PTV To Broadcast New Episodes Of Diriliş: Ertuğrul During Ramadan

Diriliş: Ertuğrul took over Pakistan by a storm ever since PM Imran Khan recommended it to the public, and it started airing on PTV. Dubbed in Urdu, it became easily consumable for the masses, and for historical and religious similarities, people became attached to the series.

Pakistani fandom of Diriliş: Ertuğrul

This attachment was so strong that the actress playing the female protagonist Esra Bilgic aka Halima, was hired by many Pakistani brands to be their ambassador. While this was good news for the fans of not only Diriliş: Ertuğrul but the Pakistanis who are Turkish drama fans, another great news awaits them.

Faisal Javed said:

“Pakistan Television to telecast new episodes of Ertugral daily at 7:45 PM throughout Ramazan. Ertugral series is a great exhibition of culture & Islamic faith – an amazing journey through phenomenal Turkish history.”

— Faisal Javed Khan (@FaisalJavedKhan) April 10, 2021

Senator Faisal Javed took to Twitter announcing that Ertugrul fans can follow the drama throughout Ramadan. It will be all-new episodes, and they will air on none other than Pakistan Television Network (PTV).

More good news

Getting to watch this show is certainly a positive change from having to watch evil in-law stories. That said, not all Pakistani content is about that, and this is clear from the fact that Turkey also loves Pakistani content. In fact, one of the Pakistani productions will be dubbed in the Turkish language soon and aired on their channels.

Another great news coming soon as a Pakistani production will be dubbed in Turkish and aired in Turkey as part of bilateral exchange of knowledge, ideas, talent & content between Pakistani & Turkish entertainment industries.

— Faisal Javed Khan (@FaisalJavedKhan) April 10, 2021

After Diriliş: Ertuğrul, Pakistan will also be dubbing its sequel, Kuruluş: Osman and that too will be aired locally.

The journey for Turkish television that began a few years back with Asi and Ishq e Mamnoon has led to the craze for Ertugrul. And hopefully, with more Turkish content coming in, Pakistan’s own content will evolve as well.

As a result, people who are sick and tired of cliched Pakistani content might also return to watching Pakistani productions.

5 Scary Facts That Will Give You Nightmares For Life

5 Scary Facts That Will Give You Nightmares For Life — image source: https://sunshinehouse.com/

Life can be full of weird and creepy experiences. Sometimes you get used to it, but sometimes it can give you nightmares for life. Here are some scary facts which can give absolute nightmares.

1. Dentures from the deceased

Dentures made in the laboratories for the elderly who have lost their teeth have a creepy ancient history. Back in the 1800s, people needed dentures for certain cases. At that time, there was no access to the technology or the equipment. Instead, dentures at the time were made out of the teeth of deceased people, which were stolen on battlefields or from the graveyards. The teeth were procured from the soldiers or executed criminals.

2. Lock-In Syndrome

Have you been in a state where you feel like you are wide awake but can not respond? Your body feels paralyzed, and you can not even move. The chances are you have experienced a lock-in syndrome. In lock-in syndrome, the cognitive ability is intact. However, a person can not speak or move. There is no coordination between breathing and speaking; hence, voluntary sounds can not be produced. This sounds like an absolute nightmare coming from someone who has experienced it.

3. The Mysteries of The Human Head

Most of the time, we see in horror movies or shows the head being decapitated. Sometimes we are grossed out, but the other times, we do not even flinch, but here is a creepy fact that will definitely stay in your mind the next time you are watching a human head being decapitated. The head tends to stay alive or remain conscious for 20 seconds after being cut off from the body. This is due to enough oxygen supply left in the brain as the brain is the driving force behind body functions.

4. Survival of the fittest

The curiosity of the human mind has no boundaries. This curiosity has led us to space and beyond. Difficult situations come with difficult survival tactics. Did you know that the astronauts have to drink their own sweat and urine due to the lack of water in space? And no, we are not joking about that! Astronauts like Scott Kelly had to survive on their own body fluids in space.

5. Shhhhhh……

Did you know that when a person dies, the sense of hearing is the last one to go? Neither did we! So next time, make sure not to say some weird stuff when sitting beside the body. Spending this time is scientifically proven to be effective because even if the dead body can not see or feel, it can still hear a lot of things you have to say.

So, if you are getting creeps after reading this and the next time you have nightmares, think about all the beautiful things this world has to offer.

Zara Dar recently rose to fame after topping the ACCA exams globally. This was no small feat and since then Zara Dar has acted as the ultimate source of inspiration when it comes to excelling in studies. Learn from the best on how to get those grades:

Sharing Her Wisdom

Dar enjoys a large following on her Instagram and she’s giving back to her community. In a post with a lengthy, in-depth caption, she shared her tips on how to ace studies.

As CIE season and the final season approaches, this is the best guide you can have to get working.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Zara Naeem Dar 🇵🇰 (@zaraa.dar)

What Does She Recommend?

For her, it all starts with being organised. Unless and until you are organised and have a clear view of your objectives, you simply can not achieve them. So the first thing on your journey to the best grades has to be to write your objectives down.

Small Goals, Baby Steps

The next step she recommends is to adopt a laser-like focus on those objectives. Know how to achieve them and when to and stick to those goals. She also recommends, like many motivational speakers, setting small goals.

Putting a broad, generally large goal can be counter-productive. Instead of focusing on finishing that book chapter or writing a rough draft of that essay.

Collect, Acknowledge and Dump!

This collect, acknowledge and dump approach is recommended by her for your negative thoughts. Our thoughts are often the main thing holding us back. Next time your thoughts tell you you’re not good enough, you know what to do.

Collect the thoughts, acknowledge that they will not mean anything. And then proceed to dump them to freshen your mind for the onset of new information.

Faith

Lastly, she recommends having faith in God and yourself. If you begin your journey with the mindset that you are not capable of achieving big things, chances are you actually won’t.

Believe in yourself and the Higher plan laid out for you. Trust the process!

Growing By Helping Others

A post shared by Zara Naeem Dar 🇵🇰 (@zaraa.dar)

We need more role models like Zara Dar who not only set an example themself but also help others in doing the same. In addition to sharing this comprehensive and motivational caption, she also caters to others’ requests.

When someone asked her for further help on how to study, Zara Dar had the most helpful response.

Car Sales In Pakistan Increase Due To Cheap Financing

By

Maria Shafiq

Apr 12, 2021

There was a 35% spike in the sales of commercial vehicles, jeeps, and vans manufactured locally during the first 9 months of the fiscal year 2015-16 (9MFY16). The reasons behind the increase in sales is two folds; the ownership of cars generally has become more affordable given the lowered interest rate of 42-year.

Other than that, the reason cited is the relative stabilization in the economy that has raised the demand along with the taxi scheme introduced by the government of Punjab.

Muhammad Tahir Saeed from Topline Securities commented that the sale of the local vehicles was 166,898 as opposed to the 123,638 units last year in the same time span during the first 9 months.

Pak Suzuki Motor Company went to 100,663 units taking them up to 51% year-on-year (YoY) in sales. However, the volume experienced a downward spike of 30% YoY and went up on month-on-month basis to almost 8% given the sale of 9,055 units.

Indus Motors’ YoY sales remained almost constant with 5,781 units but the sales increased almost 10% on MoM basis. In the same time span of 9MFY16, 47,504 units were sold as compared to the 40,141 last year (9MFY15). Depending on the variant the delivery of the new Corolla model may take two to four months as per Saeed.

With 16% YoY and 27% MoM increase in sales as per March 2016’s numbers, Honda Atlas Cars sold 18,542 units during the 9MFY16 opposed to 16,405 units in the same time duration last year.

“We believe that Honda City remained the major contributor to this growth,” said Saeed. “However, volumes of Honda Civic are expected to further dry out in coming months in anticipation of a new model launch.”

On the other hand, however, the tractor sales dipped to a 33% YoY low in sales with it only being able to sell 22,169 units.

Ramsha Khan & Alizeh Shah Each Other’s Spouse? Google Goes Crazy!

Google had a technical malfunction which is driving social media crazy! Who’s whose spouse? You will be shocked.

Confused Between Colleagues and Lovers

Google names Alizeh Shah as Ramsha Khan’s spouse in its latest blunders. This latest mistake of naming the rising celebrity Alizeh Shah as Ramsha Khan, a beloved Pakistani actress’, spouse is making people go bonkers.

Google Knows Best or Worse

Another recent mistake of Google which spread like wildfire across Pakistan was relating to our favourite actress currently. The Ertugrul heroine, Esra Bilgic, was given a maternal role by Google and it was the most hilarious mistake.

Google named Esra Bilgic as Yasir Hussain’s – possibly her most vocal critic – mother. This had many Pakistanis chuckling and surprised. We bet Esra Bilgic doesn’t know she has a son and a daughter-in-law!

Similarly, only God knows what information Google was attempting to feed into its system when it named two colleagues as spouses.

Alizeh Shah: A Rising Star

It hasn’t been long since Alizeh Shah stepped into the Pakistani entertainment industry. However, her fan following and fame would have you believe otherwise. In a very short period of time, she has won many hearts.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Alizeh Shah (@alizehshahofficial)

The credit goes to not only her acting skills but also her general interest in fashion and beauty which keeps people hooked. Her Instagram gives you a glimpse into her personal life and we can confidently say she is an all-rounder!

Her performances in Ehd-e-Wafa and Mera Dil Mera Dushman are particular favourites amongst many.

Ramsha Khan

Ramsha Khan’s rising status sky-rocketed after her performance in ‘Kaisa Hai Naseeban’. This stunner is also a newbie in the entertainment industry but a lot like Alizeh Shah! She came to make her name and she was determined.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Ramsha Khan (@ramshakhanofficial)

Within her first year Ramsha Khan was seen across several projects. Be it commercial advertisements, fashion shoots or cameos, the girl did it all. Here’s wishing her even more successful because we are sure she is a role model for many young girls.

Monday Morning Inspiration?

Though this confusion on Google’s part is a trivial mistake that we will forget in the next minute, can we look at it more philosophically? As we begin our Mondays, let this serve as an example that even bots can make a mistake.

So during this week, if you make a mistake, simply remember this and move on!

Dubai To Build World’s Tallest Building After Burj Khalifa

By

Apr 12, 2021

Dubai plans to build a tower that will stand higher than its Burj Khalifa, currently the world’s tallest skyscraper, property developer Emaar said Sunday.

The viewing tower will cost around $1 billion (880 million euros) and will be “a notch” taller than Burj Khalifa, Emaar chairman Mohamed Alabbar told reporters as he revealed details of the project.

But he said that the final height will be announced upon completion, adding that his company would like to present the tower as a “gift to the city before 2020,” the year Dubai hosts the world Expo trading fair.

Designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava Valls, the tower will have observation decks, in addition to 18 to 20 mixed-use floors that will host restaurants and a boutique hotel, Alabbar said.

Burj Khalifa is 828 metres (2,700 feet) high and it cost $1.5 billion to build. It was opened in January 2010.

Alabbar described the new structure as an “elegant monument” which would add value to the property being developed by the company along the city’s creek.

“Many would like to have a view” when considering buying a property, he said.

The tower will be slender, evoking the image of a minaret, and will be anchored to the ground with sturdy cables, Emaar said.

Dubai has established a reputation for building dozens of futuristic skyscrapers, which have transformed its skyline.

Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Holding is building a tower in Jeddah that is planned to surpass Burj Khalifa, rising more than a kilometre.

Saboor Aly Under Fire For Posing With Saadia Ghaffar’ Baby Bump

Apr 12, 2021

Saboor Aly recently took to Instagram that she is tremendously excited about becoming a khala. Because of this, you may expect that it is Sajal who is pregnant, but no. It is Sadia Ghaffar, a Pakistani actress, and model, who got married to Hasan Hayat last year. They will soon be welcoming a new family member.

Sadia Gaffar is expecting!

Unlike the brown routine where women have to hide their pregnancy, wear shawls to cover themselves, and use the phrases such as, ‘they are not feeling well,’ Sadia Ghaffar was seen flaunting her baby bump in her Instagram stories.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Saboor Aly (@sabooraly)

To a small get-together, where some other close friends were invited, guests could see Saboor Aly as well. So we checked out Saboor’s Instagram as well. There, in the posts and stories, we could see Saboor extremely happy for the upcoming addition to Sadia’s family.

We could see Saboor in a one-shoulder top with a beautiful necklace. While she also posed solo, there was a picture where she is very close to the baby bump, and she is seen pouting at it.

Netizens React to Saboor Aly

While people showered blessings for the baby in the comments, there were, as expected, some very mean comments as well. The mean comments had problems with the fact that the pictures showed the bump because they considered it foreign to the culture. Moreover, they even brought religion into conversation labeling these actions un-Islamic.

While it is understandable that everyone has the right to free speech, shouldn’t one be careful of saying things that can do extreme damage? Not to forget that Instagram is a platform where the young generation is present in an abundant number, and these comments can leave a devastating impression on the youth.

Samsung & LG To Make Screens For iPhone 13 Series

By

Apr 12, 2021

[Update]: Many rumors for iPhones circulate whenever they have an upcoming product launch. Just like that, with iPhone 13 there have been many rumors and facts that you will hear. One of them is that Samsung and LG will be making the screens for iPhone 13.

Samsung to join the production

This product is being said to make use of LTPO OLED displays. What this will allow is an adaptive refresh rate. It is also being reported that both the companies, Samsung and LG, are shifting to LTPO where iPhone related production lines are concerned. So with these updates to their manufacturing plants, Samsung might be ready to begin supplying from this year while LG will become part of it from the next.

It should be noted, however, that this display technology (LTPO) might only be restricted to iPhone 13 Pro duo.

[April 8th, 2021]: Samsung Electronics reported their financial results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year 2020 and it’s making headlines.

The Company’s Statistics

Samsung posted their earning of KRW 61.55 trillion in consolidated revenue and KRW 9.05 trillion in operating profit in the quarter ended December 31, 2020. For the entire year, the mega-company reported KRW 236.81 trillion in revenue and KRW 35.99 trillion in operating profit.

This is an insanely good report for a tech company provided that the backdrop was one of a pandemic.

How Did The Pandemic Affect Sales?

The challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic are still continuing and impacted tech companies hard. However, a company-wide effort to ensure a stable supply of products and services helped Samsung’s fourth-quarter results. Consumer sentiment, which was seriously hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic, began to surge at the end of last year and onto the first quarter.

In a statement released by Samsung, the company wrote: “Samsung Electronics was able to respond aggressively through flexible global supply chain management. This was actually their highest-ever quarterly revenue.

Profit Details

According to Samsung Electronics’ earnings guidance for quarter 1 which was announced on Wednesday, the tech giant posted consolidated sales of 65 trillion won. Their consolidated operating profit of 9.3 trillion won in the first quarter, up 17.5% and 44.2%, respectively from the same period of last year.

Even compared to the fourth quarter of last year, which was positive, sales increased by 5.6%. This is significant for a primary reason. This is the first time that Samsung Electronics’ Q1 sales increased from last year’s 4Q since 2011.

What Explains It?

It’s worth noting that the cause of Samsung’s soaring profits can be because of the circumstances offered. While Samsung launched several flagship phones in the previous quarter like the Galaxy Note 20 line, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, its competitors could not. For instance, Apple’s annual iPhone launch suffered a rare slip in October.

This meant that Samsung was able to launch its new innovations in the markets without having to fight the competition.

Samsung: Future Goals

For 2021, Samsung expects a recovery in overall global demand. However, accounting for uncertainties due to the recurring COVID-19 waves is crucial.

Additionally, Samsung was warned of lower profits in the coming quarter. This is because of the expected slump in memory demand and higher saturation in the smartphone market.

PTCL’s Mantra To ‘Stay Home – Go Digital’

Apr 12, 2021

The third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has hit Pakistan and its spreading much faster due to its mutation and the new variant involved. As the number of cases rise, the government has stepped in to tighten the lockdown for the safety of the people. Pakistanis, however, are also adapting to this pandemic at an overwhelming pace. The corporate sector in particular is enabling the citizens throughout the country to keep themselves safe with companies like PTCL making the nationwide call to ‘Stay Home – Go Digital’, especially for ease and convenience of customers such as Quick Bill Payment Options.

Being a national company, PTCL’s efforts in keeping the nation connected are commendable and not to be missed. As the pandemic began, no one was ready to anticipate or even imagine what was about to unfold. It was at that time; the frontline workers of the national telco proved to be heroes as they kept the country running through seamless connectivity in all corners of Pakistan. PTCL enabled businesses to continue their operations through ‘Work from Home’ policies, students were able to continue their education virtually and families enjoyed their time together during lockdowns by streaming movies, games, being connected with their loved ones and much more.

PTCL has developed its digital front to cater to the evolving needs of its customers, simply through their websites and mobile applications. The customers can simply visit websites and order products, change their existing packages, ask for support for any matter and even pay their bills online through PTCL website or mobile app (available on Android & Apple). It has also designed and developed a separate website for its FTTH customers with a brand PTCL Flash Fiber. It’s a great service by PTCL, as they empowered the customers to use their services keeping in mind their safety and ease of doing transactions online. Imagine, not going out for groceries, bill payments, or other similar activities that could unnecessarily expose you to virus.

The corporate sector of Pakistan has always been at the forefront when it comes to the well-being of the people of its country. PTCL remains among the top organizations that have always kept the well-being of its customers as its top priority. The company alone has innovated and delivered digital solutions that are designed to keep their customers fully functional and accessible during the COVID-19 enforced lockdowns. PTCL’s customers are not restricted to individuals only as they serve businesses and government bodies as well, which means that PTCL is serving the entire nation in one way or another. With customer-centricity in mind and many uncertainties revolving around the global pandemic, we should certainly go with PTCL’s mantra for its customers to stay home and go digital collectively as a nation as it’s the need of the hour as we need to minimize the risk of further spread of the pandemic.

Coca-Cola has made the headlines once again with its One Brand Strategy. Coca-Cola updates Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola diet designs to align them with Coca-Cola’s zero sugar design packaging. The One Brand Strategy was originally launched in 2016, which was a move designed to encourage customers to try other variants. The company states that “the strategy has become integral to our approach to marketing across the Coca-Cola trademark.

image source: https://www.marketingweek.com/

The redesign is consistent throughout the global market and is set to launch in 2021. A spokesperson from Coca-Cola stated that;

“In unifying and simplifying the design system across all three variants. We can extend the iconicity of our logo and brand to our no-sugar drinks and more so encouraging consumers to try Coca-Cola Zero Sugar or Diet Coke.”

The Product Of The One Brand Strategy

The design is now a simple one, however, features the brand’s classic red across all varieties, with each logo now present on the label’s top.

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Leads The Marketing Strategy

Coca-Cola recently changed its recipe of Coca-Cola zero sugar. So that they can match its taste with the original version is the first one to lead the design update. After the new Coca-Cola zero sugar packaging, the same packaging design will be introduced in other flavors.

image source: https://www.marketingweek.com/

“We have continued to innovate to develop this recipe further and are excited to bring the latest recipe to market. However, we believe it will be popular with the existing Coca-Cola Zero Sugar fanbase, as well as with Coca-Cola Original Taste drinkers who are seeking a no-sugar option.”

Lahore, 8 January 2021: Karachi Kings will begin from where they finished their successful HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 campaign by taking on 2019 champions Quetta Gladiators in the opening fixture of the 2021 edition at the National Stadium on 20 February.

On the following day, 2020 finalists Lahore Qalandars will take on 2017 winners Peshawar Zalmi in a day fixture, while two-time winners Islamabad United will square off against Multan Sultans in the evening.

The 30-day 34-match tournament will culminate with the final at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 22 March, marking the first time the venue will stage the final since 2017.

To safeguard the integrity of the HBL PSL 2021 and to ensure health and safety of all participants in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the PCB has decided to hold the matches in Karachi and Lahore only. The National Stadium will stage the first half of the competition, while the Pakistan cricket headquarters at the Gaddafi Stadium will be the venue of the second half of the competition, including the playoffs.

With regards to crowd attendances, since Covid-19 is an evolving situation, a decision will be made closer to time though the event organisers are continuously monitoring the situation and remain in close contact with the concerned government officials.

While preparing the event schedule, the organisers have ensured each side is playing equal number of day and evening matches. Also, the event organisers have tried to make optimum use of the weekends while scheduling double-headers that will ensure maximum following and coverage.

The Support Period for the HBL PSL 2021 will commence from 15 February and the foreign players competing in the league will arrive into Karachi with a negative PCR test. Upon arrival, they will require two more negative PCR tests before being allowed to train and compete in the competition. The asymptomatic players or support staff returning a positive test will have to serve a five-day isolation period with RT-PCR tests on day one and four.

Babar Hamid, Director – Commercial: “We are delighted to announce the schedule of our marquee event – the HBL Pakistan Super League, which for the second successive season will be held in Pakistan in its entirety.

“We had to make the tough decision to limit matches to Karachi and Lahore, and this decision has been taken in the larger interest of the event, participants and the country. We want to limit the unnecessary exposure of the players as much as practically possible so that the players can operate in a safe and healthy environment that, in turn, will allow them to continue to entertain the fans and followers with their talent, skills and gamesmanship.

“The crowds in Multan and Rawalpindi were awesome last year and we owe a big thanks to them for their contribution in making the HBL PSL 2020 a resounding success. I am sure when life returns to normal, the two cities will get their share of matches as the PCB remains committed and determined to stage matches of the HBL PSL at as many venues as possible.

“Apart from the competitors, the PCB also has a duty of care towards the spectators. Although we have a couple of options on the table, the PCB will continue to monitor the situation and delay the decision as late as possible on crowd attendances as for the PCB, health and lives are of utmost importance.

“As for the six franchisees and the event organisers, the schedule announcement gives them an opportunity to start planning for the tournament. While the six sides will be finalising their squads at the upcoming players’ Draft, the PCB has already been working hard on event planning and now is time to change gears so that we can strengthen our reputation and credibility as a high-performing board.”

Audi Launches New One-Off Luxury Car

By

AFP

-

Apr 11, 2021

Audi has revealed the lengths it will go to to meet a client’s demands, and, in the case of the one-off A8 L luxury car unveiled on Monday, those lengths add up to 6.36 meters.

The bespoke limousine, based on the company’s flagship A8 L model, took a year to develop.

And while it simply looks like a stretched version of a standard car, Audi needed to totally redesign and rebuild everything beyond the A Pillar to ensure that six people could travel in complete comfort and that each occupant had his or her own door for getting in and out of the car.

Each passenger gets individual access to a full multimedia entertainment system while the very rear seat occupants also have access to an integrated cooler.

Perhaps most impressive is that despite the car’s huge size, Audi has managed to fit it with the same Quattro all-wheel drive system and ensure a 0-100km/h time of 7.1 seconds as well as the obligatory electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.

Despite being a one-off commission for a European client, on Monday Audi also confirmed that it has already received orders for the car, which it is tentatively calling the A8L Extended.

Pakistanis Share Their Worst Experiences On Tinder!

By

Apr 11, 2021

“I used to judge people who signed up on dating apps. Well, up until Lockdown descended and I signed up on Tinder,” said a young adult Pakistani female.

With the Tinder app shutting down in Pakistan, team Brandsynario approached some fellow Pakistanis and asked them how they found Tinder. Were they able to find their significant other or not?

The Tinder Experiences

As it turns out, most of their experiences were weird as hell! One would think, and here I am stereotyping, that women must have had it tough. But interestingly, even men had some really weird experiences to share. We have documented the most interesting ones here.

1. I am me!

In talks with Brandsynario, a Pakistani female shared her experience. She told us that she and her friend signed up on Tinder during the Lockdown. The sole idea was to see how the gentry was. Soon, the friend matched with a guy who was interesting to talk to. The conversation was going well until our interviewee also matched with him. And… here’s the highlight… the same discussion ensued.

They were confused. “Do you talk to every girl the same way?” Interviewee asked.

“No, you are special,” He said.

“But but but… what about my friend?” She asked.

“I am not a robot!”

2. Don’t You Remember Me?

One of our interviewees mentioned how he matched with a girl who refused to talk to him. Upon inquiry, she replied that she contacted him four years ago on Facebook. He didn’t respond nicely then.

3. Stalker much?

“I only matched with three people and could get only one to talk,” a male interviewee mentioned.

But the cute interactions of insisting on meeting for lunch/dinner turned to ‘accidentally’ meeting up when his location was turned on.

And things became super weird when she tells him she has a tracker on him and she can slit his wrist and her own.

4. Too Much Information, Tinder

A female shared the weirdest one yet. So she started talking to this man who had some insecurities. He kept mentioning how he was better than his sister because he did his BBA from London, while the sister was just an artist.

An hour into the conversation, he mentions he is adventurous; he once ‘played with himself’ for 16 hours straight. She hoped he meant PubG had he not further clarified.

^See what I did there?

5. You are lucky you matched with me

When you are Iron Man, this overconfidence even sounds cool, but when you are not, well, my friend…

So this lucky girl matched with a guy who was gracious enough to forget about her past relationships if she ultimately submitted to him. Fifty shades much?

These were some of the experiences that people shared with team Brandsynario. If you have something you want to add, let us know, and we will add them to our collection.

12 Pakistani Celebrities Transformed Into Superheroes

By

Waqas Rabbani

Apr 11, 2021

You may have seen some random images floating around on social media recently of some well-known Pakistani celebrities morphed into Superheroes. These have been made by a local youth magazine by the name of Blah.

Here’s the backstory in their own words: So, Team blah recently got embroiled in a heated discussion about the lack of Desi Superheroes, and naturally from that our conversation moved on to what if some of our more popular Hollywood superheroes were played by none other than our Desi celebrities.

Our Brilliant graphic artists took a swig of coffee and got to work!

What resulted is SUPER POWERED PAKISTAN!!!

Without further Ado, let me present to you, SUPER-POWERED PAKISTAN.

1. Ali Zafar As Nightwing

“Channo Ki Aankh Pay Mask Laga Hai !”

I think Ali Zafar should quit everything else he’s working on and try for the role because even on a photoshopped image he’s totally on point as Nightwing.

2. Fawad Khan as Dr. Strange

“Chahey Kuch Bhi Hojaey Mai Rahunga, Chahey Reality Tham Jaye Mai Rahunga… !!”

So, I have heard some of my female friends say Fawad khan is charming, (I wouldn’t know I don’t watch much of his stuff) but I have to admit as doctor strange he literally has the power to charm anyone 😀

3. Humayun Saeed as Iron Man

“Jawaan, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist”

Although if you ask me Humanyn Saeed doesn’t completely fill the shoes of Robert Downey Junior, there’s no other celebrity in Pakistan who could fill this role better in my humble opinion.

4. Imran Abbas as Captain America

DO YOU NEED FREEDOM?

Causing ovaries to explode since he was a teenager, Imran Abbas certainly looks like he could play the part of the of the iconic marvel superhero Captain America, the question i find myself asking is if he would have that same commanding aura.

5. Mahira Khan as Scarlet Witch

She has SPECIAL POWERS… *Wink Wink*

So this image to me looks a lot like an indian movie poster, i would have liked to see much more details in this, but to be honest i really think mahira khan would totally be able to pull of the role of scarlet witch, even though she’s older i do believe she has the acting chops to take on Ultron.

Disney Princesses Re-Imagined as Pakistani Actresses

6. Mahnoor Baloch as Wonder Woman

No wonder she doesn’t age…

This image is perfection, and i really think this finally answers the question of what Mahnoor baloch’s secret to eternal youth is, she’s an Amazonian warrior princess.

7. Mohib Mirza as Wolverine

Don’t mess with this guy…

Ok, Just no ! i would have loved to see a more agressive face on this guy, perhaps then he would have been able to convince me that he’s fit to bear the legacy of Hugh Jackman.

8. Sajid Hassan as Nick Fury

Uncle ko ghussa aa raha hai…

This guy has the resting bitch face down !, like literally the level of resting bitch face in this one is over 9000, you can totally sense the commanding aura, the meticulous mind behind the eyepatch. this dude would totally make an awesome Nick Fury, although i do believe he would be a more serious and less humorous character.

9. Qurat ul Ain Baloch as Black Widow

Looks that kill…Voice that brings you back to life!

I’m on the fence about this one to be honest, it could be a trainwreck, or an amazing performance, i’m just trying to imagine a QBish Black Widow beating the crap out of innocent henchmen while singing in a high pitched falsetto.

10. Shaan Shahid as Batman

Better than Ben Affleck IMHO…

There’s nothing else to say about this, this just works !! i mean it totally works, from the Bat Shaped Moonches to the gritty beard, it just WORKS !!!

11. Hamza Ali Abbasi as Superman

SUPER FATWAA…AWAYYYY!!!

In addition to freeze breath, lazer eyes, solar flare explosions from the emblem, super speed and super strength, i believe this character will also have SUPER FATWA powers 😀

12. Chaiwala as Spiderman

Hamara web hamara chai ki tarah, KARAK…

Yaar this is just adorable ! i don’t know if you have watched civil war or not, if you haven’t go check out the new superman in civil war, this chaiwalal is totally as innocent as he is ! i mean Marvel should totally have this guy cameo in a spider mask somewhere in the next spiderman homecoming movie.

So which one of these Pakistani actors is your favorite superhero?

5 Best Budget Phones By Samsung You Should Buy

Some of the brands in the technological industry are the greatest ones ever. Their products are so impressive that people keep coming back for more. That is precisely how you know that a system works: the people love it! This is how we know that Samsung is one of the best brands to have ever touched this Earth. In light of that, let us inform you of some of the best budget phones that Samsung has to offer.

These smartphones are not only affordable, but they display such astonishing features. To be able to get this much accessibility in a lesser amount is quite an impressive accomplishment. We know that Samsung is a brand that usually deals with flagship smartphones. They are someone who is able to give Apple a tough time on the market. They tend to follow closely towards the trends that are in the world today. According to the trends, they introduce newer and newer features in the phones. Samsung might just be on its way to become a bigger titan on the market. Today, we take a look at their budget range.

1. Samsung A12:

This phone came out amidst the pandemic. To be able to release a smartphone in such conditions is interesting. That, in itself, is a huge accomplishment. While it is not a flagship one, it has a lot to offer in its range. It has a 6.5 inch screen, with a glass front side and plastic body. This can save it from a lot of falls. Additionally, it uses the Mediatek MT6765 chipset, which is not an obsolete one. It is quite recent and, combined with 64GB storage; it makes for a tough cookie.

The phone is available in four variants, going as high as 128GB storage and 6GB ram. If we talk about the camera capabilities, it has a quad array at the rear. With the main at 48mp, with ultra wide at 5, the phone is enormous! The rest of the two cameras are macro and depth. With a powerful 5000mah battery, the phone is worth Rs.26,000/-

2. Samsung A11:

While its successor came out in November 2020, this phone is from May 2020. However, being a little older does not mean it is any less in its capabilities. With a 6.4 inch screen and an 81% screen-to-body ratio, the phone is one impressive specimen. If we talk about the chipset, the phone uses an octa core processor, all topped off with Snapdragon 450. While this is quite old, it can still hold its own in battle. You cannot think of the phone heating up or slowing down.

The Samsung phone comes in three variants, with the highest one being 64GB storage and 3GB ram. The camera capability on the phone is a triple array the rear end. A 13mp main camera, followed by 5mp ultra wide and a 2mp depth sensor is what this phone’s photography is all about. Samsung A11 also has a 4000mah battery, so you can expect the smartphone to last more than a day. Its currently available at a price of Rs.19,000/-

3. Samsung A21:

This is what one may refer to as an optimal phone. It has quite a lot of features and does not fall short in a lot of areas. It also has a 6.5 inch screen alongside a plastic body. The chipset on the phone is Mediatek MT6765, which is quite a powerful one. It is neither too old nor too recent and still performs well. The variants on the phone are not available, and it has 32GB storage as well as 3GB ram. In today’s day and age, 3GB ram can handle quite a lot of processes at once.

While the camera array is not as high, with a main one of 16mp, followed by ultra wide, macro and depth, the results are still decent. The battery capacity is set at 4000mah, so you can keep playing those games for quite a lot of hours. With a fingerprint sensor on this phone, it is a good investment. Its price is currently set at Rs.34,000/-

4. Samsung A01:

This is one of the best budget phones on this list. While its functions are nowhere near flagship, it is a good buy in its price. It has a 5.7 inch screen with a Snapdragon 439 chipset. It is quite old but its not a complete obsolete one. In the price range that this is offered, the chipset can dish out a lot of power.

With two variants, the higher being 32GB storage and 2GB ram, the phone is an absolute titan on the lower budget side. With a 3000mah battery, the phone is worth Rs.16,000/-

5. Samsung A31:

This phone was also release during the time of a pandemic and has seen a lot of hard times. With a 6.4 inch body, this is a big phone. It is not only big, but also has a Mediatek MT6768 processor. It is a few generations ahead and powers the phone like nothing! With a 48 MP main camera, alongside a 5mp macro one, this phone is an absolute beast. It is one of the few phones with a good macro camera.

Additionally, the phone has a 5000mah battery, so you can easily last it past two days. With fast charging available, the phone is being sold at Rs.36,000/-

Asad Dalal MD Talking Point Shares The Secret Of His Success

By

Mehak Zehra

Apr 10, 2021

Oftentimes, what you are supposed to be is not what you had imagined. Rather, is defined by your journey, your life events, and it is equally magical. Asad Dalal, Managing Director of Talking Point, is the epitome of that.

He says:

‘Wake up at 7am! You will be 2 hours ahead of everyone who does not.’

But is this his secret formula? Not so much. The formula is in his life events!

Plans that change

Wanting to be in the biggest think tanks (research firms) of Pakistan, he started his education in the field of Economics at Szabist University. But as life would have it, he got into the field of sales. Having to bring in clients for the company he was working at as well as looking at his father’s books business failing due to the advent of digital, he realised the importance of money. While the field of Sales would bot be the endgame, this realization was certainly a very important landmark in Asad’s career.

Joining Talking Point

The next chapter in the story started when Asad made the shift to a PR firm. He didn’t stay their for long but it smoothed the way leading towards Talking Point. In proving himself, he worked day in day out, despite getting married, losing his father only 3 months after that, and undergoing surgery; all in the same year. It was because of that that someone who joined as a Junior Media Executive, emerged as a founding member and Media Relations Manager. The promotion streak as anyone can see, did not stop at that.

The consecutive achievements that Asad has to his name at Talking Point come from his life’s learnings; how to bring clients on board, what strategies to employ to maintain clients, etc. In fact, Asad has come with his own golden points that he follows down to the T.

1) Always come up with story that connects with the consumer.

2) Pick relevant influencers to tell the story.

3) Don’t waste the brand’s money on quick fixes.

“Doing the same thing repeatedly and not coming up with newer, better ways of engaging with the media and consumers is a mistake many PR agencies have made in the past. You have to evolve and adapt to new ways of working. There is no second thought to it.”

Boiling it down!

So where Asad Dalal’s philosophy is concerned, it is being true; being true to your work. People want growth and by that it could mean financial growth or career growth, but that growth is only achievable if you are true to your work. When you are true to it, it gets seen. But making this absorb in the new generation is something Asad finds a challenge. The new generation is very spontaneous and looks for shortcuts.

Point is, Asad’s life is an example for a number of people but especially those who think shortcuts are the way to go. Because if you are true to you and to your work, slowly and gradually you will achieve big, just like the Managing Director at Talking Point.

First Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Unit To Be Installed In Islamabad

Electrical charging stations in Pakistan now — Image Source: samaa.tv

The world is moving swiftly towards the electric era. Whether you prefer combustion engine vehicles or electric ones, this is something that cannot be denied. Tesla is one of the front runners in the race towards this new era, and a lot of brands are joining in. It seems that Pakistan is about to have an electrical vehicle advancement too.

While we are relatively new towards automotive field, we are making considerable progress. So many new brands have entered into Pakistan, with some of them planning on vehicle assembling here. On most recent news, it seems that Volvo might just begin appearing in Pakistan, due to the Stellantis group deal. However, the news today is slightly different than those of specifically automobiles.

Electric vehicles and their stations — Image Source: japantimes.co.jp

How Electric Works:

So let us dive into some of the basics of how electric vehicles work. Firstly, they have no engine block, because no combustion. Thus, they don’t have an exhaust pipe either. The vehicle runs on batteries, which are placed underneath the driver, within the chassis. Where combustion engines have horsepower, electric vehicles have electrical power or ‘Kilowatt’.

Now, what about fuel? The main reason electrical is moving forward is because fossil fuels are non renewable. One day, they will run out and all the combustion engines will be rendered useless. What the electric vehicles require is something to charge the batteries. Instead of gas stations, these cars use charging stations which can charge the vehicle in no time. In light of that, Pakistan is seeing a certain form of development.

A New Charging Station:

According to the sources, Tesla has confirmed that Pakistan has joined it’s electrical venture. The first fast charging unit, by Tesla, has been installed in Islamabad. Anyone with an electric vehicle, within the region, can just go up and charge their car. Charging is expected to take thirty minutes and will cost Rs.2500. This will give the car enough mileage to go 300kms.

While a single station may not seen like a huge deal, it’s prospects are enormous. Tesla has also stated that they are adding more stations in the country soon. In accordance to the same sources, Kharian and Multan are some of the next stops for charging station installations. We hope to see this happen in Karachi too!

First Electric charging station — Image Source: siasat.com

Crossing Hurdles:

One of the main issues with converting to full electric is the lack of infrastructure. There are quite a lot of charging stations needed and it will take time before this can happen. In time, we may see a lot of gas stations being converted to electric charging ones. The world is moving fast and everyone wants to stay caught up to it.

Additionally, it seems that Pakistan has also made an oath. The country intends to make 30% of it’s vehicles electric by 2030. This is definitely a bold goal and must be supported on by everyone. We hope to see Pakistan among the front runners towards the age of electric.

Toyota Launches New Models With Autonomous Technology

If you are familiar with automotive brands, you must have heard of Toyota. There might not be a day passing by when a person does not come across a Toyota vehicle. It is not only an impressive one but it also offers a high range in terms of budget. Toyota has some of the biggest vehicle ranges of all time. It seems that Toyota has just revealed and launched two new models.

While the brand is certainly not the oldest ones, it is definitely one of the highest running ones. Have you ever seen a Land Cruiser and not imagine yourself driving down the road in one. That said, Toyota really is a brand that is made for the people. While their products can be, at times, expensive, they are extremely long running ones. Now, Toyota seems to have launched two new models. However, what is it about these models that are attracting the eye of the driver?

Lexus launch by Toyota — Image Source: global.toyota

New Toyota Launches

It seems that two vehicles have been launched in Tokyo. The first is Lexus and the second is Mirai. You must be aware of the success that Lexus has had over the years. What makes these launches different is the technology that they house. According to the reports, they seem to have an extensive amount of driver-assist technology embedded deep within. This includes features like limiting the car in its lane, maintaining distance from other vehicles as well as changing lane under driver supervision. This type of technology can be narrowed down as level 2 vehicle autonomous tech.

The world is moving forward with a steady progress and this news definitely shows development. While the world is quite a lot of time away from level 5 autonomy, even level 4, Toyota has certainly made progress. While a lot of other brands are invested in EV and its correlating tech, Toyota is making bounds here too. It would not do to advance in one area of tech and not move in another. The world is slowly moving ahead and everyone wants to be a part of the approaching age.

Moving Ahead

This is a piece of news that deserves commendation. The brand is making steady bounds and there seems to be room for improvement as well. After all, we are always constantly improving. The head of Toyota’s research unit has also stated that they are looking forward to the EV based future. They also wish to see more technology being embedded within vehicles.

Apart from that, there are some vehicles lined up for released, from the company, within 2021. For now, let us bask in the information that advancements cannot and will not stop.
