Last week, certain sources claimed to have found some of the most important details regarding the Samsung S series features, which gave too much information regarding the smartphone that has not even been announced.

What Is Up With Apple And The iPhone 13?

The iPhones are announced in the last quarter of the year, mostly between September and October, which is way too far from January as of yet, but details are already coming out. It has not even been 6 months since the last four iPhone models/variants for the year 2020-2021 were unveiled, and details regarding the new iPhones are already coming forth.

According to the rumors and leaks circulating on the internet, the next iPhone, which will probably be called the iPhone 13, will have a thinner notch but a thicker body. The rumor was shared by Mac Rumors, a platform dedicated to Apple-related news & updates who cited Mac Otakara for this specific rumor.

Another change that is to be expected in the new iPhone model and its variants will be the cameras. The lenses are expected to be covered by sapphire glass and will increase by 0.9mm as per the latest reports.

What Can We Say About The Authenticity of These Rumors or Leaks?

There is a lot of time for the next iPhones to release, and nothing is certain as of yet. Whether the information about these latest rumors and blogs are true can only be verified once Apple announces it themselves; however, one has to wait until around September for that annual Apple Event where Tim Cook unveils numerous updates and gadgets in the iOS ecosystem.

Last year, Apple decided not to include the charger with the latest iPhones, which led to a lot of public reaction, which shows the importance of the tech giant on the overall industry. The Apple event is one of the most anticipated events of the year. Every year, the event garners a lot of attention, coverage, and viewership from across the globe, along with that of Samsung, whose event-date was accidentally leaked recently.

Zayn Malik Has Tweeted His Phone Number & Fans Are Excited

Former One Directioner Zayn Malik, who has 30.2 million followers on Twitter and 38.3 million on Instagram, is one of the most loved British singers of the current times. He and Gigi Hadid welcomed a member into the family quite recently, so they were in the news for that too. And then Gigi Hadid unintentionally ended up promoting a local Pakistani brand, which was quite an uproar.

Zayn Malik Number?

But that was Zayn’s partner. Our article is about something that Zayn has done, and the fans almost had a heart attack. On his Twitter account yesterday, Zayn dropped a number.

+1 (323)-991-ZAYN

At first, people didn’t realize what had happened. Did he accidentally share his personal number? Or, was he trying to tell the fans that there was a way they could contact him?

What’s more, Hadid replied to the tweet saying, ‘extensions 6 and 8.’ Was she implying that diallers need to press for these extensions to talk to their partner? It was all confusing.

But soon, the mystery cleared up.

The reality 

As it turns out, the British singer is releasing his third album. The album is called, Nobody is Listening. And the number Malik listed is definitely legit, just that it is not his personal number. So when you call on that number, you will hear your favorite singer’s voice that says:

“Yo, this is Zayn here. Album is dropping on January 15. Press any number from one through nine to get to meet me. Press it now.”

You basically get a sneak peek of the album.

Going back to Gigi’s message, the extensions 6 and 8, it means that Gigi’s favorites in the upcoming album are the 6th and the 8th songs.

Moreover, once you disconnect, the number sends a text on your cellphone, more or less the same message you heard in Zayn’s voice.

“Yoo, Zayn here! Tx for hitting my line. Give me your dates so we can stay in touch.”

So if you want to talk to him, or well, just listen to his voice that seems like he is talking to you, give it a shot.

WhatsApp: Old Glory

It has been one of the most successful applications of the time. Yes, ever since the dawn of smartphones, people have connected with each other through WhatsApp. One of its most interesting features is its functionality. WhatsApp does not require a mobile sim alone to function. It can even work on a data sim or you can use the app on one phone and keep the sim in another.

From its launch date to today, we can say that WhatsApp has had a good run so far. However, the recent update has caused many people to move away from this app. Why is that? Is their privacy being breached? The app they have selected as their alternate savior is Signal. What is so special about it? Why choose it over WhatsApp? If you’ve already switched or are planning to, here is how you can move group conversations from WhatsApp to Signal.

The Shift To Signal:

Now, shifting to Signal, this is a simple process. We have broken it down in 5 steps. First, open the Signal app, click on the three dots in the corner and create a group. Now, give a name to the group and add desired contacts.

Next, open group, click on the three dots and then select ‘Group Link’ from settings. Then, turn on the toggle for Group link and tap on ‘Share’. Finally, open the whatsapp group chat and paste the group link. Now, anyone with access to this link can chat on the signal group you created!

Internet Privacy?

Now that Signal is becoming more and more common these days, what is WhatsApp? Yes, it is true that a good chunk of population is still on the old app because of loyalty or simply because of laziness. It can be quite a hassle to shift to a new app and hope everyone, you know, did the same.

Of course, we have yet to see how well Signal functions for people. So far, a lot of the audience seem satisfied with it so there is a chance that it’ll go far. Whether you’re an old whatsapp user or a newly entered one, do check out Signal and how it functions. Maybe it appeals to you better than it’s current opposite end.

The world is full of innovations and various inventions. It is home to some of the most interesting pieces of technology as well as art. Where we have the invention of the atomic bomb in history, we also have the automobile. The world, it seems, runs in black, white and shades of gray.

Every single day, there is a plethora of new ideas being thrown on the table. Of course, there are ideas which are specific to countries too. If Netflix is available in the US, its content may differ from the one in India. Sometimes, there are innovations which are similar to others but their functions make them unique. Earlier, we heard that Pakistan intends to launch it’s own version of spotify. Now, we have recent news that tells us of another launch. The govt is set to develop Pakistan’s first social media app!

What’s interesting is that every App has an audience unique and specific to it. If you’re looking for knowledge, information and authenticity, Reddit and Quora are the way to go. Looking for content in the form of videos? Looking for tutorials? Youtube is your best friend! These Apps not only provide information to us, but are a digital means of escape for many. You want to go log into instagram or tumblr and laugh at memes, after a long hectic day. Maybe you want to relax and sleep while watching a Vsauce or Pewdiepie video!

A New App:

Recently, Federal Minister for IT and Telecom, Syed Amin Ul Haque, stated the existence of an ongoing development. This application will allow users to chat with each other as well as send video and voice messages. The minister made it clear that the App intends to finish development before they year is up.

He also said that a draft of the App will be presented before the federal cabinet development. This is so they can attain approval and move towards a launch. It is being considered quite a step forward for Pakistan because it’s expected to be a world class social media app!

A New Age Of Technology:

This news tells us that Pakistan is slowly stepping way forward into the second decade of the 21st century. In recent automobile news, we see that more and more brands are entering Pakistan. The auto industry is booming, with newer and cheaper vehicles launching day after day.

Once this app is finished and is released to the public, we shall see how they perceive it. We hope that the work done bears fruit and leaves the users wanting more. The govt also stated that the App will not support any form of racist, blasphemous or innuendo content.

COVID-19 Can Potentially Harm Your Brain Without Infecting It

Covid-19
Source: Science

Coronavirus did quite some damage to the world as it spread. People tried adapting to the change in hopes that it will soon be over. But having witnessed the first anniversary of covid-19 in November and seeing new strains appear, that hope has gradually vanished.

Now, it has been discovered that one of the new strains can damage the brain. You might say that the original strain was also doing it, so that’s not new. But here is the thing. The original strain was reportedly making people blind aside from psychological illnesses such as depression. The new strain, however, can damage the brain without infecting it. So the scenario is, coronavirus strand will not have to invade the brain tissue.

COVID-19 new strain research

To come to this finding, researchers examined 19 bodies of people who died due to COVID-19. They focused on the brain regions that were more likely to be affected by the disease; the olfactory bulb and the brainstem. These two regions control smell, breathing, and heart rate. 14 out of 19 bodies had damaged blood vessels in these regions. These areas had inflamed surroundings, which was the result of the body’s immune response. However, the virus itself was not present in the brain. The research author Dr. Avindra Nath from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, said, ‘We were completely surprised.’

The researchers’ team believes that the observations from the covid-19 dead bodies were associated with what they usually found in neuro-inflammatory diseases.

“In the future, we plan to study how novel coronavirus harms the brain’s blood vessels and whether that produces some of the short- and long-term symptoms we see in patients,” the researcher said.

So it even more important now to exercise all the measures to protect oneself against COVID-19.

Veena Malik Sues Her Ex-husband For Rs. 1bn

Image Source: HIP in Pakistan

Update: January 11th 2020

On Monday, actress Veena Malik filed a defamation suit against her ex-husband accusing him of causing loss to business opportunities, loss to different contracts, mental torture and allegedly launching a defamation campaign against her. She has filed a Rs. 1 billion lawsuit against Khattak.

Moreover, Veena has claimed that Khattak shared photos of personal documents on Twitter. She also claimed that his false accusations are influencing her reputation.

Malik’s lawyer told sources that her ex-husband raised the issue of the children’s custody only because she had asked him to return Rs. 80 million that he took from her when the couple was together.

Veena, in her defamation suit, sought Rs. 500 million as loss of reputation or goodwill, Rs. 400 million as loss of business opportunities, Rs. 80 million as loss of contracts and Rs. 20 million for compensatory damages for mental torture from her former husband.



The Veena Malik and Asad Khattak feud has turned even sourer with now the children being kidnapped.

The Current Happenings

Currently, it has come to the attention of the media that Asad Khattak has landed in Lahore. Khattak being Veena Malik’s ex-husband resides in Dubai, and he has made this trip during this time because of his children. He has claimed that he is holding a press conference on an immediate basis to reveal the actress’s truth and uncover all the lies she has spewed.

But it gets worse! Veena Malik has allegedly kidnapped her own children from Dubai as they were living with their father. Due to this reason, Khattak is claiming he has come to Lahore only for his children.

What’s The Context?

veena malik kidnapped
Image Source: Pinkvilla

A call was recently ousted on social media between Veena Malik and her ex-husband, Asad Khattak. The call was proof of the actress verbally abusing her husband heavily while also threatening him. The threats were, moreover, levied at Khattak’s mother and sister too.

The call created an uproar on social media based on the abuse it entailed. The fact that there was a man this time on the receiving end should have no difference in the amount of support.

The Feud Goes Back

How can a marriage turn this sour? Veena Malik and Asad Khattak got married in Dubai in 2013. They have two children together, which Asad Khattak currently claims were illegally brought to Pakistan. Their divorce happened just 5 years later, in 2018.

Recently, when Khattak was questioned over why he decided to marry Malik, his response shocked many. He said he married her to bring her on the “right path” as a Muslim, given that she had tarred Pakistan’s image in her endeavors.

Two Sides of A Coin?

Image Source: Tribune

The two are currently engaged in a legal battle that is as ugly as legal battles come. Although the court had initially ruled in favor of Asad Khattak, allowing him to meet the children, Veena Malik kept them away from their father.

She also returned the PKR 500 million lawsuits to Khattak over the charges of defamation and blackmail. Now, she has illegally brought the children to Pakistan, for which Khattak is ready to fight.

Veena Malik’s side of the story, however, has not seen the light yet. It is suspected the actress will soon make a statement and that this feud is not ending soon or amicably.

Everybody should embrace their aging process- how can we fight against time? However, if you’re looking to age gracefully and in the most healthy manner, here are some foods you can eat. They make you look so refreshed that you can look younger!

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is regarded as one of the healthiest fats on earth. Research has shown that it can help prevent many diseases associated with old age. It lowers blood pressure, reduces the risk of heart disease, helps prevent metabolic syndrome, and may be effective in fighting cancer, all of which become common problems in old age.

Olive oil can also help your skin look younger. Reports have shown that it has strong anti-inflammatory effects on the skin and helps protect it from sun damage.

2. Dark Chocolate

We’ve all heard about how dark chocolate is the best chocolate (for the body). The antioxidant profile of dark chocolate is even more powerful than acai berries, blueberries, and cranberries. If you’re a skincare junkie, you will know that anti-oxidants are essential for your skin! Chocolate essentially contains antioxidants called flavanols, which protect the skin from sun damage.

Research has also suggested that it may reduce blood pressure, increase insulin sensitivity, and improve arterial function and elasticity brilliantly. How can you not love it?

3. Vegetables

Start eating your veggies because they are extremely nutrient-dense and deficient in calories. Vegetables also contain antioxidants that reduce the risk of heart disease, cataracts, and cancer in old age.

Many vegetables are also high in carotenoids like beta carotene, which protect against sun radiation and free radicals. Protection against these means your skin will have controlled wrinkles! Some of the best sources of beta carotene are carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes.

4. Green Tea

Green tea fights against free radicals because it contains anti-oxidants too. Free radicals are basically unstable molecules that form during metabolism and in response to stress.

Antioxidants change their structure, so they’re unable to cause damage, and green tea helps you do that. Green tea is also particularly high in antioxidants called polyphenols, which can fight diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and heart diseases.

 It is a brilliant thing to make a part of your routine, given that it clears your digestion too.

5. Pomegranates

Pomegranates are one of the healthiest fruits you can hope to have. Their antioxidant activity appears to be even higher than green tea (yay for fruit lovers!). Pomegranates decrease inflammation (which helps your skin), prevent damage from high blood sugar levels, and improve outcomes in patients with colon cancer.

Moreover, researchers have shown that different pomegranate parts may work together to repair damaged skin and increase collagen production. It’s a magic fruit for the skin.

People often make the mistake of keeping their passport, ticket, or boarding pass in their hand-carry, which becomes a hassle when you want to access them to show it to an official. Therefore, it is recommended to keep it in a fanny-pack/waist bag, so you don’t lose them and close to you.

4. Airbnb Instead Of Hotels:

To make the most out of your travel, you should be open to experience the essence of the city you are traveling to rather than opting for a luxury hotel. Airbnbs cost way too less and are great value for money if your hotel room is not an utmost priority for you.

A tourist only comes to his hotel to sleep or to keep his luggage. Therefore it doesn’t sound so smart if one spends a fortune on hotels.

5. First-aid Kit:

You must pack a pouch of the first-aid kit from your home country rather than being dependent on the host country for them. It is likely to get minor bruises and cuts while traveling, and for such minor scratches, one would be foolish to spend a fortune rather than just packing a few of the most-important medicines from your home country.

Here is a video that will help you decide what to pack;

nadia khan

Nadia Khan has been that change in our society that we badly need. What quality of hers has made her so that she lives the life her way, the life that is non-toxic, and if it becomes toxic, she doesn’t let others dictate her.

Nadia Khan Rocking at her life

A case in point is the end of her first marriage. It was an abusive marriage, and knowing that divorces somehow make the woman be the antagonist, she didn’t care about that because she knew what, in the long term, is better for her.

Moreover, after divorce, she did not let it stop her life and continued doing fantastic work. She acted in a drama as well, which was meant to show that women do suffer more if they decide to stand up for themselves.

Defying stereotypes once again, she adopted a child as well. And then, she decided to further increase her family by getting into another marriage. At the very beginning of the year, she got married, and the family looks absolutely lovely.

On 10th January 2021, the new couple celebrated their valima. The exclusive pictures are out and let me tell you, Nadia Khan looks absolutely lovely in them.

The pink dress suits Nadia Khan, but oh well, Nadia is one of those stars who can carry any dress elegantly and make it look fascinating. And given that she has made happiness for herself, the joy has brought a glow to her face, which makes her ‘valima look’ even more graceful.

Moreover, the actress went for a non-mainstream look for her valima. Instead of the usual dupatta on the head, she owned her style, and that is what makes her truly, outsylewithNadia.

Chinese Automaker Changan had been teasing its subcompact sedan for a while now. Many rumors and speculations were being floated on the internet regarding the car, which was anticipated a lot by Pakistani car consumers and enthusiasts. It would not be wrong to say that Changan’s Alsvin is one of the most anticipated cars of 2021 for the automotive industry of Pakistan.

So, What Do We Know So Far?

Changan released a 40-second video on their social media in which they shared most of the details regarding the newly released car, its specifications, and its variants.

https://www.facebook.com/gyazdani1/posts/10160534587179409

As per the details revealed on the official launch, the car would be available in three variants;

  • 1.37L Base model with 5 speed Manual transmission @ PKR 2,199,000/-
  • 1.5L LUMIERE with 5 speed Dual Clutch Transmission @ PKR 2,549,000/-
  • 1.5L COMFORT with 5 speed Dual Clutch Transmission @ PKR 2,399,000/-

The pricing is Ex-Dealership, and booking is starting from 14th January 2021 onwards. The customers would be able to book the car after paying an advance of Rs. 750,000/-

Changan’s Alsvin comes with a warranty of 3 years/ 100,000 KM, whichever is availed first.

The car would be available in Steller White, Lunar Silver, Galaxy Black, Cosmic Red, Nebula Blue, and Space Gray colors, which are very popular amongst Pakistan’s car owners.

A Great Addition To The Pakistani Market:

Experts have hailed Changan’s presence in the Pakistani market and consider it a positive addition. The industry was long dominated by a few companies that were hesitating innovation. However, Changan’s presence would increase competition among the competitors and force them to manufacture high-quality cars, which would contribute to our country’s overall industry while giving more choices to the customers.

Changan Pakistan has built its production facility in the largest city of the country, Pakistan. The company spent a whopping $100 Million on setting up the infrastructure, which has the capacity to manufacture up to 30,000 automobiles, making it Changan’s first facility to manufacture right-hand driving automobile facility globally. Changan’s newly launched Aslvins are expected to be manufactured in the same facility.

This comes as no surprise as in the past few years, numerous investors have made investments into the automotive sector of Pakistan, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors of our country. The Government Of Pakistan is expected to announce the New Auto Policy, which is expected to focus mainly on bringing the Pakistani car prices to an affordable level to purchase cars for themselves.

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik was reportedly involved in a car accident on Sunday, January 10th, 2021. He was in his sports car, leaving Lahore’s National High-Performance Centre (NHPC) at the end of the PSL draft. The extent of the accident was quite harsh, considering the images of the car that have rolled in. However, the former captain has informed Twitterati that he is indeed all right.

Shoaib Malik Car Accident

According to the images, the car took the most damage on the front as it hit a truck. This happened at the restaurant near NHPC. According to a local newspaper reporter who got in touch with eyewitnesses, the cricketer was reported exiting NHPC at a fast speed that he was unable to regulate. The car skidded on the road and then hit the truck.

He and Wahab Riaz had left together; they were reportedly in great spirits but clearly were inexperienced when it came to driving a sports car.

The Cricketer’s Statement 

People were worried about their favorite cricketer. And so Malik informed his fans through a tweet that he was completely fine:

“It was just a happenstance accident, and Almighty has been extremely Benevolent,” Shoaib Malik wrote on Twitter a couple of hours after the crash that had fans worrying for the cricket star. Thank you to each one of you who’ve reached out. I am deeply grateful for all the love and care.”

It was also said that Malik requested a bystander not to make a video right after the incident when Malik was still in the car.

Personal Note: Seriously? You people had the guts to stand around and were thinking of making videos when you just witnessed a horrible car accident. Where exactly is empathy? It is just sad that a man who, for whatever reason, was in an accident had to make such a request.

What Do The Officials Say About The Blackout?

“A countrywide blackout has been caused by a sudden plunge in the frequency in the power transmission system,” Omar Ayub Khan, The Power minister of Pakistan wrote on Twitter.

Major cities of Pakistan including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar and Quetta were among those who were effected.

He also told the public that investigation was underway to find out the cause behind the disruption if electric supply.

And as expected, Twitter had memes

Soon after the blackout, the entire Pakistani internet was infiltrated with memes related to #blackout.

Although it is not new for Pakistanis to face power disruptions and load-shedding, but it was unusual for them to face it nationwide at the same time, and that is something that has rarely happened.

The restoration process of electricity:

According to news, the government and private electric institutions and companies have been working all night to restore the power of the country and as per updates, it has started to restore slowly and gradually all across the country.

Minister of IT & Technology, Fawad Chaudhary claimed that the Power Minister, Mr. Omar Ayub Khan and his team stayed up all night and was coordinating with teams all across the country to restore the power breakdown all across the country.

Even-though many areas all across the country are still yet to get their power back on, the government has announced and has told the citizens to remain calm as all the stake-holders and people responsible for the power infrastructure are working to restore the power back in the country.

Pakistan was not alone in the blackout though

Soon after Pakistan plunged back into darkness, another place which holds a significant place lost its power. The place was Vatican City, in Rome, Italy which holds a very important place for the Christians all around the world.

Even-though both events were unrelated but it was trending alongside the electricity breakdown in Pakistan on the news.

Let’s hope the world that has been effected by the pandemic goes back to normal soon.
