If you belong to South Asia, is it even possible that you do not know about the universality of turmeric? Anything happens, and the brown mom will get you a glass of milk with turmeric in it. But turmeric has many more benefits and that is why you should definitely add it to your lifestyle.

1. Curcumin May Help Prevent Cancer

Curcumin is found in turmeric. This ingredient helps with various types of cancers including colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, breast, and gastric cancers. Why? because the ingredient is anti-inflammatory and tumor growth is linked with inflammation. Research conducted in mice indicates that the ingredient slows the spread of tumor cells prevents the tumor-forming altogether as well.

2. Protect Against Heart Disease

Curcumin in turmeric improves the health of the thin membrane covering the heart as well as the blood vessels. The issues with lower endothelial function are linked to age which increases the risk of heart diseases. The use of turmeric can lower these risks.

3. May Help Treat or Prevent Diabetes

People with a family history of diabetes should also increase their use of turmeric because not only can it prevent the illness but also help treat it. It is also effective when it comes to treating related illnesses like diabetic nephropathy aka diabetic kidney disease. The study was done on animals and not on humans.

4. Reversing Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s or the Mad Cow disease has no cure. It is also hereditary. When people get diagnosed with it in early stages, more than the disease itself, they get stressed due to the thought of it intensifying. Curcumin can help here. If you use turmeric regularly, it can delay Alzheimer’s if you are prone to getting it. and reverse the effects if you have already evoked them.

5. Treating Depression

As someone who has studied psychology a bit, there are various ways to help treat depression. Every psychologist and psychiatrist has their own method of going about the treatment plan. But we can also not deny the fact that most brown communities still avoid the psychology talk. If that is the case, people do not even go to the relevant professional. While we do endorse seeking professional help but the ingredients found in turmeric can also help out all the serotonin you need. Of course, read up on the researches conducted as well.

6. Turmeric can also help with skin health

You can get much help from this amazing ingredient with regard to your acne, eczema (atopic dermatitis), photoaging, and psoriasis problems. What makes turmeric interesting is not how the ingredient can help with such skin disorders but also that it is safe even if the intake amount is high.

7. Anti-aging supplement

Did you know you could use turmeric as an anti-aging supplement? Of course, it doesn’t reduce your age but your bodily function and your skin, they get the nutrition making you feel like you are on top of the world even at the age of 50. So what say?

8. Eye degeneration

The eye is an organ that is extremely vulnerable but we take it for granted. With time, most people are even prone to getting Gluacoma. More frequent than rare, the vision cannot be restored. It is better to safeguard your eye from the beginning then, isn’t it?

So, what say, fellow desis? Are you ready to appreciate your mom for giving you haldi doodh all those times?

Has Microsoft Overtaken Apple As The Most Valuable Company?

Apple has been crowned as the most valuable company for a long now. The trillion-dollar tech company has been on the rise consistently and with new phones like iPhone 13 coming out, who can second-guess them? However, it seems the days for such a staggering growth may be passed for Apple. Here’s how Microsoft is chasing it for the crown:

The Surge in Microsoft’s Stock

Microsoft Corp’s stocks (MSFT.O) surged recently. So much so that the shares nearly uncrowned Apple Inc (AAPL.O) as the world’s most valuable company. This was a huge blow for Apple because this mega moment happened just a day before it had to announce its quarterly results.

Microsoft’s shares leapt because of its strong quarterly growth in its Azure cloud-computing business. The shares jumped roughly 4.2% and settled at the share price of $323.17 which was a record-setting price. This resulted in the software maker’s market capitalization reaching $2.426 trillion. Can you guess how close it was to Apple? Apple’s market cap was $2.461 trillion— too close to not consider it a threat.

Apple’s Dip

As a result, Apple’s shares dipped 0.3%. The dip can also be attributed to dwindling hope in the manufacturer’s ability to meet demands. If you remember, we covered how a chip used in iPhones is expected to become short which is why the prices of the phones have hiked.

On the other hand, Microsoft’s stock has rallied 45% this year. In comparison, Apple’s shares only climbed 12% in 2021. When you see the craze for iPhones you wouldn’t be able to guess it but Apple may be in trouble.

The Long War

It was in 2010 that Apple overtook Microsoft as the world’s most valuable company. Thus, if Microsoft now overtakes Apple, it would just be getting its crown back. The two companies have taken turns as Wall Street’s most valuable company for long now.

The forecast for Microsoft’s year-end reports also looks promising. The company’s booming cloud-computing business is its profitable spine at the moment. However, supple-chain issues also trouble Microsoft as they trouble Apple. Who will handle it better?

Ghana Ali is one of the most renowned actresses in Pakistan whose personal life often makes many headlines. The actress is known to speak her mind and not gloss over her words which is why many love her. Now, the actress has opened up about her marriage which created a whole lot of controversy as well. Let’s find out if you agree with her words!

Marriage of Ghana Ali

Ghana Ali’s husband is a wealthy businessman who was married once before. When the two got married, words like ‘golddigger’ and ‘homewrecker’ were thrown on Ghana Ali but the actress did not budge. She loved her husband and that’s all that mattered to her. Her posts with him have also experienced an increased presence of trolls but she fought them away too and became famous for it.

So does marrying a ‘married’ man make you a homewrecker or not? When Ghana Ali was asked about it, her response was rather puzzling.

Ghana Ali Opens Up

The actress was doing a good ol’ question and answer session on her Instagram profile and someone had a burning question. An anonymous person asked her, “Why did you marry a married man?” To that Ghana Ali had a fatalistic response. She said, “Because it was in my destiny!” Moreover, the actress also said that she does not regret doing that at all because her husband is an amazing man.

Have a look at her response:

Is It Really Destiny?

Read more: Trolls Triggered After Seeing Ghana Ali Pose With Hand On Her Belly

To pin something one really does it themself and can be categorized as morally questionable on destiny makes no sense. To actively pursue a married man, knowing he’s married and that this pursuit would wreck a home, is not destiny. Surely, destiny does not condone such actions.

To blame destiny for it is to absolve oneself of the guilt. Moreover, the defense that a husband is a great person is also not very strong. Surely, he was the same incredible person towards his previous wife as well!

The Ethical Quicksand

The discussion on ‘homewrecking’ and second marriages is ripe in Pakistan. With dramas constantly focusing on them and celebrities repeatedly creating a culture of it, people are bound to have some questions. Such a complex and possibly consequential topic should be discussed with care.

E-Cigarettes Vs. Tobacco And What Anti-Vapers Are Getting Wrong

The Chief Executive Officer of Forbes Media LLC, Steve Forbes explained the difference between the e-cigarettes and traditional cigarette smoking and that how the anti-vapers are building a wrong narrative.

Forbes who was talking at the segment of the podcast ‘What’s Ahead’, exposes the falsehoods of this perverse crusade. With the Covid-19 scourge receding, the various pressure groups and public health officials will renew their wrongful war against e-cigarettes.

“I will tell you about the insights you need to help navigate this turbulent world. Thankfully the terrible pandemic is ebbing with the availability of vaccines and highly effective therapeutics, which means the wrongheaded war waged by various authorities and pressure groups against vaping will be resumed with renewed intensity. The attack must be met with the truthful counter-attacks. The facts are on the side of e-cigarettes. For unfathomable reasons, vaping has been equated with regular tobacco smoking,” said Forbes.

E-cigarettes are said to be not equivalent of tobacco cigarettes. They contain no tobacco! And they are 95% safer than regular smokes. Forbes also seconded the fact that vaping is the best antidote to cigarette smoking.

“E-cigarette are 95 percent less harmful than traditional smokes. E-cigarettes don’t contain tobacco. Vaping allows users to inhale nicotine without the carbon monoxide and other dreadful substances that make cigarettes so lethal, especially to the lungs. This is why, in contrast to the US, British health authorities promote vaping as a much preferred alternative to cigarettes,” he said.

He further explained that the anti-vapors claim e-cigarettes as the gateway to taking up tobacco smoking. “They cite the surge of vaping among teenagers, but they conventionally overlook the fact that teenage cigarette smoking has plummeted over the years from 16% to under 6%,”he said adding that although a person shouldn’t be inhaling any kind of substances in their lungs including marijuana, but vaping is by far the least harmful way to do it.

The British health officials have recognized, vaping as a highly effective way for people to give up cigarette smoking, thereby saving numerous lives. E-cigarettes have been declared as far more successful than patches, chewing gums and other anti-cigarette aids.

Anti-vapers are pushing to ban flavored e-cigarettes. The FDA tried that last year but left a loophole. California did the same but avoided the loophole. However, angry petitioners there have put a referendum on next year’s ballot to overturn this law.

“While some local governments, like San Francisco, have prohibited e-cigarettes sales outright, anti-vapors have focused their efforts on banning flavored e-cigarettes on the theory that the unflavored variety makes them distinctly unattractive to would be users. The FDA took this approach last summer in banning flavored e-cigarettes, but a loophole allows all flavors to be sold in disposable devices that cannot be refilled,” he said.

The state of California last year ban retail sales of flavored e-cigarettes, as well as flavored tobacco products such as menthol cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, exempt water pipe tobacco, certain cigars, and hookahs.

Forbes suggested that they should decisively rebuke these latest latter day prohibitionists. The anti-cigarette forces should cease their fiction films, scare tactics, and take up educational campaigns on the virtues of leaving your lungs unmolested by any kind of foreign substances.

Those who want an excellent way to give up smoking tobacco should root for the success of this proposition.

Google has become the titan of the industry in its entire run. We don’t think there are many that can actually tackle this champion. If we look at just the search engine, nothing comes close. Apart from that, the company is also the world’s largest internet AD provider. It has given ADs to so many places, people have now lost count. Internet ADs and working became a bigger thing in the pandemic because people were forced to stay indoors. This has contributed to the most recent profit that the company has seen.

Due to the increased demand for online shopping as well as AD posting, Google’s owner, Alphabet, has seen a major profit margin.

Pakistan is that one country that has it all in terms of beauty. You will find the lush green mountains, the snow-capped peaks, the deserts, and the beaches. Every geographical feature exists in this part of the sub-continent. This is why the country has a lot of scope in tourism attracting investors. In that line, it was announced that a few french players may be interested in building ski resorts in Gilgit Baltistan.

French Delegation

The announcement was made by Federico Juan Tomas Espana, the French Honorary Investment Counsellor during the Delegation’s visit. He said that a few enterprises want to invest and further uplift the tourism sector of the country. The Delegation was led by Federico Espana. Secretary Board of Investments (BOI), Fareena Mazhar received them.

The BOI has arranged for the delegation to visit 5 districts. The government of G-B and the BOI have coordinated to facilitate the group as much as possible outlining the itinerary to include districts of Nagar, Ghizar, Astore, Phandar, and Skardu. Secretary BOI also said that this comes in line with the recent Investment strategy for the 2020-2023 period. The aim of it was to attract foreign investments in various sectors.

BOI on foreign investments

She said:

“The strategy provides a comprehensive investment cycle, consisting of policy advocacy, market research, and investment facilitation. It offers protection to foreign businessmen through investor tracking, sector scanning, and aftercare services to investors and projects.”

Secretary BOI further added:

“In order to facilitate international investors in Pakistan, the Board of Investment has developed an online database in cooperation with federal and provincial governments. A total of 120 projects worth $60 billion are available on the organization’s website.”

The database said to be user-friendly and interactive, developed by the Board of Investments highlights the relaxations the government gives to the investors for each sector.

This attempt comes as a follow-up to signing the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Business France. The objective of the MoU is to facilitate investors, in terms of exchanging information and knowledge sharing.

‘No drivers, no guards’ – Shahveer Jafry’s Picture Makes Pakistanis Angry

Shahveer Jafry just tied the knot and naturally, it was an event with an insane amount of coverage. While that may have its perks, it also has its disadvantages. One of the latter is that everything is scrutinised and available to the public eye. In one of the pictures from his reception, something came to the knowledge of the public which has made them furious. Find out what the Youtuber is being criticised over on his wedding below.

The Classist Sign outside Shahveer Jafry Wedding

In one of the pictures of Shahveer Jafry and his wife Ayesha, there is a huge sign in the background. That sign says something rather derogatory and shameful, and targets workers. The sign in question is one that says “NO DRIVERS, NO GUARDS” allowed inside the hall during the wedding function. Restricting the working class from being allowed inside the premises of an event of the elite is another level of low.

When the public saw this sign outside Shahveer Jafry’s wedding venue, they were not too pleased. Have a look at the sign:

Angry Netizens

People called the newlyweds out for supporting this sort of classist behaviour. Is the security threat only from drivers and guards? Has the word today taught us nothing about how crime doesn’t only stem from the lower class? Moreover, excluding them like this is incredibly humiliating.

Making certain spaces only for the elite while others only for the poor isn’t very different from designating spaces for whites and blacks in the old days. Have a look at what the netizens are saying:

What Does Shahveer Jafry Have To Say?

The Youtuber was obviously quick to respond to the criticism. After all, his reputation was on the line. However, we have to say that his defence was rather weak. How enamoured and enchanted do you have to be by the wedding that you simply don’t see the outside of the venue at all? It is not very believable that no one from his family and him included did not see the sign.

Classist Culture

It is also true that this isn’t the first time this has happened in Pakistan. We are unfortunately moving towards an incredibly class-divided society. This was first noticed in the Royal Palm club and after a huge amount of backlash, they took the sign down. Is backlash the solution to this kind of behaviour? Let us know what you think.

Pakistan has just claimed its second victory in T20.

This win comes as a satisfaction to quite a lot of the fans. In recent times, New Zealand had done quite a bit of injustice when it came to Pakistan. They had even cancelled their tour to Pakistan because of an alleged bomb threat. Yet, when the threat was given in another country, they kept playing. Twitter has certainly exploded with memes of all kinds. You know us, never slow to post a meme!

Automotive brands in Pakistan are seeing development on quite a large scale. It doesn’t even have to be an old brand to have development. Newer ones have seen advancements that weren’t thought possible a decade ago. One of the oldest ones in Pakistan is Toyota. You can imagine it being here in Pakistan for almost as long as Pakistan has been independent. Now, Interbrand’s 2021 list is out and Toyota has won something! They have gotten a title that they can hold high.

Among all the brands here, Toyota is one that has maintained its quality throughout its run. It has released state-of-the-art generation vehicles in each decade. If you look at the vehicles from the 60s and 70s, you might find the brand among the best ones of that time. Even now, the Land Cruiser continues to be a beast among all.

Toyota Among Rankings

It seems that Toyota has nabbed the seventh spot on Interbrand’s 2021 list. In terms of financial value, Toyota has taken this award for the third time. Once, they had managed to even surpass a giant like Volkswagen. It seems that the brand is currently a top champion in terms of production vehicles. It produces the most and they are robust! Toyota has recorded a 5% year-on-year growth in value.

Among the other brands that took the cake, the second person was Mercedes. Yes, that beast took second place. Apart from that, Honda ranked fifth whereas, Tesla ranked as the fourth-best one. We are talking about their rankings among other car makers. While a lot of the brands are making a quick shift to electric cars, Toyota is taking a gradual approach. They believe that hybrid-electric vehicles are the way to go now and that the era shift will be slower.

A Household Name

The company has certainly become a common name in every household. A lot of people actually consider it a major goal to be able to afford a Toyota Premium vehicle. Even the Prius is one of the best hybrid vehicles out there. Its capabilities go far beyond what many brands could not manufacture.

As with any event these days, the match was marked by a flood of memes and commentary on social media but this time there was another star front and center of the tournament – Daraz.

Daraz promised its users a hassle free, smooth live streaming experience completely free of cost on their app.

Some users even expressed the hope that Daraz would continue the trend of live streaming sports and venture into other tournaments the likes of FIFA and club football. While we’re a fan of dreaming big – it might be a little too soon to dream that big.

Others still highlighted the need for other platforms to step up and join the game.

Although Daraz had advertisements playing across social platforms ahead of the tournament promoting their Daraz Live feature, the ball really started rolling when word-of-mouth started to spread during the peak hours of the Pak vs India match.

Where some people resorted to the steady livestream on the app in desperation when on air channels failed them…

…others came together in their mohallay to enjoy watching the live stream on larger screens via screen-mirroring. Because everyone knows matches are always better enjoyed shouting together.

From cars to street cafes to offices, homes, and the motorway – word spread like wildfire that anyone who wanted to watch the match could simply download the app and watch the game with a single tap. No need for shady websites with questionable live stream links and blurry streams. It was almost too good to be true but then again – pretty much everything about the match was.

If you happened to miss the buzz on social media and opted for the traditional route of Googling links – Daraz was also front and center on the search engine for T20 live stream links. With easy one-touch integrated buttons that led directly to the livestreaming page, all anybody had to do was click on the Watch T20 Live Match and they’d be redirected to the stream. Good job to their SEO team. 🙂

It was the craze to see cricket’s greatest rivalry paired with the easy access Daraz provided that quickly helped the e-commerce giant climb the ranks, both across trending social media mentions and app store rankings – all in the span of just a few hours.

It wasn’t long before people started to notice the startling numbers and though Daraz has yet to report official numbers, people are estimating that their views crossed 1.5 crore with over 1 crore app downloads!

Meanwhile, the livestream itself served to be an exceptionally entertaining space for those watching – and not just because of the match! The interactive chat feature allowed for some creative commentary to read in-between the action. Viewers took this chance to express their gratitude and cheer on their team. But if you preferred to watch the match without any interference, you could simply swipe right and enjoy the match on quiet mode.

While the night ended in celebration for Pakistani cricket fans everywhere, it also cemented Daraz as a strong contender for upcoming livestream events with many fans restoring their faith in their cricket team and Daraz’s ability to provide solid service.

Even with plenty of matches remaining for the T20 world cup, Daraz has proven to be a reliable platform to stream the tournament and we’re excited to see more platforms follow the live-streaming trend in Pakistan!

Amna Ilyas Confesses To Laughing At ‘Short-Heighted’ Girls

It seems that Amna Ilyas has a penchant for always being controversial. Could this be an attention-gaining tactic? We may never know. However, the actress is always up to either making questionable videos or making questionable statements. This time, the actress has decided to shame people over something they can not control. Find out what, here!

Latest Interview

In her latest interview, Ilyas appears dressed in yellow. The actress is true to herself as she engages with the host on why she wanted to do theatre— she wanted to challenge herself. We know she is bold, daring, and out-spoken. But does everything work under the banner of being those? Unfortunately, it doesn’t.

In a game of ‘This or That’, the host asked her what does she do when she sees short girls? To that, she replied with “I laugh…”

Now naturally, this won’t sit well with everyone. However, Amna Ilyas made it even better (note our sarcasm) and said, “I’m not a racist but I laugh.” Where did racism come from? A person can not control their height so does this mean that they get subjected to Ilyas’ humor? Not at all!

Amna Ilyas then also shared with the public what she looks for in a man. If you guessed it so far, congratulations because it’s obvious. The actress said that she’d choose a tall man even if he was poor but wouldn’t go for a short guy even if he was rich.

It seems that the actress is the victim of an obsession with height.

Amna Ilyas’ Problematic Self

Recently, the actress was called out by Amina Haq, a senior and renowned model. Haq spoke up against Ilyas on HSY’s show and she chose to respond with class. Amna Ilyas called her “moti” but Aminah Haq was proud of how she looked and not insecure over it. As a result, she did not respond to Ilyas with vengeance but with kindness.

The actress also recently made a video in which she kicked a young guy’s head while aiming to kick an apple. Even that got her hate because it was promoting unnecessary violence. Now, these comments on laughing at people’s height and discriminating between them are the cherry on top. Will the actress improve herself or is this a never-ending cycle?

5 Hospitals & Labs in Pakistan Offering Free Mammography Screening

Image source: https://thevideoink.com/

Cancer is always scary but not all cancers are fatal especially if diagnosed early. Breast cancer is the perfect example in that case. Worldwide, it has a high recovery rate. However, in our country, the rate of deaths from Breast Cancer is still large because our citizens lack awareness. To encourage people to get diagnoses, while there are awareness rounds, some hospitals are also providing free mammography services.

Mammography screening

While you should perform a self-test to see if you feel a lump, mammography is even more important. The test is able to detect cancer even when it is too small to be detected by touching. The test usually costs a good amount in Pakistan depending on the hospital you are visiting. However, not everyone is able to afford it. Moreover, at times, parents tend to avoid spending money that may be burdensome to children. Hence, getting an opportunity for free mammography screening should serve as a motivator for them to get themselves checked.

The probability of breast cancer is more in women, of course, men can get it too, and the chances rise after an individual crosses the age of 40. Therefore, while you should get checked once in a while, if you are above 40 you should get the screening every year.

Places for free mammography

Since October has been dedicated to breast cancer awareness, most brands, hospitals, influential become more active for the issue. Some start providing free screening for the whole month. Allocate the month for your yearly screening and try to get to the following places for free mammography.

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.

What Has Syra Yousuf’s Example Been?

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!

T20 World Cup: Twitter Gears Up For Pakistan Vs New Zealand

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.

Pakistan Vs New Zealand

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.

Twitter gears up

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.

Pakistanis are also ready with their meme game fully trusting Babar Azam and the team to give NZ a run for their money.

The most hilarious was possibly a photo of Kohlu and Williamson with a dialogue, “That’s why we ran.”

Of course, if you are making memes, how is it possible to not make apt use of Bollywood instances?

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.
