healthy problems — Image Source: Beverage Daily

You may think that only alcoholic drinks are bad for you. But that is the biggest lie that you can tell yourself. Or maybe you are trying to make yourself feel better because it’s hard to leave some of the other non-alcoholic drinks you are addicted to. But if you are drinking them because you don’t have an idea that they can lead to health problems, well, here we are, compiling a list for you.

Below are the five drinks that are very dangerous for you in terms of leading up to health problems, so if you want to abandon them, now is the time.

1. One Cup of Juice

Some people say that juice is healthy. And if the processed juice isn’t, then the freshly squeezed one definitely is. The problem, however, is that when you get down to squeezing the fruit into a cup, you don’t squeeze just one piece. Instead, you have to fill the cup with at least 3 to four of the fruits. So you are taking in 4 times the calories, but you still do not feel full. Now, were you to eat the fruit, you would be able to take in the pulp and the fiber as well.

2. Soda

You may assume your carbonated drinks to be the only kind of soda. But there are many more that are qualified to be on the list. Any 500 milli-liter soda that has 13 teaspoons of sugar is bad. We should limit our sugar intake to 5 or 6 teaspoons of sugar daily.

3. Premixed alcohol

You have premixed alcohol cocktails such as daiquiris, sour-mix, and Pina Coladas. They include weird preservatives. Moreover, they also include sugar from mixers. Basically, after having the drink, you will be super thirsty. If you still want the drink, go for making your own instead of putting it in the mixer.

4. Protein Shakes

The rule is, ‘drink your water and eat your proteins.’ Do not turn it around, and try drinking your proteins. Such a drink is only helpful to an Olympic-level athlete, maybe. And even though loaded with sugar, they taste just like glue. So you want something healthy for your body, go for eggs, fish, chicken instead of protein shakes.

5. Sports Drinks

Again, just like protein shakes, if you are not an athlete, you do not need sports drinks. Sports drinks are usually used as electrolyte replacements so the athletes can stay on top of their game. Non-athletes should stick with water. That, my friends, is the safest bet.

Do let us know if you think there are more non-healthy drinks we should include here.

Google Releases New Video Editor Which Offers More Control Over Footage

Google Releases New Video Editor Which Offers More Control Over Footage — Image Source: Google

Last year, Google added additional photo editing features to its Google Photos. Now the tech giant is expanding its expertise and is also introducing new video editing features for its users.

What Features Does The New Update Offers?

The latest update of Google Photos has now more than 30 options for the users, which enables cropping, changing perspective, stabilizing the visuals, and apply filters to increase the aesthetic appeal and quality of the visuals.

The users of this app will also be able to adjust the brightness, contrasts, and saturation of the videos alongside their warmth and make it as convenient as editing an image. If you are not equipped with the skills or are not familiar with premium video editing software, Google Photos would be an excellent place for you to start editing videos.

In addition to all these video editing features, the company is also adding photo editing features to Google Photos in the premium version that was previously available for Google Pixel smartphone users exclusively.

Google announced that it’s Google One subscribers will be able to access super-filters, which are complex editing adjustments added onto visuals with a single tap. It is recommended to use a device with 3GB RAM and have Android 8.0 and above in order to make the best use of all these features.

The Unconventional Video Editor, Making Video-Editing Easy

Video editing is normally considered as complex by the users but Google, which is known to create intelligent programs and integrate algorithms has made this process extremely easy, especially for smartphone users. Although the company is leading in providing innovation to its users, we’ll have to see how it actually turns out for its users and what the company has in store for us.

Normally, it would take people hours and even days to edit a photo via heavy, high-quality, and premium video-editing software that was only capable of running on heavy computers or laptops, however with Google Photos, this is expected to change.

Last year, the company’s services crashed due to some malfunctioning which pulled the plug from its major services for a brief amount of time all around the world. The company bounced back after Google had good news in its latest update for its users last week contrary to Facebook, which got into some major controversies, earlier this year due to its ambiguous privacy protocols and policies.

Minal Khan Celebrates Ahsan’s Dadi’s Birthday, Gets Criticized

Feb 12, 2021

Minal Khan took to her Instagram, posting stories of how she went to Ahsan Mohsin’s grandmother’s birthday. She even brought a cake for her. Ahsan’s father, Mohsin Ikram, made numerous videos that he put on his Instagram account. She looked cute in simple casual wear with a jacket. The actress greeted Ahsan’s grandmother, lovingly calling her ‘dadi.’

Minal Khan celebrates dadi’s birthday.

They had an assortment of dishes on the table that Ahsan’s whole family and Minal enjoyed on dadi’s birthday. She seemed as happy as they were to see her. With her pictures on the internet, it seems she had a friendly conversation with the dadi.

A post shared by Mohsin Ikram (@mohsinikram1964)

Internet trolls against the actress

But as critics are, they find reasons to criticize others. And so they saw anything and everything to criticize her over. While some people living under a stone were asking, ‘wasn’t she engaged to someone else?’, others thought she was buttering up her future grandmother-in-law. Some wanted to answer trolls, on the other hand, by making up excuses themselves—the rumored that Minal khan and Ahsan Mohsin were known to be engaged at Aiman Khan’s wedding. Well, only the invitees know the truth.

Some trolls were harsher than others. They brought up how she lost her father, and instead of mourning, she was celebrating. It just said when people remind them about their losses when they are clearly trying to move on. And losing a parent is the hardest, so instead of encouraging them to forward in life, all they want to say is that the twin sisters prioritize celebrations over mourning for the father.

Few other trolls made it a socioeconomic class issue by saying that it is the rich who get to celebrate not just their significant other’s birthdays but also their grandparents’.

We should be more loving and caring for people because someone who has lost a loved one only knows what grief is.

Feb 12, 2021

The day of love is going to be upon us in the blink of an eye, but the pandemic isn’t over yet. Here’s how you can celebrate love without violating SOPs:

1. Distanced Love

Instead of meeting with everyone you love today, send them something to their home. It can be purchased from a store, given the vast number of bundles available for valentine’s day. Or you could always cook up a storm in the kitchen and send it packed!

Nothing makes people’s hearts warm as much as a gesture does, and this is it!

2. Value The Written Word

In the midst of a pandemic, don’t underestimate the value of the written word. Write your loved ones a letter or post it to them— go old school!

3. Netflix Party

Most Valentine Days are also spent at home watching the good ol’ chick flicks. If you’re one of those who have always loved this activity, you can have a party with Netflix party! Watch the movie together and keep chatting about it in the chatbox— it comes pretty close to the real deal.

4. Outdoor Settings

If you trust yourself and others to be responsible enough to meet, only meet outdoors! Outdoor spaces can allow people to be spaced out. Moreover, there will be fewer surfaces that can get contaminated and spread the germ. You could always have a picnic!

5. Take-away on Valentine’s Day

For those at home who want to celebrate this day with family at home, you can always have a take-away day! Most restaurants offer takeaway deals that you can grab, and we all know, eating in is the new eating out.

Audi's Most Powerful And Sustainable Electric Vehicle Revealed — Image Source: Guide Auto

The automotive industry has been going through some major innovations. An industry that used to focus on the car’s performance and built of the car is now moving towards sustainability and eco-friendly features. Companies are known to make petrol or diesel engine-related cars and focused more on features like acceleration, speed, and design are more inclined to shift towards sustainability.

e-Tron GT & RS e-Tron GT, The Most Powerful Electric Vehicles By Audi

Audi AG, which is well-known for being one of the best German automakers that manufacture luxury vehicles, has recently entered the electric vehicles market. The company has been credited for integrating luxury with performance giving its consumers the ultimate performance that German cars globally know.

Rethink limitations. Go beyond the expected.

— Audi (@AudiOfficial) February 11, 2021

Electric vehicles are thought of as automobiles that compromise performance and speed by focusing on fuel consumption and sustainable options. Still, Audi’s e-Tron GT is expected to change this narrative.

Audi has released the e-Tron GT and RS e-Tron GT, which are electric cars fully capable of running through electricity. Experts say that this move might have been influenced after German automaker Porsche, known for its high-performance sportscar, released an electric car named, Taycan. Taycan also provides a sustainable option to automobile enthusiasts alongside high performance too.

The e-Tron GT models are coupes with four doors that are energized by two electric motors. The e-Tron GT Quattro has a horsepower of 476, which enables the car to reach 0 to 100 km/hr within 4.1 seconds.

Audi RS e-tron GT: Power consumption combined: 20.2-19.3 kWh/100km (NEDC); 22.5-20.6 kWh/100km (WLTP); CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km. Information on fuel/electricity consumption and CO2 emissions in ranges depending on the equipment and accessories of the car.

— Audi (@AudiOfficial) February 11, 2021

The second variant, named RS e-Tron GT, has the capacity to reach 0.62 mph within only 3.3 seconds, leveling itself to Ferrari’s 458, for context.

Additional Environmental-Friendly And Sustainable Options

Audi has gone the extra mile for its customers and has introduced leather-free options for its customers by providing an interior made with recycled materials and carbon-neutral production.

The car is being hailed as one of the best sports-cars powered by electricity and features a futuristic look, which makes the car stand out from a conventional sports car.

The e-Tron GT Quattro pricing is expected to cost £79,900, whereas the RS e-Tron GT will cost £110,950, excluding the additional features or variants that Audi may offer.

Korean automaker Hyundai is also launching EV vehicles by 2022 alongside all these cars expected to release later this year.

Zaid Ali recently revealed that he and his wife Yumna are expecting a baby, and the internet went into a frenzy. Now, this reel has only added to people’s excitement!

Reel To Die For

Zaid Ali is, after all, a social media sensation. If there is anyone who has a firm grip over incredible social media content, it’s him! Zaid Ali and Yumna Zaidi have made a reel about their baby, and it’s the cutest thing you will see today.

Reels are like short Insta-based videos, and Zaid Ali created one in which he’s expressing his happiness and excitement for his soon-to-be-born baby. It shows him first standing alone and then in a fantastic transition, Bollywood style, Yumna comes into his arms.

Clad in a pink saree amidst the cold backdrop, Yumna looks beyond gorgeous. The two were all smiles as they shot the reel and await their baby!

People Love It and Them

Zaid Ali may have haters, given that he is a public figure, but his fan base is humongous. The vlogger has rallied an army of faithful and supportive fans who have treated his happiness as their own. Naturally, this reel had loads and loads of cute, supportive, and happy comments. Here’s how people reacted:

Gender Reveal?

A comment saying, “that’s one way to do a gender reveal,” has caught our eye. Could this be that the couple is hinting at the gender of their baby? Gender reveals have become somewhat of a norm in Western culture, and they are a whole event.

People suspect that Yumna’s choice of color for her saree is more than just the vibe she was going with. What do you think?

The Announcement

A few days before Zaid Ali announced that they’re expecting, he uploaded a video with his wife on which several people asked about “Baby Zaid.” We’re Pakistanis; after all, we don’t feel shame in asking this question! However, the vlogger replied to it, saying “very soon,” which left many wondering.

Just a few days after he dropped this bomb on his Internet community in the most adorable manner. Not only is the couple’s own video just bursting with joy at the seams, but they also uploaded reactions of their family members. That included his mother, his sister and brother-in-law, and many others! The videos are the most heartwarming thing to see today because their faces beam up like anything.

COVID-19: Good News For People Who Have Been Fully Vaccinated

By

-

Feb 12, 2021

[Update]: We have adjusted to the new normal to quite some degree, at least. There have been restrictions on traveling, the workforce has been made to adjust, and well, there has been lesser physical activity out on the streets, comparatively. This was because when someone caught covid or was in the vicinity of someone suspected of it, they were to quarantine themselves to stop its further spread.

Well, not anymore!

It turns out that the people who have received the vaccination for coronavirus (two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna) can skip the quarantine requirement. So even if you meet up with a suspected COVID patient, you don’t have to go into social isolation. Of course, they shouldn’t stop taking precautions. But to be eligible for this, you need to have the two shots with a two-week gap as it takes this much time for the immunity to develop after the second shot. The recipients of the vaccine will need to watch their symptoms to see how they react to it.

CDC guidelines

CDC said:

“This recommendation to waive quarantine for people with vaccine-derived immunity aligns with quarantine recommendations for those with natural immunity, which eases implementation.”

CDC also said that even after being vaccinated, people could be the carriers of the virus and convey it to others, so it’s better to exercise all precautions.

They further stated that:

“At this time, vaccinated persons should continue to follow current guidance to protect themselves and others, including wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet away from others, avoiding crowds, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often…”, among other guidelines given by CDC and other organizations.

Pakistan has faced severe impacts of the coronavirus. The global pandemic has caused a lot of burden on the already exhausted health sector, whereas many people lost their jobs due to the increase in unemployment.

The Arrival Of COVID Vaccine In Pakistan:

As per the National Command And Control Center (NCOC) announcement, Pakistan is expected to have its first batch of vaccines by 31st January 2021. The NCOC has also announced that the strategy to get people vaccinated has already been strategized and implemented.

As per the details revealed by sources so far, Pakistan is expected to have Russia’s Sputnik 5, China’s Sinopharm, and UK’s Oxford-AstraZeneca approved by the government officials would be ordered by Pakistan for their Covid-19 vaccinations.

How Can You Get Yourself Registered for COVID Vaccine?

If you intend to register yourself for the vaccination, you’d need to follow the steps listed below.

Step 1:

Message your CNIC number to 1166 through SMS or go to NIMS website to register yourself

Step 2:

After being verified, the citizen would be designated a location referred to as the “AVC” (Adult Vaccination Center), and a PIN code would be sent to you via text message.

Step 3:

If the location of your designated Adult Vaccination Center is way too far from your tehsil, you can get it changed by getting in touch with the helpline 1166 within five days of receiving your text message.

Step 4:

After the vaccine arrives at the AVC, the citizen would be required to go to the designated AVC to get vaccinated as per the instructed date along with his/her original CNIC.

Step 5:

On the appointment date, the person would be required to visit the AVC with their CNIC and PIB code, which is a mandatory requirement.

Step 6:

After getting verified via the PIN and the CNIC, the person would get vaccinated for the COVID-19 and remain there for the next 30 minutes to be monitored.

The website would also show real-time dashboards for federal, provincial, and district health departments, which would be updated automatically.

It is a relief that things are finally looking good, and it is hoped that the situation would get back to normal. With everyone wearing masks and quarantining and socially distancing for almost a year now, we’re excited about how things would turn out if we come out of the pandemic soon and get back to our everyday lives.

Have you registered yourself for the vaccine yet? Let us know under the comments.

Punjab Doctor Sells New Born Baby To Cover Hospital Bills

Feb 12, 2021

Medical bills are very intimidating worldwide, and so when we hear about a few countries that do offer free medical treatment, we get impressed. So one can imagine what people go through in Pakistan when they see hospital bills considering a large population in the country lives on or beyond the poverty line. An incident related to just this happened in Punjab, specifically Tulamba.

Replacing newborn for hospital bills

A pregnant couple gave birth to a baby boy. The couple, however, were not able to pay the hospital bills. Upon this, it is being said that the doctor made an offer to the couple. He said they could sell the baby and pay off their bills. When they refused to sell their newborn, the doctor took the baby by force and sold him to the buyer.

The hospital tried putting pressure on the couple, so they do not take any legal action. They must have thought that poverty-stricken people will be easy to pressurize. However, they went to the police and filed a complaint against the doctor. The police were very quick in responding to the couple’s plea. They raided the hospital and arrested the doctor.

Swift action in such a situation is necessary, and it is admirable that the police did not hesitate in helping the poor couple out.

Edge new update by Microsoft — Image Source: Microsoft.com

The internet is home to quite a lot of different browsers. Google Chrome is considered as one of the most prime ones. It has a lot of features and abilities built into it. You cannot ever get lost when it comes to browsing with chrome. The browser itself rose up through the ranks over the years. It started off as quite a simple one but then bloomed into something more. People love it because of the amount of customization that it offers.

Similarly, Microsoft has a browser by the name of ‘Edge’. Its simplistic and quality feel gives it a rank quite high on the food chain. It used to have its lacking but now it is slowly growing into a widely acceptable browser. In a recent update, they have left the users amazed. The browser can now allow you to search though browser history much faster!

Browser new update for Microsoft — Image Source: currentware.com

Browsing Till Infinity:

There was once a video, by Vsauce, which stated how one can count past infinity. Like every one of their videos, this one was no less in blowing up the minds of the people. Circling back to browsers, there are often tough competitions between them. People have, quite literally, had verbal battles on Reddit over this topic. Threads of more than ten thousand commends are quite common. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge are all part of that debate.

Microsoft Edge is yet another swiftly rising browser. To improve its user experience, it sneaks in small details and updates occasionally. Where you might have seen something, it might be different the next time. Over time, they have managed to come up with quite an impressive form of a browser. The old internet explorer does not even hold a candle to this.

The New Edge Update:

So, what we wish to talk about today is this new update. Here is how you can check it out. This is available through the Edge Canary early access channel. They see the most amounts of new updates and development. All you have to do, is open your browser history list tab. Users of the Canary can now navigate through history with yet another search bar. Simply write the name or URL of the site and it’ll take you straight to it.

This seems like quite a useful application for people who are searching for their history with speed. Sometimes, you just have to know the name of the song you searched on Youtube. Maybe you clicked on a good song recommendation and cannot recall the name. This is an ingenious feature!

Microsoft Edge new update — Image Source: blogs.windows.com

More Updates:

This is not the only update we have seen recently. Microsoft Edge has really jacked up their user experience for the viewer. They are constantly updating the theme and look of the browser. According to statistics, the user base of Microsoft Edge is expected to overtake that of Mozilla Firefox. This is said to happen by the end of 2021.

We hope there is much more to see in regards of browser updates.

We are all aware of the stunts that Apple tends to pull occasionally. These are, in no way, done in a negative light. Apple is known for the innovative minds that power its very core. They are leaving behind a legacy worthy of being called Steve Job’s work.

He is considered as one of the most sought after personalities of the century. His story has shocked and amazed a whole sea of population. He hit high and took significant risks when trying to attempt the impossible. They did not become what they are overnight. Do you know that Steve Jobs was also fired from his own company? He then established a whole animation company now known as ‘Pixar.’T

Theyear 2020 has been quite an interesting one for Apple. They have released a new phone as well as other new products!

The Leak:

As we already know, Apple is not one to showcase itself as a subtle company. When they move forward with something, they go big on it. Whether you are an Apple fan or not, you may still be amazed at what they can accomplish. The pandemic hit the world last year, and they held an online-only event. This, in no way, stopped the heights that the company attained after the release.

Smartphones is not the only domain that the company has entered, though. There is now news for fast development on an Apple car and powerful processors for Apple computers. It almost feels like Apple Is becoming the Disney of the tech world. Of course, there are other titans, but Apple is one impressive one. So, what is this leak?

The Flip iPhone:

In a recent video circulating online, we see a leak by Apple. It seems they are working on the prototype of a flip phone! Yes, the same ones that Samsung and Motorola have both released. The design of the phone was initially unclear. However, there is confirmation that Apple is going for the clamshell design. It is more convenient for the user and more comfortable to navigate with.

We are not sure of a lot of details about the phone, though. However, we do know that the earliest we can expect the release of this flip iPhone is next year. Yes, there is quite a lot to be done on it as we hear that development on the phone is at a gradual pace. The company stating that the phone will be available in many colors points towards something. It signifies that maybe the price of the phone will be affordable to the general public.

Apple Innovations:

It will be quite interesting to see how Apple can fit its technology within a flip iPhone. They managed to pack the iPhone 12 mini with quite a lot of power. It comes as no surprise that Apple is certainly moving forward in terms of innovations. A handful of companies can only match Their technological bounds.

We hope to see more development being done on this new flip iPhone, though.

From then on, she signed numerous Pakistani brands, phone networks, clothing, and smartphones, among others.

Was the news in the works since 2020 July?

What is interesting is that it is not a new thing that just happened. It was already in the works since last year’s July. In July, Esra had tagged Javed Afridi and said that there was good news she will be sharing soon. She also shared a picture of Peshawar, specifically the Islamia College, in the Instagram story.

This Malicious Android App Needs To Be Deleted From Your Phone

Android App With Millions Of Downloads Found To Be Malicious — Image Source: UnboxHow

With privacy and cyber-attacks becoming the center of the conversation, many companies, app developers, websites, and even governments are taking measures to protect themselves and their citizens from losing their data to hackers.

Android App With 10 Million Plus Downloads Found To Have Malware:

An android app with over 10 million-plus downloads named Barcode Scanner made by the developer, Lavabird, was malicious. The app was intended for smartphone users to scan barcodes with their smartphones and find information embedded in them.

The app was legitimate initially; however, several users reported ads being popped up out of nowhere around late December. Researchers and experts found that the update released on the Playstore in December 2020 had a code that included malware that infected the app users.

Google Play has been vigilant and has been scrutinizing its apps in the past; however, this app managed to get through the barrage of updates and infiltrate millions of android users’ phones.

Even though Google has removed the application from its Google Play App Store, the company is yet to use its Google Play Protect tool, a feature that enables the company to remove the app from the phones. The users will have to delete the app themselves manually.

The following details will help you identify if this app is installed on your phone as many people are mistaking the app with other applications on Google Play Store.

Security Precautions And Measures You Should Take To Be Vigilant:

Experts advise that smartphone users should be vigilant of the app they are installing on their phones and read the terms and conditions. It is also recommended to read the app’s permissions and its accessibility to your personal data.

The incident with Barcode Scanner is quite different from conventional cases. All these precautions would go into vain as the app itself was well-reputed, had good reviews, and was downloaded by millions of people who had a great experience with the application.

This Is Not The First Time Something Like This Has Occurred With Android

Last year it was reported that malware was able to steal data from banking apps of Android phones. In 2019, another malware was found to be affecting the military and government officials of Pakistan, and earlier that year, 25 million Android phones were compromised in a totally unrelated incident via WhatsApp.

Taimoor Salahuddin, aka Mooroo, has always been one of the most prominent vloggers of Pakistan. Here’s why this particular vlog of his is the subject of all headlines.

Ali Sadpara – Unsung Heroes

Ali Sadpara is the national hero we are currently collectively praying for. A mountaineer who has made Pakistan proud on several expeditions and has a host of ‘firsts’ under his belt is missing. In his greatest desire so far, to ascent the K2 in winters, he has been missing for 6 days now.

The saddest truth is that we have come to learn about him only after he went missing. Whilst he was alive and making Pakistan proud atop the highest peaks, he was relatively unknown. You can determine the kind of life he led by the dream he had for his wife— he wanted to buy her a sewing machine! Mooroo’s vlog celebrates him, an unsung hero of Pakistan.

A Vlog To Remember

In all the news surrounding Ali Sadpara, Mooroo’s vlog with him has resurfaced after 2 months. It is titled “unsung heroes” and very rightly so!

The vlog is thrilling, fear-inducing, and also incredibly inspiring. It essentially revolves around the 2019 expeditions that went to mount the Melvin Jones peak in Nanga Parbat. The team experienced an avalanche in the midst of which their futures became uncertain. How could they survive after feet of snow had settled atop them, and they had suffered injuries?

The piece features around the team, how they overcame the challenges and what they experience when they follow their dreams to the highest peaks.

A Story To Cherish

Ali Sadpara and Mooroo go on a hike in Islamabad, and whilst doing so; they discuss Sadpara’s love for peaks. He describes in detail what he has experienced on several expeditions. But something that will bring you to tears is the broad smile on his face and his cheerful, hopeful disposition.

Ali Sadpara has represented Pakistan in all the international mountaineering platforms and expeditions. Moreover, he was the first person to have mounted Nanga Parbat in winters. Here’s the most inspiring yet scary part: he has done all these expeditions without oxygen.

Outpouring of Love

As the vlog resurfaces, people have been commenting under the vlog about the national hero. Many have come back to the video to cherish the hero’s words and passion, while others have come to commemorate him.

On that note, here’s to hoping for a miracle for our K-2 expeditioners.

Here’s How PTCL Conducted Its First Successful 5G Trial

5G trial ptcl pakistan — Image Source: Medium

5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks which will leave 4G behind. However, the technology was not predicted to come to Pakistan at least for a few decades. How did we get its first test run done already?

Who Brought it Here?

PTCL Group is one of the country’s largest and most influential telecom groups. It comes as no doubt that they have tested 5G technology in a special, exclusive ceremony at PTCL headquarters. The ceremony was attended by the likes of Syed Amin Ul Haque, Federal Minister for Information Technology & Telecommunication as the Chief Guest.

However, it is important to note that the trial is strictly on a non-commercial basis right now.

What Did The Demonstration Entail of?

The ceremony included live 5G usage scenarios at the ceremony. The demonstrations also included remote surgery, Cloud gaming, and overview of other anticipated 5G technology applications. The most exciting part has to be the achievement of the fastest data rate with download speeds reaching 1.685 Gbps during the 5G trial.

The Medical Advancements Made Possible

The introduction of 5G technology in Pakistan will mean more than just fast data for phones. Once applied in Pakistan, it can enable doctors to conduct surgeries remotely in far-off areas. This can not only actually remove barriers between doctors but it can advance fundamental social developments in underdeveloped areas of Pakistan.

Social Impact of 5G

5G will make the “Digital Pakistan” dream come true. It will enable the digitalization of Pakistan by connecting people with efficient purpose-built technology to facilitate opening industries as well as individuals.

Moreover, this 5G can enable future innovations in struggling sectors such as remote education, public safety, transportation, health and manufacturing amongst others. What we are hoping for is the more equal distribution of resources by utilising this mega-tech development.

What Are The Limitations?

There are several limitations that have yet to be overcome. 5G is firstly an incredibly expensive technology which a third world country like ours can not afford. Pakistan still does not have access to 4G in many areas, how can we jump onto 5G?

Moreover, 5G requires an entirely different infrastructure to be laid on the ground level. This obviously means a large investment. In the face of several other investments waiting to be made, will we prioritize this?

5G technology will surely enable an emerging technological environment and create an ecosystem conducive to economic prosperity in Pakistan. However, we have a long way to go.

Naseebo Lal Reacts To Response On PSL Anthem 2021

Feb 11, 2021

PSL Anthem for 2021 was released with quite a bang. There was much noise right after the song was aired. Some just did not like the song, while some thought that only Ali Zafar had given good PSL anthems. But what was in this year’s anthem? It had Naseebo Lal, Aima Baig, and Young Stunners coming together to form a stadium anthem that would make the crowd ‘groove’ with the music.

PSL Anthem – Groove Mera

Yes, groove does not just mean a trench; it also means dancing to popular music. And yes, the anthem does grow on you. So when you sit down to listen, sometime later, you will be singing along just like you did with ‘Baby Shark’. But people have been making fun of the anthem. Aima, one could say, has not paid much heed to the trolls, the Young Stunners were used in many memes, Naseebo Lal, however, got the most bashing. The haters did not like her presence for a PSL song.

While there are haters, as there are for literally everything, people have also showered love for the song and the singers.

Before we continue further, take a look at the anthem for yourself.

For Naseebo Lal, this project was different from what she is used to. Singing a song focused on a sports-related activity, which is also the most awaited event for the entire country, must have been a new experience for her.

In an interview, she was asked about how she felt. Amidst tears of joy, she mentioned that it was all God’s blessing that she got the project. Never had she ever gotten anthems or PSL songs to sings, so if the organizers thought she could perform, it was all thanks to God. She also mentions that it was her talent that made people shortlist her for it because if it was not a challenging tune, she might not have gotten it.

Feb 11, 2021

Pakistanis have been facing disruptions in internet services today. Now, we are a nation that is used to internet problems, but as it turns out, this time, there is a legit reason behind these problems.

Internet services disruptions in Pakistan

So the problem detected is that the submarine cable that connects Pakistan’s internet to the rest of the world is offline. It isn’t the only internet supplier, but it does occupy the major pie (20%), so problems there are bound to affect most of the population. The IMEWE cable needs to be restored, but there has not been an update on how much time will the restoration process take.

While the submarine wire needs to be restored, we need to work on alternative methods of getting internet services because just this puts us decades back in the world.
