It is the month of Ramadan and if there are no pakoras on the iftar table, the world starts seeming colorless. And imagine, that you find them on iftar but they are not crispy are they even the real pakoras? So today, we will tell you how to make your pakoras crispy and you will thank us for it.

Tip # 1

When you make the batter for the pakora, you usually make it with cold water or room temperature with besan. This time, try adding rice flour to the batter. This will ensure you get crispy pakoras because rice flour would enable them to not soak a lot of oil.

Tip # 2

This one is a technical tip instead of an ingredient-focused one. According to this, get a karhai which has a heavy bottom. The reasoning behind it is that it will allow for an adequate frying temperature. Another alternative is an air fryer.

Tip # 3

Go for oils that have high smoke points. This the best tip for anything that needs to be deep-fried. So for instance, choose vegetable oil or peanut oil and stay away from olive oil

Tip # 4

More importantly, if you are making vegetable pakora, remember to be careful about water as vegetable tends to give out water. The runnier the pakora, the worse it will be in terms of shape and size.

Tip # 5

Always fry pakoras on medium flame. But do make sure that the oil is adequately hot so that when you put the pakora in the oil, it comes right back up but in the same color. If it comes up brown, then the oil is too hot and it will remain uncooked and soggy from the inside.

Tip # 6

The best tip of all is that you should not whisk the batter with a spoon. Do it with a whisk. The batter will be light and airy as a result. Also, use it up within an hour.

Do let us know if you implement these tips and you get pakoras crispy and perfect!

5 Craziest Runway Locations You Will Fail To Believe
Image source: https://www.timeout.com/

Fashion has always found a great medium to Chanel itself. From campaigns to advertisements and fashion shows, fashion is always extra and over the top. When it comes to fashion, the bigger, the better, and this mantra is limited to apparel and fashion magazines, editorials, and fashion shows. Those days are gone when we just needed a piece on a model on the runway to showcase the art and the artist. Now, a lot of effort goes in, be it photography, makeup, production design, or fashion shows.

Every year, we get to observe the holy round of fashion shows. From models donning to designer wear and stunning locations like Milan and Paris, fashion breathes air in our lives every year. And when it comes to fashion shows, how can we not think about the extravagant location where the craziest runway shows are held. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then keep reading because your mind is about to blow off.

1. Chanel, Autumn/Winter 2017, Ready-To-Wear

No one does fashion shows like Chanel. The French designer brand is known for holding one of the most extravagant fashion shows in the most unbelievable locations. Chanel’s Autumn/Winter 2017 was quite literally out of this world. The show took place in the iconic Grand Palais. Chanel created their very own makeshift space station, with a life-sized Chanel rocket ship stationed right in the middle of the runway.

The collection was inspired by outer space and featured lots of metallic boots, spacesuit printed dresses, space shawls, and galactic prints. And to top of the finale, the rocket was not just a prop actually blasted off (not quite into space) but 10-meters into the air, with lots of smoke and Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man’ blaring in the background.

2.Chanel, Autumn/Winter 2014 Ready-To-Wear

Since the pandemic hit mother earth in 2019, we can only think about dressing up to the grocery store. Well, as much as it sounds bizarre, Chanel actually normalized dressing up for grocery shopping back in 2014. For its 2014 fashion show, Chanel created an entire grocery store replica, which included more than 100,000 items. The labels of at least 500 everyday products had been repackaged and labeled.

Now is your chance to dress up for your next grocery run if you haven’t already.

3. Pierre Cardin’s Palais Bulle

Fashion designer Pierre Cardin’s Palais Bulles (Bubble Palace) was a location for Dior’s Cruise 2016 collection. The exotic location, which is located between Cannes and Monaco, is one of the dreamiest locations for a fashion show to date. From bright colors to pastel hues, the outfits matched perfectly with the clean aesthetic of the palace.

4. Gucci, Westminster Abbey

The glorious presentation was not only charming but also a cultural reset. Gucci’s 2017 cruise collection was a mixture of cool punk aesthetics with a blend of historical views. The wide variety of patterns including plaid, leopard, florals to solid colors, and bold accessories. Everything was a mixture that blended perfectly with the church’s aesthetic.

5. A Provence Lavender Field

Jacquemus fashion house celebrated its 10th anniversary in the midst of a lavender field. The French designer chose the field of his native province, revisiting tradition, which included everything nature and beauty. The fuchsia pink carpet snaking a furrow between the purple rows, providing the perfect frame to showcase his creations. This has to be one of the most beautiful fashion show runways to date.

This Matchmaking Site For Married Men Has Sparked An Online Debate

Image Source: Dailymail.co.uk

An initiative by the company SecondWife.com is going viral for the matchmaking service it provides. Apparently, the matchmaking site for married men allows them to seek a second, third or fourth wife if they seek polygamy. They have been covered by numerous publications in the past but recently they gained more virality when a post about them started circulating on social media. People were undecided about how to perceive it.

Secondwife.com- matchmaking site for married men

Have a look at the introductory video by the founder of the company, Azad Chaiwala.

https://www.facebook.com/SecondWife/videos/453637701462708

People began reacting to this. Some appreciated this initiative genuinely while some endorsed it just because they got excited about the idea of second marriage. The idea of a second marriage has become a sort of a trigger for women nowadays, and men like to joke about it intentionally to further anger them. This was all visible in the online debate happening on Facebook.

Netizens react to the idea

The multiple parties that emerged had various stances. One of the stances was that this was Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) sunnah.

“In our society, second marriages are considered a crime. Even first marriage has become an extremely difficult ritual. There is wisdom in prophet’s every sunnat as you can see second marriage is to support widows and divorcees. This is a hypocrite society where having illegitimate affair is a norm and second marriage is unthinkable.”

Image Source: Facebook

Others brought in the point of view that even though this Islamic ruling was to accommodate divorcees and widows, men ignore that clause. There were others who targeted the owners of this matchmaking site inquiring that did they “Also develop an app which helps in finding jobs for the unemployed, or an app that helps in identifying stalkers, malingerers, and fraudulent online accounts. No?”

Image Source: Facebook

Long story short, every kind of opinion was present on the internet. And the debate saw no end.

For everything, you will find appreciation as well as criticism so it was only natural, this debate to ensue on social media. And considering the topic was a matchmaking site for married men, it was bound to get eyeballs.

This Prank To Test Muslims By ‘Bribing’ Them Is Going Viral

muslim prank
Image Source: Brandsynario

A Muslim man was presented with the most difficult situation epitomizing the struggle between deen and dunya. Did he fail or did he pass, you’ll have to find out!

iPhone Pro Max Over Everything?

In a prank or rather an experiment by a Youtuber, a Muslim man’s faith was heavily tested. The video shows a woman roaming around with an iPhone 12 Pro Max in her hand. She sees a brown guy walking towards her and stops him, asks him whether he is a Muslim. When he responds in the affirmative, she lays out her deal to him.

Drink a little water and take the iPhone free for home. 

The Guy’s Response

The guy, it seems, as a steadfast Muslim whose response to the prank was inspiring yet also hilarious. The first question he asks the lady is, “Are you crazy?” It appears the guy was experiencing incredulity at the blatant disregard white people can have for others.

He even says, “You can not ask if someone is fasting and then ask them to break it.” This response is inspiring because it shows no matter how much a material thing must be desired, it is not greater than your faith. Moreover, if someone underestimates your faith this way, you do not have to be silent. Be vocal but respectfully!

It Gets Better…

However, this prank video gets even better. The YouTuber had planted a helper in the surrounding who also joins in. He is a man dressed in Arabic clothing who also says he is a Muslim. But, unlike the steadfast guy, this one is all ready and excited to break his fast for the phone.

https://www.facebook.com/woundedsoul19/videos/923301285148709

As if in an action-packed movie full of suspense, the first guy takes the water bottle and throws it on the floor! He keeps repeating “this is Haraam brother, I know you are a good Muslim”.

What Happens If One Breaks Fast?

Breaking a fast is not a small feat. If for any reason someone has to break a fast, they must do the “kafarah”. There are various guidelines set for doing a Kafarah which range from either feeding a certain number of people for the number of fasts broken or keeping a fast for a certain number of days.

This prank was harmless but it taught us a lot. A fast is a connection you have with God, nothing material should sever it.

Ayeza Khan Has An Exciting News For All Her Female Fans

Chupke Chupke is one of the most streamed and watched dramas on HUM TV currently since it began on 1st Ramadan. Have you also been obsessing over Ayeza Khan’s, a leading character in the drama, clothes? If yes, there is brilliant news in store for you.

Get Ayeza Khan’s Wardrobe

Ayeza Khan’s character in the drama is called Meenu. She inhabits an over-the-top, bubbly personality in the show and her clothes only reflect that. Her character is also loved a lot because of how confident and afraid-to-be-herself it is! Plus, who can overlook that romance with Osman Khalid Butt— opposites do attract indeed.

Think of short tunics with bright, printed shalwars or white kurtas with jeans or long bright kurtas! All of these outfit choices have spellbound people and they are obsessed with them. Moreover, being a fan of any celebrity, of course, you want their wardrobe. 

Hence, when a fan tweeted on Twitter to Ayeza Khan sharing her love for Meenu’s clothes, all the stars aligned.

Ayeza Khan Is Giving Back (A lot!)

Khan responded to that question with her characteristic gentle and loving style. She told her fans that she will soon be selling all her “Kurtis” her character wore. Most celebrities often do that after their show where they sell their wardrobe for the drama/show/movie.

This is often a PR gimmick because it not only raises publicity of the show itself by bringing all its fans together but also raises the status of the celebrity doing so. This is going to create an uproar on social media when Meenu’s clothes are going to find new forever homes. Are you going to be rushing to this sale when it goes live?

Chupke Chupke Drama Serial

Every Ramadan, HUM TV invests heavily in a drama that can keep their patrons hooked for Ramadan. After a long day of fasting and opening with delicious delicacies, you just need a good drama to binge-watch on.

Chupke Chupke is directed by Danish Nawaz and written by Saima Akram Chaudhry (also the writer of Suno Chanda). This drama has been filming for over a year now which is why people were more than excited about it. It is also being received well because it is not based on the usual tropes of a saas-bahu drama: it features a complexly linked family.

Its genre is mainly comedy while it explores many previously established stereotypes.

4G-Enabled Smart Feature Phones | Digital Inclusion 101

Pakistan ranked 90th on the Inclusive Internet Index 2021 report released by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), dropping further down from its position at 76th last year and stressing the need for policymakers and industry players to view the situation as no less than a digital emergency.

In the past year, Covid-19 and the ensuing need for social distancing became an unlikely catalyst for increased digitization around the globe. Pakistan has been no different as businesses, from large-scale industries to a new wave of entrepreneurial micro-businesses, continue to explore the ways with which they can operate their operations successfully and survive these unprecedented times.

When it comes to providing affordable digital tools to the masses, the telecom sector and the government’s support in terms of alleviating the tax burden on data services play a crucial role in helping to materialize the dream of a #DigitalPakistan.

Seeing as there is a lack of affordability when it comes to smartphones, the recent widespread availability of Jazz Digit 4G smart feature phones points towards a step in the right direction regarding the efforts being made for digital inclusion in Pakistan. Starting from PKR 4,099 only, these smart feature phones are among the most affordable internet-enabled handsets in Pakistan.

Running on a light operating system called KaiOS, these phones allow users to access popular apps such as WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, Jazz TV and Google Assistant. The KaiStore allows users to access an expanding selection of apps and other unique local content. Equipped with a Jazz connection, it also offers unique features including some of the most attractive tariff rates for voice and data in the industry. Furthermore, these handsets can power over 400 mobile apps with unique characteristics.

Handsets like these offer much-needed affordability to the masses to get acquainted with the digital world and unlock socio-economic opportunities through mobile broadband. Pakistan’s poor ranking is due to multiple reasons, such as large gender gaps in the index, in both mobile and internet access, with only 10% of women in Pakistan having access to smartphones. There also exist low levels of digital literacy and compared to better scoring countries, the availability of a dependable cellular infrastructure is still relatively poor.

However, recent developments such as the extension of 4G services to South Waziristan and the introduction of affordable smart feature phones powered by 4G, suggest that we are heading in the right direction in creating a prosperous and Digitally Inclusive Pakistan

Image Source: theverge.com

There may not be a lot of people who fail to recognize an Audi vehicle when they see one. Those four rings at the front can be seen from a distance or up close to both. Despite the numerous brands of today, Audi stands as a unique one among them. It has robust vehicles, powered by the most spectacular engines and motors. Where there is Audi, there is also their E-Tron series.

Like many brands of today, e-Tron is the sub-brand under which Audi manufactures and releases its fully electric vehicles. Even if you’re a fan of Audi combustion engine cars, you may still be quite surprised when you see an electric being driven around. Now, the Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) has just revealed a new vehicle to the world, with astonishing features and quite a lot to offer. This is going by the name of Audi E-Tron A6. Yes, it is one of the A series vehicles, but without an engine in them.

Audi and the new A6 electric sedan

Audi A6

We are not talking about the petrol-driven one here, rather the electric one. It is a sedan that has a slightly compact but stretched-out shape. It fits the sedan category quite well and looks dashing from the pictures that are circulating the internet. We must note one thing here and that is that the vehicle is luxurious.

It actually comes under the luxury executive tag and it deserves to be there, considering what it offers. Talking about underneath the hood, the vehicle packs a 100 kWh battery pack. This has the potential to give the vehicle about 700 kilometres on a single charge. That seems like quite an impressive number and one which can give Tesla hard competition.

Many other vehicle brands are entering the electric era and Audi wants to be one of them. Just recently, we came to know about the development of electric cars in Toyota’s factories. Now, we are hearing that brands like Mercedes and Jaguar are also joining the race, one at a time. The world is moving towards an electric era and no one wants to be left behind when the bubble does pop.

Hoping for a future

There are a lot of new features in the Audi A6 e-Tron and all of them deserve to be there. The car is an executive luxurious sedan and contains everything that makes it executive. Additionally, it has a digital projector-based front headlight. Both of them can display various pictures on a garage door or a wall, for entertainment. Apart from that, drivers can also use those projectors to play games, made by Audi, on the same garage door.

We are aware that Audi is rising and now we know the pace of it too. They are coming up quite fast. Pretty soon, we may come face to face with Audi vehicles with a lot of technology embedded within them. The A6 e-Tron also uses the latest advancements in technology and it is expected of the vehicle.

HEC Grand Challenge Fund 2021 Applications Are Opening Soon

HEC comes up with research fund challenge
Image Source: jobs.theguardian.com

If we want the country to develop, we have to make sure that education is not being neglected. There is quite a lot that a person can miss out on if they don’t have an education. When it comes to the government, expensive education is not even an issue. Some schools are willing to teach for free, considering there is a spirit in the student, to learn. In light of that, the HEC has come up with a new challenge.

Grand challenge fund 2021

This challenge is based around the faculty members of private and public institutions and holds quite a lot of potential. Despite there being a lot of education lacking in the country, this is a great opportunity. The higher education commission (HEC) has recently come up with a grand challenge fund for 2021. Under this challenge, the faculty members are to submit research proposals. So what is that all about?

HEC fund for faculty research
Image Source: phoneworld.com.pk

HEC Challenge Fund:

The GCF supports a lot of large and multidimensional research projects. Those projects that are multidimensional are usually quite huge in scope. This is so other research teams can collaborate with them. This can be a good way to get a grand for the university or institution. The GCF also supports research development in quite a lot of strategic sectors. This includes human capital, agriculture, urban planning, climate change and environment and many more.

Allowing faculty members to submit proposals will also give them the chance to polish their research skills. The sectors also include technology and telecom and we know how fast those fields are moving. It would not be too far from the truth if one were to research 6G technologies. The world is changing rapidly and we need minds that are willing to put in the hard work. It takes quite a lot of effort to do research and then come up with a proposal of your own.

HEC and fund for reasearch
Image Source: insidehighered.com

Setting funds aside:

The HEC has decided to set funds aside for this very reason. If anyone’s research proposal were to make it across to the second phase, a lot is waiting for them. There is going to be a competitive, peer-reviewed evaluation of the proposals so we know they will be in competent hands.

There will be no suspicious activities taking place and we hope the results will be clean. HEC has made a statement to provide funds ranging between Rs.15 million and Rs.225 million. These shall be provided to the selected institutes that make it across the proposal evaluation.

We hope that this encourages a lot of universities to participate in it. After all, it is not all year round that people get opportunities like these. This can be a good way to further the development of education in Pakistan by allowing newer research sectors. The more we move forward, the better it can be for the coming generation. They may not have to go through the hardship of working on something from absolute scratch.

Drought In India: 330 Million People Suffering

DROUGHT-IN-INDIA

About 330 million people are suffering from drought in India, the government has said, as the country reels from severe water shortages and desperately poor farmers suffer crop losses.

One of the government’s most senior lawyers PS Narasimha told the Supreme Court that a quarter of the country’s population, spread across 10 states, have been hit by drought after two consecutive years of weak monsoons.

Drought in India
The drought is taking place as a heat wave extends across much of India with temperatures exceeding 40C for several days in a row

Narasimha said the government had released funds to affected regions where a crippling shortage of rainfall has forced the rationing of drinking water to some communities.

As summer hits India, reports of families and farmers in remote villages walking long distances to find water after their wells dried up have dominated local media.

Drought in India

Narasimha gave the figures on Tuesday, after an NGO filed a petition asking the top court to order Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to step up relief to the hardest-hit areas.

The figures come as high temperatures hit parts of eastern, central and southern India in recent weeks, with scores of deaths reported from heatstroke.

Hundreds of mainly poor people die at the height of summer annually in India, but temperatures have risen earlier than normal, increasing concerns about this year’s overall toll.

Another water train carrying 2.5 million litres of water is scheduled to reach Latur in Maharashtra on Wednesday

 

“We had never recorded such high temperatures in these months in more than 100 years,” special relief commissioner in Orissa state P.K. Mohapatra told AFP.

India’s meteorological department on Wednesday issued a heatwave warning for Orissa and two other states, with temperatures forecast to top 45 degrees (113 degrees Fahrenheit) in the coming days.

All schools in Orissa are closed until next week because of the heat, while protests have been held further north in a West Bengal city over water shortages.

“Several hundred residents of the city of Howrah on Monday blocked an arterial road to protest inadequate supply of water,” said Baren Das, an official from Howrah’s municipal corporation.

Politicians have come under fire for water wastage as they travel to drought-affected regions, with footage on Tuesday of water tankers in Karnataka state spraying a dusty road ahead of the chief minister’s arrival, sparking outrage.

A court this month ordered the Indian Premier League to move some cricket matches from drought-hit western Maharashtra state over concerns that water would be wasted in maintaining the grounds.

Officials have forecast an above-average monsoon this year, offering hope for struggling farmers who rely heavily on the annual rains. India’s agriculture sector employs about 60 percent of the population.

5 Refreshing Drinks That Become Popular During Ramadan

When you have to refrain from food and drink throughout the day, the importance of food becomes all the more important. But drinks are what you try to hoard the most during sehri and splurge on during iftar. And there are a few refreshing drinks that become extremely popular during Ramadan. We are listing them here.

Have a look:

1. Rooh Afza

Rooh Afza, the famous red drink, comes out of the corners in the supermarkets this month, does it not? The refreshingly cool, sweet drink can spark a lot of sibling rivalry on the iftar table if it’s distributed in not an equal way.

2. Tang

I can’t really say that this has a tangy taste now that it comes in different flavors, but it still stays in the top 5 drinks that we prefer in the holy month. And, of course, the original taste is great, but the mango flavor is something out of this world.

3. Lemonade

One of the most refreshing drinks is lemonade. Given that the temperature of Karachi gets really hot at the end of spring and summers begin with a heatwave, the thought of lemonade at iftar brings relief.

4. Lassi

The sehri drink lassi has many benefits attached to it. First of all, for those who like to sleep off most of their Roza, lassi helps in that. Moreover, since it is made with yoghurt, it helps with thirst throughout the day.

5. Squash 

Squash is yet another drink that brings happiness to the people fasting. Considering the other drinks are very diluted, the texture of Squash makes it stand out amongst all five.

Chai

But of course, the most important of all is chai. It remains popular all year round, but rozedaars are reminded of its utmost importance through the duration of the fast. So much so that they religiously consume chai in sehri and then, right after iftaar.

These were the refreshing drinks that we believe deserve to go on this list. In fact, we think you would all unanimously agree with this list. But if you are an exception which is highly unlikely, we would like to hear your opinion.

5 Sehri Meals We Should Be Eating But Don’t

5 Meals We Should Be Eating In Sehri But Don't

While fasting, what we eat matters the most. As we only can eat twice a day. It becomes essential to stay mindful of our eating habits in Ramadan. In Ramadan, we need extra nutrients to stay active throughout the day. The food we choose to take in Sahoor can have many positive and negative effects on our body since it becomes challenging to eat early in the morning. Today, we share some meals that can be light on your stomach but will provide you a dose of energy to keep going through the day.

1. Oatmeal

This power-packed protein meal can be created with a lot of variation. Gather your favorite fruits and nuts or a scoop full of chia seeds. An oatmeal bowl is not only easy to make. It will keep you full while not sitting on your stomach throughout the day.

2. Dates 

The huge number of benefits is something which we all know about. Then why do we limit dates to Iftar? Dates are rich in copper, selenium, and magnesium, as well as glucose. They provide you energy to keep going without making you feel lousy. In Ramadan, that lack of fiber in our food gut leads us to face many GI problems. Having dates regularly not only keeps your gut health but also maintains your blood glucose levels. If you are a smoothie lover, grab some fruits and blend a glass full of power-packed ingredients.

3. Fruits 

Fruits rich in fiber and water content can be your best bet in Sahoor. The amount of water loss and dehydration due to less water intake can easily make you feel drowsy and lethargic. Adding fruits to your Sahoor meal is bound to keep you hydrated throughout the day.

4. Salads

Salads are a source of energy and nutrients and can keep you feeling energized throughout the day. The combination of beans, chickpea, and vegetables is bound to keep your gut healthy while providing you all the fibers. However, if salad sounds too plain to you, then add some chicken and just the right amount of sauce to get a tantalizing taste.

5. Greek Yogurt 

While no Sehri is complete without yogurt, replacing your regular yogurt with Greek yogurt can be the best decision you could make. Greek yogurt has a wide range of benefits. It can aid in weight loss. Greek yogurt can boost your immunity while keeping your digestive system in check. It is an amazing alternative for someone who is looking for yogurt less in carbs and sugar.

Mansha Pasha casually wished people “Ramadan Mubarak” while adorning a Rs.93,000 dress and people are feeling a variety of emotions!

A Stylish and Expensive “Ramadan Mubarak”

Mansha Pasha is one of the most famous actresses in the Pakistani entertainment industry at the moment. She has also amassed more fans after her wedding with politician Jibran Nasir because of her minimalistic wedding style.

Call it the honeymoon glow or the festive spirit of Ramadan but Mansha Pasha wished her fans “Ramadan Mubarak” looking glorious. She adorned a traditional suit with contrasting colours and heavy embroidery. Naturally, people loved it! 

Here’s the dress:

Would you believe this costs almost 1 lakh? Indeed, it is priced at Rs. 93,000 and is by Souchaj.

The Designer Label?

The price was exposed when it seems one fan inquired the brand about the clothes. It was reported on Twitter that it is for this price and the tweet blew up:

Souchaj is a well-known designer label known for their heirloom-worthy clothes, the traditional style with heavy work. They even chose Mira Sethi for one of their campaigns alongside their mother— obviously, the label plays for the big leagues.

However, people are confused as to what exactly justifies this price for this outfit. Yes, it has embroidery on the heavier side and maybe a bit of chiffon but almost a lakh?

Netizens Reactions

The netizens were also struck by the price. Their reactions are note-worthy:


Unhealthy Influencing?

Celebrities earn in a different wavelength altogether. Naturally, they also dress accordingly because they can afford to buy those things. However, it must also be noted that when celebrities showcase or promote such outfits so casually, it builds an unhealthy narrative.

A post shared by LAAM (@laamofficial)

When people see an influx of such expensive outfits, they start coveting them more than anything. Becoming deluded to the extent that they justify the expenditure of a lakh on clothes one will only wear a few times! Kanye West said, “if you can’t buy something twice, you can not afford it” which gives us food for thought.

Mansha Pasha’s Best Style Moments

Mansha Pasha knows her style! Her bridal outfit was a minimal yet outstanding white outfit with which she kept her hair and makeup minimal.

This black power suit is also worth coveting: it is indeed a power statement.

Abdullah Sultan Takes A Dig At Aamir Liaquat’s Infamous Naagin Dance

Aamir Liaquat’s moments of trolling are not over yet. Abdullah Sultan, a renowned host, has taken a dig at him and people are amused.

Nagin Dance Diaries

Aamir Liaquat’s Ramadan transmission is gaining attention for all the wrong reasons lately. Labelling himself as an alim, having a show based on Ramadan’s spirit while doing what he does is raising questions. Beginning with participating in unnecessary gimmicks with na-mehram women or doing dances later, does he know no limits?

Yes, you heard us right! Aamir Liaquat actually did a “Nagin Dance” on his show. The dance is famous as it is for being a part of Bollywood films etc. but for Liaquat to bring it to his “Ramadan transmission” is questionable. 

The Dance Caught

Abdullah Sultan Takes A Dig

Sultan is a news anchor for Geo Pakistan. Like many others, he too appears to be uncomfortable with Liaquat’s activities on a Ramadan transmission. When Aamir Liaquat asked for “questions” that people want to ask “ulema”, he did not know what would come his way.

 Sultan saw an opportunity and he grasped it! He asked, ironically and humorously whether “ulema” would like to comment on “Nagin dances” being done on Ramadan shows.

Netizens Support Sultan

Abdullah Sultan’s tweet directed towards Liaquat’s contested activities has received support. Many are taking it in the same spirit and responding with hilarious, ironic replies. Some of the best ones are:

Aamir Liaquat Memes

Aamir Liaquat has taken a lot of spots in the “meme calendars” in Pakistan. One could say he is a favoruite figure for memers in Pakistan, there is always something he is up to that deserves to be meme-ified.

This Nagin dance was all people needed to go crazy on Twitter:

 Is This To Be Taken Lightly?

Aamir Liaquat’s activities are becoming more absurd by the way. First, it was a race with a guest host in which he becomes overwhelmed and experiences a fall. Moreover, there was this strange Nagin dance the host indulges in. As one can see, he is lying on the floor and doing the dance.

These actions of his are not as lighthearted as they may seem. Firstly, Aamir Liaquat calls himself a religious scholar. For him to be doing such activities, smears the names of the others who are genuinely serious about their passion. Moreover, for him to be doing these things on a Ramadan transmission ridicules the spirit and mention the sanctity of Ramadan.

Pakistanis Break The Ice With The #SayItWithCornetto Campaign & We Just Can’t Stop Loving It!

The internet loves to talk about things making buzz around the country and right now it’s all about Cornetto Disc Brownie and it’s super fun #SayItWithCornetto campaign that has everyone revealing how they ended up breaking that ice with their significant others and those they secretly admired but were too afraid to say it all too! 

Losing themselves in the sweet memories of love and laughter, we saw many Pakistanis reminiscing about what that first breaking the ice moment meant for them. Cornetto’s TVC also tugged at heartstrings, featuring Bilal Abbas Khan and vocals of Asim Azhar, the ad reminded many of their own selves!

It all started with the love for Nazia Hassan of course, as the first thing so many people noticed was that Asim Azhar did pure justice to the brilliance of the late singer with his rendition of Aankhen Milane Walay for the TVC. People couldn’t stop hearing it on repeat, and for many it reminded them of that love at first sight and the moments of pure joy they felt when they got those butterflies in their stomach for someone.

That, of course, had to get crazier as expected!

We soon saw many on the internet getting obsessed with just how Bilal Abbas Khan captures their own moment of falling in love with someone and breaking that ice as well. From talking about his innocence to the way he presents that sumptuous Cornetto Disc Brownie to his possible connection, it was all that people needed to bring forth their own stories of how they did and would break the ice. 

We saw many taking this hint and finally getting to #SayItWithCornetto over social media. Be it names like Tik Tok’s own Kanwal Afab and Zulqarnain or Shanza Murtaza and Fizzah Rajput, there were so many popular names of the internet who showed us how they would break the ice just like Bilal Abbas Khan, with that deliciously rich Cornetto Disc Brownie in their hands!

But, while for some it was about how they would do it, others told the world how they actually did it! 

It all started with Facebook, where many groups like Parenting 360 amongst others took notice of how people are telling their stories of breaking that ice with their special someone and started telling their tales as well. There were beautiful moments shared over a Cornetto and even some about finding true love with that first bite, which was of course, enough to melt anyone’s heart — including celebs!

All it took were those moments of warmth and love shared by others for the celebs to also take note of, and soon we had a plethora of super popular entertainment industry pairs talking about that special moment of breaking the ice between them! We saw Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt post about how their first bite of ice cream together paved the way to their happily ever after, as well as Sarwat Gilani and Fahad Mirza revealing how their first ice-break was also over a Cornetto! 

With such fuzzy moments taking over the internet all over the country, it just had us ‘aww-ing’ at our screens throughout the day! Now, all we need to do is think about how we would #SayItWithCornetto!
