8 Affordable Things You Can Gift To Your Loved Ones If You're Broke — Image source: https://liveblogspot.com/

Gifts are an essential part of people’s love language. If you want to show how much someone matters to you, giving them a small gift is a gesture that leaves behind a significant impact. Gifts are also crucial for anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, and other occasions to remind your loved ones how much you value them. However, with rising inflation and the number of bills you have to pay, it becomes hard to splurge on gifts. Yet that shouldn’t stop you from spoiling your loved ones.

Since gifts are more about a gesture and less about the amount of money you have spent, it is totally fine if you can’t afford a huge surprise. Today, we are here at your rescue if you feel a little lost on what to gift your loved ones in case you are running out of the budget of under PKR 1000.

1. Notebook

A notebook is one of the most basic yet meaningful things you can gift someone. A pretty notebook or even a customised one will remind the person about you whenever they write on it. And what is better than being in the memory of someone you love the most?

2. Flowers

Flowers are one of the most beautiful things on mother earth. To date, people love receiving flowers even if they don’t say so. Getting a big fancy basket might be a little out of budget, but it doesn’t take much to spend on a decent small sized bouquet or even a few stems. At the end of the day, it’s the gesture that matters.

3. Candles

The candle market in Pakistan has boomed a lot lately. Many brands have come out with a variety of flavours and that too, of different sizes to cater to your taste. All you need to know is what kind of smell that person likes. And don’t forget to slip in a note that says, “Whenever you miss me, light up the candle, and I will be thinking of you too.”

4. Hand-Made Products

Hand made stuff, be it cards or a food item you baked yourself, can be the best thing you can gift someone. If you are crafty, get your brain cells working and come up with a decent idea or take notes from the internet on designing a gift box or gift card yourself.

5. Chocolates

Who doesn’t like chocolates? It is a gift that never goes out of style. However, bring a twist to the chocolates and arrange them in a bouquet or basket to make them look and feel even more presentable.

6. A Tumbler

If you know a tea or coffee lover, how about gifting them a mug or a tumbler that could be customised. And in case, you can’t get a customised one, give them a mug in their favourite colour so every time they have a cup of tea or coffee, it feels even more heartwarming thanks to your gesture.

7. Jewellery

Numerous Pakistani brands offer a variety of customised jewellery pieces. If you know someone who likes to wear small statement pieces, get them a customised necklace or a ring which could make the perfect meaningful gift for an occasion.

8. Body Mist

Know a perfume hoarder who would try anything to add another piece to their collection? Get them a decent mist to bring a huge smile to their faces because people love to get stuff they tend to collect themselves.

Does the list give you an idea if what the next gift you buy is going to be? Let us know in the comments!

Air Force Day: 8 Brave Female PAF Pilots Who Reached For The Skies

Sep 7, 2021

Women have had to struggle quite a lot in terms of achieving their dreams. This is because in our country that is based on patriarchy, in order to exercise power, men would rarely allow women to enter a number of fields. But through constant struggle, women were able to get to where they wanted. Hence, this Air Force Day, we would like to pay tribute to the PAF pilots of the Pakistan Air Force who did not shy away because they were the only female batch mate and made us proud.

1. Ayesha Farooq

Even before Marium Mukhtar, Ayesha Farooq was the first pilot ready to fight for the sanctity of Pakistan. She was also part of the operation, Zarb e Azb, and as part of it, she bombed numerous Taliban hideouts as well in North Waziristan. Being the first fighter pilot, she was the role model of many, including Marium Mukhtar.

2. Saba Khan

Saba Khan belonged to the first batch of female pilots. Earlier, it used to be just an Ayesha Farooq or a Marium Mukhtar amongst numerous male pilots in a batch.

3. Nadia Gul

Nadia Gul was in the same squad as Saba Khan. They were a part of the 36 aviation cadets’ groups. In her mid-thirties now and still part of the airforce, Nadia shared, back when she was 26, that once she even blacked out for a few seconds but soon her survival instincts jumpstarted.

4. Marium Mukhtiar

After Ayesha Farooq, Marium Mukhtiar was the nation’s rising fighter pilot. She was ready to be the proud fighter pilot but achieved martyrdom while being on an operational training mission. Her jet crashed near Mianwali.

5. Mariam Khalil

After rigorous training of 3 and a half years, Mariam Khalil joined Saba Khan and Nadia Gul in an all-male bastion of PAF.

6. Saira Batool

Saira was the fourth member of the Saba Khan’s squad. The airforce pilot belongs to the Hazara community breaking even further barriers for the inspired girls belonging to Hazara.

7. Sharista Baig

Sharista Baig became the first female GD fighter pilot belonging to Gilgit Baltistan. She is the daughter of Col. Mahmud Baig. Her father too is the first GD fighter pilot from Gilgit Baltistan.

8. Kainat Junaid

Daughter of a squadron leader, Kainat is the first fighter pilot from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Marium Mukhtar as her role model, Kainat is all set to conquer the skies.

Much progress is being made on this avenue. In fact, just recently, a daughter of a traffic warden from Karachi was also selected to be part of GD pilot training. So yes, efforts are being made to give women the space to excel. And considering, we were named in Guinness World record as a country that had the first hijabi commercial pilot, women can totally excel and keep making us proud. Hopefully, the next Air Force Day will witness more female pilots in the PAF.

Sep 7, 2021

Karachi, Pakistan (September 2, 2021): Cargill, the world’s premier agriculture and food processing corporation, has collaborated with Rizq to establish Pakistan’s first-ever Cargill-RizqBank in Lyari Karachi. The Cargill-Rizq ecosystem will work to create a food secure community, reduce food wastage and serve about 200,000 meals annually in the community.

The RizqBanks are storage facilities to save and channelize fresh and dry food. It also empowers and educates the community members and partner agencies with training and workshops. It will contribute with its four key services, RizqDaig, RizqRation, RizqBachao and Rizq Future Generation Program to end food insecurity and hunger in the Lyari.

Under RizqDaiq, food will be distributed within the community on a daily basis. RizqRation will identify and deliver monthly food supplies to food-insecure families. The RizqBachao initiative looks into the collection, storage and distribution of excess food to low-income households. Lastly, the Rizq Future Generation Program, under which volunteer programs are deployed compromising of the youth from schools and universities to support activities of zero waste and a hunger-free Pakistan.

Commenting on the partnership, Imran Nasrullah, President, Cargill Pakistan, said, “Like many developing countries, Pakistan faces a food security crisis where millions of families go to bed hungry every day. The Covid19 pandemic has further exacerbated the situation to alarming levels. Cargill is proud to partner with Rizq in establishing the RizqBank ecosystem which will ensure that no family will ever have to go to sleep hungry.”

Phase Two of the program sees the establishment of the Rizq XChange which is a collaborative effort of different stakeholders to mobilize resources to create a hunger-free nation. The Rizq XChange, backed by its cloud-food banking technology, will connect a consortium of stakeholders which includes (but is not limited to) NGOs, corporations, schools, restaurants, hospitals, and universities as well as volunteer programs from all walks of society to reach verified beneficiaries in real-time through a nationwide network of RizqBanks.

Rizq XChange platform will be a true depiction of connectivity, measurable impact, and transparency of food philanthropy in Pakistan. The establishment of a RizqBank in Lyari, Karachi will effectively serve as a roadmap for interested stakeholders to come together and further create self-sustaining communities across the nation.

This model once established in Lyari, Karachi will also be cascaded at key locations nationwide through this partnership. The establishment of a RizqBank in Lyari, Karachi will effectively serve as a roadmap for interested stakeholders to come together and further create self-sustaining communities across the nation.

Expressing his opinion on the collaboration, CEO Rizq Mr. Musa Aamir said, “We are thankful to Cargill Pakistan for joining with Rizq on its mission to make a hunger-free Pakistan. This partnership has enabled our collective measures to reach broader communities and empower them with food security in a very short period of time. The day is not far when every household in Pakistan will be food-secure and no growth will be stunted.”

IBDP And Its Impact On University Admissions

Sep 7, 2021

Scholarly and peer-reviewed research on the IBDP and its impact on university admission rates globally has confirmed for decades that there is a strong correlation between IBDP graduates and their success rates for entering colleges and universities both nationally and internationally (Bunnell, 2015; Lai, Shum, & Zhang, 2014; Wright, Lee & Feng, 2018). Dr. Wootten, HoS at BNI stresses, “IBDP teaching at Beaconhouse Newlands Islamabad is data-driven, student-centered, and delivered in classes with a small student to teacher ratio”.

Decision-makers who reside over selection committee panels of higher education institutions prefer IBDP graduates because they bring qualifications related to critical thinking skills (Resnik, 2018), acquired research techniques including theory building and mixed methods (Fitzgerald, 2015), and a deep understanding of global citizenship and international-mindedness (van Oord, 2018; Walker, Lee, & Bryant, 2015). This is equally the case for the newly introduced IBCP, the Career-related Certificate (Hill, 2018).

The cited and acknowledged background for this established trend is the compulsory CORE (Extended Essay [EE] of a transdisciplinary focus of 4000 words, Creativity, Action & Service [CAS], and the course, Theory of Knowledge [ToK] (Fitzgerald, 2015). Sold connections to applied real-life learning scenarios are underpinned throughout the IBDP curriculum (Hill & Saxton, 2018; Wootten, 2017).

It is expected to begin officially on October 1st and they have just revealed two major attractions alongside events. Here’s all that you can not afford to miss.

1. The Reverse Waterfall

One of the attractions just revealed at the Expo 2020 site defies gravity. Organisers have announced a man-made waterfall that will flow upwards rather than downwards. Expo 2020 has created this waterfall as part of their water feature. This waterfall will also have an orchestral score from the award-winning composer of the Game of Thrones theme music.

The organisers added, “Experience giant sheets of water tumbling down 13-metre-high vertical walls. By day, they cascade into a mysterious, multi-hued circle of fire, and by night, defy gravity by flowing upwards”.

2. Garden In The Sky

The second attraction which has been revealed is the Garden In The Sky. It is a 55-metre garden literally in the sky in the observation tower. It gives a 260-degree view of the entire EXPO 2020 Dubai site. Located in Jubilee Park, the tower’s upper floor is planted with 10 Peltophorum inerme trees. These trees are also known as yellow flame trees. Can you believe the wonders going on here?

3. Kaleidoscope

This is an event that will happen every night at Expo 2020. There will be spectacular light projections that will wow the crowds. Using light sculptures, art projections and installations, buildings will be illuminated in different hues. The kaleidoscope-like environment will take you to another world.

4. Parade – Colours of the World

This is another event that will happen daily. Ghaf Avenue will have this event every day at 12:45PM in which each country participating will have their flag raised. It will be a unique celebration of the diversity the Expo will bring.

5. Halloween

How can Dubai Expo 2020 take place in October and not celebrate Halloween? It will be celebrated on 31st October and a special Irish folk band will be called for the Halloween event. Though no further details have been released so far, we expect a requirement for everyone to dress the part.

Expo’s single-day ticket costs AED 95, 30-day pass is AED 195 and the season pass for 6 months is AED 495.

Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt’s little munchkin, Amal Muneeb, has gathered her own fanbase as of late. The tiny celebrity is as adorable as kids come and netizens are always happy to see her content on her parents’ profiles. Now, Amal Muneeb has turned two and the celebrations were nothing short of extravagant. However, netizens have noticed something a little unusual…

Amal Muneeb’s Birthday

Amal Muneeb is a princess and then some! This baby celebrity has her own fans because of how adorable and playful she looks in all her videos. The diva turned two a day ago and her birthday bash pictures took over the internet. The cutest videos have to be of a surprise sing-along for her birthday at 12 at night and her reaction to it! How can we not be obsessed?

The next day, Amal Muneeb had her very lavish birthday party surrounded by her family and other little friends. The guest list also included some other stars who came with their own little ones.

Netizens Point Out Something

However, under the pictures celebrating Amal Muneeb, netizens are wondering something. They’re all wondering why Muneeb Butt is rarely with his own family. At the time of the cake cutting, besides themselves, there is Aiman Khan’s family!

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Instant Lollywood (@instant_lollywood)

Netizens keep asking where the in-laws of Aiman Khan are. Since Amal Muneeb is rarely seen with her dada and dado, netizens were bound to ask these questions. Here are some of the comments that show netizens’ curiosity regarding Muneeb Butt’s family.

There’s more!

Severed Family Ties?

Muneeb Butt has rarely ever mentioned a strained relationship with his family. The actor is not really an open-book and most of his interviews tend to go in the direction of his career, wife or child. People have seldom questioned him on this unusual thing before. Could it be that the actor has strained or possibly even severed ties with his own family?

A post shared by Free Palastine 🇵🇸 (@showbizfamily)

Not everyone has the luxury of a family who understands your motivations and aspirations and supports you with them. In many cases, many stars have had to go against their family’s wishes when they chose their careers.

Our guesses are that Muneeb Butt’s family was not all too agreeing with his choice of career. The reality may be different or it simply may be that his family doesn’t want to be in the limelight. Regardless, we wish the coming year brings even more joy to Amal Muneeb.

Quetta, 06 Sep 2021: Digital Libas, a remote work providing social enterprise from Quetta, is the winner of the SDG Bootcamp for Social Enterprises organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Jazz in Balochistan. The social enterprise will now participate in the national level SDG Bootcamp competition to be held later this year.

The runners up included Sustainable Design Studio, which provides green and sustainable design and architectural services to residential and commercial projects; and Rangoon Café, which seeks to establish a safe and productive space for people of different sects, cultures, and economic classes to interact and reduce discrimination in the region. Participants of the bootcamp learnt a variety of modules on how to market, scale up, and pitch their startups to potential investors.

Held online, the five-day bootcamp aimed at promoting social entrepreneurship and strengthening the startup ecosystem in the country. Ten social enterprises from Balochistan took part in the bootcamp, with nearly half of the participants being women. While majority of the participants were from Quetta, two enterprises took part from Mastung and Kalat as well. These social enterprises were trained in four modules: SDGs; Branding and Customer Engagement; Marketing and Digital Transformation; and Financial Management, Feasibility and Scaling.

Speaking during the session, Amir Goraya, Assistant Resident Representative, UNDP Pakistan said, ‘Pakistan is one of the youngest countries in the world. With youth unemployment standing at 8.54%, we need to find innovative solutions to help youth find ways to earn a decent living. Entrepreneurship presents a great opportunity for young people to use their skills and talents to develop their own business; social entrepreneurship goes even further and presents youth with a chance to play a lead role in talking development challenges of the country through leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship.’

Syed Fakhar Ahmed, Chief Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Officer, Jazz commented, “As a leader in digital technology, it is our duty to provide young people with a platform to succeed. I would like to congratulate the top three startups from Balochistan and hope they now implement the valuable lessons learnt and scale up their solution to make a positive impact on society.”

In December 2020, Jazz inked an agreement with UNDP’s Youth Empowerment Programme to conduct 20 bootcamps across Pakistan. Around 400 youth are expected to participate in the bootcamps this year, with 400 more planned for 2022. The focus will be on enterprises that relate to any of the Sustainable Development Goals, with 50% women participation. The most promising social venture ideas will be promoted at the international level and mentored by industry experts to further flourish their enterprises.

UNDP through Youth Empowerment Programme supports the Government of Pakistan in developing innovative and sustainable entry points for social engagement and economic empowerment of young Pakistanis. One of the key components of the Programme is to support youth entrepreneurship which not only empowers young people economically, but also spurs change and ensures inclusive development of the country. Through the SDG Bootcamps, UNDP and Jazz will be improving the startup ecosystem of the country and enabling youth to practically explore their innovative ideas and develop skills needed to succeed in the space.

Javed Afridi Speaks Up After Girls Share Their Experience With ‘Haier’

Known for much more, Javed Afridi is currently going viral for responding to a girl on Twitter who was tweeting about her experience with Haier. The girl accused the brand of gender discrimination amongst its customers. According to her account, she went to someone that she assumed to be a representative of the company who said that she would not be able to buy a product on instalments because she is a woman.

Alleged gender discrimination

The netizen complained that she finally felt stable in her life with a job, accommodation, and utility bills. But of course, to afford home appliances at a 100% payment is not possible in a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. This is why she approached the store for instalment based purchase.

She ended her complaint with how she feels upset at only men being able to buy kitchen appliances in installments when it is the women having the kitchen responsibilities.

Got a stable job, a rented home and bills for the first month sorted, only to be told by @HaierPakistan that ladiss aren’t “allowed” to buying a home appliance on instalments from the company. Kitchen ladis ka lekin fridge mard ka? Logic 🤯

— Kanza Hussan (@kanzaa_h) September 6, 2021

CEO Haier Pakistan denies allegations

CEO of Haier, Javed Afridi responded to the tweet and categorically denied the allegations. He said that the company does not have any such policy of not releasing products to women. And that is a secondary topic because the company does not even have an installment facility for the consumers. Hence, even if it was a man asking to buy a fridge in installments, the company will outright refuse the potential customer. It must come from the fact that given the facility of installments, numerous Pakistanis will avail it but never pay up.

We don’t have such company policy FYI neither we do instalment business ! Thank you

— Javed Afridi (@JAfridi10) September 6, 2021

Javed Afridi stated the facts that would let people know how Haier would not do such a thing. But the Twitter world had two differing opinions on the statement. There were some who pointed out that they did not like the CEO of Haier’s tone. They said that the tone was not consumer-friendly. In fact, if a customer was sharing an experience, even if Haier does not have such a policy, the company should follow up on who is degrading the brand’s name.

Mr Afridi, your tone is not helpful or consumer friendly. I have been a loyal Haier customer for years. I urge you to follow up on this complaint and let us know what action you have taken to remedy the situation.

— Quatrina (@QuatrinaHosain) September 6, 2021

The tone and vibe is pretty rude. He should 'haier' someone to do communication on his behalf. Glad never bought @HaierAppliances and will not buy in the future either due to the rude behavior of its owner. No use making this man rich.

— Abdul Basit Khawaja (@abdul_basitk) September 6, 2021

@JAfridi10 don't you claim that you want to take Pakistan forward. Please review this….. or you same as all the others.

— Hassaan Ul Haq (@hassaanulhaq01) September 6, 2021

But some jumped up to defend the brand’s CEO as well. They clarified that there was nothing wrong with the tone of Javed Afridi. They said that he was basically stating the rules the organization works with. Neither was he disrespectful and nor was his company discriminating against any gender.

Sep 7, 2021

Audi has become one of the most iconic brands of this and the previous generation. You know what it means when you see those signature four rings. When they appear, you know the vehicle is bound to have class as well as power. Even the Audi A3 is considered one of the best cars out there. They even have an entire sector dedicated to just electric and hybrid vehicles. If you have ever seen an audio vehicle with the words ‘E-tron’, then it’s part of the electric sector.

In light of this, sources tell us about a new unveiling. It seems that the company has decided to reveal a design to the public. It is an entirely new and wild concept that shows an electric sedan. Yes, the domain of electric cars, by Audi, is shifting towards sedans now too. Here we have another potential competitor to the Tesla sedans.

Audi With The Electric

When Audi decided to reveal the concept, it really blew a lot of people’s minds. They were working on a sedan but it wasn’t sure up till now. According to the images that have been released, there is a lot to offer to the driver when it comes to this vehicle. It could be the new electric A8 sedan. Audi’s A-series is something to marvel at. Additionally, it has been said that this design is the epitome of first-class driving.

The whole interior is quite roomy and feels quite premium. It has a lot of room to be able to fit people and it offers increased functionality. Audi really brings to life the minimal yet outclass design here. They have stated that the electric sedan is going to have a capacity of running for 750 kilometres. Additionally, it can charge from 5 to 80 percent in 25 minutes!

A Changing Era

Audi is also becoming one of those brands that plan to go green within the decade. They want their infrastructure to resemble that of a future where everything is clean and green. While this may not be the exact design of what the sedan could be, it is a good concept. It gives us an idea as to what the company could be going for.

We hope that Audi is able to construct a vehicle that resembles this one. It may take a while but the wait could be worth it, considering what it offers. We shall keep you updated as more stories develop. Right now, we find comfort in the fact that Audi is also one of the front-runners in the electric race.

Nasir Khan Accuses Alizey Shah Of Copying His Hairstyle — Image source: youtube.com

What happens when you get access to social media without the expertise and knowledge? You fall into a loophole of seeking validation through means which are relatively temporary and unconventional. However, this can also take a drastic turn if you do not know what to do. Social media is like a drug that adds fuel to the fire in the quest of becoming a star. One move and you become an overnight sensation. But what if you become a self-proclaimed celebrity only to get ridiculed by the trolls on social media, hashtag Nasir Khan Jan. Is it all worth it?

Nasir Khan Jan & His Accusations

Nasir Khan is one of those social media stars who got famous by not-so-decent maneuvers. One blatant move led him to become an overnight social media sensation, which died down soon enough, yet the self-proclaimed celebrity thinks otherwise.

Nasir Khan took to his social media to share his concerns about Alizeh Shah copying his hairstyle. Well, if Alizeh was not getting enough attention for her hairstyle already, he sure has added another detail to it. At the same time, he thinks that this kind of stuff is common among celebrities and seems to be letting it go.

Co-incidence Or Attention Seeking?

Looking at the picture closely, it does seem like that he tried to take a jab at the actress by recreating the hairstyle. Nothing less can be expected knowing that he is famous for his mindless posts.

A few days ago, Nasir Khan took to his social media to announce the news of his marriage. He also shared the pictures from his events and later deleted them due to family issues. However, by that time, the images were all over social media.

No Pakistani is unaware of the sacrifices the Pakistani Army made in the war of 1965. Similarly, no one is strange to the role Madam Noor Jahan played then. Known for blessing us with hearth wrenching yet soul-warming anthems, which gives us goosebumps to date, Noor Jahan was and will always be an icon of our nation.

Noor Jahan was not just a singer. She was also a fashion icon. She was the epitome of grace and class with her signature looks, including elaborated makeup and signature outfits.

Take a look at what he had to say;

Tribute to 🇵🇰 Pakistan Army

“Patriotism speaks for itself. Everyone has a different way of showcasing their love for their beloved country. This is my way of paying tribute to the fearless, courageous and invincible warriors of our nation. The knights who gallantly stand up to any harm that eyes our country deserve this recognition and respect from each and every one of us. Defence Day is celebrated each year in honour of such chevaliers who make the rivals think twice before striking any evil eyes towards this nation.

There is not a single ounce of doubt that Pakistani army, from the beginning till date, has always proven to be selfless and determined when it comes to catering for the country. Also, Mam Noor Jehan’s voice and her words are like a cherry on the top, enhancing the emotions of devotion and loyalty that a soldier requires on the field. And it is, in a similar manner, intensifying the sentiments of love through this video.”

Shoaib Khan’s Previous Look

This is not the first time the artist has entertained us with his recreation. He previously gave life to an iconic look of Noor Jahan on account of her death anniversary.

Considering today is September 6th, Defence Day, it was obvious that almost all Pakistani brands would be sharing posts to acknowledge that. However, not every brand would have the formula right. For instance, take a look at this campaign by Broadway:

Sep 6, 2021

We live in a country that shares the most extensive borders with its arch-rival, India. While we may strive for better relations with it, it is no secret that Pakistan needs its forces to remain vigilant and strong. As our forces ensure our safety, we need to acknowledge their bravery and root for them. And how do you ensure that? By keeping the patriotism alight within us. These songs by ISPR do a really good job with that.

Here are a few songs by ISPR that we compiled:

1. Yeh Banday Mitti kay Banday | One Year of Zarb e Azb

This song starts with a little girl held prisoner by the Taliban. During the operation of Zarb e Azb, numerous soldiers put their lives on the line to save many innocent lives. This song paid tribute to the fighters who fought to make Pakistan safer from the inside.

2. Mere Dhol Sipahiya | Ayesha Omer and Shahzad Roy

Ayesha Omar teamed up with Shahzad Roy to make this ISPR song. And if it doesn’t touch your emotional strings, then I don’t know what will.

3. Kabhi Percham Mein Lipte Hain | Atif Aslam

Atif Aslam’s voice always sends you on a roller coaster ride. And when it is to represent the sacrifice of the forces people, then, well, you feel that sacrifice.

4. Har Ghari Tayyar Kamran | Defence and Martyrs’ Day Song – 2020

Once you become a part of the forces, you will always face what is coming towards Pakistan. You are prepared to face it head-on. This song represents the passion of the forces people and how to be it army, airforce, or navy, they are ready to be the avant-garde in front of the country.

5. Ye Ghazi Ye Tere Pur Asrar Banday | Junaid Jamshed

Junaid Jamshed passed away some time ago, and so, his voice for the Pakistan army brings together much nostalgia for the viewer. With Iqbal’s words, Junaid Jamshed moves anyone who listens to it.

Have you listened to them? Did you feel goosebumps at the lyrics? If not at the lyrics, then at the music video. And if you are looking for some more feels, then you can listen to Jawad Ahmed’s ‘O Mere Yaar, Tu Mera Pyaar’. I promise you will be crying bucket loads.

Pakistani Man Forces Girl Into Performing Nikkah Via WhatsApp — Image Source: Express Tribune

A Pakistani man has been arrested in Islamabad for forcing a girl into marriage in the most unlikeliest of ways. You could never guess what people can do on messaging applications like WhatsApp. Hear all about this strange yet unfortunate case here.

Man in Islamabad forces a girl to marry him

A man in Islamabad has been arrested by the police. The reason for his arrest is that he forced a girl into marriage on WhatsApp. That is to say, he forcefully made her sign the Nikkahnama on WhatsApp. The police have so far reported that he somehow manipulated her into giving her number to him. After that, through blackmail and intimidation tactics, he was able to perform a nikkah with her forcefully all on WhatsApp.

The Islamabad Police added that the incident was brought to their notice due to the complaint of the girl. Moreover, the investigation is underway and appropriate action will be taken against the accused.

Social Media’s Harms

In February, another case went viral on social media which involved a crime using social media. At the start of 2021, a woman was accused of robbing a young boy in Karachi. The two had become friends on social media and the young boy came to Karachi on her request via a social media app.

However, the family could already sense trouble and they continued following the boy. They also had tapped his location via another app. The family intercepted them at Tariq Road and forcefully tried to take the boy away. The girl fled the scene until then. It was later discovered that she had already stolen Rs.70,000 from the boy and was demanding Rs.30,000 more.

How To Protect Children

Though these incidents have happened with young men and women alike, children are most at risk. In an ideal world, even teenagers should not be allowed to get phones. A simple Nokia one which can work well for communication should be good. However, nowadays even plenty of school work is through these social media apps— what can one do?

What we can do is educate youngsters on how people on the internet can exploit, harm, and force one to do illegal and undesirable things. They can be informed to not speak to strangers on the internet, especially to not befriend them at any cost. With such principles in mind, children can guard themselves to a great extent.

People Are Questioning Hassan Raheem’s Height & Concert Amid COVID

Hassan Raheem is the latest Gen Z sensation. He’s a doctor-in-the-making by day and a singer by night and already has a huge fandom to call his own. The singer, for many a hearth-throb, recently had a concert which was problematic for several reasons. One of those reasons was also that his height was revealed and people… are… not…. happy.

Hassan Raheem’s Concert

Hassan Raheem’s concert was apparently in LGS Paragon. This is the time each year when schools have intra-school events for which their students wait all year round. It is also the custom of hosting schools to arrange concerts during these events and call artists that would reel in a bigger crowd. This time, it was Hassan Raheem.

However, many are questioning the artist to even agree to a concert at this time. Schools were barely opened for two weeks and then shut down again yet concerts are happening freely. Reports suggest a delta variant-led surge in COVID cases in Punjab which is why this concert, at this time, was problematic.

How Tall Is He?!

One other thing that’s making Hassan Raheem even more famous and his concert gain even more publicity is his height. Yes, his height is being debated a lot. Fans on Twitter and elsewhere are shocked to find that their favourite artist is reportedly 5’5. The status quo is that height matters a lot in guys and anything below 6’ should be ignored. What to do with Hassan Raheem now?

Memes and jokes on his heights started flooding Twitter amidst these debates. Many also came to defend the star while some in the middle were asking, “who is Hassan Raheem?” Have a look!

Hassan Raheem’s Songs

If you’re new to the Hassan Raheem world, we’ll let you know of some of his bangers. One of his best creations yet is Aisay Kaisay if you’re into something slow and heavy on the vibe. Besides that, JOONA is one of his most famous songs you can listen to. Aarzu and Darr are also some of his most well-known hits. Have a listen and you never know, we might see you on the other side of this Hassan Raheem debate!

It can be a great sense of patriotism to celebrate Defence Day. Each year, on 6th September, we pay our respects to the armed forces of Pakistan. It is they, who are responsible for keeping peace in the regions. It is their brave soldiers who are standing at the border, day and night, as we sleep with peace. In light of this auspicious day, Hyundai Nishat has decided to pay homage to our national heroes. They deserve every bit of respect that they get and they deserve more. Let us dive into the spirit a little bit.

As we can see from our history, Pakistan has always had a strong-armed response to emergency situations. Their soldiers are the first to help if they are called in on an international or local matter. When the Holy Kabaa underwent a siege and capture in the 1970s, Pakistan sent SSG soldiers to free the innocent people trapped there.

Hyundai Celebrates Too

Among the many ways to celebrate this day, a video showcasing achievements is a good way to go. Despite there being a pandemic, people have found alternate ways to celebrate Defence Day. The spirit to support the armed forces of Pakistan is quite high in citizens here. In many households, there is someone who wishes to join the army or the navy or the air force and it takes a whole other level of willpower to be able to put yourself on the line.

The armed forces know what it’s like to lie down the barbed wire and let the other person crawl over you. It seems that their determination is unmatched and that is exactly how Hyundai’s recent video portrays them. As the Hyundai video starts, it talks about how these people are valiant and undeterred in the face of adversity.

Here’s the video

https://www.facebook.com/HyundaiNishat/videos/1574415116268689/

A Salute To The Worthy

Let us take a moment and ponder over how much strength it takes to stand out there, be it hot or cold. These individuals have trained in the toughest of instances and they know how to survive. You can count on them to be of assistance if, God forbid, we were to face something.

We hope that they continue to have the strength to persevere in all situations. Everyone has their own way of celebrating this day and Hyundai has surely picked a good one. The video encompasses everything and it sends a salute to these heroes. Be it the Army, Navy or Air force, all of them deserve the utmost respect.
