For some time, Karachi also witnessed a better lifestyle. While robberies still happened occasionally, the rate was not daunting as such. Hence, people could still feel confident about leaving their houses with their smartphones easily. However, once again robberies are on the rise. While it is a crime that can happen anywhere, it is more rampant in a few areas compared to others. Therefore, if you are in the city, you should avoid these 5 routes in Karachi. Of course, if you live around these places, tough luck.

1. Shaheed e Millat Expressway 

More than being known for its name, Shaheed e Millat Expressway, the road is more famous for the Baloch Colony Bridge. It provides a shorter route from Shahrah e Faisal to Defense for most people. However, because of that, it suffers from intense traffic jams during the rush hours. The robbers take up the opportunity and commit the crime nearby Iqra University.

2. Korangi Creek Road

When on the Korangi Creek Road, and you are about to turn for CBM, beware. Of course, if you are going to CBM, there is no avoiding it. But recently, we got reports of muggings on that turn.

3. National Stadium Road

Well, not the entire National Stadium road but the part known as Dalmia – the one that houses Bahria University – it does not have the best reputation these days.

4. Rashid Minhas Road

Located on Rashid Minhas Road, the Gulshan Chowrangi section is currently housing a bad reputation. If you have seen it recently, you would know about the bumper-to-bumper traffic jam that is found frequently during evenings.

5. Sindhi Muslim Roundabout

One more location is the Sindhi Muslim Roundabout as you enter SMCHS Block B from Shahrah e Faisal. With numerous offices and yet again, a university nearby, numerous people, including students, suffer at the hands of robbers.

If an unfortunate incident like this happens with you, it is better to not antagonize the robber. Otherwise, they react with their weapons. Do what they tell you to. Do not try to be a hero at that moment. Once they leave, carry out the necessary tasks required after a mugging such as getting your cards blocked and FIR filed. But if you can, just avoid the above-mentioned routes in Karachi.

6 Squid Game Mistakes That Will Make You Re-Watch The Show

Image Source: LaCentral24

While there are numerous amazing South Korean dramas of every genre, Squid Game got lucky partly because of its plot and partly because of the platform it was on. Given that the show was a Netflix original, everyone with access to the platform could watch it. With that, the show became a global hit only a few days after its launch. But did you know there were some major mistakes in the show that when you know about them you’d want to watch it again?

1. The numbers were wrong

All the 456 participants thrown in the gaming arena wake up with a green tracksuit. Each suit has a number on it showing the position of each player in the sequence. Aside from the old man (Oh Il Nam) with 001 and Seong Gi Hun, 456, the only numbers you will see with consistency are of the other main characters. The rest who were the extras in the show, for whatever reason, got replaced, which built up inconsistency. And people spotted that.

In one instance, there is a female player with the number 061. But when they show the elimination of player 061, it is a picture of a guy on the floor panel. The error repeats for three more players – 088, 321, and 331.

Squid Game

2. Spelling mistake

It seems that the obsession with the English language is not just a Pakistani issue. South Korea, even though has Korean as its official language, when showing confidential documents in a drama, they just have to show English words on it.

Image Source: Remonews

Squid Game also did that. When the detective sneaked into the arena, he starts looking up information. This is how he ends up in the file room where when skimming through the papers, they show a major mistake. As is common with almost all shows, to show confidentiality, the document is marked with a huge red stamp. In the Netflix season, it does that with a wrong spelling; SECRET became SCRERT!

3. One Participant was 124 years old

Another major mistake, we find that the drama creators made a participant be 124 years old. Let’s get into the details, shall we?

The participant, 013, gets his time in the spotlight in game number 5. When hopping onto the glass through his own technique of determining false panels, the Front Man decides to look at his file. From the file, he finds out that 013 worked at a glass factory for many years. Zooming in on the DOB, however, may send you on a laughter spree. The date of birth written there is 1897, making the player 124 years old.

4. The umbrella shape

In the game with the sugar tablets, you’d remember that there were different shapes. Players had to carve the shapes out. One of these shapes was an umbrella. While there couldn’t be many renditions of the other shapes (circle, triangle, star), the umbrella could. And this is what happened with Gi Hun.

Read More: Why Is Squid Game Trending On Netflix? Here’s Everything You Need To Know

When the game starts, the umbrella has a straight line below the dome shape. But a few moments in, the umbrella changes to point curves.

5. When Gi Hun was supposed to get richer

With KRW 45.6 billion in his pocket (or a few million less given how he changed colours and donated some money to Sang Woo’s mom), he should have been shown to get richer. Instead, he had a downgraded phone. Apparently, some nitpickers found out that before the game Gi Hun had Samsung S7. But in the airport scene, he had Samsung S3.

6. The protagonist eats air

Most often in the shows, the actors only pretend to eat or drink. If you notice closely, you would see (especially, in Pakistani dramas) that actors have empty cups when having tea. But in Squid Game, even though there is actual food in front of the actors, Gi Hun pretends to eat. They are able to figure it out because Gi Hun is shown munching and yet the food is untouched.

Daraz Pakistan Records A Strong 11.11 With Sales Worth 66 Crore In The First One Hour

With record-breaking numbers, Daraz has undoubtedly become the shopping platform of choice for Pakistanis as millions of users visited the platform to make purchases and take advantage of the discounts and deals that were exclusively available on 11.11.

 

Bushra Ansari and Iqbal Hussain, New Target Of Social Media Trollers?

Bushra Ansari and Iqbal Hussain

The rumor of famed actress Bushra Ansari getting hitched with famous director Iqbal Hussain after divorcing her previous husband Iqbal Ansari is spreading like wildfire.

Though the director Iqbal Hussain refuted the rumors of his marriage to veteran actress Bushra Ansari and it seems like that this was only a fabricated gossip.

We didn’t hear anything from Ansari at the moment, but this bogus news has been busted by online publications and even her fans came forward in her support.

According to Metronome the news of Bushra Ansari tying the knot with Iqbal Hussain was entirely false. The online publication reported, “A rumor is doing rounds on social media that veteran actress #BushraAnsari has tied the knot but that is not true. Please refrain from sharing such sort of posts to malign someone’s image and reputation. The news is fake. Thanks”

The audience has mixed reactions towards the news, some just brushed off the rumor and others only laughed at the entire situation.

The actor and director Iqbal Hussain has been part of Pakistan’s entertainment industry for quite some time. The director is a known name in the drama industry and has been behind some major projects like Seeta Bagri, Nazr-e-Bad, and Deewar-e-Shab.

On the other hand actress, Bushra Ansari is currently starring in Deewar-e-Shab with her sister Asma Abbasi. Lately, the sisters also dropped a Punjabi song Humsaye Maa Jaye promoting a message of cross-border peace and harmony which was also directed by Iqbal Hussain.

Rumors like these keep surfacing on social media and the masses fall prey to such nonsense. In a nutshell – another reason for actress Bushra Ansari and director Iqbal Hussain being in the limelight was this false broadcast!

Gaming is one of the most engaging activities out there. Despite there being so much to play, we never seem to get all of it. You may spend a whole summer playing video games, and still not reach that level of expertise. The domain is so huge, people can’t seem to get enough of it. On top of that, the gaming conferences, every year, bring so much for us to do, for us to see. Just a while back, we were introduced to the newest installment in the Forza franchise.

7 Pakistani Drama OSTs Of 2021 That Are Worthy Of Being In Your Playlist

shehnai pakistani drama osts
Image Source: YouTube

Unpredictability is the forte of Pakistani dramas. At times, you get the entire package, and at times, you get a problematic storyline. For instance, in 2019, we saw a Pakistani drama, Ishq Zah e Naseeb which had an amazing cast, good acting, well-developed characters, and a great OST too. At the same time, the industry is also capable of producing Mere Paas Tum Ho which may have a great OST but the story was controversial. Moral? Never judge a book by its cover.

But how about, we rate the cover for today? Let’s look at the Pakistani drama OSTs of 2021 that struck a chord with you.

Read More: Is Glorifying Suicide In Pakistani Dramas The Only Way To Show A Story?

1. Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thy

Mahira Khan starrer, Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thy is a Pakistani drama we were looking forward to. It is based on a novel that did not show Mashal fighting with Mehreen for a guy. She makes it clear that she is not fighting for Aswad. In the drama, however, on her last day, Mashal is seen looking at Aswad’s picture longingly. They may have tried to keep the story intact but these subtle cues make Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thy another of the run of the mill Pakistani dramas with two girls fighting over a man.

That said, Yashal Shahid did a great job for sure. Ever since its release, we have been humming the song all day long.

2. Shehnai

After Ishqiya, Shehnai is another song by Asim Azhar that has us in a trance. The song perfectly blends with the genre of the show, which is comedy. It is rare to find comedy-themed dramas that are not telefilms or Ramadan specials in the Pakistani drama industry. A new concept, ARY Digital did give its best attempt because the drama started out great. Midway, it started dragging. However, even now, if someone plays the ‘Hum Tu Hare Sub Tere Hi Agey‘ we sing with all our might, ‘Thay Dewane Teri Adaa Pe Youn

3. Khuda Aur Mohabbat Season 3

Two seasons under its belt, the name, Khuda Aur Mohabbat gets another story. Starring Iqra Aziz and Feroze Khan, two iconic actors, the drama is sure to be a masterpiece. Although, those who have followed it are not that excited the OST has won our hearts most definitely. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is already a star who has transcended boundaries but Nish Asher also gave a performance that people will remember for years.

4. Azmaish 

We have already spoken too much about Azmaish and our reservations about it. But Nimra Mehra and Rizwan Anwer have sung a song that brought us back to the drama every time the story made us quit.

5. Pardes

Sarmad Khoosat, a director who has a great track record, and Shaista Lodhi, the renowned morning show host; the two unite for Pardes. Amanat Ali and Sithi Saha sang the OST for Pardes that resonated with a number of families because of the idea in the story. It is based on people who go abroad and do hard labor to give a better lifestyle to their families.

6. Fitoor

Another 2021 Pakistani drama goes by the name of Fitoor. Shani Arshad and Aima Baig led their melodious voices for the creation of the song. Given how great of a singer Aima Baig is, it does not come as a surprise that the OST made it to this list.

7. Raqs e Bismil

Vicky Akbar gives the voice to a story that is different from the other stories. Of course, it has elements that show a man’s toxic love that continues because he finds himself to be genuine and continues to pursue the girl no matter how much she says no. But the OST was good enough to be on the list.

Did you like any of these OSTs? If there are other OSTs that are better suited to be counted here, let us know in the comments below.

foodpanda Launches Pilot Project For Food Delivery By ‘Pandafly’ Drones

Islamabad, November 12, 2021: foodpanda, Pakistan’s leading food delivery company, and also the country’s leading e-commerce platform overall, today launched a pilot project to test food delivery through a customized drone. Conducted in association with the office of the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad, the test flight of the drone, named pandafly, took place in the F-9 Park Islamabad. A food package weighing approximately 2.5 kgs was taken from a restaurant at one end of the park by a foodpanda rider and loaded into the drone’s storage bag. The drone then delivered the package at the other end of the park, where it was collected by another rider and distributed to children invited from Sweet Homes for the occasion.

The use of disruptive technology by foodpanda in the future will mean faster deliveries over longer distances. Further customers living in peri-urban and remote areas will especially benefit, as they have limited options of food outlets in their local area, and with drone delivery, they will be able to order food from main urban centres as well. The last mile of delivery by drone will be completed by a foodpanda rider. Also to be noted is that this is the first of its kind commercial drone made in Pakistan for this purpose and foodpanda is thus supporting development of local technology.

Speaking on the pilot launch occasion, Nauman Sikandar Mirza, the CEO of foodpanda stated, “foodpanda’s core ethos is to constantly innovate, stretch the limits and leverage technology to find great solutions for meeting the evolving needs of the people. Before we start actual drone deliveries for our customers, there are still many aspects that need to be thoroughly evaluated and locked in, including technical, operational and legal matters and we are vigorously addressing all these. The successful test flight and delivery today has been highly encouraging and proves we are on the right flight path!”

The Deputy Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Hamza Shafqaat and his office collaborated closely with foodpanda for the pilot project and the DC was also the Chief Guest at the launch event. Expressing his views, he said, “e-commerce and the use of technology to serve the citizens is definitely the future, and the Islamabad civil administration stands committed to support anyone who takes the initiative to provide greater convenience and facilities for the public. We wish foodpanda all the best in now turning this pilot project into a regular operational service.

The launch event was also attended by dignitaries, representatives of the media, some celebrities and social media influencers.

From ICU To Making Half-century: Rizwan In Pak Vs Aus Semi-final

Rizwan has come back to play from ICU after two days
Image Source: bdcrictime.com

Cricket is hardcoded in the veins of almost every Pakistani there is. It is said that people here learn to walk later, play cricket first. It makes sense that we have so much support for our cricket team. After all, we do not have an international representation everywhere so we must make the best of it. Pakistan had been undisputed throughout the entire tournament and the team deserves nothing but our respect. All our players performed in the most superb manner and played valiantly. One of the players, Muhammad Rizwan, actually got up from his ICU bed to come to play for the country!

That is right, as being seen in the news circulating online. In a picture that has been shared, he was seen to be lying in an ICU word just days before the semi-final. What kind of spirit must the man hold that he went from ICU to T20. Not only that, he managed to pull off a majorly impressive score while he did it too!

Rizwan And Superb Performance

Social media has certainly been celebrating the valiance and bravery of Muhammad Rizwan and are calling him a true hero of the entire world cup. He has managed to shatter all expectations and has gone above and beyond to play for the country. In the semi-final, he was even playing with his helmet off, showing how determined he was.

Read More: T20 Semi-Final: Twitter Applauds Pakistan’s Performance In The World Cup

To see such a person rise from the bed of illness, and step into the fighting arena, speaks volumes about his character. He is one of the sportspeople who come rarely in a generation and he deserves every bit of appreciation he gets. In fact, he deserves more than that!

A True Hero

No matter which team you support, there is no doubt that you support Muhammad Rizwan for his effort. To think that he managed to stand up, in the condition he was in, and come play. Not only did he just play, but he also played quite well. Scoring half a century in the semi-final, in less than 100% health truly makes him superhuman. He cannot be allowed to go quietly into the night. We support him and his spirit with every moral fiber of our body.

If we can do this, who knows what else he can achieve in the next T20 world cup. Our love and support are with him and we wish him nothing but the best for his future journeys.

This Sizzling Brownie Paan Has Ruined Paan For Everyone

If there’s one dessert that has come about to be a hit across age groups, it has to be the brownie. A mix between a dense fudge and cake, the brownie is truly a feast for the senses. This is why we commonly find chocolate brownies with ice cream on the menu of many popular restaurants. However, one fusion brownie prepared by a restaurant in India has left the internet stunned. Twitter users came across a weird ‘Paan Brownie’, and it indeed left a bad aftertaste in the mouths of many internet users.

Brownie Paan

Since it was uploaded on Twitter, the video has amassed more than one lakh views along with outrageous reactions from netizens. People expressed their disappointment over the unusual pan and brownie dish, while many even accused the cook of preparing it. Some even said they wouldn’t eat pan after watching this video, and some said they would like to taste it. A large number of people expressed displeasure at seeing that they ruined both brownies and paan for them.

Take a look at the video here:

In the viral video published on Twitter, a person is seen preparing a bizarre pan. The video opens to show a piece of chocolate brownie kept on a heated plate on top of which he drizzles some amount of chocolate sauce. Then he adds a scoop of vanilla ice cream, another layer of chocolate sauce, and finally a paan twist.

Twitter Reacts 

While the weird creation did look aesthetically appealing, Twitter users could not understand the need to innovate the dish in the first place. Several people thought that the combination of Paan and chocolate was indeed a bad idea. Others wondered why such innovations were found mainly in Gujarat only.

The post mostly left netizens unsure of the combination, with some even accusing the makers of ruining both brownies and paan for them. Nevertheless, there did seem to be a few takers for the unique treat. One person pointed out that they have seen worse combos like Oreo Pakodas.

Take a look at the reactions.

Paan Brownie is not the only bizarre dish to have gone viral in the recent past. A street food stall in Ahmedabad recently grabbed our attention with a curious and strange Oreo Pakoda. Believe it or not, the chocolate cream biscuits were dipped in a besan batter and then deep-fried!

What are your views on the weird food combos? Let us know in the comments below.

Electric Cars Will Be Popular in Near-Future: Here are 5 Reasons Why

ElectricCarLead

The decreased oil prices in the global market is being seen as a threat to the future of Electronic Vehicles (EVs), which emerged as the alternative when oil prices started to touch the sky. Despite oil prices making efforts to decrease bit by bit, EV models still have a prosperous future.

Here’s why electric cars can become the future of our country.

ElectricCarsInner

1. Battery Costs are Dropping Faster

The battery used in EVs makes it expensive than the gasoline cars which is one of the biggest challenges for it to enter into the mass market. Good news is that industry experts and automakers are working to cut down battery prices below $150 per kilowatt-hour in the next few years.

ElectricBattery

As per predictions, electric cars would be cost competitive in comparison with gasoline cars (purchase plus fuel costs) by 2022.

2. Longer-ranged EVs Coming out at Affordable Prices

The longer ranged electric cars can travel 200 miles on a single charge, and are being made available to showrooms by the end of this year. Chevrolet Bolt will be the first of this range electric car with expected price of around $30,000 with tax credits.

ChevyBolt

Tesla’s Model 3 and Nissan’s next generation, longer range LEAF to follow the suit of Chevrolet Bolt in next year. The longer range and affordability of EVs will create more space for these vehicles in the auto industry.

Suzuki to Invest $460Mn in Pakistan if New Auto Policy Revised

3. More Charging Stations to be Installed

A few charging stations for a higher demand works as a barrier for the wider use of EVs.

ChargingStations

Even if the sale of EVs soars high, the non-availability of charging stations to comply with the need is a utility problem for these cars. Companies like Google, Coca-Cola Walgreens, Nissan, BMW, and VW are planning to install charging stations at workplaces, apartment complexes, campuses, transit stations and other public gathering places.

4. Environment-Friendly Cars with No Carbon Pollution

EcoFriendly

EVs will be adopted by a vast majority in years to come as carbon pollution in our environment has exceeded above alarming level. Experts across the world are looking for ways to reduce this pollution and they highly recommend using EVs to protect our environment.

5. Auto industry Welcomes EVs and Increasing Competition

Even though a few car makers are not interested in manufacturing new EVs, the others are investing a huge amount to bring new EV models in the market.

The competition to stay relevant in the auto market will force all car manufacturers to produce latest, hi-tech electronic cars.  The first EV came to the market way back in 2010 and only two models in that year were launched.

ElectricCarDemandIncrease

But now over almost six years, we have more than 25 EV models today in the auto market. In the next three years, the number of EVs will cross over 50 as 16 EV models are in the pipeline for the next year. 

EVs’ sales increased globally for up to 60 percent in the last year and according to predictions, will account for 35 percent of new car sales globally by 2040. EV’s sales grew up to 9 percent as compared to the last year figures, in the first two months this year.

But then again, trends are always changing, there is no telling when an automobile will come and sweep the lime-lights away from every other car.

How To Be A Typical Brown Aunty 101 in Pakistan

Image Source: Hum Tv

The brown aunties are a rare specimen of the brown community. We say rare because although they outnumber us, it is impossible for us to ever replicate them. Their qualities and personalities are so unique, we have to admit they just might be talented since birth. But, if you’re ever interested in being one, here’s your helpful guide (perhaps costume idea for next Halloween?)

Be More Interested In Others

One of the most important traits is to always be more interested in the other and be ignorant of your own self. Keep a diary of who is about to turn 20 in your family, which son is doing what job, who has had how many kids, and who has how much money. This will help you network and also give the best taunts when the time comes. Eat a lot of almonds to remember all this.

Take Care of Your Eyes

Your eyes are a very important tool in your toolbox. You have to rotate them around the room to pick out small details like which brand is used where and also move them up and down to evaluate humans. Are they fat or are they not? How much skin is showing? Your eyes really will become the windows to the world.

Gossip Over Oxygen

For brown aunties, gossiping is the core of their universe. It’s what makes them excited and gives them a purpose to live. Start gossiping every chance you get be it at home or outside to keep the other person engrossed. Your analysis is very important. Don’t forget to say “sannu ki?” at the end.

Hide Everything of Yourself

Brown aunties also passionately and severely believe in nazar. It’s as if the entire world is only existing to put nazar on their belongings alone. They will hide everything of their own and keep it a secret while also giving sadaqah every 10 minutes to ward off the evil eye. Extra points for wearing the evil eye bracelet.

Lament About The Young Generation

The young generation is their enemy because they finally have started responding back to the brown aunty’s taunts. Constantly talk about how kids of today have no respect for elders and how their life is ruined since they marry so late and have such less children!

Match-make For Everyone

Lastly, you need to be always matchmaking. At day, at night and in your dreams. Match every girl you see with any boy you know without their parents’ invitation. “Iski shaadi isse kara dou, set hojayeinge” should be one of your typical dialogues.

A New Virus Spreading In Karachi? Here’s What You Need To Know

A Mysterious Virus Spreading In Karachi Is Causing Dengue-Like Symptoms
Image source: dawn.com

According to clinicians and pathologists, several ‘mysterious viral fever’ cases are being witnessed in Karachi. The symptoms behave precisely like the dengue virus. Reduced platelets and white blood cell count in patients is reported. However, when tested for dengue, the result comes out to be negative.

A New Infection On The Rise?

Several physicians and hemato-pathologists from different hospitals of the city have confirmed the incidence. According to them, the dengue virus-like pathogen is circulating in Karachi. This pathogen is causing a disease that is acting similar to dengue fever and requires the same treatment protocols, but it is not dengue fever.

“For a couple of weeks, we are seeing cases of a viral fever. While the patients platelets and white blood cells are dropping, other clinical symptoms are also similar to the dengue fever. But when NS1 antigen of these patients is performed, their tests come out to be negative,” Prof Saeed Khan, head of molecular pathology at the Dow University of Health Sciences, said.

In light of the current dengue and the mysterious virus situation in the city, the hospitals and blood banks across Karachi face an acute shortage of mega units and random units of platelets. Clinicians are now advising people to take precautionary measures to prevent vector-borne diseases like dengue fever and malaria.

According to Prof Khan, it could be another virus from the family of ‘Arboviruses’, causing diseases like dengue fever. “We have even performed the PCR test to see if it is dengue virus but it is not the dengue virus. It is not Zika virus because Zika virus behaves differently. There is also little chances of this virus being any unknown variant of the dengue virus,”

Doctors Statements 

Dr. Zeeshan Hussain, a senior hemato-pathologist associated with a public sector health facility, said that fortunately, the mysterious viral fever resembling dengue had so far not resulted in any death. He added that they were treating patients infected with this virus as if they had contracted dengue.

“So far, this virus has not caused haemorrhagic fever by reducing platelets of a patient where bleeding starts. Most of the patients infected with this unknown virus are responding to conventional treatment,” Dr Hussain added.

Haematologist and physician Dr Saqib Ansari says that the phenome of patients having dengue-like symptoms and not testing positive is not new. We have seen multiple cases in this regard ever since 2008. However, more research needs to be done before coming to any conclusion.

“I have seen cases where patients were dropping platelets. However, their SGPT was on the rise and they had classic symptoms of dengue fever but their dengue test came out negative. There is a possibility that false-negative results are being reported. So, there is a need for more research in this regard,” Dr Ansari said.

Pak Vs India: Advertising During The T20 World Cup – Who Did It Better?

t20 world cup

T20 World Cup, a cricket tournament that has the honor of making even those not too much into sports get glued to their TV screens. Plus, with Pakistan staying unbeaten for five matches in a row and getting to the semi-finals, the whole nation was watching. This must also be the case in India because cricket is something that is equally important to the archrivals. Hence, automatically the brands on both sides of the borders get active with their advertising.

T20 World Cup: The ads

The channels make all their earning in this time from the ad slots that get even pricier during the world cup matches. While the brands can’t have complete ads playing in between overs, they are able to sneak in a quick glance of it in a few seconds. And it makes the most difference because the audience won’t change the channel. They are too excited about the match. As a result, brands can get the most effective result. But who advertised?

Who advertised: Pak Vs India

When watching Pakistani channels for the cricket match, of course, the ads will differ for each channel. However, we will be looking at the products that are being advertised. These ads are, as you would recall, for bubblegum, for food, for detergent, for moisturizers; you get the gist.

We do have to appreciate a few brands that did impress us with their products. Those brands could be counted on the fingertips; Alfa by Bank Alfalah or HBL Konnect.

As for India, while it is not possible for us to have seen what they were streaming on cable TV, you could do so through the internet. And you will find that their products had an entirely different range that they promoted. It includes ads for cryptocurrency, ads for software learning, apps for education.

The entire ballgame is different there.

What the viewer is watching, then defines their world, their trajectory of growth. After watching these ads, while Pakistanis will know what to wash their hair with, the Indians would know how to invest money in cryptocurrency or where to seek its relevant education from.

So, who needs to be better: the channels, the brands, who?

Malala Shares How She Met Her Husband Asser Malik

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani Nobel Laureate, and girls education activist recently tied the knot in a small, humble yet gorgeous ceremony. Her husband, Asser Malik, since then has made several headlines because the world wants to know who the famous personality married. Now Malala opened up about her marriage and partnership with Asser Malik and here are all the details!

How Did They Meet?

The two have known each other for three years now. It was the summer of 2018 that Asser Malik was visiting his friends at Oxford and their paths crossed! Malala said since he worked in cricket, she immediately found a lot to discuss with him. Asser Malik couldn’t resist Malala’s humour and charm and so, their friendship developed.

The two realised they had common values and really enjoyed each other’s company! Malala’s recount of her friendship is more than heart-warming as she says “We stood by each other in moments of happiness and disappointment.” She attributes his help in her moments of life’s ups and downs and believes she also acted as his pillar. However, the funniest thing which made us realise Malala is a lot like us is when she shared this. Malala sent him a link to their horoscope compatibility to give him signals!

The Wedding Preps

It’ll come as a surprise but Malala’s wedding outfit was sourced from Lahore, Pakistan! Her gorgeous jewellery was provided by Asser’s mother and sister. As always, desi dads can’t handle the food and so, her father booked the food and decorations. Her assistants were in charge of organising the photographers and the make-up artist (and we have to admit we want their numbers).

Her best girlfriends from school and Oxford took leaves from their occupations and reached the wedding house! The best part is also how Malala put mehndi on her own hands and discovered she was a pro at it. The day before the wedding, the couple spent several hours in the mall to buy Asser’s pink tie and pocket square and Malala’s sandals.

Malala’s Contention With Marriage

Her remark that she doesn’t understand why people have to get married has been misconstrued. Malala clarifies her stance and suggests that marriage has been a scary and repelling institution in her eyes since childhood. She recalls how many girls she grew up with either got married against their wish or got married when all else failed.

Imagine seeing your friends of 14 years of age be pregnant! Malala had an issue with how marriage is seen as servitude in our community and thus, the remark. However, her partnership with Asser Malik has taught her marriage can be beautiful.
