match with this much significance will not be discussed on Twitter? I think not. Netizens are ready with their keyboards. Of course, the real fun will start at 7 pm when the match is supposed to begin however, you can see the onset even now.
They are quick to throw shade that the security threat New Zealand left for was bogus, but the threat of giving real competition will definitely be real.
A very high chance that NewZealand withdraw their team as an obvious threat (Pakistan) will be there, & this time is real as well.
— M Gulzaib 🇵🇰 #IStandwithPalestine (@Veyy__Gul) October 25, 2021
After India, Pakistan is to face New Zealand. The country could not really respond after New Zealand insulted us. But this will surely be the arena where they can give the best possible response.
Safe to say, the angry Pakistanis are hoping that the team will smash NZ exactly how they trashed the Indian team. One has to acknowledge the fervor they showed in the match with India; a match that got titled as a historic win. Here is to hoping we will be able to grill NZ a bit more than what we did to our archrival.

Xiaomi has been one of the fastest-rising brands of the era. They have taken the smartphone niche and have escalated it to higher levels. When they started out with their budget range, they were unmatched. Despite there being a pandemic, newer phones kept coming out. Now, they have even moved towards the mid and higher-end range smartphones.
Just a while back, we came to know that the company might be venturing into the automobile domain as well. It was rumored that there was development being done in that area. However, now that news has been confirmed because of the most recent event. Xiaomi is headed towards EVs!
In recent news, we came to know that Xiaomi is indeed working in the automobile production domain. According to sources, by 2024, they will be producing electric vehicles on a mass scale. They are officially going to enter the market with some serious rivals, including Tesla. It also makes sense why they were recently hiring people for the research and development of electric vehicles.
The company is planning to invest about $10 Billion in its EV arm in the next 10 years. They have also said that their shares jumped by more than 5% after the confirmation of this latest development. We are hoping to see Xiaomi vehicles on the streets as we progress towards 2024.

Electric Era
The entire bubble is about to burst and the era is changing. Clean energy is what everyone is looking forward to. Whether they like it or not, combustion engines have begun their descent after more than a century of operation. Xiaomi is one of the brands that have decided to extend its domain into other niches.
Sony has resided among the champions for a lot of years now. You could say that company has had decades to make itself into something worthy. Its products are considered flagship in any domain and you know it has strength when you read its name. Smartphones by Sony are some of the most robust ones out there, with extraordinary camera capabilities. Despite there being so many brands, the company has still managed to retain its title. But today’s story is about Sony Xperia.
Until some time ago, we didn’t know what the company had been up to in this quarter of 2021. It was initially revealed that a new smartphone, Sony Xperia was being worked on. According to sources, it was going to hold some cosmic-level features. The wait, it seems, is over now. The event date and invitation for the smartphone launch have finally been revealed.
The event is less than a day away and we are already looking forward to it. However, the reveal of the event date itself was not the most shocking part. Alongside this, Sony Xperia has released a new teaser in which they talk about the upcoming smartphone. Let us tell you, from what we have seen, it is quite a beast.
In the teaser, Sony Xperia shows off three of its previous smartphones which have impressive cameras. Alongside that, some reviews are given regarding the phones and how memorable they are. Next, we were shown that the upcoming smartphone is more cameras than phones. It almost feels like a camera attached to a phone. Additionally, even a filmmaker stated that the newest addition is the best smartphone camera they have ever seen!
Lights, Camera, Action
All of this points towards the fact that Sony is moving ahead at a brisk pace. To release such a camera would mean shattering the current limits that are used. It means that the company is producing technology that is quite ahead. The camera, as said, is no less than a cinematic one, and is sure to rock the world of technology when it is released. We think the public might be storming the franchise once the product is out.
We hope to see Sony make impressive bounds as the year comes to a close. That hardware button for the shutter is certainly something new and not what we are used to. Its presence signifies that there is quite a lot at work here besides just the software. Sony is headed in an entirely different direction than its competitors.

The star kid turned actor, Shahroz Sabzwari, has been under media surveillance more for his personal life than for his acting. Divorcing Syra Yousuf, the actor had married Sadaf Kanwal attracting tons of hate from Pakistanis all over. Those who did not even know of a Shahroz now came to know him. Well, the actor has certainly figured out the formula, ‘how to stay relevant’.
Shahroz Sabzwari was invited to a show. The host was the beloved Waseem Badami who has made his name through the Ramadan shows. Waseem asked the question, ‘Love happens once or multiple times?’
The actor replied that true love happens only once. Appreciating Shahroz and the depth of the matter he hinted at, Waseem reiterated that Shahroz too had that just once. Bahroz Sabzwari’s son assented.
Having followed Shahroz’s life closely first because of the cute couple Shahroz and Syra made, and then, to look for content to troll Shahroz and Sadaf, netizens are confused. They cannot figure out which one Shahroz is talking about.
The interview happened recently so it is possible that he is talking about Sadaf, the person he married after leaving Syra. Maybe, and we can only speculate, the true love he is talking about is Sadaf because he chose to get out of the relationship with his first wife.
However, if we are speculating then why not Syra as well? See, it has been some time since Shahroz married Sadaf. He has had ample time to see compatibility with her and as human nature goes, one automatically starts comparing. Not only that but the actor also got to spend some time with his ex-wife once again after marriage as they shot a movie together. Hence, what if Shahroz realized that Sadaf may not be the true love and that he lost the chance of spending his life with her?
But the way he is smiling and loving every moment of his time on the show with Waseem Badami, it does seem unlikely that it is Syra.
Let’s look at what the people thought of it though.

Well, whoever it was Shahroz will know better. And it is highly likely that this was just one more stunt of staying relevant, staying viral. Or could it be that his new strategy is being Rahul from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai?

Brands had geared up on both sides of the border, preparing for the win in the T20 World Cup of the most awaited match of the entire competition. But since you never know what the future holds for you, it’s always better to keep yourself in check. Otherwise, your words may come back to haunt you just like in the case of Zomato. Of course, Pakistani brands were not far behind, they were ready to give the haunting a boost.
The food delivery brand in India, Zomato attempted to troll Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on October 24th. They said that if PCB is looking for burgers and Pizza, they could deliver. The tweet went viral.
Dear @TheRealPCB, in case you’re looking for 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫 or 𝐩𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐞 tonight, we’re just a DM away 😉
The brands were not far behind in defending PCB and/or trolling Zomato. Whatever brand rivalry there may be, but when Pakistan is trolled, everyone leaves their rivalry aside to render the enemy speechless.
Since Careem delivers food as well and their recent offer was linked to free food, they said not only could they deliver all the free ‘Pizze’ and burgers, but also some fantastic tea. And we all know the Indians just love our fantastic tea.
Don't worry we are delivering free burgers and pizze to them tomorrow.
foodpanda trolled them pretty hard. They advised the Indians on leaving the food delivery responsibility on them and focusing on cricket because 3 outs on just 31 runs is just embarrassing.
31-3
How about leave the food delivery to us and focus on something else? 👀🤲🏻
Sastaticket had a funny response as well. It said that if the Indian team needed help booking tickets back home now that they lost to Pakistan, Sastaticket was at service.
With the victory in hand, Ibex Pakistan suggested to Zomato to begin looking for places to hide. And should they need help, Ibex Pakistan was available.
Hey @zomato! If you are looking for a place to hide now, then you know where to drop by! We have FANTASTIC reviews on our tea! 😜
Pakistan rocked the world yesterday with its performance in the T-20 World Cup 2021 match against India. The India and Pakistan matches always trigger chaos and a whole range of emotions amongst their fans. They are the most celebrated matches and yesterday proved why. Of course, such historic wins, by 10 wickets and with the first two players only, deserves to be celebrated. These are all the brands that celebrated the win:
1. Pepsi
Pepsi has always been a huge part of cricket celebrations and this moment was no different. The beverages brand created a special post honouring the best players of the match- Babar Azam, Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi. Their latest tag is the best one to go along: why not meri jaan?
foodpanda knows how to set the stage for celebrations and make their customers happy. After such a terrific match yesterday with the best weather one could ask for, of course, a cup of chai would feel other-wordly good. foodpanda read our minds.
The tea tastes “fantastic” after a win by 10 wickets 👀🥳#PakVsInd
Jazz up-ed the game with its humorous message. We can’t help but agree with their message— when Pakistan wants to win, it can also win with 10 wickets. The dig at the neighbours is respectful but funny nonetheless. Where is the mauqa mauqa clan now?
Jeetnay ka mauqa milay, tou 10 wickets in hand ke saath bhi jeet saktay hain.
Could we expect anything less from Ufone? The telecommunication brand’s tagline “Tum Hi Tou Ho” has been etched on our minds since forever. They played on it and made it relevant to the match too— we’re loving the vibe.
CONGRATULATIONS Team Pakistan! 🇵🇰
Kyun ke khel ke asal khiladi Tum Hi Tou Ho.
Peek Freans also brought out their biscuits to celebrate the historic win. The brand made a post using their biscuits celebrating the win— hats off to their graphic designer. The caption also shared the sentiments: winning against India definitely felt as if we won the T-20 world cup itself!
Howdy is the hub of all good burgers and they know how to bring on the joyful elements in addition to serving the best burgers. They made a post about Pakistan’s win with zeal and zest and wished the team the best of luck for future matches!
Digi Khata made the funniest video celebrating the win of Pakistan. Modelling after the Indian host famous for going haywire on their shoes, the app made sure to celebrate the victory in the best way possible.
Hareem Shah’s wedding was all about mystery and hype on the internet. The internet sensation announced one day she was going to get married to a political personality. Her husband’s identity was neither shared nor found for a long while. Now that Hareem Shah has introduced him to her internet community, the two are up to some mischievous activities. Have a look here:
Hareem Shah’s Videos With “Husband”
Shah shared an adorable video with a man, we can only assume to be her husband which might make many single people envious. The two are being their best lovey-dovey selves as they mimic each other. Hareem Shah’s latest video features her copying whatever her husband is doing and laughing over it. Have a look at their ‘inappropriate video’ here:
Hareem Shah only shared initially that her husband was a politician and from the PPP. Since his identity was enshrouded in so much secrecy, many started spreading the rumour that was it was actually Bilawal! However, soon the mysterious husband was revealed to be Bilal Shah from PPP.
When asked about why Hareem Shah was silent about it for so long, she added that he was married. The couple needed the first wife’s permission to announce the marriage to the public. Now, they’re continuously posting videos with each other on social media. Have a look at what else there is on Hareem Shah’s profile with the two of them together:
Many might contend that these videos may be ‘inappropriate’. The Tiktoker shares videos with her husband where it’s visible that she might be sitting on his lap. Moreover, the two don’t shy away from public displays of affection. In today’s context, when PEMRA bans ‘intimate’ scenes – ‘hugs’ or ‘sitting-together-on-bed’ scenes – should these be allowed?
Image Source: Newsbox
It is obvious that the Tiktoker and her husband might be getting a lot of hate for the videos thus the comments are always being restricted. But they don’t budge from showing the world that they love each other – a bit too much! In that case, all is fair in love and war. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
Akshay Kumar plays Raju again, while Paresh Rawal returns as the wacky Baburao Ganpatrao Apte and Suniel Shetty as the practical Shyam.
The only reason you would not have heard about yesterday will be if you were intentionally blocking all the fireworks sounds and the meme war. Otherwise, you would know of the classic win against India that Pakistan scored. Neither did the Pakistan cricket team let them score more than 151 runs but the team was also able to achieve the target with 0 outs. We made history in the T20 World Cup and somehow netizens have found Akshay Kumar to be blamed.
The match was held on 24th October. It will go down in history and will be used numerous times as brands make TVCs for the next world cup. When India was batting, Pakistan was quick to take wickets. However, Pakistanis were still on edge because with Pakistan, you never know. However, the hope strengthened, and eventually, we were able to win. Someone decided to make a meme for fun and Indians, probably looking for someone to vent on, quickly took it up.
The meme was fact-based. Considering how Shahrukh Khan (SRK) is in the negative light these days in the Indian media, he was aptly used. The netizen said that in 2007 when SRK came to see the World Cup match of Pakistan and India, the latter won.
And now that it was Akshay Kumar who went to see the match this year, Pakistan won. The tweet labeled Akshay as ‘panauti’.
2007: SRK came to see match, India Won the T20 WC by defeating Pakistan
2021: jinx Akshay Kumar came to see match, India lost the match against Pak
People even brought up past references of how he was bad luck when he went to see women’s cricket match in Leeds, and the team lost the final. History was clearly rewritten.
The best part though was most definitely him leaving the match midway when it was clear there is no avenue of catching up. Could the scene be similar to this?
People were terming him a bigot. Well, considering the hard work and effort he has put in to make a name for himself and of course, being a good luck charm for us, we sincerely hope, Indian media will not be too harsh.
I mean, you cannot just blame your cricketer’s incompetence on an actor, right?
Remember this bigot next time you watch his movies Remembering the great fcking pervert reformer and Hinduism expert @akshaykumar who will soon pretend as #Prithviraj.
The T20 World Cup has taken people through a roller coaster of emotions. A lot of the matches have been quite hectic and amazing. However, for the people of Pakistan, the most recent one has been the most anticipated. In the most recent Pakistan v India match, Pakistan has scored a historic victory! With as much effort as they have put in this match, there is no doubt that they are going to go far.
Until yesterday, we were still unsure of who was going to win. Yet, we had our love and support directed towards the Pakistani cricket team. They have outshone themselves before and it has been quite spectacular. However, victory against India had become rarer in the last couple of years. After today, that situation is no longer true. The tides have changed and the dynamics have been altered.
The match started off with India at the batting end. However, it seems they had a shaky start, losing three wickets in the initial section of the game. Rohit Sharma was said to be one of the wild cards in the game but he left the field quite early. After their innings were over, Pakistan was given a target of 152 to achieve.
Believe it or not, the team reached the target without losing any of their wickets. That is right, India lost and Pakistan won with their openers still playing at the helm. The victory is an impressive one for Pakistan and the fans are nothing but joyous right now.
Twitter has completely exploded and you might want to have a look!
As you can see, the victory has produced quite a lot of memes as well as praise. It gives us hope that the rest of the matches of Pakistan can go quite well as well.
We wish the Pakistan cricket team the best of luck for their future matches and we will be by their side with full support. Let’s bring the trophy home, everyone!
Have you geared up for the match of the year? If not, you don’t have much time left as the match will air at 7 pm Pakistan time. Call your friends and family, set up a place in your house, and stock up on your favorite snacks. But if you want to make the most of it, head out for a screen display to have the most fun with the strangers over your shared love for the #PakVsInd match.

The day has finally arrived. It might not be the day of judgment for all of us, but for Indian and Pakistani cricket teams, it sure is. The fire was already ignited as soon as the match was announced between India and Pakistan. Rest assured, we knew what was about to come. Today, India and Pakistan are all set to face each other in Dubai’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.
From big screening displays to brands offering food discounts, the party has sure started. The #PakvsInd is trending on #1 on Twitter. While both countries wait for the fate of their respective teams, the public will be biting their nails glued to their screens. However, the best part about the building up tension is the meme game which has already started.
Pakistan-India Match – Things Are ‘Bout To Get Serious
Over the years, several memes from the India-Pak cricket matches have gone viral on social media. The most recent example is from the ICC ODI World Cup 2019.
Momin Saqib, the man behind the ‘maaro mujhe maaro’ reaction from the match, was featured in another video. “Kya aap tayyar hai jazbaat se bharpoor Pak-Bharat ka match? Do hi toh match hain. Ek Pakistan India ka aur dusra Aamir Khan ka Lagaan movie wala,” he said in the video.
Saqib’s meltdown from the 2019 World Cup had become a sensation on social media, and even to this day, he is recognized as the ‘maaro mujhe maaro’ fan.
While the teams are busy preparing for the match, the public is busy sharing memes and coming up with solid comebacks. The memes sure are adding fuel to the fire while providing a hint of humor to tone down the tension.
The Pakistan and India matches will definitely go down in history. Every match tends to give us a gold mine of memes and laugh-worthy content. Similarly, some of the old memes are revived for today’s Pakistan VS India match.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane before we get some more content ahead of the match.
Just as the first ball after the rain delay was about to be bowled, the veteran wicketkeeper was seen yawning. And surely, the internet did not spare him.
With an increase in new channels popping up and a horde of fresh talent emerging in the entertainment industry from actors to television writers, it seems we have finally reached the point where we can actually start being proud of what our entertainment industry is churning out.
With Internet being dubbed as one of the most powerful tools that we have now, any issue that would take days to reach the audience, now just takes seconds to reach a global audience through Facebook and Twitter.
Humsafar might have been a fan favorite because of Fawad Khan but it failed to do make any serious mark in the entertainment industry, except the fact that its title song gained the unknown popular singer a platform to launch her career and its lead actors and actresses a few more jobs. But that was about it!
Never before had our entertainment industry bothered to tackle a social issue or a taboo subject in their dramas instead, they all stuck to the tried and tested, saas- bahu formulas or tragic love tales that were bound to get them quick ratings and a forgettable drama serial.
It seems like the formula has lost its charm as more and more dramas now being aired, are focusing more on social issues that no one dares to talk about otherwise! Child sexual abuse, third gender, domestic abuse in Pakistani families, are some of the taboo subjects that are now being raised.
Here we have a look at some of the bold Pakistani dramas that have been making headlines for all the right reasons.
1. Udaari
With a stellar cast that included some of the big names of the entertainment industry such as Samiya Mumtaz, Bushra Ansari, Ahsan Khan and Urwa Hocane, this drama was dubbed as one of the most interesting and thought-provoking dramas.
Directed by Momina Duraid who previously was responsible for some of the most tragic love tales, namely Humsafar, was the mastermind behind Udaari. Focusing on the topic of child abuse, something that people in Pakistan are not comfortable with addressing or even acknowledging, this drama portrayed it with much class and managed to stand out!
From Ahsan Khan’s powerful performance as a pedophile to Farhan Saeed’s strong portrayal of a lawyer, the cast did ultimate justice to their roles, making Udaari a must watch.
When was the last time there was talk about third gender out in the open in Pakistan without people feeling uncomfortable? Probably never.
Khuda Mera Bhi Hai focuses on the third gender that is more or less shunned by the majority of the Pakistani mindset and the life for them.
With a very strong storyline and a cast that includes Aisha Khan, Jibran Syed, Samina Peerzada and Irsa Ghazal, Khuda Mera Bhi Hai’ on ARY Digital is all set to hit the right chords. It might just about get even bigger than Udaari in a step towards highlighting one of the highly tabooed social aspects of our society.
Watch teaser below:
What does a family do if the born child is a hermaphrodite? It showcases just exactly what a couple goes through and how the society treats them when they give birth to a transgender baby.
Written by Asma Nabeel and directed by Shahid Shafat, the drama is bound to speak volumes by touching upon this bold topic.
Directed by Yasir Nawaz and written by Sameera Fazal, Chup Raho can be dubbed as one of the first few dramas that dared to highlight sexuality on our television screens!
The drama talks about one of the forbidden issues which are always swept aside for the sake of family name i.e. sexual abuse and the reputation of the girl that is ruined despite the wrongdoing of others.
Sajjal Ali’s moving performance in the drama along with Jibran Syed, Arjumand Rahim, Feroz Khan and Shaheen Khan’s powerful acting will keep you hooked!
Sajjal plays the role of a woman who gets raped by her brother in law but is forced to stay mum about it for the sake of not ruining her sister’s marriage, who is coincidentally married to the guy who sexually abuses her.
Illteja is an upcoming drama that talks about Down syndrome and the problems that come with raising a child suffering from it.
The strong message in the drama convinced Tooba to return to TV.
Tooba Siddiqui makes a comeback to the silver screen with this drama that is all set to air this December on ARY Digital where she portrays a woman who has a son, suffering from Down syndrome and the struggles that come raising a kid without any support from the family.
5. Saanp Seerhi
Umera Ahmed has long been a name associated with the Pakistani drama industry ever since Maat and Zindagi Gulzar Hai became some of the most watched television series.

Be it humongous mountains topped with ice or breathtaking meadows filled with beautiful flowers and greenery, Pakistan has it all. You will be surprised by how much of Pakistan you haven’t seen yet. So, prepare to be awestruck by the sheer beauty of Pakistan in these magical places mentioned below:
Ansoo Lake

Mesmerized by the view and thinking where it is? No, it is not in France. It is in our very own Pakistan. Located in the Kaghan Valley Mansehra District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Ansoo Lake has been there for ages, waiting for the people to unveil the beauty of this very distinct lake. Wondering why is it called an Ansoo Lake? The lake, surrounded by ice, forms a human eye when looked from a distance, which made the locals call it as an ‘Ansoo Lake’.
Gasherbrum Glacier
If you are an ice aficionado and if just merely looking at the mountains topped with ice makes you feel giddy, Gasherbrum Glacier is your to-go place. Gasherbrum is a remote group of peaks located at the north-eastern end of the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram Range of the Himalaya on the border of the Chinese-administered Shaksgam Valley and the Gilgit-Baltistan territory of Pakistan. The name ‘Gasherbrum’ in our local language stands for a ‘beautiful mountain’ with “rgasha” meaning beautiful and “brum” meaning mountain.
Kachura Lake
Dreaming about the blue skies and crystal clear water of Malaysia but don’t have the resources to enjoy a fun-filled vacation over there? We offer you something which is very dreamy yet very affordable. Don’t believe us? Look at this.

The Kachura lakes are two lakes in the Skardu District of Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. The lakes, at 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) in elevation, are Upper Kachura Lake and Lower Kachura Lake. The latter is also known as Shangrila Lake and is within a tourist resort named Shangrila Resort outside the town of Skardu.
Terraced Fields of Hunza
Want a mythical yet mystical view after all the mountainous beauty and clear waters? Then, you will be amazed to know that we have Hunza Terraced Fields on the list next.
Inspired by the mythical valley of Shangri-la in James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon, the terraced fields of Hunza is truly a magnificent sight to behold.
Borith Lake
Yet another lake-y spot. We can’t help it but we have so many beautiful and versatile spots and we want you all to really see Pakistan is all its goodness. So here is yet another reason to love Pakistan.

Surrounded by mountains from all sides, Borith Lake is situated in Gilgit-Baltistan. Borith is a hamlet in the surroundings of the Borith Lake to the northwest of Husseini, a village near Gulmit, Gojal, in the upper Hunza. The altitude of Borith is roughly 2,600 m (8,500 feet) above sea level. In all its glory, Borith is the perfect place to go camping and have your ‘Yeh Jawani hai Deewani’ moment.
Leepa Valley
You know how they say that Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder? Well, we strongly believe that beauty lies in the Leepa Valley.

The Leepa Valley is in Azad Kashmir, which is the Pakistani-administered part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir now in Pakistan. It is located 105 kilometres (65 mi) from Muzaffarabad. No matter how dangerous this place I believed to be, this view is worth dying for.
Lake Saif ul Mulook
Do you want to have your ‘Zindagi Na Miley Gi Dobara’ type moment with your close friends? Lake Saif ul Mulk is your place then.

A mountainous lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley, Saif ul Mulk Lake is located near the town of Naran. It is in the north-east of Mansehra District in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. At an elevation of 3,224 m (10,578 feet) above sea level, it is well above the tree line and is one of the highest lakes in Pakistan. Also with the cute little wooden boats available at the lake, your best bet is to go in the middle of the lake with the lanterns lit and have a good night with just your loved ones and the nature. I am sure the peaceful environment will grow on you.
Shogran Valley
Does this look like New Zealand to you? Then I would be glad to tell you that we have a little New Zealand hidden inside Pakistan as well.
Shogran is a village situated on a green plateau in the Kaghan Valley, northern Pakistan at a height of 7,749 feet or 2,362 metres above sea level. Shogran is located at a distance of 34 km away from Balakot. The road from Islamabad to Kiwai is metalled and measures 212 km. From Shogran, you can ride a jeep or horse or hike to several picturesque places like Siri, Paye, Makra Peak and the well-known Shogran Valley.
K-2
Want to know how our dream vacation place looks like? Good think I have a very real yet very dreamy picture to go with it.
K2, also known as Chhogori/Qogir, Ketu/Kechu, and Mount Godwin-Austen, is the second highest mountain in the world at 8,611 metres (28,251 ft), after Mount Everest. It is located on the border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit–Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Xinjiang, China.
While the mountain is very difficult to climb with a high fatality rate especially in the winters, we wouldn’t mind just sitting by the narrow lake shown in the picture and admire the glorious sight in front of us. Who would?
Sonmiani Beach:

This looks like a beach in Karachi, doesn’t it? Only less polluted and less populated! Well, the Sonmiani Beach is not in Karachi but very close to Karachi. With only a two-hour drive from Karachi, this beach is located in the Lasbela District of the Balochistan state of Pakistan. It lies in the Sonmiani Bay and is very popular amongst tourists.
11. Hunza River
You just can’t go on a Pakistan tour and miss this spot. It is a MUST go!
Hunza River is a perfect spot to have a relaxing day with your loved ones. Hunza River is the main river in Hunza. It is joined by the Gilgit River and the Naltar River before it flows into the Indus River.
12. Kalam Valley

Amazed by the view at night? Well, it looks even better when you see it in person. Kalam Valley, situated in Kalam, Swat, is a famous tourist spot for foreigners. It is usually cool in the summers as well and is is surrounded by lush green hills, thick forests and bestowed with mesmeric lakes, meadows and waterfalls which are worth seen landscapes.
13. Mahodand Lake

If you love marine life and you want to be at a quiet place, just observing the marvels that nature holds, you should visit Mahodand Lake. Mahodand Lake, also known as the Lake of Fishes, is a lake about 40 km from Kalam, in the Usho Valley of Swat District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northwestern Pakistan. It is accessible with a four-wheel drive vehicle and is a good resort for fishing, boating and rafting.
14. Manthoka Waterfall
Next on our list is the tourist’s favourite spot.

Manthora Waterfall is all you dream about when you plan a vacation. It has a height of about 180 feet. The waterfall looks eye-catching and famous for its picturesque and spectacular landscape. The place is awesome and ideal for camping and fishing.
15. Skardu Desert
This is the place where the sky meets the earth. Or so it looks like it does. Those who venture the K-2, the second highest mountain after Everest – but much more difficult to scale than Everest, pass through the last major town of Pakistan, Skardu. Located at an altitude of around 8,200 feet in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, Skardu leads the way to five of the fourteen eight-thousanders of the world, both in the Karakorum and Hindu Kush mountain ranges. Adventurous isn’t it? Also, the desert is known as the coldest desert. Yes, the desert that makes you shiver with blowing cold winds, not sweat with hot winds as we usually do in the normal deserts located anywhere in the world.
There, we have it all listed out for you with minutest of the details available and we hope you would really go backpacking to have the times of your lives. Don’t forget to let us know your experiences/memories related to the above-mentioned places in the comments below.
If you are willing to buy a car, affordability in terms of price and maintenance is on priority. In Pakistan, where middle class makes most of the population, people look for vehicles that, along with fulfilling their needs, are easy on the pockets too. The average income earners in Pakistan are likely to spend up to 10 lacs for purchasing a new inexpensive car, and automobile manufacturers cater to this specified target audience since we see a variety of reasonably priced cars running on the roads.
We have come up with a list of 5 best affordable cars in Pakistan, falling within the 10 lacs range.
1. Suzuki Mehran
The highest selling car in Pakistan, Suzuki Mehran is the number one choice for majority of the customers for over a decade now. This low budget car is best in terms of durability when running on uneven roads. Also, it is very cost effective in terms of fuel consumption and availability of spare parts.
Mehran is simplest by design, but gives better mileage (18 KM on highways & 16 KM in cities) and better resale to the owner. The exterior of Suzuki Mehran 2016 model has been modified with the addition of sun roof. The four variants of Suzuki Mehran having 796cc OHC engines are available at following prices in six different colors.
Mehran VX: Rs. 625,000
Mehran VX CNG: Rs. 695,000
Mehran VXR: Rs. 678,000
Mehran VXR CNG: Rs. 748,000
2. Hyundai Santro
Hyundai Santro is a car with a luxurious interior and metallic touch exterior at a very economical price. It is available in different models with slight variation of specs but the latest model Hyundai Santro Xing is a 1086 cc car with mileage 10-12 KM per liter. Priced at just PKR 675,000 this car is providing the best quality at a very low cost.
The interior and exterior of Santro Xing has been slightly modified; the safety features (crumple zones and child locks) have been added after testing. This particular aspect was missing in the previous models.
The 660 cc Suzuki Alto is surprisingly one of the most searched cars in Pakistan since April 2015. It’s high level performance with safety and comfort appeal to the customers are some of the highlights of the car.
The interior and exterior of the 2016 model of this car is smarter; with this improvement, it is undoubtedly the best combination of advanced and safe technology at a price tag of less than 1 million. The new 2016 model of Suzuki Alto is available around PKR 700,000, having mileage capacity of 37 KM per liter.
4. Daihatsu Cuore
With the metallic exterior finish and cutting edge features, Daihatsu Curore is a luxury available at a low price, imported from Japan’s Toyota Indus Motors Company (Ltd). The latest 2016 model of Cuore is powered with 660cc engine that gives an excellent performance and mileage.
This car gives you a pure driving comfort and smoothly runs on all kinds of roads in Pakistan; the price ranges between PKR 800,000 to 1 million. Daihatsu Cuore is the best Japanese Imported car at a very reasonable rate.
5. Suzuki Cultus
Suzuki Cultus has been added to this list as it is just fractionally above the 10 lacs mark. It’s bigger than Mehran and reckoned as the best family car available within this budget. One of the best features of this car is that the transmission is manual; however it can be changed to automatic.
The 1000cc Suzuki Cultus is a perfect combo of class and comfort to run smoothly on the roads. Introduced in 2007, it got a series of cosmetic upgrades in terms of exterior in 2013 and now with an engine upgrade, its latest model Suzuki Cultus Euro 2016 is available at a price of PKR 1,034,000 while the CNG Model is available at PKR 1,109,000.

As the days go by, the spirit of cricket strengthens among people. They may not be the most enthusiastic about the other matches, but they want to watch one match. Yes, we are talking about the upcoming one between Pakistan and India in the T20 world cup. Even in the past, whenever these two have collided with each other, the hype has been enormous. Whether you are a fan or not, you might still tune in to get updates on the match. So, amidst all of this, who is going to take the victory? Who should be the rightful winners of this match?
The odds can be quite even but each team has its own advantage. Where one may have a stronger bowling line-up, the other may have a batting advantage. Despite there being so many memes and jokes, people would still love to see these teams go head to head. Pakistan has had quite a run and so has India. Both have produced some of the greatest players of history.
Help me pick one of the following for tomorrow evening: 1) Pak vs India T20 2) Friend's Walima
As you can see, there has been a lot of hype surrounding this match. People want to see who comes up as the clear winner here.
Just realised I have seen every single Pak vs India WC match (T20 + ODI). Those 3 losses in the 90s were the toughest to digest given how often Pakistan used to defeat India outside of the WCs.
Even in the news, players of the Pakistani cricket team can be seen practising and training. They want to make sure that they win, and they will go far. The players have made up their minds in accordance with what they are going to face in India.
When looking at the lineup of India, there have been many discussions on it. It seems that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the key players against our team. We have to be prepared for anything India is going to offer, including the ability to tackle these two.
Here, we can see that Shoaib Akhtar has expressed his opinions and outlook on the upcoming match. He is considered one of the best cricket players in the world. His bowling speed record remains unbroken!
#PakVsInd Spirits are high game on hai Pak is all set to win Inshallah
We read and watch all this and we are headed towards the match. It is going to be streamed in quite a lot of locations in Karachi so don’t forget to tune in or reach your venue on time!
