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.

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.

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

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.

Burj-Khalifa

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

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.

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

[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

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.

The company states that “the strategy has become integral to our approach to marketing across the Coca-Cola trademark.

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.

According to PSL’s official tweet, Chief Executive Wasim Khan, Director – Commercial and Babar Hamid, will hold a media conference at the National Stadium at 3PM to provide further updates.

Moments later, fans took their disappointment to Twitter and made the most of this news. Have a look at these below:

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

Audi

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.

The Audi A8L Extended

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.

Inside the Audi A8L extended

 

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!

“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

pakistani-actors-as-superheroes-lead

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.

superpowered-pakistan

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 !”

ali-nightwing

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… !!”

fawad-strange

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”

humayun-ironman

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?

imran-abbas-as-captain-america

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*

mahira-khan-as-scarlet-witch

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…
mahnoor-baloch-as-wonder-woman

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…

mohib-mirza-as-wolverine

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…

sajid-hassan-as-nick-fury

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!

qb-as-black-widow

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…

shaan-shahid-as-batman

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!!!

hamza-ali-abbasi-as-superman

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…

chai-wala-as-spider-man

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?

Let us know in the comments below & stay tuned to Brandsynario for more updates.

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
-

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

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!

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?

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.

Coronavirus has wreaked havoc in our lives! We are in the middle of a pandemic and locked at home! The use of social media has increased significantly. People have been discussing all kinds of things on the internet. One such discussion was among Pakistani women, where they shared as to what personality traits they are looking for in a guy.

A twitter user from Lahore, Essa Hassan tweeted, “What do you ladies look for in a guy anyway? Other than looks”. Much to our surprise, the tweet caught the attention, and hundreds of women poured in responses.

We are glad to see that people have finally moved on from looks and are interested in traits that matter the most!

Is Nice voice important? We don’t think so! It is a plus point for sure

Maybe, but not all guys are decent and sophisticated

Some guys just need to go shoe shopping. We agree 100%

That is so true. As you grow older, the significance of looks merely dies

Respect is as essential as ENTERTAINMENT, ENTERTAINMENT, ENTERTAINMENT 

While some interests can differ, music taste must be the same 

It is true! You can tell how ambitious one is regarding their goals in life by the way they speak to others

Thank God, it is not dead

Having a personality of his own is so important

We can’t stress enough as to how vital hygiene is! It seriously is not cool to wear used socks

Polite guys are the best 

Toxic masculinity is unbearable 

Nobody likes fake people! 

Much to our surprise, nobody said ‘Money.’ Material things might not be essential but they are a necessity. It is a difficult decision to choose the ‘one.’ Remember, you can’t get all personality traits as you require, so make choices as such that you are ready to give up certain things.

Have something to add? Let us know in the comment section below what personality traits you would like in a guy.

8 Pakistani Celebrities Who Rejected Bollywood Offers

By
Ghazala Sulaiman

Seemingly, Pakistani celebrities have cast a magical spell on Bollywood. Despite the cold war that erupts every now and then between Pakistan and India, our stars have truly outshined themselves and have effortlessly floored the audience of the neighboring nation.

While some of them sincerely made us proud, the rest got shamed due to dire controversies across the border. But amongst them are some famous luminaries who fancied the entertainment projects emerging in their own homeland. When Bollywood came calling on their doorstep with a whiff of an offer wrapped in gold, these celebrities said an outright NO to movies in India!

Check out the list of some of the leading stars from Pakistan who turned down Bollywood movies.

1. Shaan Shahid

shaan pakistani high paid actor

Topping the list is Pakistan’s prominent patriotic actor, the veteran Shaan Shahid. A staunch believer of the talent that thrives in his nation, the star does not shy away from condemning other celebrities who chose B-town over their own entertainment industry.

Shaan’s famous Bollywood refusal remains Amir Khan’s movie Ghajini in which he was asked to play a villainous avatar.

Last year, the actor revealed in an interview with The National, “I refused India once. When I read the role, I knew that they needed a new terrorist face and I said no. In Pakistan, I live in people’s hearts. That’s a huge responsibility. I cannot let them down.”

2. Hamza Ali Abbasi

The popular social media naysayer, Hamza Ali Abbasi is bound to be a prominent member of the “No Bollywood” team. When Meekal Zulfiqaar debuted in Bollywood with Akshay Kumar’s Baby, our Pyaray Afzal took to Facebook to expose that he was initially offered the role in the movie but turned it down as it had anti-Pakistani content.

3. Faisal Quraishi

Faisal Qureshi Ramadan Show

The evergreen favorite of Pakistan’s television industry, the versatile artist Faisal Quraishi has too been driving the “Anti-Bollywood” bandwagon for quite some time. Being the perfectionist he is, Faisal too has turned down a few movies offers from Bollywood.

In an exclusive interview to Brandsynario earlier this year, the humble hero divulged, “I’ve had 2-3 offers, but the scripts weren’t to my liking. I don’t want to disappoint my fans by doing that doesn’t live up to their expectation.”

4. Fahad Mustafa

Riding high on success, the Na Maloom Afraad heartthrob Fahad Mustafa is one of those loyal- to-Pakistan actors.

Recently in a Twitter talk, the Jeeto Pakistan host unveiled that he received a movie proposal from the neighboring nation but preferred to work in his homeland.

The Billi item girl Mehwish Hayat oozes her catty confidence in whatever she does. Surely, it was inevitable that the reverberation of her powerful acting skills and killer dance moves will travel to India. According to gossips, Hayat was offered a role in Jut James Bond to star across actor Jimmy Shergill but turned the proposal down for good.

There is no stopping for the Bin Roye boy Humayun Saeed who is on a perpetual rise to stardom in Pakistan’s booming cinema industry. Yet, the actor has reportedly denied back to back offers from prominent producers in India.

In an interview to The News back in July 2015, Saeed openly clarified, “I’m in no mood to work in Bollywood right now. I have no issues working in Bollywood, but it has to be a really strong project to sway me. Otherwise, I’m feeling no urge to go now.”

7. Sanam Jung

sanam-jhung

Who doesn’t love the rising superstar Sanam Jung! With her phenomenal performances in Dil-e-Muztar, Muhabbat Subah Ka Sitara and Alvida, she has surely proved her flair in Pakistan and so, has reaped attention beyond the border.

When Bollywood knocked on Jung’s door, the Jago Pakistan Jago hostess straight out refused the offer.

“When I said I would not do bold scenes, they replied they could ‘cheat’, but even if they cheat a scene, the audience will think I have done it. So Bollywood is out of the question”, said Sanam Jung in an interview to Aurora magazine.

Few people might know this but the bubbly heroine from “Kash Mai Teri Beti Na Hoti”, was offered a bold avatar by Bollywood director Anees Bazmee.

While Bazmee has been the mastermind behind comedy films like Singh is King, Ready and No Entry, Effendi did not even think twice turning down the Indian icon.

“Anees Bazmee called me and praised my drama serial and asked me to work in his film. I asked him about the story and the character I’d portray but refused to sign the movie because it required me to play a bold character,” the starlet commented to Roznama Express.

Hyundai Elantra Vs Proton Saga – A Friendly Comparison

Competition lies in every domain. It doesn’t matter which niche it is, progressing ones alongside competition. If there isn’t anyone to challenge your skill, you may not be motivated to polish and improve. Just like that, we have a comparison today between two automobiles. This is between the Proton Saga and Hyundai Elantra. 

While we know of both companies, it is true that one is older than the other. It seems that both of them have come up with impress SUVs. Where the Proton X70 is rising fast in the market, the Hyundai Tucson is dominating too. They have impressive capabilities and immense features, leaving barely any room for compromise. However, today, we are looking at their sedan releases so let us dive into the details of those.

Automobile Comparison in two brands

Hyundai elantra and it's Comparison

Hyundai Elantra:

Hyundai Elantra seems like quite an impressive car, with comfortable seatings. It has a 5 person seating capacity with a trunk capacity of 407 litres. Additionally, the fuel tank on it can hold 50 litres. This is more than enough to go long distances on a single go, considering the average on the car is decent. The two engine variants you can expect to get here is either the 2.0 litre one or the 1.6 litre one.

It has a 6 speed automatic transmission, with modes like sports and eco. Additionally, the electric power steering makes driving a whole lot easier on the driver. However, it must be noted that the vehicle does not have an electronic hand brake. Rather, it employs old-school lever one. The current price of Hyundai Elantra is set at Rs.40 Lac. That seems like quite a hefty price tag.

Proton Saga:

Now this is one of the fastest growing brands and they have released a sedan. If we talk about transmission, the Proton Saga has quite a lot of variants. These include automatic and manual both. All variants have a set capacity of 1.3 Litres, but the difference is in extra features. The automatic 1.3L Ace differs from the auto 1.3L standard. The manual variants have a 5 speed transmission whereas the automatic ones are a 4 speed CVT one. Here, it also boils down to preference as to which one the driver buys. Some people love automatic, while others prefer shifting.

It has a remote operated trunk alongside a fuel tank that holds 40 litre. The vehicle has a 5 person seating capacity, which means that it’s a vehicle fit for a family. It also has the signature Proton ‘infinite weave grill’, giving it a unique feel. This makes it stand quite apart from the counterparts of other brands. The price of Proton Saga is currently between Rs.20-24 Lac. This seems like quite a reasonable range and one that sticks well to a decent budget.

A Verdict:

While it is quite apparent that the Proton Saga is a good buy for its price, it also boils down to preference. There may be features of Elantra that people want to go for, rather than the Proton Saga. However, it can be seen that both of them are locked hand-in-hand, waiting to emerge victorious.

This Scene From A Pakistani Drama Is Making People Furious

By
Mehak Zehra

pakistani drama
Image Source: Youtube

Twitter exploded today with a clip from a Pakistani drama called Oye Motti. So apparently, this is a show which has a new story in every episode. Numerous actors have appeared in it to date including Hajra Yamin. The idea behind the name is to address body shaming and the concept that exists in our society where anyone over a certain weight, we classify as fat or rather ‘motti’.

The clip that got viral was a teaser of episode nine of the show. Furqan Qureshi was a part of it and he was seeing challenging his fiance on their engagement saying he will break the engagement if, within a year, she doesn’t lose almost a hundred kg. That, in itself, is humiliating to the core.

Have a look and decide what you think about this:

Twitter was full of reactions to the clip.

But we did not want to make any assumptions because this could have been taken out of context or it could totally have been the drama putting a light on body shaming.

So we decided to watch the show and see for ourselves what was going on!

We found that the episode was already out so we proceeded to watch it. This episode at least was very problematic.

In the episode, as the clip had shown, the fiance made the girl fall in love with him, and then, during the engagement, he announced the challenge.

Truly heartbroken, the girl took on the challenge and with extreme diet and exercise, within a couple of months only, reduced more than 20 kg. At this time, she did meet her fiance who had the most non-respectful behavior towards her. But she did not mind that.

For the next few months, the harmful routine continued, and then one day, she fainted in her office. It is then the fiance revealed even more problematic details. So apparently, he had seen a girl in the hospital a year ago who was there for her checkup. He overhears that she has some medical problems.

When they leave, he enters the doctor’s office and enquires about the girl. And there, the doctor readily reveals personal information about the patient. I mean, what the hell???

And it is then he decides that he loves her so he will belittle her to encourage her weight loss plan.

The lesson out of this Pakistani drama is definitely not a good one!

I mean it is understandable that the goal was a good one and that the increasing weight of the girl was actually becoming harmful to her. But are we really going to trample on someone’s self-esteem, extract personal information from her doctor, and encourage the wrong way of weight loss?

And yes, the weight loss journey should be a healthy one. If someone is losing weight at this speed, the doctor at least should not be encouraging it. And if it’s important to lose weight, lose it healthily which she was not doing. Had she been losing weight in a healthy way, she would have never fainted.
