The technological world is full of engaging events and activities. From gaming conventions to mobile reveals, these industries have it all. The Mobile World Congress 2021 is one that is an event not to be ignored. Whether you are an avid smartphone user or an occasional user, you might still want to tune in. In light of this, Samsung has something to tell the world today.

The company has been operating quietly since they first revealed the Samsung Galaxy new series. However, news about the event has been flying about here and there ever since. People want to see what the company has in store now and they are anxiously awaiting. However, a smartphone series may not be the only thing that Samsung is set to announce.

Samsung And The Event

It seems that Samsung has recently made an announcement. They expect to be part of the Mobile World Congress 2021, but a bit before it. Yes, there is a new Samsung reveal event coming in June, almost merged with the MWC. However, the event itself is said to be a virtual one and something everyone can enjoy. The pandemic has shifted the world towards virtual events and this means anyone can join them.

While the exact details of the reveals are unknown, we do have an idea as to what Samsung has planned. The date of the event has been confirmed to be June 28th, which is less than a week away now! Additionally, the company has also said that they will announce new smartwatches. We are well aware of how well those products perform so the audience is expecting this reveal too. We expect to see the new Wear OS 3.0 too, made in collaboration with Google.

Samsung Rising

Since the event itself is centered around ‘Galaxy’ we may see other reveals too. This includes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3 as well as the S21 fan edition. This is for the nostalgic factors of longtime Samsung fans. The Samsung Galaxy MWC Virtual event will live stream on Youtube.

Make sure you don’t have any pending errands when you tune in because you will be in for quite a ride. Samsung is not a company that gets by on mediocre releases and events. They make sure that the world knows what they are doing. We hope you have fun watching and maybe get intrigued to go after a product.

The world of gaming continues to rise each and every day. Whether you are an avid gamer or not, the hobby must intrigue you at some point. E3 is one of the most anticipated events each year and they release quite the trailers. Let us see which open-world games you should look forward to in 2021.

There are many genres under which games are made. However, the concept of a sandbox is what attracts a lot of players. The ability to move about the map without restricted paths is an attractive feature for many gamers. In light of that, we dive into this list of upcoming open-world games 2021.

1. No More Heroes 3

A lot of people are die-hard fans of this game series. It finally has a third part releasing now and the hype is more than ever. The hack and slash series puts you in the shoes of the protagonist. The game is open-world and has quite a lot to offer to the player.

2. Hazel Sky

This game lies in the survival and mecha genre. It puts you in the place of a person stranded on an island. They must survive, build and navigate through every inch of it. The open-world perspective here is quite mysterious and we must get the hero home in one piece.

3. The Eternal Cylinder:

This game is quite unique in what it’s trying to accomplish. Players play as bizarre-looking creatures that must navigate through a hostile planet. Predators roam everywhere and we can learn new things. Evolutions include learning to breathe underwater as well as learning to fly.

4. Far Cry 6

Fans of this game series are already aware of what they are in for. One of the most outstanding parts of this franchise is the villains. From Vaas in Far Cry 3 to Gus from ‘Breaking Bad’ in Far Cry 6, they have everything. The open-world game is set to release soon and is expecting a lot of audiences. Keep an eye out for more gameplay.

5. Dying Light 2

This is the upcoming sequel to one of the best open-world zombie games ever. It features an entire parkour system, all in the first-person mode. However, this time there will be no guns in the game and the zombies will be fiercer. Hold on to your hats because it is about to get hectic.

6. S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

As we already discussed once, this is one of the most highly anticipated games. It pays homage to the older games of the franchise and seems quite scary, to be honest. The world is open for you to explore and the creatures that roam are gritty and real. Let us not play this game with the lights out.

7. Gotham Knights

While it has been a while, we expect this game to be released sooner than later. It is set in a world after the events of ‘Arkham Knight’. Players step into the shoes of robust characters like Nightwing, Batgirl and Robin. We are still hoping to see Batman in it, though! What is Gotham without its famed Dark Knight!

On father’s day when almost everyone shares their moments with their dads, those who have been somewhat distant are unable to relate. Hania Aamir had shared some time ago about what she felt on this topic on mother’s day. While it takes courage ‘talking about’ your estranged father, it also takes courage ‘talking to’ your estranged father; and Sonya Hussyn shared such a moment on her social media.

Sonya Hussyn shares audio call

Sonya shared a clip that was a recording of a WhatsApp call with her father. In that call, she wished him a happy father’s day and told him that she loves him. The father broke down at this. Crying, he thanked her. The actress ended the call and shared a heartfelt caption, a message to her father.

“To,
Pyary abbu,
(Syed Tanveer Hussyn shah bukhari)

If there ever was anything missing from my life, it was that I never got the chance to tell you how much I love you. Or shayad aj bhi nahi keh saki theek sy.
But today after hearing the words ‘I love you too’ from you, made me feel like my life’s purpose was complete. You know abbu, right now my hands are trembling as I am writing this. Words feel incomplete while penning emotions racing through my heart and soul. bohat mushkil laga bohat bohat bohat mushkil.
But, Today, I can happily scream…I love youuuuu, I’ve always always always loved you. Bus fasly itny thy k kabhi himmat nahi ban paye kehny ki . My fault!! M Sorry that I took 26 years to tell you this. Thankyou ALLAH …..
Aaj k baad, ye hamesha ka sath. IA”

In an interview with Samina Peerzada, Sonya had shared how her father married the second time and left the mother in hopes for a son. After that, the distance just grew more and more. It was because of that that Sonya decided to work from a very young age and support her family.

Not only contacting her father, telling him that she loved her but also making it public, required bravery. Netizens, be it the masses or celebrities, shared encouraging messages.

Celebrities included Maya Ali, Feroze Khan, Yumna Zaidi, and Saadia Khan among others.

Fans also shared their own experiences on the post. They talked about how this post made them cry because most of them are either unable to express their loved ones because they are not comfortable with them or their parents are no more with them.

6 Fashion Tips To Ensure You’re Always Looking Stylish

Many of us are shopaholics yet when the time comes to strut our stuff, we rarely feel confident. Here’s a guide to always look your fashionable best without any exception.

1. Everything Must Be Tailored to Perfection

You can make any purchase of yours look high-fashion and expensive with a good tailor on speed dial. We don’t appreciate this enough in Pakistan. Tailored clothing is the key to looking polished and feeling comfortably confident. Pants that drag on the ground and shirts that are either too tight or too loose don’t give you anything.

2. Develop A Distinct Personal Style 

For some people, it takes a lifetime to develop what they call ‘personal style’. However, it’s never too early to start. Always remember that personal style is always developed through experimentation. Shop from whichever section you like best. Be bold, be subtle. Play with colours, textures and silhouettes to pick the most suitable ones.

3. Be A Mindful Shopper

None of this can be done if you do not become a better shopper. You need to know, at all times, how to shop for exactly what you want. Going out on a whim and getting whatever you like is a waste of money and closet space. When your wardrobe is full of pieces you love and need, stylish outfits will become a second skin.

4. Be Playful With Colours

If your nature does not sit well with colours, start with just one coloured piece. This way you will be doing an experiment while keeping the rest of the outfit neutral. As you build your comfort, you will learn which colour combinations suit you more.  

5. Learn How To Balance Proportions

Balancing proportions is also the key to creating a stylish outfit. Always know, one tight piece must be complemented with something loose and vice versa. The way one can achieve this is by wearing clothes that are fitted to your body shape. Only then do you create a balanced outfit that creates a stylish moment? For example, pair a crop top with wide-legged pants.

6. Don’t Go For Every Trend

There are so many trends floating on the internet all the time. Know that in order to look stylish and develop a personal style, you don’t need to try every trend. Stay within the parameters of what looks good on your body and only try those. For example, if you have broad shoulders and want to give the illusion of smaller shoulders, don’t try off-shoulders.

Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statements always gather eyeballs because of the controversial choice of words. Some time ago, he had made a statement regarding vulgar content on the media and people had reacted quite harshly to it. Today PM Imran Khan is the highlight for making statement that seem to make him a rape apologist.

PM Imran Khan and his recent statement

On the interview with HBO, he said that if women wear few clothes, there will be an impact on men. Well, that is understandable because if good looking men wear revealing and fitted clothes, women will also be attracted to them. But then the PM went on and said the problematic statement. When the interviewer asked that does the PM think that the dresses of women lead to sexual violence (aka rape), he replies that it depends on the socity. The statement implied that in our society it does.

People react to the PM

People were horrified and disappointed at this statement. Bloggers, celebrities, famous people in general made sure to express their emotions in hopes that at least the masses will not form the opinion same as the Prime minister.

Everyone said that it is an individual’s capability, having control. yes, they may have feelings for the other gender, but they do have the ability of control; it is not like they are born without it.

Soul Sisters’ Admin Kanwal Ahmed also documented her statement about the PM’s statement.

Obi aka Osman Khalid Butt explained it well. He said attraction, desire, temptation is normal because yes, men are not robots. However, rape is not about emotions, it is about power, dominance, and lack ofempathy.

What are your views about it? Let us know in the comments.

Everything You Need To Know About Hyundai Sonata

Hyundai has been making quite an impact on the automobile market. They are on their way to becoming one of the highest brands in Pakistan. Additionally, their vehicle releases are quite impressive and capable. Now, the new Hyundai Sonata details have been revealed. It is one of the most anticipated cars of the year.

Hyundai has made it a point to make impressive entries. When we weren’t expecting it, they released the Tucson. It is an SUV that holds quite a lot of weight in the automobile industry. The vehicle itself has a powerful engine as well as enough sitting space to fit the whole family.

sonata and price and specs revealed

Sonata And Its Specs

Now, this vehicle may be underrated in the region. It is certainly one that deserves recognition in Pakistan. When it finally does hit the road, we expect it to attract a huge crowd. The Sonata is expected to have two variants in Pakistan. While the exact details are not here, we do have an overview of them. The first one is said to be a 2.0 Litre petrol engine variant. The second is expected to be an engine with a 2.5-litre capacity. Both of them have automatic transmissions.

The former has a 6-speed automatic transmission while the latter is 8-speed automatic. This vehicle is sure to give hard competition to vehicles like Audi A4, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord etc. Sonata is an executive-styled vehicle and it even gives off 007 vibes. The grille at the front might just remind one of the Aston Martin DB9.

Additional Sonata Info

Many features are expected to be in the Sonata that is released in Pakistan. These start from airbags, push start, front and rear parking sensors, ABS, and EBD. The features don’t end here! The car even has cruise control, lane keep assist, hill start assist, and dual-LED projection headlights. All of this, combined, make for quite a monster of a car.

We are aware that people may start to rush showrooms in hopes of getting this vehicle. Hyundai is certainly going a huge distance with the Sonata. It has also been reported that the vehicle will be locally assembled in Pakistan. This means that the price of it is expected to be lower than an import one. However, we can expect it to be slightly high because of the executive class. The vehicle belongs right up there with other premium ones.

Coming Soon

Sonata is considered a mid-size sedan and it has immense potential. Vehicles like Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are quite expensive to buy. They also carry a ‘Luxury tax’ on them. However, the Sonata price is expected to be between Rs.7 million to Rs.9 million. This doesn’t mean that the price is solid, it can still vary beyond this range. However, you should be prepared to face this kind of bargain.

Let us hope the Sonata does well once it hits the market. We want to see more and more types of cars in Pakistan and this is a good step.

Is Karsaz Churail Now Entering People’s Homes?

Karsaz Churail is the infamous churail of Karachi. It haunted people’s minds for the longest time possible. Even now, if the topic comes up, either people want to reminisce the original story or hear other people’s accounts of it.

In recent events, we also heard that the churail may just have shifted to Malir Cantt.

Image Source: Youtube

Karsaz Churail or something else?

But all jokes aside, Karsaz Churail would make people tremble if they had to go from Karsaz road at night in the past. Now, she is taken more in the context of a joke or to refer to any unnatural and mysterious appearance.

Anyway, in our search for mysterious events, we decided to approach people and hear the events that were pure horror. One of our source, reveals such an event although she herself is unsure what happened with her.

Let’s see what happened:

The lady shares that she was sleeping in her room with her lights on as she gets scared. The rest of the house is always drowned in darkness the entire night.

At one point, she feels that there is someone in the room so she woke up and she saw someone hovering over her. For some reason, she thought it was her mother reciting tasbih because she was not saying anything. The person indicated for her to follow. Our source thought that the mother was telling her to offer prayers so she immediately got up to follow.

The person exited the room and into the corridor; darkness enveloping her.

The moment our source reached the corridor, she stopped because even with her sleepy head she was alerted. The house was still in darkness. And she knew that the first thing her mom does at fajr time is switching on every light in the corridor and the living room.

Rooted at the doorway, she feebly called out, ‘Ammi?’

Where did you think the answer came from?

She was expecting an answer from the end of the corridor where she had seen the person disappearing. To her horror, she heard her mom yawning and waking up from the room on her right.

For some reason, still from her doorway, she asks, ‘Ammi, fajr parh li?’ (Have you offered fajr?)

The response she got was, ‘3 baje konsi namaz hoti hai?’ (What prayers is at 3am?)

She just turned around and went inside her room while reciting all the surahs she knew. But all she could think about was, who did she just saw? Where was the entity taking her? And what would have happened had she followed it into the darkness?

So what do you think? Was it the karsaz churail, now in people’s houses?

5 Apple Gadgets You Shouldn’t Buy At The Moment

apple gadgets shouldn't buy

Apple may be the powerhouse of technology but not all of its gadgets should be bought. Some may be too pricey for what they offer while others are simply not that impeccable now.

These are all the Apple gadgets that you should not be buying.

1. iMac

You should avoid buying iMac because even its latest version is now a year old. There are far more cutting edge technologies out there that can be bought now instead.

Apple’s efforts of promoting the Mac through “Behind the Mac” ads can only convince us to a certain extent. However, we can not believe the unbelievable which is that Macs have a longer lifespan than a PC. This gadget, like many of Apple’s Mac editions, is in desperate need of a refresh.

2. iMac PRO

What you must know about the iMac Pro is that it was once a powerhouse. It is still powerful, useful and shiny and posh. However, it’s hard to justify a price tag starting at $5,000 for something as outdated as this!.

Even Apple at Silicon Valley knows there’s a timeline for each product. This one has outlived its own. 

3. APPLE TV FIFTH-GEN

This gadget is also a hard pass. Apple’s 5th-generation Apple TV is built around the A10X Fusion processor which is its attraction. It also comes with a choice of 32GB or 64GB of storage and was last updated over a year ago.

Again, a great product, however, the starting price tag of $179 is unreasonable. This was first released in October 2015.

4. IPAD MINI

The iPad is currently living its forgotten glory. Its demand hasn’t been updated or been supportive for two years now. People are rarely looking for a small iPad. The iPad Mini gadget is only a good choice if you want a small tablet with Apple Pencil support.

5. IPOD TOUCH

This is the last of the iPods! The iPod touch is also coming to the two-year-old mark and while that is not very old, it is not worth investing in. The function of the iPod can be performed by any other Apple product you can get today. This gadget has an A10 Fusion chip, 4-inch display, with a maximum capacity of 256GB. However, it demands a $199 to $399 price tag mainly to maintain the legacy of the product.

With all this information in mind, what is the next Apple gadget you are going to buy?

Since it is a medical condition, it is not caused by heartbreak. However, extreme anxiety and physical stress can trigger the condition. There are several behind the actual cause of this condition. It is thought that external stressors can cause your body to release stress hormones. These stress hormones lead to heart and vessels spasms. This can ultimately cause the left ventricle to temporarily weakens and results in a lack of blood to heart muscles.

2. Symptoms 

If you are under a lot of stress and all of a sudden you start to feel breathlessness and pain in the chest, you might want to consult a doctor right away. It is speculated that the symptoms of this condition are similar to having a heart attack. However, the medical tests will further confirm the diagnosis.

3. Who Is More Prone To it

Women, particularly post-menopausal women, are thought to be at increased risk of having an episode. People who are above 50 are also at higher risk in general.

4. Triggers 

The triggers range from a wide variety of events, including both the good and bad ones. Suppose you are an extremely emotional person, then look out for any triggers and make a conscious effort to minimize them. These triggers can include, death of a loved one or a friend.

  • A medical diagnosis that might take a toll on your mental health.
  • Losing, or even winning, a lot of money suddenly.
  • Being physically or verbally abused.
  • However, something as small as going on the stage can also act as a triggering factor.

5. How Is It Different From Heart Attack 

Heart attack results from blockage of the blood vessels, which can be diagnosed on medical testing. However, there are no blockages of vessels in BHS. The heart loses its ability to pump the blood like it usually does, so the symptoms mimic a heart attack.

6. How To Take Care After The Attack

After having a cardiac event or a diagnosis, it becomes terrifying for the patient to go on without stress about the situation. But looking after these factors can help you lead a life in a stress-free and healthy manner,

  • Know your diagnosis and treatment plan and abide by it
  • Cope with your feelings and make sure to reduce the amount of stress
  • Quit any habits which can trigger and make sure to lead a healthy lifestyle
  • Specific therapies and tools can help you cope with the condition. Consult your general physician regarding these.

This Pakistani Businesswoman Made It To Forbes’ Next 1000 List

A Pakistani businesswoman has made her mark on Forbes’ 1000 list and we couldn’t be more elated!

What is the Forbes’ 1000 list?

Forbes is known for their remarkable lists that scour prominent, trailblazing and accomplished individuals around the world. This particular list is special because it is based upon the public’s nominations. It is decided upon by the top business minds and entrepreneurial superstars from across the globe. 

These new faces, nominated and shortlisted, will number 1,000 by the end of the year. Every year, Forbes’ lists continue to recognise people with potential and their achievements. Scoring a spot on these lists is huge because it connects you with the most exclusive names in the entrepreneurial world.

This Year’s Pakistani Nomination

This year Fobes’ focus was on the pandemic-inflicted change on the market. Forbes set out to highlight the small startups with under $10 million in revenue or funding. However, to be noticed, one must showcase a drive and enthusiasm that is distinct.

In all of this, a Pakistani entrepreneur by the name Mariam Nusrat got noticed. Mariam Nusrat’s startup is in its initial stages however, its impact is anything but small. The founder and the venture are both making waves at an international level. 

What Does Mariam Nusrat Lead?

Mariam Nusrat is the sole founder of GRID (Gaming Revolution for International Development). She is a current resident of Virginia, United States and holds a master’s degree in Economics from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). Her journey is making waves internationally as she has also been covered by George Washington University in the United States.

Her startup has been leading an interdisciplinary team of Pakistan-based game developers and designers for the last six years. GRID basically aims to solve major world problems by creating games that stimulate positive behavioural changes. So far, the team has created eight portfolio games that can be played in five different languages. These games have audiences in 18 different counties with about 15 thousand downloads.

What Is The Philosophy?

Mariam, the founder, believes that behavioural change can be controlled. It “cannot be born, contextual realities cannot be ignored, and innovation cannot wait [until] tomorrow.”

As a result, GRID also kills two birds with one stone. They also cover 60% of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The games cover a variety of topics, including reproductive health, climate change, health pandemics, animal welfare, STEM learning, and structural racism.

Besides this, Mariam is also working on another initiative called Breshna. It is expected to be launched on July 16. This project will allow people to create games without writing a single line of code.

Here’s Why Pakistanis Want To Ban The Web Series ‘Dhoop Ki Deewar’

The upcoming web series, Dhoop Ki Deewar, featuring the star couple Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly were trending for a while after the trailer was launched. At first, people were liking the acting by the stars but then when they focused on the storyline, Twitter erupted with backlash.

Indo-Pak Conflict on Dhoop Ki Deewar 

Mostly, the idea about the ban was a direct result of the ever-deteriorating Indo-Pak relations. But for some people, it was also about Kashmir. They said that the atrocities by India in Kashmir are continuing; we are not holding them accountable, instead, we are telling a story that is highlighting India as a victim.

Twitter Trends with #BanDhoopKiDeewar

Social media was loaded with the hashtag BanDhoopKiDeewar. Netizens could not digest the trailer of the web series because they felt that it would deem their patriotism invalid. Hence, be it the actors, writers, or directors, everyone was openly being shamed.Of course, one can say that this was just the trailer and that the show features kids of both Indian and Pakistan army mourning for their fathers. But the fact, that it shows the Pakistani girl more fierce, and the Indian boy more traumatized gives the vibe that India is suffering more.

 

 

We haven’t yet seen the web series so we do not know what the story is. Since the Zee5 channel is an India property, maybe just maybe the story is Pro India. But the problem is that seventy four years, there has always been hatred between the two nations.

Soldiers suffer the most

Whenever there is a conflict on state level, there is a direct effect on the borders. Whether we suffer or not, the soldiers from both sides suffer losses. And the families of the soldiers have to go through even worse; having to lose their loved ones. It is a story about that. It is a story about losses on both sides. Because the truth is; the conflict between India and Pakistan, does take lives of soldiers more than anyone else.

If we start preaching love instead of hatred, maybe we won’t lose as many soldiers as we do fighting on the Indo-Pak border or fighting for Kashmir. But does standing for love makes it alright to compromise on your patriotism? This question requires some brainstorming.

While you brainstorm, drop comments on whether you will be watching the series airing June 25?

Child Molester Madrasa Cleric Confesses To Allegations

[Update]: Arrested yesterday, the madrasa cleric has finally confessed to sexually assaulting the teenage student. He agreed to the charges and tells the police that the video statement he issued was because he did not want to be kicked out from the madrasa.

The mufti and his sons were arrested by tracking their mobile phones.

[June 20, 2021]:

Child Molester Madrasa Cleric Arrested After Social Media Uproar

Madrasa cleric who was exposed when the victim secretly shot the video of harassment, was finally arrested. Mufti Azizur Rehman was arrested from Mianwali where he had ran off when the police was out to capture him. Today, he was arrested in a raid. The raid was led by Lahore Model Town CIA Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Hasnain Haider.

They are now bringing him back to Lahore where he will be prosecuted. IGP Punjab said in a tweet that they aim to make the society safer for the children from the child molesters.

Let’s see how the court rules the case.

[June 17, 2021]:

Madrasa, literally, a place of teaching (in general), is now only used to refer to a place of religious teaching. Yet, in such a place, we come across numerous incidents relating to molestations, rapes, and whatnot. Unfortunately, there is no accountability when it comes to madrasa cleric(s).

Madrasa witnesses molestation incident

In the recent incident, a student leaked the video exposing Mufti Azizur Rehman. The accused is a seventy-year-old religious cleric and he is also the Vice Ameer of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam. He was sexually assaulting a teenage boy, enrolled in the madrasa. The video became viral two days ago.

Alongside that leaked video, the victim shared a message claiming that he is hiding because the molester’s sons have threatened to kill him. The video shows the survivor to be in utter distress.

But of course, while even just the unproven allegation of blasphemy can lead to kill fatwas, the documented molester only received a termination letter. The madrasa he worked at issued a letter saying that he has been fired effective 3rd June 2021. They came to this decision after the committee met and seeing the leaked video. At the end of the letter, they ordered him to immediately leave the premises.

He has also been suspended from his political responsibilities.

Mufti Azizur Rehman shares his story

As the whole scene plays out, Mufti Azizur Rehman decided to share his point as well. He, in fact, categorically denied his role in the video. Hoping to paint himself as pious, he said that this was a conspiracy against him. His argument was that he wasn’t even moving that much. Hence, clearly, he was drugged by the “character-less” boy.

Plus, he went on to say that it has been two weeks but my accuser is in hiding. Trying to use it to his advantage, he said that it is never the wronged who runs.

Well, hello mister, if the boy did not run, your son would have killed him for exposing you!

According to Punjab Police, they cannot carry out any investigation unless a report is filed. First and foremost, why is it that we are forcing out a threatened person to come and file a report? Also, why are we not making the world safe that the victim approach the authorities without fearing for their lives? It is high time authorities started looking at each issue independently. Why? because, at most times, there are external factors that make it difficult for the issue to be handled in the usual way.

Hajra Yamin, the leading actress of Pinky Memsaab, has recently instigated a controversy. The cause? A little black dress!

The Latest Shoot

For reasons not known to us yet, Hajra Yamin got a black and white shoot done of herself. In that, the star is wearing a mid-length black dress, slightly above her knees. The dress is also not overly scandalous or shocking- it’s just a normal black dress! 

The actress is also in minimal makeup with glossy lips that only adds to the fuss-free feel of the shoot. What we love the most is her flaunting her natural hair! She’s got a beautiful mane of thick, healthy and wavy hair and she knows how to use them as an accessory.

The Photos

Here are the three photos uploaded so far as part of this shoot. The three photos are uniformly black and white and in the same dress. However, another similarity they all share is that all have comments disabled.

Netizens Come Through

Funnily enough, a little while after she posted a picture, one person commented this and it couldn’t be more true. Within seconds, a barrage of comments ranging from praying for her to get guidance to shaming her for living in Pakistan came through.

The comments are never-ending, harsh and simply unnecessary however, they are sandwiched between good ones too. Taking the bad with the good, Hajra Yamin?

Here are some of the comments levied towards her:

Selective Rage

For people to treat a black dress as the ultimate hallmark of sin and evil is surprising. As a country that is going through one of the worst sexual violence rates, people are directing their rage to women and their clothing. It’s surprising how social media rage from netizens was controlled in the recent event of a religious cleric sexually assaulting his student.

Are clothes more deadly than assaults? It appears many netizens would answer yes to that.

About Hajra Yamin

Hajra Yamin is a notable Pakistani actress who has made her mark in several Urdu television serials. She made her film debut with a remarkable supporting role in Maan Jao Na and later bagged a leading role in none other than Pinky Memsaab. Pinky Memsaab also launched her career because her role earned her a nomination for Best Actress at Lux Style Award for the first time!

Biryani Restaurant Owner Booked For Beating Customer In Karachi

We love eating food, and we love dining out but ever since COVID lockdown was imposed only very limited options were available. Now that we are witnessing some relaxation in dining out, any place that is open and affordable is the highlight of everyone’s life. The biryani restaurant in Liaquatabad, Karachi, was one such place.

Liaquatabad Biryani Restaurant

However, the staff at the restaurant beat up the customer when he went to the counter to ask for his money back. Apparently, the customer had been waiting for a long time and he just did not want to continue much further. Probably exhausted by the number of customers or the fact that a canceled order would reflect in the staff’s salary, the worker beat the customer up.

Later when the divisional officer visited the scene, there was no trace of any weapon or stolen items being implicated on the injured citizens.

The event happened on Friday but it took the police some time to take notice of it. In fact, it was after the CCTV footage went public. After that, the police booked the restaurant owner. This goes to indicate that the staff did this on the indication of the owner. The owner has run away and is in hiding so the police were not able to take him into custody.

Another violent incident in Karachi

There is yet another horrible incident in Karachi. Apparently, the police opened fire and injured two citizens. An internal inquiry by the police led to the arrest of four personnel. These policemen, according to the department, opened fire on alleged burglars when they did not stop when being asked to.

It seems that the unpredictable weather is getting to the Karachiites. The uncertainty of the Karachi rains is keeping everyone agitated. Hopefully, everything will work out once it rains and the consequences are not as dire as last year.

Time out with Ahsan Khan is going on in full swing, but it still manages to raise some questions now and then. Most of the time, it is associated with the guests who give their remarks to share their lives and perspectives about certain things.

Latest Guest On Time Out 

The latest guest on the show was none other than the two industry siblings who shared the couch; Humaima Malik & Feroze Khan.

Humaima’s Performance Act

While Feroze managed to gain the viewers’ attention with his remarks on the second marriage, Humaima caught some weird eyes on her dance in the show.

In a segment where they both had to answer some questions and give a small performance on a song, Humaima danced. Her dance caught the eyes of the netizens who are now taking to social media to leave some negative remarks. Here is a clip from the show.

Netizen’s Respond

The moral brigade took to social media to give some remarks on the situation. While some made fun of the song being played, others made sure to attack the celebrities with their opinions.

At the same time, some judged the decision of Feroze Khan about leaving the industry and embarking on the journey of Deen.

While it was all in fun and no harm, our public really does not know when to let go. Celebrities are entitled to their opinion and actions just like anyone else. However, in our society, we tend to think of them as public property. This behavior leads to us micro-managing our celebrities and, in turn, get offended if they do not follow.
