These brands are not only highly affordable but efficient too. They are definitely worth an investment, if going for the budget range.

5 Things That Prove You’re A TRUE Foodie

5 Healthy & Yummy Alternatives To French Fries

Food is an art, and a foodie is an artist. One cannot just up and say, ‘they are foodies.’ It can only happen after a proper diagnosis. And we are here to do just that. Here are a few things, or more like a checklist, to see if you are a true foodie or not. If you don’t check on even one of these, well, my friend, I am sorry, but this just isn’t you.

1. Always Hungry

You had Biryani, and you are hungry at 1:30 pm. You had Biryani at 1 pm. This should be reasonably explanatory of how hungry you are all the time. And it is just in your mind, of course. Your stomach has not yet processed the food, but your mind is already telling you that you are hungry. There is no winning against the mind, I tell you.

2. You Think About It Always

Even when you are not hungry, which will be half an hour from when you last had food, you are thinking about it. You think about so much that in the morning, you keep thinking about the menu for dinner. And yet, when you get to order it, it will still take you some time to finally get to a decision. But it is always fun to do that, thinking about what you can eat.

3. You keep watching and re-watching Food videos

Watching and re-watching food videos and never getting tired of it is another indication that you are a foodie. In fact, at times, even you know that you will not be trying it at home. Yet you will still watch the whole preparation of the recipe and the execution of it. And so Masterchef was possibly the perfect video watching activity for all foodies out there.

4. Your social media feed is full of food

You may not realize it, but your social media feed is full of food images or videos. The algorithm picks on it, you know. When it sees your interest, it shows you what you want to see. So go through your Insta and Facebook feed. If it is full of food, you are a foodie.

5. Where does your salary go? Food

You are always complaining about a low salary because you think you are unable to buy anything. But in reality, you are spending around 80% of it on pay; fancy food, junk food, roadside food, etc. How will you ever have enough money for other utilities?

And all this will seem that there is nothing wrong with it. This is the sixth and most important part. If you agree with this as well, you are a true, certified foodie, my friend.

5 Used Cars That Are Reliable and Cost Under 10 Lac Rupees

Car is one of the essential ways of commuting in Pakistan. As a country that does not have a stable public transport system and has megacities that require you to travel long distances daily, it is imperative to have your own car.

What can be bought under 10 Lac rupees?

There is a misconception that all reliable cars cost a fortune and cannot be budget-friendly. Considering the vehicle’s driver has to commute on a daily basis, it has to be reliable too and not have too many maintenance costs as it could take a hit on your budget.

The cars that are well-reputed as being reliable and cost under 10 lac rupees are listed below.

Suzuki Alto VXR

One of the widely driven car in the streets of Pakistan, Alto VXR’s model 2004-2010 are likely to cost under ten lac rupees. The car saves a fortune on fuel consumption and has extremely low maintenance costs.

Some users claim the fuel average of this car costs around 16 km per liter and is well-known amongst local mechanics, which makes it one of the options to opt for when one is considering to buy a car for him or herself.

Suzuki Cultus

Another widely popular car in the streets of Karachi is the Suzuki Cultus. The car is known to be reliable and is famous as one of the budget-friendly cars with a reasonably good Air Conditioner.

It also has low maintenance costs, and the parts are easily available, which makes it one of the best options under 10 lacs.

Daihatsu Coure

The Japanese carmakers manufacture Coure even-though Daihatsu is widely popular amongst Pakistanis as it is one of the most compact automobiles available. The cars are known to be durable but have a reputation of having parts slightly expensive than their peers at Suzuki, giving it a slight disadvantage. It is an excellent choice if one wants to opt for a Japanese car instead of a locally manufactured one.

Suzuki Bolan

Suzuki Bolan is one of the famous for being ever driven on Pakistani roads. Generally referred to as the “Hi-Roof,” it is one of the most budget-friendly, cost-effective options with low maintenance costs for families with many people.

The car is even used commercially for pick & drop purposes. It is usually used by families with many family members or have to carry spacious goods on a regular basis.

Suzuki Mehran

It is impossible to have a conversation about cars and not have Mehran in the talks. Even though car enthusiasts mostly use it to express the lack of innovation in our local automotive industry, Mehran still stands as one of the most reliable, durable, cost-effective car in our market that costs under 10 lac rupees.

Do you think we missed out on a car that costs under 10 lac rupees? If yes, leave a comment below.

Rabia Anum Schools Caller Over Asking For A ‘Wazeefa’ To Have A Son

Rabia Anum, the famous news anchor, is going viral after schooling a caller who phoned during her Ramadan show transmission on PTV Home.

Sexist Culture

Our culture is weirdly very sexist; prioritizing sons over daughters. This may stem from the idea that they have to marry off their daughter who ultimately moves away but the son brings a wife who is ‘supposed’ to live with them.

Of course, after twenty-five years when the son moves away and it is the daughter most of the times who is more involved with them, it is then that they learn their lesson.

Caller on Ramadan Transmission

But anyway, this mentality is deeply embedded in our mindsets. And even if some of us has realised this and attempt to change this, it will take generations until the mentality is completely removed. This is evident in the phone call in the Ramadan transmission airing on Pakistan Television (PTV Home).

Hosting the show, famous news anchor talked to a caller who stated her query. The caller has five daughters but no sons and would really like to have at least one. For that purpose, the caller wanted a wazeefa.

Rabia Anum Responds

An exasperated Rabia responds to the caller saying that she did not understand this request. It meant that they weren’t happy with daughters when daughters are rehmat for the household. She quotes that when Allah is happy it is then he grants a daughter. And the fact that the caller has five shows how much Allah is happy with them.

Loving the daughters

She goes on to refer how she really respects Shahid Afridi and not just because of his sports career or work in welfare but the love that he showers on his daughters.

She further says that loving daughters is a sunnat because Hazrat Muhammad also loved his daughter. Not just that, she recounts instances through which the Prophet (pbuh) would show his love; that he would always get up to greet his daughter out of love and respect; and that when going on a journey, he would meet her last and upon return, she would be the first person he would visit.

5 Easy & Delicious Recipes You Can Make Using Frozen Parathas
Image source: https://www.dnaindia.com/

Frozen paratha is a delicacy that is not only convenient but also delicious to devour. The crispy, crunchy layers of the frozen parathas are mouthwatering yet aesthetically pleasing. Did you know you can make different food items using frozen parathas? Frozen parathas can be used as a base for a lot of recipes that require the use of puff pastry or dough.

However, you can use frozen parathas to create a base and enjoy your favorite dishes. If you still don’t know what I am talking about, then look no further because I have a list of all the delicious recipes you can try with the frozen item.

1. Chicken Patties 

If you like bakery items, then you must be a fan of patties. This classic delicacy is a must-have for any high tea or snack party. What if we told you that you could make this delicious and healthy snack at home using frozen parathas? This recipe is not just easy to make but will also be the highlight of your next tea party.

2. Chocolate croissants

A must-have for dessert lovers. This French dessert comes in a variety of flavors. Suppose the idea of using puff pastry dreads you from baking your favorite snack. Instead, use frozen parathas, which will make your baking experience worthwhile.

3. Pizza Paratha

Want to have a quick pizza fix? Or you want to utilize some leftovers from the fridge? Then, you can use a frozen paratha to create a pizza paratha. Just gather your favorite toppings, pop the pizza in the oven, or cook it on low flame until it turned golden brown.

4. Braided Paratha Pockets

If you like bread, then you have to have bread. Bread is convenient, delicious, and a quick fix for those hunger pangs. However, it is quite a hassle to knead the dough and then cook it accordingly because it requires precision. So, if you like bread, try this recipe that will definitely be the star of your menu.

5. Tandoori Chicken Samosa 

Did you know you could use the paratha for the samosa filling? Neither do I! But it looks like this recipe is definitely going to replace the traditional samosa recipe because of all the crunchy layers the samosa will have because of paratha.

Cooking shows are an interesting phenomenon because they are followed not just by people interested in cooking. People who do not like to spend a day in the kitchen would also be seen watching these shows. Remember the Master Chef Australia seasons?

Of course, that had all kinds of drama one could have in a cooking show but other cooking shows also get high viewership. A case in point will be how major TV channels in Pakistan either have one or two cooking shows or have started separated channels for this category to cash on the viewership.

1. Lazzat – Chef Samina

Airing on Masala TV, the show Lazzat stars Chef Samina Jalil, who graces our TV screens with the tastiest recipes one could try. From Daal Moong Pakora to Beef Teriyaki Noodles, Chef Samina caters to a number of recipes even if they belong from a different region altogether.

2. Masala Mornings – Chef Shireen

One more chef from Masala TV is Chef Shireen who comes on the channel to help us begin our day with the scenic views of food, not to mention the innovative and interesting ideas she leaves us with that we could try in the kitchen.

3. Chef Mehboob Show

In a society where the task of cooking is assumed to be only with the women, the men trying their luck in the kitchen is a difficult journey for them considering they have to face a lot of backlash. Chef Mehboob is one of the male chefs in the Pakistani industry who has proved his worth and continues to do so with his amazing shows.

4. Zaiqa – Chef Zakir

Zaiqa with Chef Zakir is a time duration ensured to be full of Zaiqa. The way he curates his dishes, even if you are not going to cook them, you could sit and watch them for hours and hours.

5. Zauq Zindagi

Zauq Zindagi features Dr. Sara Riaz and when there is a doctor on the cooking show, the dishes cooked have to be healthy. So if you are going to be cooking the dishes taught in this show, they will be tasty and safe to eat.

Yasir Hussain Criticized For Giving A Ride To A Beggar Kid

Yasir Hussain is known for his antics on and off social media. He is one of the few celebrities who manage to get criticized by the public no matter what he does. However, some times, it is only right to criticize him for his doings.

Recently, Yasir posted an IGTV where he is seen driving his car. However, on the passenger seat, a guy looks like a beggar or a drug addict. Yasir is seen talking to the guy who seems like a conversion about drugs. After filming the video for almost two minutes, Yasir drops him off and then signs off.

The Conversation 

During the conversation, Yasir asks the guy why does he opt for drugs, specifically Heroin. He also asks how long the euphoric feeling lasts or if there is any specific reason behind the drug consumption. Moreover, he also asked about the methods of consumption which seems absolutely irrelevant.

The Public’s Criticism 

What seems like a general conversation is wrong on so many levels, and the public is calling him out for it. Yasir got criticized on why is he filming the video in the first place? What is the point of posting such a video? Did he take the consent from the guy because it seems like he is hiding the camera to film the video and so on?

However, at the same time, some people criticized him for promoting such things on social media and called him out for stooping so low to get some attention.

The Final Verdict

As we can not judge his intentions behind recording this video. It seems like he did it just for fun. Picking a total stranger from the roadside and giving them a ride in your car is something that is not very safe or is usually avoided. More so, filming someone privately without their consent is not ethical either.

10 Bizarre Beauty Trends That Will Shock You

bizarre beauty trends

The 21st century is riddled with the debate on beauty standards (as it should be). However, a blast from the past can tell us how far we have come. Some of these beauty trends in the previous centuries were mind-blowing and hilarious!

1. Receding Hairlines

The Renaissance period actually preferred receding hairlines. Unlike today, large foreheads were considered beautiful. How did women achieve this? By plucking all the hair out from their foreheads and keeping hair tightly tucked in bonnets. 

bizarre beauty trends

2. Skull Shaping

By 1000 BC, many tribes were shaping skulls. Perhaps this was the only part of the body that had not fallen victim yet, but then it did. They would strap a child’s skull to a metal mould to cause it to shape this way. Apparently, this was beautiful!

bizarre beauty trends

3. Long Fingernails

For the  Qing Dynasty of China, long fingernails did not mean the same as ours. Long actually meant 8-10 inches long! This was considered a symbol of beauty and also wealth because it showed that they had to do nothing at all.

4. Ditch The Eyelashes

Middle age and the Renaissance period were experimenting a lot with hair. Turns out, there was also a phase of no eyelashes where women plucked them away. Thank God this one didn’t stick with us!

5. Black Teeth

Women in Japan would not approve of teeth whitening strips today. Their tradition was based on painting teeth black after marriage for a long time. It was known as Ohaguro and was practised in much of the 19th century.

6. Separated Breasts

As women were wearing corsets and coming into discovering cleavage separated breasts also came through. They were achieved through what is called a ‘divorce corset’. Gone were the days of tight cleavages, women now were found beautiful if they flaunted huge gaps between their breasts.

7. Unibrows

Greeks were huge fans of the unibrows. Lucky for them, they did not have threading issues!

bizarre beauty trends

Previously, the solution for acne was beauty patches. They were made from pricey fabrics like silk or velvet and coated in a gum adhesive to keep them in place. They also came in a variety of decorative shapes including crescents, hearts, and stars which women wore on their faces.

8. Beauty Patches for Acne

9. Painted Eyebrows

Women of the Tang dynasty in China would paint their eyebrows creatively. In between the brows, they would make colourful decorations called hua dian. Hia Dian was made of specks of gold, silver, and emerald feather.

10. Short Teeth

rt teeth were a trend. The idea was that your teeth should be shorter than the normal length and then you would stand out. Would you sport this trend today?

Azeem Khan Disappears From Social Media After Major Controversy

Often we come across individuals who become famous/known within a few days. Not long ago, Dananeer was one of those individuals. She rose to fame thanks to her ‘Party Horahi Hai’ video. But she has been able to retain her newfound fame. The blogger ensures that even after becoming known all over the country and even in the neighboring country, she finds time to invest in doing good deeds. But not everyone is like her now, are they? Some are like Azeem Khan too.

Azeem Khan and Saba Qamar

Many Pakistanis heard the name of this blogger for the first time in their lives when Saba Qamar accepted his marriage proposal in Insta comments. This led to one of the biggest showbiz controversies 2021 had seen. Many women started warning Saba about the person in question because he did not possess a good track record. They brought forward stories about how he was an anti-feminist who endorsed violence against feminists.

Within a few days where Azeem Khan gained 20k more followers, Saba broke up the relationship.

She took it to Instagram to announce it to the followers. Many celebrities backed her stance and wished her well, however, this triggered a different sentiment in the public. The public began thinking what if this was just a cheap trick for Saba right before her music video and for Azeem to gain some followers.

Where is he now?

The speculations grew but the two people, Saba Qamar and Azeem Khan maintained the position that it was a legit relationship. In fact, Saba Qamar even called this her most adventurous move, ‘getting engaged to someone she had never even met’. But as all controversies and scandals go, the hype faded away and people forgot all about Azeem Khan.

Saba Qamar

Earlier, when Saba was engaged to him, we had asked and answered the question, “Who is Azeem Khan?” But today, it seems we need to ask, “Where is Azeem Khan?” Yes, you read that right. Weeks after triggering the social media controversy, Azeem Khan is nowhere to be found. We cannot trace his Insta account. He is not on Twitter. And neither can we find the blogger’s Facebook page that is if he had any.

Was this really a cheap stunt by Saba Qamar then? Or was Azeem not able to handle the backlash that followed his past actions?

PM Imran Khan Announces Two New Schemes For Overseas Pakistanis

Prime Minister Imran Khan believes in the importance of overseas Pakistanis and how their help can be beneficial for the country. For that purpose, he has ensured that there are schemes and processes in place to accommodate them as much as possible to encourage foreign currency inflow.

Imran Khan and Roshan Digital Account

On that note, he initiated Roshan Digital Account (RDA) which allows the Pakistanis residing abroad to have their own bank account in Pakistan. Through that, they can easily conduct financial transactions at lower rates. In the following days, some other schemes were also announced. Recently, PM Imran Khan presented two more schemes and they are truly exciting. The new schemes are Roshan Apni Car Scheme and Samaaji Khidmat Scheme.

Roshan Apni Car and Samaaji Khidmat

In this scheme, overseas Pakistanis will be able to buy cars for their loved ones residing in Pakistan and that too at lower rates. So for instance, usually people have to pay a markup of 12 or 13 percent. But when RDA holders do the purchasing, they can avail it at 7%. So the cars bought through non-resident Pakistanis will be 20% percent cheaper than what a resident Pakistani can buy.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=external&v=574072413627988

Not to mention that the car will be in the priority delivery category.

The idea of Samaaji Khidmat stems from overseas Pakistanis knowing that a large number of people living in Pakistan are living below poverty lines. And because of that most Pakistanis living abroad want to send donations or pay their obligatory Zakat to Pakistan. However, due to restrictions on sending money to Pakistan, they are unable to do so. Samaaji Khidmat scheme accommodates such Pakistanis in ensuring that they can send money through RDA holders as Zakat or donations. They can also make donations to the government’s Ehsaas program which helps alleviate a number of issues faced by the masses.

In the coming days, hopefully, more Pakistanis will be bringing in foreign currency helping the economy of the country.

Google’s Top Trending Foods Revealed in New Report

food

Turmeric is in. Rainbow bagels are out. And while the popularity of ramen shows no sign of waning, the same can’t be said of the gluten-free cupcake trend.

These are among some of the conclusions drawn from a new, sweeping 2016 Food Trends report from Google, which analyzed two years’ worth of data to come up with a synopsis of what consumers in the US have been cooking, eating and Googling over the last two years.

Turmeric

One of the biggest emerging food trends? Functional foods with health-boosting properties that claim to help with everything from better skin, libido, depression, insomnia and pain.

The “breakout star” of the pack, however, is turmeric, whose health properties range from reducing the risk of cancer to easing depression. Searches for the terracotta-colored spice have grown 300 percent over the last five years.

Pho

While turmeric is perhaps best known for its use in curries, the Google report reveals emerging trends and applications, with searches for the spice paired with words like “smoothie,” “drink,” and “juice.”

Other health-enhancing foods that have been trending over the last two years include apple cider vinegar, jackfruit, manuka honey, kefir and coconut milk.

5 Healthy & Yummy Alternatives To French Fries

Meanwhile, though ramen is classified as a sustained riser — defined as foods that have seen steady growth and are expected to stick around — the report files pho as the top trending global food. Since 2013, the Vietnamese noodle dish has seen an 11 percent year-over-year growth. It’s also categorized as a seasonal rising trend, with searches spiking in the wintry month of January.

In addition to pho recipes, Google data reveals that consumers are also taking to the web to look up the best neighborhood spots for tucking into a bowl of authentic Vietnamese noodles.

Other rising food trends include ramen, Mexican candy, bibimbap, taquitos, empanadas, queso frescos and mochi ice cream.

Every flourishing nation requires one prime ingredient in its success. Yes, we are referring to education here. If there is none in a place, it is possible that people may not move forward as fast.

Technological advancements are being done with every passing day. We have to make sure that we stay caught up. This is so we make advancements of our own. In light of education, there is a new university opening in Islamabad. It is said to be the first Media University of Pakistan.

While some universities focus on media sciences, this one will be purely working on the media sciences. They intend to introduce a lot of new stuff to the curriculum. Additionally, it will allow better work opportunities too. Federal Information Minister, Fawad Chaudhry, was the person to let us know of this news.

He recently announced that an old building in Islamabad is being converted for this purpose. The building itself cost a hefty amount to build. It was sitting as an abandoned hotel for a while now. A hotel that never came into operation after construction was finished.

University Building

The minister has also announced that the faculty for the university is going to be carefully chosen. Many of the teachers are said to be coming to Pakistan from Britain. An international faculty can gain a lot of points to Pakistan. It promotes friendship. Teachers, willing to come and teach, means more recognition for Pakistan. Additionally, these teachers can help university students in applying abroad. That would be after their bachelors.

The program is also going to introduce the latest technology being used across the globe. This means that there is a huge chance that telecommunication will be a part of it. 6G technologies have become known to people now and will hit the market soon. Pakistan wants to make sure they don’t lag when the world begins to leap ahead. The 52-room hotel will be operating under a public-private university.

Education Progressing

The minister also added that three new areas of education will be entering Pakistan with this university. These are the areas of Animation, Sound and Lighting. These can be critical factors for someone in the field of media and are useful areas of learning. No profession in the world can be considered a mediocre one. This one is certainly no different. It is sure to attract a large audience in Pakistan. It will also help in polishing the skills of passionate students.

We hope that this development helps Pakistan is rising high. Despite the dire pandemic situation in the world, it is good to see that education is not slowing down. The government is making an effort to make sure talent does not stay hidden. Let us see what programs the university offers once it officially launches. There could a lot of areas where they can offer programs. It does not only have to stay till media and can extend to other domains too.

Samsung Manages To Dethrone Apple In Smartphone Shipments

There is always some form of war going on between rivals. These can be rivals of any industry. If you have seen the movie ‘Rush’, you may be aware of what rivalry is. Just like that, there is a war going on in the technological domain. There are currently two titans of the smartphone industry and these are Samsung and Apple. As far back as we can think, these two have been in competition. Sometimes, Apple gets ahead and other times, the victory is for Samsung.

In recent news, it seems that Samsung has gotten ahead of Apple yet again. While we are aware of Apple’s success with iPhone 12, it cannot stay ahead in every domain. The presence of a pandemic worldwide has affected a lot of things. Many businesses have shut down, people have gone indoors and the virus continues to rage through.

However, despite all this, life has bloomed in the darkest of corners. Due to the shopping frenzy in the pandemic, semiconductor chips have run short. These are the same chips that are used in mobile phones as well as tablets and even vehicles.

Samsung diving ahead:

Let us take a look at just the first quarter of 2021. Up till now, about 347 million units of smartphones have been shipped. This is quite a staggering number but it is not of one brand. Rather, this is the combination of many known brands. However, it seems that Samsung has the highest shipped units this quarter.

The Samsung numbers stand at 76.5 million smartphones! That is a huge number and a substantial portion of the total. Apple has finished in second place, with 52.4 million iPhones. It seems that the iPhone 12 Pro Max has been a huge success in the United States. A lot of Apple fans seem to be present in that region.

However, there is no doubt that, in this area, Samsung takes the cake. However, these two are not the only contenders now, it seems. According to sources, Xiaomi has ended up among the top 5 shippers of smartphones. They have placed at number three, with 49 million phones.

The average of the company has risen by 62% and it is quite a feat to celebrate. All three companies are known for producing robust phones and are going up as the months’ progress. However, it may be difficult for shipment to take place in the coming quarters. With the chipset shortage still in place, the new iPads or Macs can have issues in orders.

Never-ending Conflict:

While the war itself is not violent, it is certainly interesting to see. If you follow our tech news regularly, you are aware that the two often take jabs at each other. Whether it is over a smartphone or a computer chip, the war remains the same. We hope that all smartphone companies continue to produce products at maximum capacity. The world is taking a turn and so is the embedded tech.

Frontline health workers played an integral part in the global response to COVID-19. All around the world, health workers are taking on significant risks to serve the communities and ensuring that people are receiving the care they need. However, it is not just the health workers who are risking their lives. Frontline workers, enabling a country’s economy to sustain during these difficult times should also be recognized and appreciated.

The bankers of our country, just like bankers all around the world, are playing a significant part in serving the communities. Despite the hardships and health risks, millions of bankers continue to do their jobs. These hardworking heroes are making sure that the fear of the pandemic does not stop them from serving the customers. We feel proud in recognizing the efforts of our bankers, especially the frontline staff.

However, it is saddening to see how there have been several attempts to demoralize the services and efforts of bankers during the pandemic. The least we can do for these individuals is to not turn a blind eye to their service and recognize their efforts. They step out of their houses every day, exposing themselves to the risk and making the utmost sacrifice for this nation and its people.

While we are taking all the essential measures to keep ourselves, and others around us, safe and protected, we must also make sure that we stand together to mitigate all the fake news propaganda that is circulating against hard-working professionals. We must not become the source of stress, instead, we should support, encourage and appreciate them for all that they are doing to serve the community

Let’s adhere to SOPs shared by the government and make these challenging times as easy as we can for each other.
