PISA (Pakistan International Screen Awards) is about to get its second edition on November 5th, 2021. The awards will take place in Dubai and will be acknowledging the efforts of individuals in 24 categories. In these categories, you will find artists from the TV, Music, Fashion, and Digital Content industries. Film is not a part of PISA 2021 due to the pandemic and the consequent lockdown on cinemas.

But for the rest of the categories, allegedly, stalwarts of the industries were employed to be the jury; because there are some nominations that do not make sense at all.

PISA 2021 nominations

Except for the jury awards and the PISA Special awards, all other winners will be decided through online voting.

1. Dananeer Mobeen

Remember the pawry girl? Why would you not? If someone has cashed the one-time hype well, it is Dananeer. Her video went viral and more than her original content, this Indian guy’s touch made it more engaging. However, Dananeer cashed it well and is now seen in numerous ads but getting an award for ‘Most Entertaining Instagram Celebrity’ is just nonsensical.

2. Shahmeer Abbas

Shahmeer has been nominated for the YouTuber of the Year award. Considering his awful prank videos are his content and that he was part of a very controversial scandal, it is just awkward seeing him in the nominations.

3. Sham Idrees

Nominate Zaid Ali or if you are out of nominations for the Vlogger of the Year category. What is this with nominating Sham Idrees? It does not even make sense because his content is half of the time, fake. And at other times, cringeworthy.

4. Zanjabeel Asim Shah

Zanjabeel Asim Shah got nominated for Best TV writer. The project that brought her the recognition was Pyar Ke Sadqay which got aired on HUM TV. In the drama, you get to see an immature girl who doesn’t want to study and only aims to get married. Moreover, it also has her husband’s stepfather hitting on her.

The drama was stupid and got a lot of backlash from the viewers as well.

5. Pyar Ke Sadqay 

Best TV Serial award for the MD and Moomal Entertainment creation does not sit right with me as well and for all the reasons stated above. Considering I, for one, was excited about the show given its stellar cast, was hugely disappointed.

These are a few nominations of PISA 2021 that are not qualified to be on the list and especially be placed next to good selections. But that’s just our opinion. What do you think?

The lovebirds, Ahsan Mohsin Ikram and Minal Khan, have finally reached the days they have been – not so patiently – waiting for. The couple has created a ruckus on social media since the early days of their romance with PDA and expressions of love. Now, as their wedding has started and events begin, Ahsan Mohsin Ikram is all too smitten on his soon-to-be wife and he can’t hide it anymore!

The Video Going Viral

The video going viral on social media is also a PDA video between Ahsan Mohsin Ikram and Minal Khan. Their friend, Sara Ali, owner of Sara Salon and Spa, was making a video with the couple when in the middle the groom kissed the bride on her cheek. This cheeky moment (pun intended) was caught on camera and posted for the public to see. Obviously, Minal Khan is reduced to giggles and surprise but the couple is clearly enjoying the festivities.

Ahsan Mohsin Ikram also acknowledges that the moment has been “caught on camera”. Watch the video here!

Netizens React To The Viral Video

As soon as netizens got a hold of the video, they lost their cool. To their view, the couple isn’t technically married yet as the Nikkah has not been done. What’s all this PDA for? Many are also making fun of the two for always not being able to hold back and doing something which keeps bringing them hate. Others are simply intolerant of them being irritating. Here are their comments which shows you what they think:

Whose Wedding Is It?

Those who are objecting to fiances having a moment between themselves should take a moment and think: is it their wedding? If the answer is no then they should go about their business! We can not make other people’s decisions for them. If Ahsan Mohsin Ikram wants to kiss his soon-to-be wife’s cheeks on their own Mayoun, who can stop them?

The Toyota Motor Corporation is making a speedy entry into the electric vehicle industry. It recently announced that it is investing approximately $100 million to develop electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This is going to take eight years to develop. Starting in 2021 for a sustainable future by 2029— is this smart or a miscalculation?

Why Make Special EV Batteries

Toyota said that it aims to reduce the cost of EV batteries. The corporation is trying to reduce the cost by around 30% which is why the investment is so huge. The cost savings is going to be achieved by experimenting with the compartments of a conventional EV battery. Toyota will be reworking the structure of the cells in order to create affordable EV batteries.

Moreover, Toyota’s latest cars are also being made with the same aim in mind. Toyota’s upcoming all-electric SUV Chief Technology Officer Masahiko Maeda announced that the new cars have improved power consumption. That is an indicator of the amount of electricity the car uses per kilometre which will be also reduced by 30% starting with the Toyota bZ4X.

Benefits of EV Batteries

The EV batteries, in which Toyota has invested $100 million, have many benefits. For instance, they can not only store but also supply more power. Moreover, they take less time to charge faster. Additionally, they are less susceptible to catching fire making the cars even safer. These EV’s are also considered a better substitute for lithium-ion batteries which are used commonly in electric vehicles. However, their short service has not allowed them to become the mainstream.

Investing $100 Million in Pakistan

Toyota also recently announced an over $100 million investment in our own country for the local production of hybrid electric vehicles.

Single National Curriculum Attracts Criticism For Gender Discrimination

Single National Curriculum

With the news of Pakistan getting a single national curriculum, the citizens were already divided. There were some who endorsed it because such a step would lessen the disparity emerging through the level of education amongst people. But there were others who found that a single curriculum might hurt the sentiments of the religious minorities in the country. Amongst criticism, the curriculum was introduced in Punjab.

Single National Curriculum in Punjab

It turns out that it was not just the religious minorities who needed their voice in the curriculum. It has been some time since the curriculum’s introduction, but all of a sudden there was a flurry of tweets on Twitter regarding the books.

Read More: Punjab Implements Single National Curriculum Across Schools

People were utterly horrified at not just what was written but also the visuals of the books. They are not completely wrong. It seems that the curriculum developers are manipulating the subconscious; teaching the children what is the right way to be.

Twitter reacts

Let’s look at some of the tweets and what people felt about the curriculum.

This one netizen observed how the book cover showed that the women sat at the feet of the men. The man and the boy are sitting on the sofa, while the woman and the girl are sitting on the carpet on the floor.

A Pakistani man also took to Twitter an image allegedly from the curriculum. According to this tweet, the curriculum was telling how a housewife should spend her time. Interestingly, the curriculum mentions all the household chores that househelp can do. But mentioning it in the book could potentially teach the future youth that there is a set way of life that a housewife needs to have. Deviation from that would tell the youth that a woman is not a good housewife. Deviation could involve something as a basic as a woman assigning a ‘me-time’ for herself.

People brought in political beliefs as well

Some thought that they could manipulate the issue for political motives. Hence, they started sharing how a Sindhi curriculum book has gender equality whereas Federal government led by PTI broadcasts gender discrimination.

More opinions on gender discriminatory curriculum

There was much more that people felt that they needed to add on the matter. Take a look at the following tweets:

As you know, for any issue while there are people who are against it, there are some who try to show that the situation is not as bad as it is shown to be.

Which side do you pick? Pro-curriculum or against curriculum?

The era of foldable phones is back as LG steps into the game of foldable-screen phones, as it plans to compete with Samsung’s technology. Despite the high price and exceptional technology, Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 still suffers from screen crease. However, the LG is finally planning to release a phone with a foldable screen using better technology than Samsung.

LG’s Latest Technology 

One of the LG companies, LG Chem, has now developed a new foldable screen for smartphones. This unique foldable screen from LG hopes to fix many of the problems that currently affect foldable technology used by Samsung in its exorbitantly priced Galaxy Fold 3 and Galaxy Fold 2 phones.

The new screen from LG folds like plastic but has a look and feel of glass. The “Real Folding Window” is composed of specially developed coatings compared to tampered glass. According to the reports, brands like Google, Apple, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others might be getting their screen supply from LG’s latest technology. Sooner or later, foldable phones will be launched by all the major smartphone companies.

Samsung stepped into the game a few years ago; however, it still faces the two most highlighted issues with the Galaxy Fold series. These include the display crease and less durability.

The specifications of Screen 

According to the company, the phone can be folded more than 200,000 times before it suffers durability issues. The solution also delivers significant improvements to “fold lines” seen on folding areas of the screen. The material or the coating is applied to both sides of a PET film. This can lead to improvement in its heat resistance and mechanical properties. The layer, however, is only a few dozen micrometers thick.

“Unlike existing polyimide films and tempered glass-type materials, the cover window that applied LG Chem’s new coating technologies will maximize flexibility. While also providing optimized solutions for foldable phones such as making improvements to chronic issues like fold impressions on the connecting part of the screen (sic).” A company spokesperson said.

Production And Launch 

LG Chem is hoping to start mass production of the Real Folding Window next year. However, the full-scale production is slated to begin in 2023, around the same time when some major smartphone makers are also expected to launch their foldable phones. Chang Do Ki, VP and Division Leader of Advanced Materials at LG Chem, says the Real Folding Window is a step towards resolving the issues customers find in today’s foldable phones.

Since vehicles are becoming popular, people have been trying to buy them. However, the registration process delay has been quite a hassle for many people. The registration fee is even going to be much lesser than what it was intended originally. It seems the percentage has been reduced to 1% only! This is all a part of the government’s initiative to promote electric cars in Pakistan.

Already the MG HS has been doing well with its combustion engine variant. We expect the same kind of popularity with the electric variant. The specifications are impressive and it is worth every moment of glance and attention it gets. The federal government has even exempted registration fees on two and three-wheel vehicles.

It seems like now everything you do is bound to get criticism, no matter how big or small. Celebrities being in the spotlight are no different, in fact, they are more prone to get backlash from the public. It seems that the netizens have made a habit of criticizing every move of celebrities they follow. Today, the dholki event of Minal Khan is one of the hot topics of discussion on social media. And she, as expected, is getting criticized for it.

Minal Khan And Ahsan’s Wedding Festivities 

The much-awaited wedding of this year has just started, and so have the irresponsible comments. Minal and Ahsan’s dholki event took place last night. However, as soon as the pictures went viral, the posts started flooding with many vile comments. The netizens couldn’t help but notice even the smallest of details and comment about them.

From their outfits to photography and the number of events that might come our way in the future, the netizens can’t seem to handle the wedding of Minal and Ahsan.

Some of them even moved on to make accusations about them being under the influence. The internet really has no chill when it comes to social media.

Take a look at some of the things people had to say about their event.

There is not a single thing that might have escaped the netizens’ notice. Some people even mentioned that they had spent a hefty amount of money for a mere dholki and that money would’ve been put to better use.

You might have heard happy brides are the prettiest, but for Minal being happy came with a dose of criticism as some even resorted to commenting how this marriage is not going to last as she was seen singing and dancing like a boss.

Freedom Of Speach Or Judgement 

The number of judgments people tend to make over social media is getting out of hand. The public’s sentiment has taken a drastic turn in the past few years. While personal opinions are crucial to engaging in a healthy debate, commenting and trolling celebrities just for their sake is really unnecessary and crude.

While this is just the beginning of a new life for Minal Khan and Ahsan Ikram, this is also the beginning of an unlimited amount of criticism and condemnation of their acts since netizens can’t seem to accept that everyone has a life and no one is answerable to them. Nonetheless, the young couple looked happy, and that is all that matters.

[Update: September 8th, 2021]: Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed attracted a lot of criticism for shooting for a music video in Wazir Khan Mosque. Were they doing anything wrong or not, that is a debate for another time but Bilal Saeed did apologise for hurting sentiments.

Arrest warrant for Saba Qamar

They even had an FIR registered against them at the Akbari Gate police station. As part of the legal proceedings, they were required to be present at the court. However, if you are following Saba Qamar on social media you will find that she is is enjoying vacations in Germany.

Failure to appear in the court has resulted in Lahore Court issuing arrest warrant against both, Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed.

[August 2020]: Saba Qamar has recently been making headlines. Ever since she launched her YouTube channel, Saba has been the talk of the town for being vocal about topics that are less talked about in our society. However, this time, Saba recently become the #1 trend on Twitter for other reasons.

On Saturday, Saba decided to share the teaser of her upcoming song ‘Qubool Hai’ with singer Bilal Saaed where she was allegedly seen dancing in a mosque. Netizens got triggered after watching their most-favorite TV actress and twirling inside Wazir Khan Mosque, Lahore.

This is what Saba had tweeted earlier.

 

Here’s what Saba Qamar had to say about all the criticism and apologized for hurting the sentiments of others

Presenting the first teaser of ‘Qubool’🙏🏽 This is also the only sequence that was shot at the historical Wazir Khan Mosque. It’s a prologue to the music video featuring a Nikah scene. It was neither shot with any sort of playback music nor has it been edited to the music track. I won’t explain any further as the full video comes out on 11th of August. The BTS video that’s making rounds on social media was just a circular movement to click stills for the poster of ‘Qubool’ depicting a happily married couple right after their Nikah. Hurting or offending anyone or being disrespectful to a holy place is as unimaginable and unacceptable for me as for any decent human being. Despite this if we have unknowingly hurt anyone’s sentiments we apologise to you all with all our heart. Love & Peace! #Qubool releasing on 11th of August 🙏❤️ @bilalsaeed_music

Later, singer Bilal Saeed also addressed the criticism and apologized for his fans.

Despite the two had apologized for their actions, the netizens didn’t stop there. They wanted a severe action to be taken against it.

CM Punjab takes action on the viral video.

Following the controversy, CM Punjab has finally taken notice of the matter and has asked the respected ‘Auqaf authorities’ to provide him with all the details.

He also added that the role of a mosque is very sacred in Islam and should be respected. Adding on to this, he said that the people involved in this act would face the consequences.

What do you think of Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed’s apologetic video? Let us know in the comments below.

Pak Navy Day is celebrated on the 8th of September so it is only right to acknowledge the efforts of yet another beloved armed force of the country. And when you talk about giving tribute to Pakistan Navy, how can you not talk about the mysterious submarine Diablo (tah e aab doz Ghazi)? Fighting in the 1971 war, the submarine gave a terrible scare to the archrival, India, that it earned the title Ghazi.

Let’s reminisce about the events of 1971 and talk about the submarine Ghazi’s involvement in it.

Submarine Diablo aka Ghazi

The submarine was called USS Diablo and served in the US Army from 1945 to 1963. From then, she was leased out to Pakistan under the Security Assistance Program (SAP). Diablo served as the only submarine in the 1965 war with India. Following the war, the submarine was actively involved in numerous missions and stayed under Pakistan’s flag until 1971.

1971 war

Following East Pakistan turning into Bangladesh, there was yet another war with India. In order to restrict India’s attack on the coast, the submarine with codename Ghazi was dispatched even though, at that time, it was only being used for educational purposes by Pak Navy.

At the time of protecting Pakistan’s sovereignty, Ghazi answered the call and entered Indian waters. Not only did it layout mines that it was known for, but it also established a scare in the minds of the Indian army to not leave their borders and venture into the Pakistani waters. Near Vishakapatnam, the submarine Ghazi successfully placed the mines and then, stationed itself within the Indian borders.

Indian Submarine

Much mystery surrounds Ghazi but the fact of the matter is that the Indian Army assumed Ghazi to be stationed there and hence, did not move forward for days. It was not until a fisherman discovered the oil leakage that India realized the submarine had already been destroyed. So, days after its destruction it had the same power fright over the enemy forces, reinforcing its title Ghazi.

Speculations about Ghazi

Indian army claims the destruction happened by their Naval forces. But Pakistani forces say that it was a misfire of missiles. The mystery explanation continues but that makes room for stories like Sci-fi movies like Project Ghazi.

Is it a similar mystery to that of the Bermuda Triangle? Probably. But the martyred Ghazis sure rule over our hearts. They do so not only on Pak Navy Day but every day that we sleep in peace.

Why This Concept?

BMW wants to reduce the use of materials as much as possible because even the making of one car has become unsustainable. Imagine the cost to the environment when thousands are made. They have started to shift to other means to even decorate their car. The company noted, “For example, the logo of the brand on the front and the badge of the vehicle are lasers engraved to avoid the use of additional parts”.

What’s Made of What?

The car is made technologically designed to suit the future ages. However, its aesthetic is also futuristic. The car has a minimalist and futuristic design with a glass roof. Moreover, the seats inside are developed from recyclable plastic while the other parts will be 3D printed.

The BMW company also announced that the batteries of i-Vision Circular are sustainable. They have been created with 100% recyclable materials. As a result,  the car will produce greater energy without exhausting any resources. Though the price tag hasn’t been revealed yet, we have an idea simply a kidney won’t do.

Sham Idrees or more like Scam Idrees? The Youtuber has laid out one controversy after another as he goes to unbelievable lengths to create content. In a recent event, he attacked a Canadian restaurant Demetres that apparently discriminated against his wife. However, the truth has come to light and it’s not favouring the YouTuber.

What’s The Back Story?

Sham Idrees took to his Instagram that has over 1.4 million followers. He posted about having “the worst experience” at a restaurant in Canada, Oakville called Demetres. He alleged that they refused to serve people of Sham Idrees’ kind because he came with many women who took hijabs. Moreover, he also films another waitress called Jessica who he accuses to be a racist.

The video also shows police coming to escort Sham Idrees and his gathering out. Idrees make the video viral with emotional messages like “we may be a minority but together we are a force”. He later also posted an IGTV in which he retells the incident apparently with all the proofs.

Problematic Enough?

In the very first video that he puts up, what is problematic is him filming waiters and especially a woman without her consent. It is very obvious that he’s secretly filming the waitress ‘Jessica’. If she really was racist and asking him to leave, why not also include her words in the video? The video actually has a tune going on in the background.

Debunked

Twitter users, however, stood with the restaurant called Demetres. People are debunking the entire situation and calling Sham Idrees out for being a liar and twisting the situation. A Twitter user has shared someone’s comment on social media that exposes Sham Idrees. The woman says that she was witnessing the situation as it played out. Sham Idrees came with a group of 22 people and they were respectfully welcomed and they also ordered food.

Later, however, they kept rearranging the tables which were not allowed due to COVID. The group then started using their blogger privilege to force the management to let them do as they please. The woman says that the waiters were still respectful and gentle. In fact, Sham Idrees and his fellows started harassing and yelling at the waiters. The police was called as a result of that.

Huawei has done a lot to improve their upcoming devices and they don’t compromise on quality. In light of that, a new type of smartphone has just been patented by Huawei. It has some extraordinary features and state-of-the-art technology inside it.

This is one of those moments where we feel like the revival of a company is inevitable. In between, Huawei did decide to work quietly. However, now they intend to make a grand entrance, the much-awaited return. As far as smartphones go, the new patented one goes quite far. It may just stretch beyond the abilities of standard smartphones.

Huawei Innovating

According to sources, the patent has been for a rollable display smartphone. That is right, the company has moved towards rollable smartphones. The entire phone cannot be considered as rollable but its display sure is. This gives the user a lot of room to work in, as well as the ability to pack it up. You don’t want to spend your time carrying around a tablet. Instead, simply roll the display back to the size of a standard smartphone.

Of course, it is only in the patent stage now so it may be time before it hits the market. In accordance with finger gestures, one can control the speed at which the display rolls out. All you have to do is hold the number of fingers mapped on each speed. The rolling concept may not be truly new but the gesture part is. It shows that the company is willing to move forward despite there being obstacles and competition.

Rolling A Smartphone

You can even pull out the device using hand gestures in the air rather than on touch. Huawei may be one of the rare companies that intend to work on such tech. It takes a whole other level of technology to actually bring this to life. We hope to see these kinds of smartphones on the market one day. Having an idea counts a lot. It is okay if an idea does not always make it past execution but we can always hope that it will.

Maybe one day we see people pull out their smartphones like people used to do with cardholders. Just pull the smartphone out and the display rolls out further!

The Madness That Is Pakistan Cricket

By

When it comes to Pakistan cricket, there is never a dull day in the office for anyone. Recently, for the World T20 squad and the shock departure of the men’s team head coach, Misbah ul Haq and bowling Waqar Younis, Pakistan cricket is doing what Pakistan cricket does best – playing with the fire. And that too, a few weeks before the showdown at the mega event.

On Monday morning, the PCB Chief Selector Mohammad Wasim addressed a press conference at the ever-so popular Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore where he announced the squad for the World T20. He also said that the squad lacks depth is to say water is wet. It is an understatement to say the least.

Some of the obvious names that are missing out from the squad are Faheem Ashraf, who is a terrific all-rounder, Shoaib Malik, an experienced batsman, and Wahab Riaz, who has a superb record at the PSL in Dubai.

One finds it odd to see the names of Azam Khan, Haris Rauf, Asif Ali and Mohammad Nawaz in the squad. Azam Khan has so far failed in international cricket and hasn’t been able to translate his success to the international level. His wicket-keeping is shoddy and doesn’t merit a place in the team on the pretext of a backup wicketkeeper. The same goes for Haris Rauf who has so far very average numbers in international cricket and is known to concede runs at crucial stages.And the less said about Asif Ali, the better.

Having failed to live up to the expectations, despite a long run with the team, Asif’s selection continues to shock everyone, including the man in the picture himself, who must wonder just what’s going on in the mind of the selectors. Asif has played over 50 international games for Pakistan and is yet to win a game for them. He, however, has cost them many.

Nawaz’s selection is surprising because he is a truly ‘bits and pieces’ player who is yet to find his mojo in international cricket. As if selection blunders were not enough, the manner in which the head coach and bowling coach have resigned only indicates one thing: the new boss in Ramiz Raja will not back down until and unless he has achieved what he thinks is appropriate for the team.

Local media is abuzz with reports that both Misbah and Babar Azam, the all-format captain of Pakistan, were unhappy over the selection of Azam Khan, Sohaib Maqsood and Khushdil Shah. Whatever is the case, there is one thing for sure: Pakistan cricket is operating at a level of madness that is unprecedented. And seeing how madness has often driven Pakistan to desirable results, it only means one thing – are Pakistan winning the World T20 later this year?
