1965 War Explained Through Rare Newspaper Clippings & Images

1965-war

After the creation of Pakistan, The father of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah said in his speech on March 1948 in Chittagang, East Pakistan [now Bangladesh]:

“The Story of Pakistan, its struggle and its achievement, is the very story of great human ideals, struggling to survive in the face of odds and difficulties”.

Pakistan’s Defence Day [Sept.06] is one of the most vital events of Pakistan’s history. On September 6, 1965, the Indian army crossed the international borders of Pakistan without a formal declaration of War. It was a time when not just our brave soldiers but the entire nation stood up to defend the motherland and compelled the Indian Army to escape from the battlefield, eventually, a ceasefire came into effect on September 23, 1965 under the auspices of the United Nations due to an intervention of then superpowers i.e. USSR and the USA.

Those seventeen days truly portrayed what was once said by the legendary French general= Napoléon Bonaparte, “There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit”.

Here, brandsynario.com has collected a few of the observations of the international and national media as evidence of this awesome combination of sword and spirit of the Pakistani nation during the war that will refresh the war memory of the youth and old from our history:

On September 15, 1965, American Broadcasting Corporation’s Roy Malone reported that “I have been a journalist now for twenty years and want to go on record that I have never seen a more confident and victorious group of soldiers than those fighting for Pakistan, right now.”

On September 17, Time Magazine reported that “Pakistan’s small highly-trained army is more than a match for the Indians.”

According to the London Daily Mirror of September 1965 “India is being soundly beaten by a nation which is outnumbered by four and a half to one in population and three to one in the size of armed forces.”

Here are some clippings from various local and international newspapers that covered the 1965 War:

Trolls Question Nida Yasir’s Research Skills & They’re Not Coming Slow

The Twitter Is Having A Field Day After Nida Yasir Leaves The Guests Confused
Image source" https://images.dawn.com/

Do you know when they say that the internet keeps the receipts? Well, we have had a first-hand experience on this one. No one and absolutely no one can get away from the wrath of internet trolling. However, some people are more used to it than others, and Nida Yasir is one of them.

Nida Yasir has again become the victim of internet trolls thanks to her poorly researched and cringey interview. Her interview became the talk of the town after an old clip of her morning show resurfaced on the internet.

The Interview Guests 

Back in 2016, Nida invited two Nust students who invented a formula one racing car. The young men had developed the electric racing car and a group of people and were going to the Formula Student in the US. Despite being the interviewer, Nadia had no knowledge about the topic and hence started a series of dumb questions, which left the guests dumbfounded.

Please take a look at it, in case you haven’t already.

The Twitter Trolls 

As soon as the video went viral on the internet, netizens started questioning the research skills of the host. Since Nida couldn’t even comprehend the idea of a Formula car, she even went on to ask some weird questions from the guests.

However, trolls had a great time making fun, yet some were divided as to why this is such a big deal since it can happen to anyone.

Let’s take a look at a few.

Some even suggested watching the interview if you can’t watch Money Heist. However, our suggestion? Even if you have watched it and still can’t get over the tragic ending, this clip will help you move on for sure.

At the same time, someone mentioned a similar instance which will definitely leave you in fits from laughter if you weren’t already.

However, some moved on to mention that it’s not her fault that she doesn’t know anything about the car because most of us don’t know either.

Yet, at the same time, being a talk show host, it is her responsibility to be aware of the topic she ough to discuss and nonetheless do a little research.

Well, at least people had a good laugh, which is all that matters in these challenging times.

5 Brands That Probably Do Not Need To Advertise Themselves Anymore

There are brands that need not be advertising anymore. They have become a part of our lifestyle that they are either a routine for you or you have begun using them as a verb. Whether they choose to advertise or not is their act but the users worldwide are certainly aware of what these brands do and what they stand for.

Let’s take a look at some of these brands!

1. Google

“Oh, you do not understand the phenomenon? Google it!”

Read More: Mountain Dew’s Flamin’ Hot Flavour Has The Internet Divided

This is what we say when someone is confused. We replace the word search with the brand name Google. Google now stands as a synonym for searching for something on the internet. Even if you use search engines such as Bing or Yahoo, you say that you ‘googled’ it. Is there even a need to advertise Google then?

2. Facebook

Unlike Google, Facebook has not yet been associated with any verb. However, it has become a part of the routine. You do not just need it to keep in touch with your friends. All the Facebook groups that you are part of, keep you apprised of the discussions in your community or all over the world. In fact, just recently I came across a post on Facebook where a user wanted to know the latest happenings in Afghanistan from fellow netizens because she did not want to ‘google’ it.

3. Instagram

Instagram, too, is a way of life. You get up and you scroll through what your favorite idols have been up to. You get to learn about people’s opinions through the stories they post. But seeing how the platform is a way of life and how everyone feels connected whenever you bring Instagram into the conversation, other brands use it in their advertising.

Imagine Instagram seeing itself in the advertising of Diamonds Factory and that, too, creatively.

https://www.facebook.com/Synergyzer/posts/10158038467286776

4. WhatsApp

WhatsApp too gets promoted without paying for all that promotion. Don’t believe me? Do you not watch dramas? All the characters are sending each other voice notes. In fact, at times, the WhatsApp thread’s visuals are shown as well. Seeing other entities promote your product, at least I would not only be happy but realize that I don’t need to promote it anymore. Of course, where WhatsApp is concerned, the platform promoting itself would mean giving out timely updates.

5. Apple

Apple while it advertises, does not need to do so. The brand has set the mark. And now, when people need to look up something phone-related or compare their phone with (Samsung, ahem), they look up to Apple.

Feroze Khan Clears Separation Rumors With Wife Alizeh Sultan

The stellar Feroze khan is currently enjoying all the love from his fans thanks to one of his most iconic performances on Khuda and Mohabbat season 3. As if we weren’t sure about the actor’s talent, we are in awe of his recent masterpiece.

Thankfully he graced our screen in a recent interview appearance with Tabish Hashmi, and safe to say that the actor clarified a lot of rumors which have been going around for quite some time now.

Feroze Khan Separation Rumors 

The rumors of Feroze and Alizeh’s separation started back in late 2020. However, it was only recently that the actor clarified everything. Previously, a lot of speculations were made about the relationship between the two. However, nothing was clear as of yet.

In a series of questions, Tabish moved on to ask Feroze a much-heated question about who spread the rumors about the couple’s separation?

In response to a question, Feroze said;

“When someone is planning a legacy, they are thinking about a five-year career or a 50-year career. What you ask God depends on you, but no one wants this cheap publicity, right?” 

“I don’t want my son to grow up and ask me whether I was the one who planned everything,” he added. Much to the relief of fans, Feroze termed these rumors as cheap publicity.

Check out the complete interview below.

Cosmetic Surgery Incident 

In another follow-up question by the host, he shares a rather funny incident about a cosmetic procedure he got done after massive training for a campaign.

“I had to film a campaign underwater, and I was not satisfied with my body. So I worked out a lot. However, the result on my face was quite drastic as my face shrunk. And then I went on to get fillers done even though I was not the right candidate, according to the doctor. ”

“As soon as I got the fillers and I looked at myself. I was like, how do I get this thing dissolved?” He added.

“I was like damn, this is not me. I need to get this off.”

Later on, the actor added that he plans to stay in the line of work to spread a positive message regardless of the previous decision about quitting the showbiz.

Showbiz industry is divided into groups. One group is comprised of stars like Mahira Khan who even when they do nothing they stay as the beloved personality of the audience. The second group is of talented actors like Zahid Ahmed whose work speaks for them. The third category is of people who cannot act but try to stay relevant through controversial statements; imagine Agha Ali. The fourth group is where Feroze Khan belongs.

Feroze Khan controversies

In this fourth group, the actor is talented so there is no point making irresponsible statements or starting controversies. But stars like Feroze Khan continue doing it. You may recall his alleged separation scandal. Then there was the matter of how he might be interested in Hania Aamir. In today’s news, he made the headlines for lashing out at Tabish Hashmi.

TBH by Tabish Hashmi

In the third season of TBH, Tabish invited Feroze Khan amongst other personalities. While other episodes were funny, exactly how they were supposed to be, the one with Feroze Khan was an anomaly.

When a star makes a statement, it becomes public property. And when those stars get invited to a show, especially one on the format like TBH, the star should expect those statements to be used in their own comical way.

Read More: “One Should Marry More Than Once” Says Feroze Khan

What happened?

Basically, Feroze Khan had made a statement about having a Sheikh figure in his life. Tabish made a statement about that. And Feroze completely lashed out. He said he will not tolerate a joke on that matter.

The right way?

That said, if there are some things that you do not want discussed, maybe do it prior to the show. But when you enter the show’s recording, you are in someone else’s domain. Lashing out because you do not like something which you are responsible for in the first place is the most uncultured thing one can do. You, as a guest are basically insulting a host who showed you respect by inviting you.

You may just be conveying what you will let pass and what you won’t but the way you do it is all that matters. So, while Feroze may be on point, the way he did it was extremely rude and could have been avoided.

Flexa Plus – Here Are 3 Reasons Why You Need It

The quality of life greatly depends on the health of your bones and joints. Bone and joint diseases are among the most commonly faced health issues across the globe. In Pakistan, even young individuals have reported issues related to joints. According to a recent estimate, every 1 in 4 women experience bones and joints problems. Symptoms related to these problems vary for those suffering from them. Some of the most common complaints include stiffness, tenderness, loss of flexibility, grating sensation, swelling, and chronic pain.

For those who don’t know, chronic pain is any pain that is persistent and lasts for more than six months. Impaired joints and bones are often due to aging cartilage. The cycle of chronic pain is vicious. When individuals suffer from chronic pain, NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are the standard solution. While this may be valid, NSAIDs may lead to numerous adverse health effects like indigestion, stomach aches, body sickness, Diarrhoea, stomach ulcers leading to internal bleeding, and anemia. In addition, NSAIDs may also be associated with problems of liver, kidneys, or heart and circulation, such as heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes. More often than not, these effects are combined with stress. Consequently, the individual faces more complications spreading to the other systems inside the body. If NSAIDs are not helping against chronic pain, is there anything else that can treat it? Several alternatives which are safer to use include natural substances such as Curcumin, Boswellia, and Vitamin D3.

Flexa Plus, with Curcumin, Boswellia, and Vitamin D3, is a suitable alternative to NSAIDs based on the following reasons:

Natural, Pure, and Unique Formula

Flexa Plus is a naturally enhanced anti-inflammatory and antioxidant combination for bone and joint health. Its unique ingredients provide relief from inflammation and reduce pain as well as swelling.

Curcumin and Boswellia – Combination

Curcumin is known to control inflammation, prevent Apoptosis, and regulate antioxidant activity. Additionally, the unique combination of Curcumin and Boswellia supports bone and joint health by reducing inflammation.

Boswellia and Vitamin D3 – Combination

Boswellia and Vitamin D3 when combined prevent against aging of bones and joints. In addition, it decreases inflammation and increases mobility and flexibility. Moreover, Using Vitamin D3 helps to absorb more Calcium, leading to stronger bones.

Keeping the above-mentioned factors in view, Flexa Plus is a natural solution to inflammation, joint pains, and impaired bone health. If you want to ensure your bone health and want to spend a happy life, Flexa Plus is the most-suitable and safe medicine for you.

Apple Watch Series 7 New Leak Will Enrage The Fans

Apple has certainly kept fans hooked for decades now. Apart from that, the company has even managed to rise among the top contenders. Despite there being a pandemic on the loose, Apple has not bowed out from the act yet. The New Apple Watch Series 7 is on its way to users soon. While it has not been released yet, there have been occasional leaks about it. Who is to say that the leaks are a part of some grand scheme or are completely coincidental?

However, the most recent leak on the Apple Watch Series 7 is sure to send a lot of fans in a fit of rage. In fact, a lot of people have already expressed their discomfort with the new information. We know that Apple releases are quite impressive, but is this where they might lag a bit? Let us dive into the details of the leak itself.

Apple Watch Leak

According to sources, it seems the watch is undergoing a design alteration. The watch is going to be a bit bigger than its predecessors. However, this also means that the larger chassis will render previous watch bands incompatible. This means that if you wish to upgrade to the Apple Watch 7, your older watch bands will not be of use anymore. A bigger chassis means a need to put on a different size of bands.

This piece of information comes from a noted leaker by the name of Max Weinbach. He has previously revealed Apple-related information too. Those turned out to be correct later on so we can assume this might be too. The leak has certainly enraged a lot of fans who will now have to abandon the bands of their old watches if they want the new one. Since there are reports of a bigger display, it can be considered plausible that the bands won’t fit. Even if they do, it will not be seamless.

Strange Developments

There is also the reason behind the change in design. Apparently, Apple is integrating new technology behind the display, this is also why it needs to be bigger. Additionally, it is going to be much closer to the front glass than before, leaving more room for pieces behind it. The watch has yet to be released but these bits of information keep us going. We hope that, despite all the sources, the leak is debunked.

People don’t want to get rid of their older bands just because they won’t fit on the new Apple Watch. Let us see what happens when the watch is officially revealed and released to the public. Who knows, maybe it is a good decision, considering the features of the watch can compensate.

The woman who dressed as a clown at night and as a medical student in the day, has opened up about her life story. Saima Sarwar is a woman made of steel and she has finally been rewarded for her hard work. Read about how her life changed in a moment’s lapse.

Saima Sarwar’s Virality

Sarwar is a woman who pursues her education in the day and dresses as a clown at night. She sells various toys and makes children happy at night to earn money. All this effort that she puts in is for her ailing mother whose medicines costs are unbearable without a source of income. A journalist discovered Saima and learnt about her story. Since then, she has gone viral on the internet. Saima Sarwar also caught the attention of the government and now prospects have opened up for her.

Nida Yasir immediately called her to her show as was expected! Saima Sarwar broke down on the show several times speaking about her life story. She adds that my entire world is my mother. She is my friend, my teacher and my support. Saima Sarwar lost her father and brother at the age of 13 and now lives with her mother alone.

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by ShowbizMasala (@showbizmasala)

However, Saima had never told her mother about her clown activities at night. When her mother found out after she went viral, her reaction wasn’t expected. Initially, she went quiet for a few days but then she hugged her daughter and cried. Her mother said to her, “people cry for sons, I’m lucky I have you.”

What Did Virality Bring Her?

After her case went viral, Saima Sarwar was immediately contacted by the CM’s office. The CM has instructed medical institutes to bring in Sarwar’s mother for a check-up and provide the treatment and medicines. The cost will be borne by CM Buzdar himself.

In addition to that, there are reports that perhaps Saima’s education can also be sponsored by the government. As she wishes to become a doctor, the government can help her achieve her dreams by helping her pay her fees. Once Saima Sarwar can become a doctor, these hardships will be behind her.

Not Everyone Can Go Viral

However, it must be known that not every hard-working or deserving woman can go viral. Not all of them are working in front of you. So, do those women or men who toil day and night not deserve the government’s help because they couldn’t get viral?

The government must ensure a working scheme that ensures no such men and women are left on their own.

Karachi’s medical facilities have improved significantly and especially for paediatric facilities. Pakistan’s medical scene has been average for a long time and now it’s heart-warming to see how the authorities have improved.

NICVD’s Latest Development

NICVD – the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases – has started Pakistan’s first Paediatric Cardiac Electrophysiology Programme. An eight-year-old boy successfully underwent the procedure. The child was a resident of Sukkur and had unstable heart attacks.

He was having repeated attacks of fast heart rates going up to 200 beats per minute. 

About The Programme

This is a huge development in the medical provisions of Lahore. NICVD Executive Director Prof Nadeem Qamar said, “This is the first time that an EP study and ablation procedure has been performed on such a young child in Pakistan.” The initiation was done by Dr Mohammad Mohsin who is trained in paediatric cardiology. 

Dr. Mohsin is an esteemed doctor who followed two years of training at the University of Alberta in Canada. He has also especially been hired by the NICVD to start the first paediatric cardiac electrophysiology programme in Pakistan”. The NICVD director also called the programme “a great achievement” for the country. He also said NICVD has for sure become one of the best tertiary cardiac care hospitals in the world.

More About The Procedure

Dr. Mohsin added, “Heart problems in which the heart beats too fast or too slow are not uncommon in children.” However, these can be cured. Dr. Mohsin believes specialised doctors can cure this through a complex procedure called electrophysiology study and ablation. Until now, it could not be treated in Pakistan. Now that there is a paediatric electrophysiologist in Pakistan, these children have hope.

However, this is not a one-man job. Dr. Mohsin believes that these complex procedures require dedicated teamwork. Cardiologists, paediatric cardiologists, technologists, anaesthetists and electrophysiology physicians, all work together. The head of cardiac electrophysiology at the NICVD, Dr Azam Shafquat, told me how NICVD has improved. Previously, the institute could only treat adult patients with catheter-based treatments.

Technological developments have the power to alter a person’s perspective on anything. Inventors have a track record of being a little extra with their inventions. People did not expect the inventors to go through with it. However, when they did, the world cheered them on. A new vivo smartphone concept has been released; The concept encompasses something not many people could have thought of.

According to sources, when the concept was released, it shook people to the core. It seems so seamless that people cannot seem to move past it. They have been hooked on it since they first saw it. vivo is certainly making considerable developments. This is what the smartphone camera concept looks like:

vivo With A Plan

If we look at this concept above, there is a lot that is bound to shock people. Firstly, the ability of a smartphone to store this drone is quite impressive. Despite being packed with electronics, the phone can still house a miniature drone. Secondly, the way the drone is seated within the tray itself is mind-blowing; Imagine, the drone can return to its initial position without a lot of guidance.

The concept gives us a glimpse of what life could be like with a smartphone. It would mean the beginning of a new era of phones. Instead of attached cameras, the phone will be able to release a drone in the air. However, we have yet to understand the workings behind this. For now, this is just a concept for us. We have seen many concepts before such as universal rotating tyres for cars. You may have seen such a car in the movie ‘I, Robot’. Of course, there have been many reactions to it on Twitter.

Coming In For A Landing

We hope that we get to see some form of real-life implementation of this concept. It would be fun to see such a product and an even bigger thrill to be able to use it. A lot of miniature drones could be left behind in the dust if this turns out to be a potential contender. Apart from that, we await any other news that vivo releases about this.

The world of smartphones is constantly changing. Where we used to see flip phones as all the rage, now we are seeing drone camera phone designs. Let us hope our own drone camera doesn’t get hacked and starts to chase after us!

Here we have some more twitter reactions!

With this much info at hand, it is easier for marketing brands to make sure they are updated about the influencers they are following.

TikTok has not rolled out this API to the public, as of now, but we are expecting the launch quite soon. The companies can bring the data back to their platforms and augment the insights that they are providing to the customer base. However, the platform does have partners already, who are looking to utilize this API. One of them is Captiv8. Using this API, Captiv8 received more than 10 million views and a significant rise in several key metrics. Their campaign was specific and it helped!

Interesting Developments

This API can be considered quite smart as it cuts down on a tremendous amount of time and effort. Another partner, Influential, is also using the demographics to alter their methods. This will help its customer base of Fortune 1000 brands to identify the right creators.

It is true that creators have had a major impact on the platform as well as the industry invested in it. We hope that TikTok continues to produce such updates over the course of time.

Image Source: Pakistan Point

The days of underage driving are over for the residents of Karachi as efforts are underway to control this illegal activity in the metropolitan hub. While many may not be able to enjoy their freedom as before, this has the potential to reduce accidents and reckless driving on the roads of Karachi.

What’s The Latest?

The Sindh High Court (SHC) has given orders to the police to begin measures to control underage driving in Karachi. As per the orders of SHC, the police have launched action against the underage drivers in Karachi.

The leading police officer, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Traffic police Iqbal Dara, has also begun work on it. He has released a notification regarding the action being taken against drivers who are not yet 18. However, in this investigation, only drivers are not the target. Dara has directed the traffic officials to launch a drive against the underage drivers and the parents too in Karachi.

Sindh High Court’s Resentment

Only earlier this week, the SHC expressed its resentment over the increasing road misdemeanour cases coming due to underage drivers. The SHC was seriously concerned about the number of road accidents happening to teenagers. The main issue or cause of these accidents is reportedly underage bike riders who are reckless and irresponsible on the roads.

Thus, the SHC directed the inspector general of police (IGP) and DIG-traffic to begin taking measures that reduce these cases. There have been several cases where lives have been lost due to reckless driving or the gimmicks of underage drivers. It has also become increasingly common for boys to start driving by the age of 16.

The Campaign Underway

Efforts are underway seriously to prevent more cases and to weed out underage drivers. A single-judge bench headed by Justice Aftab Ahmed Gorar, has instructed that a campaign be held across the province. Specially targeting Karachi, warnings should be issued to the parents of underage bikers. The campaign is focused on making sure that the parents are also held accountable for allowing their underage children on the road.

It comes as no surprise that these serious measures were taken as a result of a case. The bench primarily issued these directives while passing an order of a pre-arrest bail application in a relevant case. The pre-arrest bail was for two teenagers who were responsible for the death of another teenager in bike racing a few months ago.

Ghana Ali’s Fans Speculate She Might Be ‘Expecting’ After Her Recent Post

Ghana Ali made an announcement on her social media which has taken many of her fans by surprise. The actress announced some ‘unforeseen circumstances’ that have halted her work, mid-project. However, while many may be surprised by this, others feel that they have cracked the code. Which side is more convincing? Let’s find out!

Ghana Ali’s Announcement

Ghana Ali was acting in the drama called Benaam in which she believes she finally had a positive role. Positive roles are hard to come by today for women hence, Ghana Ali had really hit the jackpot. However, she has announced that due to ‘unavoidable circumstances’ she can not act further. Not only can she not act further, but she has also asked the team to cut her parts. Thus, her fans will not see much of her at all in the drama!

She thanked the team for being understanding about her ‘urgent’ situation. Moreover, she urged her fans to watch the drama nonetheless because it is simply amazing.

What Could It Be?

It seems more like a health emergency as Ghana Ali herself has called it an urgent situation. Moreover, she terms it as an ‘unavoidable circumstance’, what could it be besides a health emergency? However, if it was a health-related one we doubt she’d ask the team to cut her previously shot parts also.

On the other hand, fans have a theory. Fans genuinely and passionately believe that Ghana Ali is ‘expecting’. It may be that she does not want to share this news yet. Hence, not only is she not acting further in the drama, she is also getting her parts cut because her bump may be showing. Here’s them calling it out:

Ghana Ali and Husband

It’s unclear whether Ghana Ali is expecting or not however, she and her husband have been in the news every other day. Ghana Ali’s husband is consistently body-shamed by netizens and Ali always has one snarky reply up her sleeve to shut them up. However, by now it seems as if people do it deliberately because they have realised it annoys Ghana Ali. Why shouldn’t it? It’s uncalled for.

Amazon Soon To Launch Its Own TV & Here’s All You Need To Know

Amazon has been making headlines continuously for various reasons. Be it because they decided to upgrade Alexa or whether its CEO is going to the moon. Now Amazon has announced a new tech development that is taking the industry by storm. Learn the latest here.

Is Amazon Launching A TV?

Amazon.com Inc is apparently planning to launch its very own TV in the United States. The Amazon-branded TV may be in the works until October as a leaked report has revealed.

The launch of the TV has been in the works for two years now. The TV is being made with teams from Amazon Devices and Lab126 so we can be sure that whatever is cooking in the lab is going to be trustworthy. Here’s the best part about The TVs— they will have Alexa! The screen sizes of the Amazon-TV will be “in the range of 55 to 75 inches.” Moreover, it has also been reported that they will be designed and manufactured by third parties such as TCL.

Is A TV A Great Investment?

Amazon has partnered with several tech companies and sold their TVs on their platform. Now it appears that they have learnt the rules of the trade themself and decided to enter the market. Investing in a TV will no doubt be a huge venture for the company. However, is it really worth it? TVs in this day and age are not only preferred if they are a state-of-the-art creation but their demand is also decreasing.

Why invest in a huge TV worth so many hundred dollars when just a laptop is fine? And then when it comes to families who will for sure get a TV, they have other reliable and trustworthy brands to go for.

What Could Be Next For Amazon?

Amazon has made its name with its AI-support system, the Alexa device. The device has become incredibly popular amongst youngsters and adults alike and they may keep improving it for this reason. Now that a TV has been revealed, it should be fun to imagine what can be next for Amazon.

Our guesses are on a laptop or a mobile provided that both of these can reign in huge profits. Amazon has always been garnered towards the younger demographic, what better way to bait them?

Public Comes To Help Mother & Daughter Who Were Harassed In Islamabad

In Islamabad, there has been a new case of harassment of women and this time, it was a mother and daughter targeted together. In a surge of women reclaiming the public space and using bikes to travel, these cases have become the norm. However, all hope is not lost. This event tells us we might just not be fighting in vain.

The Incident

A mother-daughter duo was riding on a bike when they started getting harassed in Islamabad. Two boys continuously came close to the women’s bike and bumped their front tires into the back tires of the women’s bike. This all was happening in public, in front of all the traffic, at the signal between F-11 and E-11.

While these women were helpless in women, two to three men did come to their rescue. They started surrounding the women’s vehicle in an attempt to guard them which was indeed successful. The harassers then ran away from the signal before it even opened.

⁠People Are Praising The Helping Men

The Facebook user who shared the incident was more than happy to see how the event played out. She stated, “This made my day. This is the moral responsibility of every man to stop evil things from happening around them. This is what Islam teaches us to stop by hand, by words or at least call it out.” While we’re not glad that incidents like this have to happen for us to weed out ‘good men’, it is nice to see some come to the rescue of terrified and helpless women. 

The Facebook user also added other statements which are food for thought. She urges people to normalise women on bikes. In her Facebook status she said, “Also, we need to normalise women riding bikes because only lower middle and poor ride bikes. And if women driving cars is totally normal, then why can’t riding a bike for the lower middle class be a normal thing?”⁠

Women on Bikes

Not too long ago, women questioned why the mode of transport they can claim in public themselves has always been a car. Why has the motorbike become so inherently masculine? The brave women of Pakistan, thus, began to change the status quo. Slowly but surely women started claiming the roads in their bikes be it out of convenience, need or affordability.

However, being on a bike has also exposed women to more harassment and that too, directly. Men speed past them hurling inappropriate comments or do what the guys in this incident did.

Shell To Install 50,000 Charging Points For Electric Cars

The era of electric cars has begun. We can safely say that combustion engines are not the only ones on the market now. With time, a lot of the infrastructure can be altered to be in favour of electric cars. Speaking of electric vehicles, Shell has decided to install about 50,000 charging points.

While this does seem like a huge number, it is not to be done over the course of weeks or months. Instead, it is a plan set forth by Shell for Britain. It has long been stated that Britain intends to get rid of combustion engine cars completely. Now, they have made it an aim to do so by 2030. Yes, 9 years from now, you will not see petrol or diesel running cars in the UK. So, Shell is one of the major contenders now in the race to change the infrastructure.

Shell Charging Points

These charging points allow for EVs to be charged on the go. The more one has, the easier it is for them to move about here and there. Ubitricity is a company that was founded in 2008 in Germany. It was acquired by Shell and is responsible for vehicle charging units across Europe. They already have 3600 charging units in Britain, ranging from a lamp post used as one to a bollard.

Currently, the UK’s Government Office of Zero-Emission Vehicles provides 75% of the installation cost of these charging units. The company has agreed to pay the rest of the charges, so there may be a faster change of infrastructure. The country is certainly working hard to make sure emissions are at an all-time low. We hope they succeed in this and continue moving up.

Keeping The Earth Clean

This initiative is certainly an impressive one and deserves all kinds of praise. It doesn’t just have to be Britain that adheres to the workings of a clean atmosphere. Every country can play a part in this, in one way or another. You don’t have to make heavy promises but you can always start the change on a smaller scale. If many people do it, it can create change in the bigger picture.

Let us hope we get to see more and more countries shifting towards an electrical infrastructure.
