Makkah And COVID-19

The COVID-19 has taken a massive toll on the number of activities that take place in Makkah. After the first COVID-19 case in KSA was detected on March 02, 2020, in the Qatif region among individuals who had traveled to an endemic region in Iran. The 2020 Hajj season was successfully ended on August 3, 2020, with no major public health incident. Although the holy sites in Makkah and Medina remain open, access to the holy sites was limited for no more than 1000 persons (already resident in Saudi Arabia).

A complete protocol of social distancing along with facemasks was followed throughout the pilgrimage. This year the Saudi government has made the COVID immunization vaccine mandatory for those planning to offer Hajj.

These include individuals who have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, those having received one dose of the vaccine at least 14 days before performing the pilgrimage, or a person who has recovered from the virus, the ministry said.

The actress shut down speculations about her private life that had been doing rounds on social media. She shared mesmerizing photos of herself sporting a traditional mint green bridal outfit complimented by evening makeup and heavy jewelry.

Nadia Khan’s Wedding Announcement 

“Sharing my pictures with my fans and followers in a few hours,” she posted on Instagram, revealing some bridal details with henna-stained hands, gleaming rings, and the dress.

With close to a million subscribers, Khan runs her own channel, which goes by the name of Outsyle, with Nadia for her DIY hacks and tips on social media.

Netizens Are Not Happy With Ayeza Khan In Chupke Chupke

This Ramadan, once again, TV was graced with Ramadan special shows. While that entails only Sehri and Iftar transmissions for some channels, others go the extra mile and air dramas as well. For one of the local channels, that meant airing Chupke Chupke. While Chupke Chupke does seem neatly executed with its chemistry, plot, and storyline, people are not very happy with one of the lead cast.

Ayeza Khan as Meenu

Playing Meenu in the drama, Ayeza Khan has taken on all the traits of a bubbly girl who is spontaneous, doesn’t think much of the consequences and the sole purpose of her life is to avoid studies. Studies. This brings into view another problem. It is extremely difficult to understand what she is studying. In some scenes, she is holding O-levels books that can only mean she is 16 years old. But then in other scenes, people are talking about her doing graduation (which is another term for bachelors). At another instance, someone said she was doing her Masters in Maths.

And let’s not forget the time when Faazi asked Meenu to recite the table of 9. Which university requires you to learn that?

Audience Reacts

Love for the drama poured in for superb acting skills displayed by Gul Apa (Mira Sethi), Faazi bhai (Osman Khalid Butt), and Hadi Bhai (Arsalan Naseer); Not to mention that people liked Faazi bhai and Meenu’s interaction even though every time they have interacted, shots have been fired. Of course, some people must not have liked this as well but everyone has the right to their opinions. The most criticism on one of the aspects of this drama however was Ayeza Khan playing Meenu.

We asked women outside of the internet about their views and they just could not align the Ayeza Khan (a mother of two) they know, and the 16-year-old girl that she plays. All of them agreed on the fact that there are many more good actresses in the industry who would have better fit the character. And an actor looking his/her part is extremely necessary because it can lead to the audience becoming bored.

Netizens and their views.

While the audience does not look bored considering each episode is garnering above 1 million views on Youtube, this suggestion does sound apt. But who do you think would have fit the role of Meenu better? Let us know in the comments and the best suggestion will be included here!

Aamir Liaquat’s activity on his transmission recently went downhill, quite literally. As a result, it’s taking the internet by a storm!

Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall

Aamir Liaquat’s Ramadan transmission shows are renowned for their uplifting spirit and the joyous atmosphere they create. Many activities and games are played including the hosts, the guests and the audience! As such, in one such activity on his show on Geo News, Liaquat was taken up for a race with one of his guest hosts.

However, while running he tripped on air and tumbled, having a great fall indeed. All it needed was this for Twitter to go crazy with memes over him and his fall.

The prime moment:

Twitter Has No Mercy

Within minutes, Amir Liaquat also started trending on Twitter and his memes spread faster than wildfire. Moreover, some people even said that #AmirLiaquat has spread more than corona itself. You can imagine the scale of the fall’s popularity.

If you’re looking for a good laugh for the Monday situation, here are the best memes made.

We’re Pakistanis, no meme can be made without a cricket reference.

A dig at PTI and its assets:

How many of us can relate to the remote fight with the siblings? Probably everyone

They Keep Coming Through

Some romantic prayers were not left behind- all the points for creativity!

 


Photoshopped next to the Avengers, Marvel has another think coming.

Pennywise’s role is apparently challenged!

Moreover, there are memes on the memes. It keeps getting better.

Some dating mishaps! For instance, running into the brother: relatable or not?

Additionally, what would Amir Liaquat say? We know now…

All That Glitters Is Not Gold

However, while many may be receiving that activity in a humorous light, many are not. There is a lot of criticism being levied against the host, religious scholar and politician too. People are questioning why he would decide to run with a na-mehram during a Ramadan transmission? 

Consequently, people ask, is this hypocrisy or is this only harmless publicity?

No Publicity Is Bad Publicity

All in all, Amir Liaquat just proves that all publicity is good publicity. The race appears to be an unnecessary gimmick on a show that should be serious or respectable according to the theme.

Moreover, Liaquat has also been criticised for passing severe comments against what a na-mehram man and woman can do together. Hence, what gives him the license?

Yet, his name and show have only gotten more famous because of the race and the fall. In conclusion, thanks to the meme culture in Pakistan, anything and everything can become famous.

Vaccine Sites Now Made Available On Google Maps As Well

Do you remember this time of the year, last year? This was the time when COVID-19 had begun to take a peak in Pakistan and everyone was in a state of shock. It all felt so new because nothing like this had happened before. People were forced indoors and it felt like the whole world had turned. A year later, we now have a vaccine in distribution. No one could have expected a vaccine to be developed so fast. Additionally, Google has started to make things easier for us in this regard too!

So, what do we know about the virus so far? We know that it attacks without remorse, as all viruses have. However, its fatality rate is not as high as many others that have struck. Regardless, it is something that we must now always be cautious of. Until a time that the virus is completely eradicated or at a negligible level, we must take caution. The vaccine is being administered to more and more people every day and it is yielding good results. While the scale of administration may not be too high, we are getting there slowly.

Vaccine Help By Google

To help people get access to the vaccine better, Google maps has made it slightly easier for us. Google map is definitely making it considerably easier for those willing to get vaccinated. Google map is now showing locations and places where the vaccine is being administered. This is quite a useful option as it helps people navigate. If you are living in a big city or far from the city, you may have quite a lot of use for this feature of Google.

Not only is it able to aid people in looking for vaccine sites, but you can also tell your friends about them. For now, the feature is available in the US, Canada, France, Chile, India, and Singapore. Every day, they may just be adding more and more cities to their roster. Pretty soon, this update will be making its way into Pakistan. Additionally, a user can use this feature and schedule appointments.

Technological Innovation

Apart from telling one about the available vaccine sites, Google is also providing people with virtual agents. These agents will help people in setting dates and times for the vaccine shot. Apart from ease of access, this is a good way to keep track of the general population. One needs to know how many people have been vaccinated and how many remain.

How to use the Google Map app

All the user has to do is open their Google maps application. Next, they write down vaccination sites and the app will highlight all the nearest ones around them. They can just head down to the one they find the closest and get that much-needed jab. In addition to this, Google has also donated $2.5 Million to healthcare groups that are targeting vaccination pop-up sites in the Black and Latino communities. All of these seem like quite an innovative development by the company.

The novel coronavirus is still on the rise and taking the lives of many due to the third wave. The third wave also resulted in a spike in the number of cases. The travel restrictions and lockdown policies were superimposed once again to control the number of infected individuals. With that, the number of patients who have caught the infection again is also on the rise.

Several different studies are being conducted in light of the COVID-19. Along with the vaccination trials, different studies are being conducted to study the long-term effects of the virus. The chances of re-infection and the contraction of coronavirus after getting a vaccine are few of the many.

Recent Discovery On COVID-19

A recent study has shown the chances of re-infection of the novel coronavirus in young adults is still high regardless of the presence of antibodies. Previously, it was concluded that once the person has developed antibodies, the chances of re-infection are quite low. However, the latest research, which took place in “The Mount Sinai School of Medicine,” states otherwise.

The results concluded that young adults should be cautious of contracting the virus even if they have previously caught and recovered from the COVID-19. The study took place from May to November 2020 on more than 3,000 young, healthy US Marines. The study results concluded that out of the participants who had previously had COVID-19, 10-percent experienced reinfection.

The researchers discovered that the participants who experienced re-infection with the virus also had lower levels of antibodies. This was concluded in comparison to the participants who didn’t experience reinfection during the study period.

Another finding of the study concluded that the patients who have had a re-infection are also prone to transmit the virus. However, more research on the aspect is necessary to conclude the findings.

The majority of reinfections resulted in asymptomatic or mild cases of COVID-19. The results may be different for previously infected individuals with extremely low antibody levels when the reinfection occurs. The study’s senior author Stuart Sealfon, MD, said.

Apple Rumored To Reveal An Updated Apple Pencil

[Update]: Rumors about Apple have become a form of entertainment. Whenever a product is about to get released, people start speculating what they will be getting. Now, for the iPhone series, Apple has reserved the month of September for the launch, but for other products, this year, it is the month of April. In this event, Apple is going to launch its AirTags but it is rumored that another product might also get its introduction. This product is none other than the Apple Pencil.

A third version of the pencil that Apple users use for iPad may also get released. But what the third-generation pencil may offer is still a mystery. Considering, the second generation already offered the wireless charging update, we will have to wait until the upcoming launch event to know for sure, what this one offers.

But until then, have a look at the Apple pencil because it definitely looks sleek.

[April 13th, 2021]: It seems that it is that time of the year again. Do we have news related to space or anything? No, today, our sector stretches to that of technology. It is always fun to see what new gadgets or smartphones a company has come out with. It always tends to grab the attention of the user when titan companies make sneaky moves. Now we have it that Apple has confirmed the launch of an event next week!

As we have discussed once before already, Apple tends to move quietly in the shadows for some part of the year. Despite there being robust releases in the latter half, Apple usually stays quiet about it in the first half. The only hints we get to see of upcoming events and products are through clever marketing ideas or alleged leaks. Now, Apple’s own Siri has confirmed the launch of an event next week. It is said that the event is going to be pre-recorded and will live stream from Apple’s own website.

Apple launch event next week

Apple Event Incoming:

While we may not have all the details, we do have some of them that we can inform you of. Firstly, while the date was not entirely confirmed, Siri says an event will take place on Tuesday, April 20th, 2021. This makes the event less than a week away now. Apple usually sends invitations to the users a week prior so we should be expecting one later today or tomorrow. While the date of the event has become complete public knowledge, Siri also said that users can check additional info on the Apple site. This also means that the details and invitation will be extended towards users with an Apple ID.

Since this is an Apple event, we can expect quite a lot of the audience to be present. No one wants to miss out on Apple events because they usually tend to reveal new technology. Not only do they do that, but they also release products that have the latest embedded within them. Do you remember when they released the M1 chip? It has such impressive capabilities and features that one can’t help but go read about it online.

Product Reveals:

As far as we are aware, two products are nearing the company’s horizon. The first is the much anticipated 12.9 inch iPad Pro, installed with an A14X chip. This might be joined by an iPad mini, but it is not yet confirmed. The second launch is said to be that of the Apple AirTags, which have been hyped up for about a while now.

One of the most-loving duo Sara Khan and Falak Shabir is dropping baby hints, and we can’t keep calm.

Last week, Falak Shabir posted a video of Sara Khan asking for prayers. Sara Khan, who has been in Turkey for a few weeks, was hospitalized while vacationing. Her manager announced the news of her contracting Typhoid. The manager said that the Raqs-e-Bismil starlet was suffering from a high fever and vomiting due to typhoid, which is why she was admitted to the hospital.

However, a few days later, Falak posted an Instagram story that captioned ‘The Beauty of a Relationship.’ Subhanallah. 

The post left everyone wondering if Khan was really sick due to Typhoid as the situation states otherwise.

Netizen’s Response 

After looking at the picture, the public couldn’t keep calm and wondered if there is good news in the future.

5 Honeymoon Destinations To Travel To During COVID-19

affordable honeymoon

Honeymoon destinations are a very critical topic amongst the newlyweds. And, rightfully so. First of all, it is difficult to choose the place because both partners want different things. But amidst this pandemic, many countries went into lockdowns, so they were not allowing tourists either. Meanwhile, other countries receiving visitors were themselves employing strategies such as work from home, which meant that tourists could not see the culture first hand. So there was no point traveling to those countries either.

But does that mean people should not have their honeymoon? No way, they definitely should. Honeymoon is a tradition in itself and if you think you can complete it sometime later, let me tell you, that never happens!

So if you are worried about where to travel during this COVID-19, we have some suggestions for you.

1. Turkey

Turkey has been the hot travel destination amongst Pakistanis for a few years. It is beautiful, it is cheap, and it is so safe that even girls can travel solo. Plus, it brings together different religions and cultures; that melting pot makes an exciting sight. Although, since newlyweds are choosing the country, I would suggest less explored cities so they can enjoy a romantic trip.

2. The Maldives

The Maldives is a group of islands. One might think that all it offers is water or water sports. Yes, it has water and activities for those waters. But there is so much more. If you are not a water person, you can choose to stay in villages and explore their culture. If you are a beach person, you can get accommodation alongside the beach. And if by chance you want solitude and the water together, you can choose a hut over the water (I would love that option but it’s expensive).

3. Mauritius 

Another place to try out is Mauritius. You get to experience a culture that brings you a mixture of major religions co-existing; it is an interesting idea which I personally would like to explore. But make sure your partner enjoys exploring culture as well.

4. Seychelles

People say Seychelles is exactly like the Maldives. But it’s more expensive compared to the Maldives. This is also a plus point, however. Because if you can afford it, why shouldn’t you go to a place a lesser crowd would be going to.

5. Baku

If you want beauty and affordability together in your trip, Azerbaijan is the place to go. Since the place is affordable, you and your partner can explore the country in a short time and then just laze around for the rest of your trip.

Have a fun honeymoon, and do let us know which places you opted for.

Rumors have it that Farhan Saeed and Urwa Hocane have filed for a divorce. This puts them in the long list of couples that broke this year, and people are heartbroken.

Confiding Into Twitter

Pakistanis have taken to social media to express their sadness. Many couples lost the fight in 2020 and parted ways. Though it may have been best for them, there’s no saying their fans were not heartbroken. Each person has their ‘OTP’ – one true pair that they truly love. Can you spot yours in this tweet?

Syra Khan and Shehroz Sabzwari

Syra and Shehroz had been together for over 10 years. There’s no doubt that Syra was out of her husband’s league, but they looked beyond happy together. People especially loved their videos with their little daughter, Nooreh. She can give her parents a run for their money when it comes to acting!

Asim Azhar and Hania Amir

The award for the couple that broke up in the worst possible way goes to… Jokes aside, their breaking up also had many fans sad. As celebrities, when you share your relationship with the public, they grow fond and get attached.

Just like that, many young fans of Asim and Hania loved the two together. Their break up came as a surprise for which they were not prepared!

Farhan Saeed and Urwa Hocane

Their separation is also pitiful though the news may still be unconfirmed. Farhan and Urwa had a loving relationship before they tied the knot. Their wedding was also a spectacular one in which they two looked like they were made for each other.

Let’s not forget their shoots together— each year, a new shoot that was fairly intimate.

Twitter Reacts 

Twitter ki awam is sad, and they’re expressing it!

The Road of Life Can Diverge

The breaking apart of such couples makes one question commitment as well as love. Were they putting on a show for the public, or was it real? It’s interesting how in 2020 alone, there are a handful of divorces and separations coming, though. The elders say that today, no one knows how to sustain relationships. However, it’s also true that one never needs to sustain relationships at the cost of their happiness.

Is there true love really is what people are asking, and unfortunately, we’re out of answers. It seems each person has a different journey they set on, and the road of life can diverge at one point.

Tired of hearing about the Karsaz wali Dulhan? Well, we bring to you yet again, an installment of our campus horror stories. This time we decided to cover the horror stories of Karachi University. Although the university has lots of departments, the place is so huge that there is much empty land. And where is vacant, abandoned land, there is supernatural. Isn’t there? So let’s see what KU has to tell us concerning that.

1. The Dead Student

While Karachi University is bustling with life during the day, it is very peaceful and silent at nightfall. Almost scary. Even those students who have to stay behind for their evening programs prefer to stay in crowded places. It is mostly because areas drowned in darkness make them feel a supernatural presence. And this vibe gets very serious in the quiet of the night going from KUBS to the Maskan gate.

People have reported that first, you smell a strong perfume, and you can feel someone walking alongside you even though there is no one there. At other times you see a girl with books in her hands. Another girl reported that she felt a hand grab her shoulder. When she turned, there was no one.

Considering it all started after a female student was raped, murdered, and thrown in the bushes on the Maskan road, it is logical to say that it is the ghost of the dead girl.

2. Kabootar

It is understood that supernatural entities take on the shape of animals at times. And that is why we have heard so many stories about people passing comment on a stray cat, and the cats reply.

Well, a similar strange story was reported by a KU student. A girl says that she went to her class where there was a pigeon. The pigeon looked at her and kept staring without breaking eye contact or even fidgeting, which the pigeon should have been doing. They felt creeped out.

In the meantime, a cat came into the room. She attacked the pigeon and ate him. It would have been a very anti-climactic story had the cat not been discovered dead the next day.

3. The UBIT legend

UBIT has quite many legends. There is that one female ghost for everyplace so we are going to ignore that. But among the many horror stories, we found one about the basement.

A professor told his students that the basement has remained empty for decades ever since the professor residing there passed away. So it was better if no one ventured in.

But students, they never listen. So a couple of students went into the dusty, closed-off basement quarters. They swear there was no one in that pitch dark room. And yet they heard someone walk by. They left running.

There are other such stories and places all over KU. One of the most haunted places in the university is the area behind the girls’ hostel. Check them out if you want adventure, or avoid these places if you are scared. Happy haunting!

From Pakoras to Dahi Baray to Chola chaat to lemonade – these items are all staples in your average iftar. While we can debate how great all of these items are for your health, one thing’s for sure: some of these ingredients can be excellent for your skin as well.

While we’re stuck at home unable to go to the spa, why not try and give some of these ingredients a chance to do wonders on your skin?

Have a look at the below ingredients that are just a cupboard or a refrigerator away from you and can give you that flawless skin that you’ve been looking for.

1. Gram flour

Besan is more than just a crucial ingredient for your yummy pakoras. It does wonders for your skin and hair! One of the crucial advantages of besan for your skin is that it acts as a natural de-tanner. Try a DIY mask of besan which includes yoghurt, turmeric (Haldi), and lemon, and you can get rid of the tan on your skin with time.

Besan is also amazing for your hair! Mix it in with olive oil for a good hair mask to restore shine and get long thick long hair.

2. Chickpeas

Aside from having them in Chola chaat, you take all the advantage of the nutrients in chickpeas and make yourself an anti-ageing mask. Chickpeas are loaded with fibre and special substances like manganese that aid in the reduction of wrinkles. All you need to do is boil some chickpeas, mash them up and add enough water to make a paste, leave it on for 15 minutes and wash with tap water.

3. Yoghurt

Yoghurt is one of the prominent names on this list. It is full of probiotics and helps combat the majority of skin problems. It, not only moisturizes, but also fights acne, prevents premature ageing, relieves sunburn, and reduces discolouration.

Just whip it up and slather it on to your skin. Combine it up with other ingredients such as honey, lemon, or rose water to attain the best results!

Secondly, yoghurt is amazing for your hair. Just infuse it with thick oil and let the mask get rid of dandruff, soothes itchy scalps, nourish hair, provide shine, and a lot more. You can mix it with egg to get that shiny hair as well.

4. Tamarind

Imli is not only lip-smacking but also is perfect for brightening up dull skin. You can make a natural scrub with the pulp of boiled Tamarind and adding in with salt (preferably pink or rock salt). Scrub away rough skin and let the vitamins C and B3 give your skin that boost of a healthy glow.

Don’t forget that Tamarind can be slightly harsh on your skincare if not used appropriately; don’t use it raw. Boil it to the pulp and then use that on your skin. The boiled tamarind water is also great for oily hair.

5. Lemon

While this magic ingredient completes more than half of your iftar dishes, it is also a natural astringent.

Just slice up a lemon, add it in sugar for natural scrub and apply on your lips to remove the hyperpigmentation on them or mix lemon with honey to acquire the flawless skin. You can also mix lemon and milk and apply that on your face with a cotton ball.

6. Honey

Source/ Dawn

Honey has antibacterial properties, which means it’s great for all skin types but a necessity for those with acne-prone skin. It does magic even alone and is commonly used as a base for many masks. Since it is a natural ingredient, you can trade-in your sleeping pack for it instead and wake up to fresh skin.

7. Oatmeal:

Oatmeal or porridge is an excellent alternative for the health-conscious during iftar, but it’s also miraculous for sensitive or irritated skin. It’s relatively simple if you have any porridge leftover, just slather it on your face. The texture of porridge is already perfect for a natural beauty mask. It is also great to counter redness and inflammation.

5 Cool Things You Didn’t Know Your Apple Watch Could Do!

Apple Watch

The iPhone is not the only product that comes out of Apple’s factories. Of course, the company started with computers and then started a tangential journey towards phones, but more. Despite the tangent, Apple still releases MacBooks and Mac Desktop Computers too. Coming to the smaller gadgets, Apple specializes in earphones and watches too. So, if you already knew that, you might be an owner of the AirPods or the Apple Watch. But, there may be features of the watch you might be unaware of. Let us look at some of them.

Apple Smart Watch

1. Vehicle Caretaker

With the turn of 2020, as of now, vehicle technology is moving forward quite well. One can turn the Car ON or OFF with the press of the button. They can open and close doors too. So how does the Apple Watch fit in this scenario? Well, what the watch does is it allows the user to track the status of the vehicle. Parameters like tire pressure, fuel gauge are all a tap away. So make sure you check that PSI on your smartwatch before heading out on the road trip!

Apple Car Talking Smart

2. Take a deep breath

We all know that a lot of smartwatches can track heart pumping. They can monitor your blood pressure and give warnings if it goes too low or too high. But what about your breathing? Can there be a way to track that? Look no further because the Apple Watch does exactly that! One of the symptoms of Covid 19 is the shortness of breath. So if you’re already experiencing other symptoms and then your watch warns you of irregular breathing, you know what to do.

Similarly, an approaching Panic Attack can be preceded by the shortness of one’s breath. The watch can be helpful there too.

3. Music Control

Ever feel too lazy to get up and adjust the speaker volume? Wish you could change that track sitting from the comfort of your bed? Prepare to be baffled as we tell you that the Apple Watch has this feature too! You can sit back and adjust all the volume you want, so long as the other end has a Bluetooth connection.

Change tracks and cycle through your playlist with ease.

4. Screenshot Availability

Is there something that you wish to remember for later? Did you write something using your Apple Watch that you want to save? Well, the device allows the feature of screenshots as well. The screenshot feature is one of the most important features of smartphones today. Not just information, you come across a good meme, you have to snap it!

The screenshot is even one of the most asked questions about the watch. So let us put that query at rest by telling you that a screenshot is possible.

5. Aqua Eject!

As we all know, devices today are made to be water-resistant. From watches to phones, a lot of devices are being made to withstand dips. Samsung Note 8 is one of the best water-resistant phones. It can even survive dips in salt seawater and falls, which end in water. So what does the Apple Watch have to offer here?

The watch houses a feature which ejects water from the device itself on its own. Sensors present within the Apple Watch itself detect water content. Once beyond the threshold, it automatically drains the water from itself. How far have we come?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Might Actually Look Like This! [View Image]

By

Update: Earlier, we shared a leaked image of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 which had been leaked on Weibo (image below). However, the authenticity of the picture was very much in question as the image had surfaced on April 1st, hinting it was just an April fools prank.

But, designer Benjamin Geskin has shared his version of the Note 8 concept, and the resemblance is just too much! According to him, the Note 8 looks something like this;

According to him, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be approximately 6.4-inch 4K Infinity Display (18:9 ratio) in addition to an on-screen fingerprint scanner, a dual camera setup on the back, and stereo speakers.

A highly plausible features that Samsung could very well introduce with the Note 8 in the second half of the year. We’re still not sure how the S-Pen will fit inside a phone which might be just so thin, but that’s up to its clever designers and engineers to solve.

Samsung has yet again created massive hype, and this time it’s not the Galaxy S8, it’s the Note 8! A viral image of what seems to be the company’s possible flagship phone has surfaced on the internet and is going viral.

While the Galaxy S8 was just unveiled last month, it seems as if the Note 8 is not too far away from being showcased soon itself. Posted in Slashleaks, the picture shows a device quite similar to the Galaxy S8+ along with Samsung’s S Pen.

However, the picture does not provide any product details and source, which has cast sort of a doubt on its legitimacy.

Galaxy-Note-8

The image is a shot of the front of the device with an S Pen laying next to it, obviously trying to imply the stylus goes with the device. However, there is no way to tell from the photo whether the device shown has a slot for the stylus.

Assuming that it is a Note 8, we see that Samsung is bringing the same design cues from the Galaxy S8 to their Note line. That includes the minimal bezels and a front dominated by the screen. The Bixby button is also present and the screenshot shown is highlighting the existence of Bixby on the device.

Unfortunately, no other details were shared with the posting and it should be noted the date of the Weibo posting is April 1st.

Komal Rizvi Reveals Details About Her Abusive Marriage

Every day, we hear various kinds of news that rise from the pop culture world. Be it the domestic one or the international one, the news can often come as quite a shock. Some pieces of information are regarded as cheerful news and some are seen as dire ones. One may not always have to look quite far when it comes to celebrities. Similarly, Komal Rizvi has recently appeared in an interview. You may have heard of her or seen her in movies before.

She is one of the most impressive and successful actresses to grip the pop culture world. Her films that came out, back in the 90s, are considered as somewhat of an icon. She stands as a representation of a film legend and the epitome of resilience. She recently appeared in an interview where she opened up about some of the details of her marriage. While it may not have been her intention to open up a lot, she did give quite a few points of concern.

Komal Rizvi and her interview
Image Source: dawn.com

Komal Rizvi Is Resilient

It started off with her explaining that she had not been happy when she was in a six-year marriage with her husband. She was on Nida Yasir’s show as a guest recently. When she was asked about her past marriage, she said that her husband was of an abusive personality. She further said that he was someone who had imprisoned her in the house. He did not provide her with cash, visa or working visa. This sounds like quite a lot of abuse and injustice towards Komal Rizvi.

She also mentioned that he once gave her a black eye and her father showed up to the scene as well. The husband had a tight hold on her daily ongoing and this was a huge source of demotivation for her. Marriage is a binding contract and it means something. If one side is being abusive, it is not a healthy marriage. Omar, the husband, was wrong to do what he did and had no right to do so. Komal Rizvi also said she was not allowed to go anywhere and that she quietly started a cooking business. Eventually, she was able to gather enough to buy deep freezers too.

Supporting Effort

We stand with Komal Rizvi for all that she has endured during her last marriage. Six years can be a long time when it is with someone who does not respect or appreciate you for who you are. We hope that she is doing better now and continues to dazzle the film world with her talent. It takes quite a lot of effort to be able to break society’s chains.

With what she has done, Komal Rizvi has definitely shattered the meaning of giving up and continues to be a role model for women everywhere. We wish her the best of luck for her future plans and hope she makes it even higher in her profession.

Here’s the full interview

Mezan Rekindles The Essence of Islam In Their New Ramadan Campaign

Ramadan Campaign

You know the brand has put in effort when a Ramadan TVC is not entirely revolving around the preparation of iftar, as the cliche usually requires. Mezan’s latest Ramadan campaign is far away from the cliche and yet, it is able to rekindle Ramadan’s essence within the viewer in a powerful way. Featuring a Naat as the TVC’s audio, the ad is a compilation of various lessons that Ramadan aims to re-instill within the Muslim community.

#MezanRamadan TVC

The lessons in the TVC are taught with the help of numerous instances involving a number of people. As you go through these instances, they make an emotional impact on you for it tells you that being a good human does not take a lot of effort. It is simple things that you need to look out for. If you are good and kind at heart, you will help a speechless animal that’s hurting; you will care for a needy neighbor; you will put someone else’s needs above you.

Image Source: YouTube

Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) Teachings

All these lessons are deeply rooted in the Islamic teachings for they are what the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) taught to us.

“Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.” (Al-Tirmizi)

“He is not a believer whose neighbor is hungry.” (Sahi Bukhari)

“Best charity is that given by one who has little.” (Sunan Abi Dawood)

Image Source: YouTube

But what really moves one in this TVC is that when you do follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and show to Allah that you are genuine, you are rewarded with peace, inner happiness, and above all, someone else will always reciprocate your good deeds.

So for instance, look at the examples shown in the TVC. There is a man in the desert who treats a goat that’s hurt. Then there is a fisherman, who gives what he scored at the sea to his hungry neighbors. Last, but not least, we see a young child who chooses to donate his pocket money instead of getting a ball he really wanted.

Image Source: YouTube

You get it all back

In the follow-up scenes, we see Shoaib Akhtar entering the canvas, a former cricketer known for his talent of bowling. The kid who had to let go of his desire for cricket ball gets to play with Shoaib Akhtar. The man who was a kind neighbor gets to eat at the same table with the star. And the shepherd who had tended to the goat, when he felt cold, it was the celebrity who saw that and reciprocated by giving him not only his own shawl but also his time.

Have a look at the ad!

This initiative is the most beautiful one as of yet amongst other Ramadan campaigns. It highlights the essence of Ramadan and serves as a wake-up call to many Muslims who think that to be a good Muslim requires a lot of effort. Instead, it just requires you to genuinely respect the Prophet (PBUH), and when you have that genuine respect, the good comes out of you almost naturally. You need not overdo yourself because at the end of the day #HarCheezMezanMeinAchiLagtiHai.
