Price Of Junaid Safdar’s Antique Shahtoosh Shawl Has Left Pakistanis In Shock

The wedding festivities of Junaid Safdar and Ayesha Saif have been reigning on the minds of netizens for a long. Be it the week-long actual events for which many anticipated looks or the aftermath in which the prices of their outfits come to life, people are still intrigued. Now the shawl of Junaid Safdar has taken the main stage as its price came to the knowledge of netizens.

The Shawl

Junaid Safdar wore a gold shawl on his Mehndi event which spoke for itself. The shawl looked fine and considering it was Junaid Safdar wearing it, many already guessed that it would be Shahtoosh shawl. Shahtoosh is a fine type of special wool made from Tibetan antelope and it has, in our culture, become a synonym for Kashmiri shawls.

Have a look at the newly wedded groom wearing the shawl:

Details About The Shawl

Soon after this picture started floating on social media. It showcases seemingly the same shawl however, the details mentioned on it are not easily digestible. Apparently, it is a 7 yards long shawl – the regular. However, what makes it special is the fact that it is 70 years old, making it an antique heirloom shawl.

The person selling the shawl has also mentioned that in original Shahtoosh shawls, once the shawl turns old i.e., 70 years, it can also change its colour. It transforms into a gold-like shade and that is precisely what we can see on Junaid Safdar!

The Price

Now comes the million-dollar question: how much would it be worth? The question is also answered in the post. The original Shahtoosh gold shawl worn by Junaid Safdar costs around $17,000. To convert it to rupees would give you the sum of approximately Rs.30,000,00. Yes, Junaid Safdar was wearing 30 lakhs on himself, in one garment alone.

If you’re having trouble imagining what 30 lakhs can mean, you can get a new Changan Alsvin in Rs.26 lacs— a big car.

What Are People Saying?

Obviously, netizens are shocked to see this but their shock soon transforms into hatred and sadness for how their country is progressing. Have a look at what all they said:

Smartphones are quite essential to people in the world now. They may not have been important to people more than a decade ago but they are now. No matter where you are sitting, you want to stay connected to the world. In fact, it has become more of a need to stay connected to make sure we are up to date with everything. Smartphone purchases have increased quite a lot in Pakistan. Not only are they being bought on a local scale, but they are also being imported into the country as well.

If we take a look at statistics from a year ago, we can see a considerable increase in smartphone imports in 2021. It is true that there is a major increase in local purchases of smartphones in Pakistan. However, there has also been a surge of imported smartphones in the country. Not only are people buying within the country in bulk, but they are also getting devices from abroad in such amounts too. If we look at the data from 2020 and compare it to 2021, there is a difference to note.

smartphone imports and Pakistan — Image Source: dialoguepakistan.com

Smartphone Imports Increase

During the time of July-November 2021, $856 million worth of smartphone imports were done. This shows that quite a big part of the population is going after imported smartphones. Compared to the $724 million of the prior year, there has been a surge of 18%. As the reports suggest, this surge has taken place in the last five months. However, we have to keep in mind that this number could have been higher in 2020, had we not been subjected to the pandemic. Thus, it can also be noted that imports might decrease over the next year or so.

Just recently, the government has become a part of the initiative which proves to increase local purchases. This is because quite a lot of brands are entering Pakistan to manufacture their smartphones on a local scale. Until now, 26 brands are on the roster to begin local production in Pakistan. These include Oppo, Infinix, Samsung, etc. While the taxation on imported devices has increased, it seems that people still continue to buy them in a major amount.

Promoting Local Produce

That said, we hope to see more and more brands enter Pakistan for the purpose of manufacturing. The government wants to see Pakistan become a hub for smartphone manufacture. Their aim is to keep the percentage of local production at 90% within the next year or two. Who knows, with the speed, we are progressing, we might reach this percentage sooner than later.

For now, let us bask in the information that smartphones are here to stay and many more are yet to come.

The sound complimented by the hottest stage kept the celebs and young influencers who were a part of this epic battle energy boosted!

As the opening act, Taha G kicked off the musical showdown with intense energy to get the crowd moving and ready for the night ahead.

Spider-Man: No Way Home – 5 Reasons Why You Need To Watch It

Dec 20, 2021

After much wait, Spider Man finally entered the Marvel universe. Originally from Sony, people did want to see a rendition of the web thrower but how would Marvel weave him or if it ever would be was a question the fans did not have an answer to. But since Peter Parker’s addition, the Marvel universe has become much more fun and the fandom of Spider Man has gotten the well-deserved hype as well.

1. Daredevil

If you are a true Marvel fan, you are not just a pro in the movie verse, you have to be well aware of the seasons as well, otherwise, their appearance will not have as much as an impact on you as the rest of the viewers in the cinema hall. But if you are reading this, so I am going to go on a limb here and say that you are a true follower and are aware of Daredevil. Though small, the iconic scene will have you hooting for Matt Murdoch, a ‘very goof lawyer’ (if you know what I mean).

2. Doctor Strange

It is no spoiler that Doctor Strange would be in the movie. Now, we know of Tony Stark’s importance in Peter’s life but after his death (if you haven’t seen Endgame yet I am not even sorry for this spoiler) Peter was lost, and even Happy could replace Tony. While it is not the same relation between Strange and Peter, Spider Man finds a mentor in the Doc and that is something worth watching.

3. Spider Man(s)

If this is a spoiler, I AM REALLY SORRY. In my defense though, it is on the poster as well. Everyone knows that it will not be just Tony’s Peter in the movie. This is why it becomes a much-needed and unexpected crossover. You will love the spider-men interaction for sure.

4. Identity reveal

Except for the Avengers, almost all Marvel heroes attempt to hide their identities. Spider Man did the same. However, as you can see in the trailer, Peter’s identity gets revealed. How will he be targetted, how extensive will it be, and that too, without Tony to guide in Tony’s way is something we would love to see.

5. College Time

For some reason, the other Spider-Men were not as relatable. Maybe it is because of Tom Holland but the Marvel cinematic verse has made the hero more relatable. This is why we feel like this is such an epic growing-up moment as we get to see Peter apply or college and strive to get in one (relatable even for all the graduated fans who are working full-time.

These are just some reasons that make you watch the movie absolutely necessary. So go and book your tickets so we can discuss some more.

Coeus Solutions Ltd Releases 2021 Remote Work Insights

Dec 20, 2021

Lahore, Pakistan: Coeus Solutions Ltd released its first-ever remote work insights focusing on how organizations are shifting to remote work, the benefits and the challenges they face as well as the opportunities different enterprises see.

“We have seen an overall shift towards remote work in 2021. Most organizations we talk to have accelerated their remote work plans and now are at least partially remote”, said Ahsan Naseem, CEO of Coeus Solutions. “We talk to organizations ranging from largest insurance companies in the world to even smaller outsourcing companies and everywhere the trends are the same. Nearly 80% of the companies we talked to plan to keep remote work as an active part of their strategy.”

“Communication is still a big challenge.” added Qudsia Piracha, Product Lead at Coeus. “While tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Hangout exist, it’s hard to make teams accessible in the same way as regular “open-door policies”, she added. “Other than this, employee engagement is a huge issue. Remote workers are harder to engage than in-office employees. 64% organizations are starting engagement, recognition, and rewards initiatives amongst the companies we talk to. We see a lot of stats from our platform WorkHub.ai and the trend is clear: work practices have shifted for good!” She further added.
WorkHub.ai is the flagship product of Coeus Solutions making Coeus one of the category leaders in the fast-expanding new category of remote work platforms.

Coeus Solutions with their consultants KASB Securities, is on track to list on Karachi Stock Exchange in Q1 2022. This is scheduled to be the first tech listing on the GEM board and has already generated a lot of interest from local and international investors. Coeus also participated in the annual KTrade investor summit in Karachi on 16. December 2021.

New Zealand To Tour Pakistan Twice In 2022-2023

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world. If we were to look at Pakistan only, cricket is the number one sport. It is so deeply rooted within everyone here that you can find a fan in nearly every household. During the days of any cricket tournament, the atmosphere in the country is on a whole different level. In the most recent T20 World Cup, Pakistan had an undisputed streak that left everyone else in the dust. Just before that, we were subjected to ill-placed allegations in the country when New Zealand abandoned their tour.

In fact, their tour took place in the next country they were in, despite there being a security threat there as well. This led us to believe that they might have created a hoax and did not want to include Pakistan in the tour. Thus, a year full of enmity and rivalry followed. However, after that much has happened. New Zealand has made the decision to visit Pakistan twice in the next year, leading into 2023.

New Zealand And Pakistan

According to sources, both NZC and PCB have sat down for mutual talks and discussions. It seems that they are going to be returning to Pakistan to play cricket. In December/January 2022-2023, the team is going to be touring Pakistan for two tests and three ODIs. Additionally, the team is going to be returning to Pakistan in April. Then, they are going to be playing 10 white-ball matches. These are compensation for the tour that they abandoned back in September.

That said, it seems that the Pakistan team is going to be quite busy in the coming year. They are going to be battling out tough matches against the likes of Australia, England, and New Zealand. No matter who comes at us, we are sure to face them with great pride and sincerity. Pakistan is a team that plays well under pressure and the fans are used to such performances.

The Love Of Cricket

We hope that all of these matches take place as scheduled without there being any delays or postponements. We are looking forward to all of them, alongside PSL that is going to take place in between. Who knows, maybe our team manages to retain a streak against all the foreign countries as it did in the T20 World Cup.

Though the couple looks like they are in paradise, netizens won’t allow them to remain there. As pictures from the wedding made it to social media, netizens started commenting on Mushk Kaleem’s husband’s appearance.

As is typical, netizens started commenting on Nadir Zia’s baldness in bad taste. It’s as if people have never seen someone bald before or they believe only people with hair deserve to get married.

What Are They Saying?

Have a look at the comments being left under the couple’s wedding pictures. It is truly awful how some of the comments are so hurtful and deeply negative.

There’s more:

When Will We Escape This Mentality?

Pakistan can not ever rise about the shallow beauty standards created and their harmful effects unless we choose to. So far, it seems people are happy-go-lucky and they don’t care about improving the situation. Why must we collectively bring down someone who looks different? It’s the slightest difference that encourages us to pinpoint the individual and also troll them on perhaps the happiest day of their life.

It is also particularly disheartening to see because we’re not aware why Nadir Zia’s bald. While most times people do choose to be bald, other times several accidents or underlying health issues can be the cause. A little empathy goes a long way.

Amongst making available Coursera programs at discounted rates and providing electric wheelchairs for the disabled, HEC has taken one step further. In empowering the students, the country’s future, they are introducing seed funding for startup ideas that have weight.

HEC Innovator Seed Fund

HEC delved into the details of the ISF explaining that it is a part of Higher Education Development in Pakistan. This project belongs to the World Bank and HEC is implementing it on their behalf in Pakistan. Should you qualify for the funding, you can get it up to USD 35,000. But that will depend on the budget that you require as mentioned in your plans.

The priority fields

While all startup ideas are appreciated, keeping Pakistan’s situation in consideration, some fields will have priority. These fields include:

Agriculture, Food Resources, and Agricultural Technology
Housing, Construction, and Manufacturing
Banking, Microfinance, and Financial Technology
Health Care and Health Technology
Transportation and Logistics
Education and Educational Technology
E-Commerce and Smart Retail
Sustainable Development, Climate, and Energy
Emerging Technologies
Creative, Digital Media, Arts and Culture
Metallurgy and related subjects
Other sectors with potential for growth and impact

In order to be considered, the applicants will have to apply through the HEC portal. There is a specified deadline to apply so make sure you have your idea outlined to have a strong case. The deadline, for now, is January 15th, 2021. The applicant, however, must already be a startup owner and have endorsement from HEC specified Business Incubation Centres. They should also possess a Security & Exchange Commission (SECP) registration number as per Pakistan’s law.

And if you are not a student but would like to guide them towards success, there is also the opportunity to be their mentor. Of course, it is a facility only for people within the mentor pool. But if you are in the pool, then submit a 500 words motivation letter among other documents to the HEC and wait to be selected.

Hopefully, many unicorns will emerge from this initiative.

While we have a number of Pakistani startups that are on the trajectory of success, there are some that are already on the next step. For them, gone are the days when they were just seeking minimal funding. With their business setup, they have managed to woo the investors securing more than $10 million.

1. Airlift

Airlift started out as a transport system. IT would provide affordable premium bus service in Lahore as well as Karachi. However, affected by the pandemic, the public transports had to stop operations. It was then that Airlift turned to grocery delivery. Excelling already in this avenue as well, they have secured a record-breaking $85 million funding in Series B.

2. Bazaar

The business-to-business e-commerce platform, Bazaar has raised $30 million in Series A financing. The platform is made to serve small merchants in Pakistan, hence, the name Bazaar. The startup has more than 750,000 merchants. Moreover, it has a reach of more than 400 towns across Pakistan.

3. Tag

Tag enables firms, both public and private, to provide banking services to employees. These services include employees getting their salaries through Tag account. Moreover, the startups also provide visa-powered virtual and physical cards to conduct transactions. You can sign up on Tag’s portal within three minutes even with the verification of the individual’s identity. The startup has already raised more than $12 million in the seed funding round.

4. Abhi

Another Pakistani financial platform has made quite a name for itself in a very short time. The idea of the startup is to become the first financial wellness platform by addressing accrued wages phenomenon. Through this, the employees can get their salaries when they run out of cash before payday without having to use the means of loans to cover their basic needs. The startup has gathered funds at a $40 million valuation and it is just four months since the firm launched, Bloomberg reported.

5. Jabberwock ventures

The startup is the parent company of Swyft Delivery Solutions and Cheetay Logistics. While they haven’t revealed the official amount, it is being rumored that the investment exceeds the $20 million marker.

6. Tajir

Tajir, another Pakistani startup has achieved the $17 million marker in investments.

Hopefully, in 2022 where COVID will not be as impactful, more Pakistani startups will become a part of this list.

7 Things To Add To Your Diet This Winter

7 Things To Add To Your Diet This Winter — Image source: everyday health.com

Winter season is the best time to nourish the body with some seasonal produce as well as fortify your diet with foods that can really uplift and nourish your body and mood.

Chilly winter weather affects more than just your wardrobe and heating bill. Your body also experiences changes in energy levels, metabolism, and even food preference. It is important to consume a healthy diet that balances all the nutrients in significant quantities during the winter season.

Here is a list of food items which you can include in your diet for a healthy body.

1. Millets, grains

Carbohydrates are the first and foremost component of a balanced diet. Wholegrains are some of the healthy carbohydrates to include in your diet. Whether you eat a hearty Makki ki Roti or some piping hot Bajre ki Khichdi – there are many recipes you can try. Consultant nutritionist Rupali Dutta also suggests eating millets in one form or the other.

“Millets are excellent because they are whole grains, most are gluten-free, loaded with antioxidants, and help keep the body warm since they are nutrient-dense. It’ll not only give your body a welcome break but also give your body all the essential nutrients,” she says.

2. Everything Protein

There are a number of good protein sources for winters. Some winter seasonal vegetables such as peas, beans and spinach are also enriched with protein. Fish, meat and eggs are great sources of good quality protein and can be incorporated into a balanced diet for the winter season. Dutta recommends, “Winters is a good time to have egg, as it is a complete protein. Vegetarians can get equally good quality protein by combining pulses and cereal. The protein quality of the meal goes up rather than having the two separately.”

3. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is much more than just a convenient breakfast food; it also provides nutrients that are essential during winter. Oatmeal is high in zinc (important for proper immune function) and soluble fiber (associated with heart health). Although instant oatmeal is more convenient, it is a bit more expensive. To eat healthy on a budget, go with old-fashioned oats.

4. Soup

Soup is winter’s perfect food — as long as you hold the cream, salt and beef. Look for soup recipes that call for chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water as the base and includes a lot of vegetables.

5. Eggs

Cheer up your dreary winters by consuming eggs on a regular basis. They are a good source of many essential vitamins A, B12, B6, E, K and minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, selenium, essential fatty acids, and proteins. They are essential winter foods as they are one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D, which humans can only get from sunlight and few others foods.

6. Dry Fruit

Nuts are top winter foods because they are warming, hearty and full of vitamin E, B-complex, omega-3s, magnesium, copper, fluoride, zinc, calcium selenium and healthy proteins. So include healthy nuts and seeds as your winter season food sources.

7. Beans

Beans are good winter foods as they make for heartier meals and are a good source of proteins and fiber and many essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, thiamine, riboflavin and B6.
