The internet is a weird place. It is doubtful that you do not come across something weird every once in a while. Whether it is a video of a man spitting while making rotis or some people spotting a Shahid Afridi’s lookalike, it is impossible that you stay online and not come across something completely random out of the blue every once in a while.

Twitter Spots A Lady Who Looks Just Like Shoaib Akhtar

A woman’s video is making rounds on social media, which is being referred to as the female Shoaib Akhtar. In the viral video, a woman can be seen posing funnily while imitating our parents’ old vintage pictures.

The lady who goes by the username @omgvinita is a frequent TikToker who is more of a social media personality with her presence on Youtube, Facebook, and other major social media platforms.

While many Pakistanis and sports enthusiasts identified the similarities between Shoaib Akhtar’s and Vinita’s pictures, a quick-scroll through her profile would reveal that the similarities are confined to certain TikTok videos only.

As per the information listed on her website, Vinita Khilnani is an aspiring actress and a director. She has worked in a few movies and has a significant presence on Tik Tok and other social media platforms.

More Pictures And Videos Of “Shoaib Akhtar’s Lookalike”

As per Vinita’s Instagram bio, she has been Miss India North America in the year 2018. Based in Los Angeles, United States, she gets immense praise and love for her funny videos that get her thousands of views and likes on her posts.

Times When Shoaib Akhtar Was Unafraid Of Speaking His Mind:

Even though Twitter identified her as someone whose facial features resemble that of Shoaib Akhtar, we could not come across a video where we could see Vinita lashing out at someone with her criticism like Shoaib Akhtar, who is unafraid of speaking his mind.

A few days ago, the Rawalpindi Express was under severe criticism for his disapproval of the Pakistan Super League’s Official Anthem. He has also been extremely vocal about his comments outside of cricket and even bashed Pakistan’s advertisement industry. The fast bowler’s life and career have not been shy of controversies and have been under the spotlight for a really long time for his boldness.

What do you think about the resemblance between Shoaib Akhtar and Vinita? Let us know under the comments below.

Khalil Ur Rehman Under Fire Again For Abusing A Female Panelist

Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar, the famous writer of Mere Paas Tum Ho, Pyarey Afzal, and a few more blockbuster dramas, has made news once again for another feminism-related issue. Some time ago, he was invited to a television show. A well-known social worker, Marvi Sarmad, was also a guest on the show. And in that show, Khalil Ur Rehman and Marvi had quite a showdown where the former used abusive language on the live show.

Khalil Ur Rehman – Women’s Issues

The whole issue became the talk of the town, and the channel allegedly canceled other contracts with Khalil. Given that the rest of his dramas were focused on romance and only one on betrayal by a woman, it feels dumb to get him to talk about women empowerment or women issues. He clearly does not fit in the profile of someone who could talk about what women feel; his gender does not allow him. You know how some men are; they think they are the patrons of highlighting women’s issues. The issues they want to talk about are what they categorize as issues. It is a similar case with Khalil Ur Rehman.

So, this time again, he was invited to talk about women’s issues

The recent controversy

Amidst the social workers, Naheed Baig and Ailia Zehra, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar was invited. The host addressed Khalil asking him what he thinks about the trend in some areas where underage girls are being married off even though the legal marriageable age is 16.

Khalil began answering but made an offensive and triggering comment towards the social workers claiming that their statements were anti-Quranic, ‘so they better shut their mouth.’ Offended at being targeted through religion, she spoke up. Ailia clarified then and there that she said no such thing that could be anti-Islamic. But being cut off mid-way was more triggering for the man who got up and walked out of a live television show.

Ailia took it to Twitter, telling the public how, as he walked out, he called her a RAW agent and ‘spewed sexist slurs’.

Twitter Reactions

Once again, seeing Khalil on their social media, people started reacting to the tweet.

Indeed, one should not interrupt another while saying their piece, but it is also wrong to comment on someone’s religious beliefs.

Man Caught Spitting While Making Roti Leaves People Disgusted

Hygiene is essential when it comes to food. And if you do something even remotely disgusting that compromises on it, action needs to be taken. But before all that, doing something disgusting to something as sacred as food, isn’t that a crime against humanity? But it seems that this has become the new norm considering it was just this week that we came across Strawberry Biryani. Today, it was a man caught spitting on roti; I mean, who does that?

Meerut Uttar Pradesh

The incident is said to have happened last week on February 16th, in Uttar Pradesh, a province in India. A wedding was taking place in Aroma Garden. And as the recent trend goes, some of the wedding food is made in front of the guests. Mostly, that includes making rotis, naan, and desi snacks like Pani puri and chaat. At Aroma Garden, the caterers were making rotis right at the spot near where the guests sat.

The man went about rolling the dough and putting it in tandoor as usual, but a guest nearby noticed something unusual. Apparently, the man was intentionally spitting on each roti before putting it in the heated tandoor.

The disgusting viral video

Disgusted to the core, we are guessing, the guest took a video to put it up on social media. Netizens got access to it, and it instantly went viral where they started tagging Meerut Police because the jurisdiction of Aroma Garden fell into their hands.

Being tagged numerous times, the police department took notice. They tracked the man in the video and made an arrest.

What now?

While this is all well and good, it does lead to a meaningful conversation. If this man was so confident about what he was doing, it means that there must be others who have such notions about cooking methods.

And this man was caught because the guests saw him, but how many others must be doing something similar and not get caught just because that happens behind closed doors?

Investing In Cryptocurrency:

It seems to be the highest touching trend of today. There is not a moment when Twitter isn’t exploding with news about bitcoin or some other similar currency. There are so many new cryptocurrency variants, that people are being persuaded to invest in them. However, it is recommended that you invest in the most promising ones, rather than random ones.

Bitcoin is one that sees a constant flux throughout the year. It rises up above in certain months, in value, while it falls in other ones. Now, when Elon Musk suddenly decided to take interest in it, it rose way beyond its limits. Bitcoin has never been higher and suddenly; everybody wants a piece of it. It seems like a digital gold rush.

A New Academic Program By LUMS:

In light of Cryptocurrency becoming more common, academia has decided to show an interest in it. Specifically, LUMS has decided to launch a new program. This academic program will be focused and encompassed around cryptocurrency and its details. You will dive into the program and find yourself learning quite a lot of new stuff.

The course intends to keep its focus on blockchain as well as other emerging markets and areas. This will not only bring about new business models but also bring a new era of novel distributed applications. This new development will also fuel efforts for advocating crypto regulations in Pakistan as early as possible.

Through social media, we can even notice how Waqar Zaka plays into this whole scene. He is often seen discussing matters related to Cryptocurrency. He can be a learning point too.

We hope that the academic program, from LUMS, can be quite successful in its coming years. Let us see exactly how many people decide to enroll for it. There will have to be new faculty and course objectives. These are new waters and not everyone is prepared for them.

Out-Of-Home Advertisement, commonly referred to as OOH Advertisement has been the oldest means of advertisement and is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of conventional advertisement. Despite the emergence of digital marketing, OOH advertisement is has been growing at an exponential rate due to its impact and visibility.

Kinetic Pakistan and The Scope Of OOH Advertisement

Kinetic Pakistan is one of the pioneers of Out-Of-Home advertisement in Pakistan and currently holds the majority market share. It is currently the only Out-Of-Home Media agency in Pakistan to have international affiliation and has worked with some of the biggest national and multi-national companies in Pakistan.

Ahsan Sheikh who is credited as a well-reputed marketing and advertisement professionals of the Pakistani industry is currently the CEO of Kinetic Pakistan and holds pride in revolutionizing the way OOH Advertisement is perceived in our country and was the first one to introduce the integrated data-based OOH agency model into our country.

Even though brands were skeptical at first to invest in OOH advertisement due to its legality-related and legislative issues, Kinetic Pakistan has emerged as a pioneer and stood-out by using unconventional and Digital OOH Advertisement model for the benefit of the clients as well as the city by directly or indirectly contributing towards the advertisement space.

Kinetic

The Emergence Of Digital OOH Advertisement In Pakistan:

Many people think of Digital OOH advertisement as something that has a limited scope however the reality is quite different. As per the data revealed by official sources, the digital Out-Of-Home advertisement grew by over 58% in 2019 whereas 15% in 2020 from its preceding year in Pakistan despite COVID-19 Lockdown which shows how much the companies are focusing on the digital medium as part of the new marketing wave.

Currently, Kinetic Pakistan holds over 40% of the Digital OOH market-share of Pakistan and has worked with the likes of Coca-Cola, Jazz, Nestle, Unilever, McDonald’s and many other local and multinational brands which is a demonstration of the success under the leadership of Ahsan Sheikh.

Before Kinetic Pakistan, many brands and marketers believed that OOH was confined to billboards, and were focused on low-cost service providers while ignoring Global OOH industry standards for evaluation. However, after the advent of Kinetic Pakistan and its integrated and strategic approach to OOH, the industry felt the impact and the true potential of Conventional & Digital OOH along with new Unconventional mediums were explored.

Even though the industry has been able to grow enormously in a small amount of time, Kinetic Pakistan believes there is still a lot of potential and growth awaiting to be explored especially in the Digital Out-Of-Home industry in Pakistan.

According to Hassan Gondal, COO – Kinetic Pakistan “We at Kinetic being the market leader feel responsible to spearhead the growth and maximize the potential of the industry. We have been doing that by continuously innovating and creating contextual, dynamic and programmatic campaigns through the use of digital and unconventional mediums. We have been redefining the scope of OOH by bridging the gap between online and offline audiences, strategic touchpoint development, social media integration in OOH and bringing in the global best practices.”

Chinese company Huawei has faced a lot of problems after being banned by the United States following the controversy which revealed the company violating international sanctions. Even though the company was one of the biggest competitors in the smartphone industry, its position has plunged significantly after the controversy.

Huawei FreeBuds 4i – The Latest Wireless Earphones

Huawei launched its wireless earphones recently which unfortunately did not gain the attention it deserved. The company has provided a budget-friendly alternative while ensuring to retain most of the features that make the wireless earphones standout.

Image Source: Huawei Central

The FreeBuds 4i has officially released in China and are available on the official website. They cost 499 Yuan which is equivalent to approximately $76.

Features & Specifications Of Huawei FreeBuds 4i

Last year, the company launched FreeBuds 3i which provided up to 10 hours of music playback without interruption along with noise-cancellation. Noise cancellation has been really valued by avid headphones/earphones users who prefer to wear the earbuds while commuting, running or walking as it helps them minimize the background noise.

The earphones are lightweight which means they do not get too heavy on the ears and have an excellent grip on the ears of their users. The earbuds come with a storage box that is also lightweight, portable and also works as a charging case for the earbuds. As per the claims, a 10-minute charge is capable of delivering playback for 4 hours.

The earphones come in four colors; Honey Red, Ceramic White and Carbon Crystal Black.

They are also capable of automatically pairing with the device within a few seconds and have touch control sensors that make it easy for its users to attend calls or pause and play their music.

All these features make the Huawei FreeBuds 4i one of the best choices to opt for in a significantly lower budget however Huawei is yet to reveal when the product will be released outside of China.

Skin is a combination of your environment, your genetics and the care you give it. However, while many of those are not in our control, your diet definitely is. You must have heard, “your skin is what you eat” and it could not be more true.

Here’s the lowdown on foods that could damage your skin. Beware, it’s about to get sad!

1. Deep-Fried Food

Deep frying any food can make it taste the best but it can affect your complexion. Deep-fried products can lead to excessive oil production in your skin. This makes it a fertile ground for acne and other inflammations in your skin. Skip it whenever possible!

2. Cheese

Cheese is the best life has to offer and it is healthy sometimes. However, it is in fact a dairy product that can increase oil production and lead to blocked pores. This further leads to blackheads and breakouts.

3. Coffee

Avoid large amounts of caffeine— they can dehydrate and dry the skin. Some coffee drinks have more caffeine than others so you need to be wary of what you’re consuming. If you do decide to enjoy a caffeinated cup, make sure you follow up with some hydration to keep your skin plump.

4. Donuts

Dermatologists advise that it’s important to avoid sugary treats like doughnuts, cookies and other high-glycemic foods. According to them, sugar glycated collagen. Sugar can thus stiffen and age your skin prematurely. Don’t want to look older than your age? Drop that doughnut like a hot plate!

5. Milk

It’s time to bust the myth that milk is an all-good, all-miraculous food that fixes everything. Milk contains precursors to testosterone and other androgens, which influence the hormone receptors in the skin. They lead to the processes of acne being encouraged within your skin.

6. Pasta

It seems our Italian dreams will have to wait. Pasta is high glycemic index food which makes it hard for the body’s immune system to attack the bacteria that cause acne.

7. Soda

Soda has crazy amounts of added sugar which can wreak havoc on your skin. Added or artificial sugar is the most aging element in any of the foods we consume and soda is full of it. In fact, soda is just added sugar! It can make your skin lackluster too.

8. Fruit Juice

Although fruits are a healthy calorie source, fruit juices are not all too good. When you make a juice, all the fiber from the fruit gets extracted, leaving behind a dense concentration of insulin-spiking sugar. Don’t think opting for fresh juice as opposed to soda is any better!

Since its a technology park, the goal of the company is that it will enable a high-tech platform and infrastructure for the IT companies that will, in the long term, boost productivity.

It is high time that Karachi is getting its first technology park considering India ad the Philippines already have multiple technology parks that have positively boosted the IT industry in terms of productivity and efficiency. Moreover, since most of Pakistan’s IT companies and software houses are in the big cities of the country, these cities should have IT parks by now.

Other IT parks

Amongst those cities is Islamabad, the capital city. It already has a designated technological zone. Meanwhile, further work is being done at the government level to promote this sector, so it’s able to fulfill not only local but also international demands.

Meanwhile, a Chinese firm has announced an industrial Park for Lahore. The park will house fabric units, dyeing facilities, and garment manufacturing units, all focusing on export material sportswear to the regions including the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

With the addition of a technology park to Pakistan’s biggest city, hopefully, Karachi will see changes for the better. And it will have a better positioning in terms of export at the international level.

Is wearing necklaces of other religions the new trend nowadays? It seems it is and Sarwat Gillani has also jumped on the bandwagon now.

What’s The Cross For?

The Churails’ star was the host for FPW21 and was dressed for the occasion in a  monochrome outfit. Though Sarwat Gillani has always remained a class apart with her sophisticated fits, it seems it has always been the work of stylists only.

There is a new stylist in town – Mona Rameez – who styled her for the event in such a way that Gillani has become the source of trolling. As part of her accessories, Sarwat Gillani was wearing a large cross of Christianity on her neck. Naturally, people aren’t pleased and have much to say!

The Outfit In Question:

What Are People Saying?

The netizens have not come down slow when it comes to expressing their opinion over it. They are not only extremely upset about her wearing the necklace on its own, but many are also upset over how disrespectful it is. 

Rihanna has recently been called out by the whole of India for wearing the Ganesh god’s necklace. Is Sarwat Gillani deserving and most importantly, ready to be called out by the majority of the west who is a Christian?

The cross necklace is not an accessory— it has value and sentiments and sacrality attached to it.

The Comments Coming In:

Are Celebrities Puppets?

It is very likely that the responsibility for this act will be shifted onto the stylist. It always has been whenever any celebrity has come under fire for any one of their outfits. But that compels us to ponder over the question that is celebrities merely puppets whose strings are pulled by stylists?

The responsibility for this disrespect must also be borne by Sarwat Gillani herself who agreed to wear that.

Fall From Grace

First, Sarwat Gillani was widely praised for her progressive role in the drama series Churails. However, after that, she was heavily criticized for her statement that “I don’t believe I’m a feminist”. People were appalled by the ignorance and hypocrisy in the statement. 

Now it seems the start has landed in hot waters again with this act and we’re wondering whether Gillani is experiencing a fall from grace.

Is Apple Getting Rid Of Its Wired Chargers?

Apple Announces Replacement Program for iphone 11

[Update]: iPhone users may relate to the statement that more than using their phones, they have to charge them. And they would also not be strangers to how fragile the wired chargers are. Well, it is time to say goodbye to the troubles those wires presented us with, apparently. No more tearing away Apple chargers. 

The tech giant is looking into creating a battery pack that will magnetically connect to the charger. This service is initially focused on Apple 12, the device that launched in October 2020. So, well, the company will have another add-on to sell away.

The magnet will be installed at the back of the iPhone with the aid of the MagSafe System. It is the same system that helps in pairing other Apple accessories such as its wallets. It is being said that the charger had not yet been released due to technological issues. It was being said that the device was initially facing issues if the users were switching between wired and wireless chargers. Moreover, the battery pack was also overheating. 

Could these challenges lead to the accessory not launching? It would look very cool was it to release, though.

 

[Dec 9th, 2020]: Apple is a company that continues to rise with each passing month. Many products have been released over the year, and all of them are definitely worth the investment. It started with the iPhone 12 and has moved towards the new Apple Silicon. Apple’s performance statistics have been so impressive; they are giving Microsoft computers a tough competition.

Whether it is smartphones or a mac, Apple has not seen a decline in its performance or quality. Since Apple usually does not go on sales where other products do, this gives one a sense that the company only deals in the flagship. It is a different story when people buy second-hand, but even then, Apple iPhones are not any less. In light of this, Apple has announced a replacement program for specific faulty iPhone 11 Units!

Apple Moves Up

Since Steve Jobs stood at the podium and altered the world’s geography, he has been seen as a legend. His legacy, this company he left behind, did not completely go into the ground. Instead, the complete opposite happened! 2020 has been one of Apple’s best years, and it seems that 2021 will be no different, either! It seems some good things came out of the ‘Stay At Home’ era.

Now, Apple has announced a new replacement program. If you have an iPhone 11 between September 2019 and May 2020 and have a recurring screen issue, it can be replaced. How about that? A free screen replacement! Break out that iPhone 11 of yours and check if the screen does need replacement.

The Replacement Program

Apple has mentioned that the iPhone 11 units between the time mentioned above were developed with a fault. This involved a touch screen, which had some issues. Users who bought the phone then experienced these issues, causing them a bad iPhone experience. If you had a phone between that time, iPhone 11, check your serial number.

The serial number will tell you if you’re eligible to apply for the program. If you are, an Apple-authorized service provider will replace your iPhone 11 screen for free of cost. However, Apple has mentioned that it may restrict or limit repair to the original country or region of purchase.

A Future Of Technology

One of the things this shows about Apple is that they care about their long-time customers. The fact that they’re starting a program to repair their older phones for free shows dedication. They are not abandoning their customers as the era moves forward. Just because iPhone 12 was a success does not mean that iPhone 11 has to be disregarded.

The presence of such a program shows that they may announce other programs too. Apple can rewind further back and check older models of other products too. Maybe there is an iPad fault they haven’t checked yet. Hold on to your Apple products because you never know when you may have a replacement opportunity of sorts.
