4 Feel Good Movies You Should Definitely Watch On Netflix

Netflix has been our go-to for quite some time. It made an extensive reservoir of movies and seasons available for its users. And that is how people were already hooked. So when COVID hit and lockdowns were in place, people went towards their chosen form of entertainment, Netflix. The platform has almost every entertainment genre, so if you are looking for feel-good movies to watch on Netflix, here are some suggestions.

1. Crazy Rich Asians

Remember cinderella stories only all of them for the white audience? All the fairytales and millionaire guy poor girl stories but white? Well, this is that but Chinese. It features Asians, so the movie uses the stereotypes to add the comic aspect to it. For instance, one assumes Asians to be very involved with their extended family. And so here you get the extended family drama too. It’s a movie that is white (American) and yellow (Asian). And it makes the film all the more enjoyable.

2. Boss Baby

The boss baby was the definition of fantasy and fun. It kind of reminded me of Baby Genius, an old movie about genius babies who can even do karate and win against professionals. But the boss baby with the shirt and a diaper brings the entertainment you so need after a tough day’s work.

3. The Princess Switch

They say, at one point in time, there are seven lookalikes in the world. So for every individual, six individuals look like him/her. Imagine you are to find one of them, and they turn out to be a royal princess, and she wants to exchange lives with you for some time. How cool would that be?

4. Set it Up

Being an assistant is tough if your boss is a tough person. They could be amazing people, but because they are hard on themselves, you have to suffer through it as well. Set it up is where two such people conspire to set up their bosses to date. Now I cannot say that you would relate to it if you are an office going person because this only happens in movies, and if you were to try this in real life, you would probably get fired. So let’s are responsible and watch this feel-good film.

These movies are fun, and guess what; if you were to find even one to your liking, just go the list ‘more like this,’, and you will be all set for quite some time.

4 Useful Tips To Prepare For If You Are Going For A COVID-19 Test

By

Nov 10, 2020

Everything is scary; everything is confusing these days with the pandemic. Especially with its second wave, people are more scared of its consequences, and rightfully so. So if you observe the symptoms in you, immediately go for a COVID-19 test. Now the test is not a vaccine, but what it helps with is that it tells you you are infected to practice isolation and stop its spread from your end.

Considering the virus affects everyone differently, you never know if the person you might have passed it to otherwise would survive covid or not. So it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you are going for a COVID-19 test, you might feel a bit nervous because of all the rumors going around. So here is what you have to do:

1. Relax

Given the context, it may seem very weird to be asked to relax. But the more you worry, the more uncomfortable you will be during the test. But here is the thing, you may have heard that the test is painful, it’s not. Yes, a person is in your personal space and takes a swab from your nose or mouth, but its maximum goes an inch in your nose.

2. Don’t think about baseless rumors

Yes, it is uncomfortable, and also, the idea that someone is in your nose can be a little weird but try to calm yourself from worrying about that or what would happen if you do have COVID. I mean, it wouldn’t change the fact that you have it. Plus, when you do find out, you just isolate yourself and take a strengthening diet.

3. Earphones!

When you are at the location, you might still freak out, so make sure you take with you something that can be distracting. Take your earphones with you or a Rubix cube, whatever is your jam. For instance, Korean music helps me forget everything, so if I am still freaking out, I will put on a k-pop song and get tested. But yes, earphones are essential because you should not make others there for testing uncomfortable just do you can be more comfortable.

4. Look up, take deep breaths, count, and close eyes

Practice deep belly breaths. And when the nasal test is happening, continue deep breaths through your mouth. Count with each breath up to 20 and close eyes if you want to avoid looking at the person in front of you.

Do this, and you will be very much at ease during the test. Just remember, do not put off testing only because you are scared. You might be putting someone else at risk as well.

Nov 10, 2020

realme 7 Pro things to know — Image Source:: nextnewssource.com

Oppo breathed life into realme because they wanted an impressive budget range. They gave the Xiaomi Redmi phones tough competition because of the vast array. realme phones are known as the titans of the budget smartphone industry. They have premium features and capabilities, all built inside a sleek body. realme 5i is one of the most efficient smartphones ever to hit the market. It has a quad-camera array, 4GB Ram, 64 GB storage as well as a 5000mAh battery.

What more could one want in just Rs.25,000/- only. When we think of buying a Realme phone like realme 6, yet another one comes out. The company releases its phones with such continuity that it leaves the audience baffled! So what about realme 7 Pro? Let us inform you of some of the things you didn’t know about this phone. If you wish to see the review on video, we have it here,

1. Premium Design:

Such sleek and slim designs are usually not expected in Mid-Range phones. Yes, you read that correctly. Despite being Mid-Range, realme 7 Pro has features that match flagship phones! It has a nice 6.4″ screen, which is sure to rival the Redmi Note series. Due to its design, it cannot just be operated using one hand. However, the weight of the phone allows it to be used with ease. It won’t weigh down in the pocket, nor will it be a hindrance to carry.

The realme 7 Pro also has a metal side frame as well as three layers of splash resistance. So if your friend accidentally drops water on it, the phone can still survive!

2. The Inner Feel:

You’ve observed how robust the phone body is from the outside. What about when you start using the phone. Its touch sensors are optimized magnificently. The scrolling is exceptionally smooth to the touch, and the user feels hardly any friction while going through their feed. Through the use of realme Lab, the scroll has the option of becoming even smoother!

If you step out into the sun while using the phone, it does not shy away from itself even then. The display quality gives an immersive contrast. When the brightness adjusts, the quality of the image is retained. It offers visibility outdoors with the same sense of quality as indoors. So, you don’t have to worry about squinting your eyes to read that one notification.

3. Processing Power:

The realme 7 Pro has a powerful Snapdragon chipset. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series has always been an impressive one. Not only does it offer smooth multi-core processing, it even saves energy by optimizing the processors. The Snapdragon 720G is, in no way, an obsolete processor and holds up to its name.

When it comes to RAM, the 8GB variant does no injustice to the user. 8 GB means that you’re getting the full-fledged experience of a flagship phone. Gaming is relatively easy on the device, too, as the Realme 7 Pro can handle any of the latest released games. Even Telltale games like ‘Life is strange’ or ‘Walking dead’ run smoothly.

4. Camera:

The phone comes equipped with a quad-camera array. Is it high quality without there being at least two cameras? The first camera is set at a mighty 64 megapixels, assisted by an 8 Megapixel wide-angle camera. Additionally, the phone a 2 Megapixel portrait and a 2 Megapixel Macro camera. The last one is for all your close-range shooting needs.

When we come to the front of the phone, the 32-megapixel selfie camera is guaranteed to capture every expression on your face. It almost reminds one of the highly sensitive cameras used on Rowan Atkinson in ‘Johnny English Reborn.’ What happened in Mozambique, huh?

5. The Battery Power:

Albeit not as high as 5000mah, the realme 7 Pro comes packed with 4500mAh capacity. This can run for more than a day on maximum use, with ease. The 65W fast charging ensures that any battery lost is regained in record time! A full charge takes nearly 35 minutes! That is it.

The speakers on the phone are in a dual array and can get exponentially loud. This is beneficial for people who prefer to listen out loud. The next time your car loses an aux cable, just pop this up on the dashboard and play away!

These are just some of the features of the realme 7 Pro that makes it an impressive phone.

This Pakistani Couple Is Setting Marriage Goals For Everyone Out There!

Nov 10, 2020

We’ve never loved someone going against the crowd this much. Meet this Pakistani couple who broke away from the norms of wedding functions in our society!

No Opulence, No Luxuries

Talha Bhatti and his wife did their wedding in the simplest of ways, and they were beyond happy with it. No mehndi, no mayoun or dholkis, and no Barat! Only the Sunnah of Nikkah and Walima was followed. The guest list was 10-15 people— isn’t that goals?

For their Walima, they got a few daigs made, and the newly married couple distributed the food amongst the less-privileged people in their town. And that’s how they were married!

Why Would They Do This?

The newly married couple and their parents all had the same mindset. The groom, Talha Bhatti, wanted to get married using his own money. He didn’t want to take any money from his parents in their old age.

The groom imparts, however, that if big fat weddings make you happy, then do it by all means. This simplicity is what made him happy. But are we doing big weddings out of just happiness?

‘Loug Kya Kaheinge?’

The fear of judgment and gossip controls us in many ways in our society. One of the most straightforward ways in which it controls us is when it comes to weddings. Doing a simple wedding is considered to be a sign of ‘poverty’ which many wany want to avoid.

pakistani couple — Image Source: Wedding Glamour

The pressure of doing a big fat wedding has also put many in debt as they have to borrow money to wed their children off in the most luxurious way. If families don’t call every single person they have spoken to once at the wedding, a fight can happen too in families!

All That Glitters Is Not Gold

When we see the most elaborate weddings on Instagram or Facebook nowadays, which we are a lot of, don’t get fooled. So what if you can bring the Singapore Gardens to Lahore and put it on the stage? People might be shocked, but only for a week. Then they will move on and applaud someone else.

In Pakistan, the majority of the population lives below the poverty line. This show of wealth in incredible weddings is nothing more than indifference (and maybe corruption, who knows!)

Marriage is a big day in anyone’s lives, and it’s also supposed to be invaluable because of the connection you’re about to forge. It should just be focused on the bride and groom and their happiness, nothing more, nothing less.

Master Tiles received FBR notice for the extravagant wedding celebrations demanding explanations for the explanation of the wedding expenditure

Remember the people who didn’t invite us where they had an unending dessert table? Yes, the Jalal & Sons and Master Tiles Wedding! While we were crying at not having personally witnessed it, it turns out we didn’t just miss out on the food; we also missed out on the 24 Karat gold wrapping of the dessert give away.

Can you believe that? All that gold, just gone!

It’s Viral!

So while we were all googly-eyed for the dessert table, the internet was raging with their photoshoot, which by the way, we were the first ones to cover (You are welcome!). The photos were going viral mostly because we could not relate to the expenditure of the wedding ceremony.

Master Tiles indeed went over the top for Unzila Mehmood, the bride. The extravagant wedding attracted eyeballs not just for the crazy expenditure in this COVID-infested economy but also for the COVID-infested atmosphere where many people were invited.

I am all in for the celebration that you want. If someone wants a simple festival, well and fair. Suppose someone wants a lavish wedding, great. But what is the point of having gymnasts perform at a wedding when you can have a good all fashioned gol gappey wala prepare gol gappey to live?

So lavish that Master Tiles gets FBR Notice

Jokes aside, people are struggling with basic needs, but that there are ordinary people who have had to change their wedding plans and still lost their money on wedding halls. Due to government-imposed restrictions, banquets could not entertain weddings, and they could not even return everyone’s deposits. So an ordinary Pakistani lost money this way as well. But here, there was no check and balance, and guests enjoyed the gymnastic show.

With the whole country reacting, government bodies got wind of this fiasco as well. And guess what? FBR has served a notice to Master Tiles demanding how exactly they could spend this much on their daughter’s wedding.

Nov 9, 2020

Gigi Hadid, an American fashion model, and former One Direction member, Zayn Malik, had their first child at the end of September. With the fan following that both of her parents have, the newborn is a celebrity baby herself.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn’s Baby

Zayn Malik welcomed his daughter by sharing a picture with her small hand, making the viewers melt. He shared the caption, “Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful. To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x.”

Gigi Hadid also uploaded a similar black and white picture with her newborn. She added the caption, “so in love.”

Mystery Around the Baby

The couple has still not revealed the baby’s face, which is building on to the mystery. Although we all know that when her face is revealed, we will be swooning over the cuteness that Hadid and Zayn’s genes are bound to produce.

Zayn and Gigi, who shared on and off relationships, are now trying parenting. The people around them mentioned how natural and great both of them are at it; Gigi being the kind and compassionate mother while Zayn being a ‘very hands-on and great dad.’

And we can see how natural it comes to Gigi in her new Instagram story where she documents her baby finally burping.

If that doesn’t make you all googly-eyed, I don’t know what will. Meanwhile, if you are as much of a fan of the power trio as we are, then stay tuned because who knows, one of these days, we just might scour the internet for the baby’s picture.

GoP Announces Restart Of Loan Application For Kamyab Jawan Program

By

-

Nov 9, 2020

The loan applications for Kamyab Jawan Program (KJP) are restarting, the Government of Pakistan (GOP) has announced.

The First Round Kamyab Jawan Program

One of PM Imran Khan’s electoral promises included jobs for millions of the youth in Naya Pakistan. The project was named Kamyab Jawan Program. Last time, more than 1 million individuals applied. All those eligible for the Youth Entrepreneurship scheme would generate employment for many more Pakistani jawans. And hence, investing in them would be the best way to ensure the creation of jobs. Therefore, the government intended to disburse PKR 100 billion in the first phase to those entrepreneurs.

Kamyab Jawab program — Image Source: Brandsynario

KJP restarts

That scheme has restarted. The loan applications for that program have been renewed. Entrepreneurs can once again submit loan applications, and if approved, they will be eligible to attain a loan for their business. The idea behind it is that sometimes entrepreneurs are not able to achieve their full potential or even go towards entrepreneurship because of the lack of financials. To remove that barrier, the program was established.

The eligibility criteria for the program is that an applicant can be either a male or a female within the age bracket of 15 to 29 years. They will have to go to the Kamyab Jawan Program website to find the online form. The applicants can then keep an eye on the bank’s website once they have submitted the form.

Track Record

Since October, the government has already distributed soft loans up to PKR 1.4 billion to entrepreneurs who had applied for the KJP program. It has been a successful program because, ultimately, the idea is that that money would generate employment. And considering COVID has led to many layoffs, the KJP program becomes more valuable.

If we look at the statistics for KJP, the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) for Youth Affairs relayed 30% of the loan recipients were female. And this, while not higher, is still a good number considering women do not get an environment to get into entrepreneurship. Moreover, whatever be the ratio between men and women for loan recipients, the main idea was to generate employment. Whatever gender maybe for the entrepreneur, the employment will be created!

So all a recipient has to do is be qualified, and according to reports, loans of Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 500,000, and Rs. 0.5 million to Rs. 5 million have been provided issued to them.

1. Power banks:

In the age of depleting battery and lose progress, power banks are essential. A lot of smartphones don’t have a 5000mah battery. This makes it difficult for the user to work on the phone for the whole day. Powerbanks allow the user to charge their devices on the go. If your phone capacity is at 3000mah and you have a 10, 000mah bank, you can quickly charge your phone two-three times without worrying. MI power banks are quite reliable and cheap.

You can get a decent 10,000mAh bank for less than Rs.3,000/- If you’re going for lesser capacity at 5000mah, you can get one for less than Rs.2,000/- These are inexpensive Tech Gadgets which can save your work, your social media status, and even your life.

Additionally, sleep trackers in smartwatches allow users to keep an eye on their nightly hours. If you don’t get enough sleep, your brain will compromise in its functions. The Haylou smartwatch can be bought at about Rs.4, 000/- and the Realme band is set at about the same price!

3. Mobile VR Headsets:

Glucometers serve the purpose of letting you know about your blood sugar levels.

Too low levels, and you could faint! The apparatus is not bigger than your palm. It uses a sharp, sterilized needle to prick your finger and draw blood. Then it automatically analyzes your blood for its sugar levels. It is recommended to keep your sugar levels in check once every month or so. The prices of these vary, but the standard can be set between Rs.500/- and Rs.2,000/-

Kartarpur Corridor Anniversary: Sikh Community Praises Pakistanis

Nov 9, 2020

A local news channel reported that the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak committee thanked the government for opening the Kartarpur corridor. Last year, PM Imran Khan had opened the corridor to travel from India to Pakistan for the Sikh community. It has been one whole year since then. And considering access to the holy sites means a lot to any religion, the Sikh community has shown immense gratitude for the PM.

Kartarpur Corridor

The border gives access to Narowal from Dera Baba Nanak town of India to get to the shrine of Baba Guru Nanak, the religion’s founder. Therefore, opening this corridor is a show of good faith towards religious harmony with not just the Sikh community in Pakistan but also with the neighboring country.

The committee has declared that it will be celebrating November 9 as the anniversary of this historic move. And they also acknowledged General Qamar Bajwa’s role in making such a decision possible. This move allows the Sikh to make their pilgrimage to their holy shrine and perform rituals.

Historical context for Sikh’s emotional response

A country with which we share a long history, both sides encounter problems traveling to the other country. And yet Pakistan has ensured that issues like visas do not limit Sikhs to perform their pilgrimage. They have ensured that the Sikh community can travel visa-free to the shrine of Baba Sahib. And it came as a much-welcomed decision for the corridor opened on the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism’s founder. Moreover, the Sikhs around the world were filled with emotions.

Baba saheb spent the last 18 years at Kartarpur after having traveled a large part of Asia. To his name, there are more than 900 poetic hymns.

Inter-religion harmony

Religion is a part of identity for many people. And giving respect to religion is always welcomed by the religion’s subject. So this show of good faith by the Pakistani government is indeed going to endorse harmony between religions. And it shows Pakistan’s leaning towards promoting religious tolerance. All in all, the project is a gift for the entire Sikh community from the Pakistani government.

The project had been initiated on the directives of Imran Khan as a peace-building measure for the region and to promote interfaith harmony, which is entirely funded and executed by Pakistan as a gift for the Sikh community.

Apple has already established grounds for it’s best releases so far. The hype began with the rumors of the new iPhone. It kept on going up and up as the days progressed. The release of the pandemic has not hindered Apple’s plans by too many degrees. The company held it’s an online-only event not too long ago.

They revealed the specifications of the iPhone 12 as well as the smartphone. The products were released, and the memes were done with. However, recent news suggests that Apple is not yet done with its year. Apple still has a trick up its sleeve. The company is hosting a ‘One More Thing’ event on November 10th! What will this event bring about? Is there more to Apple than meets the eye?

Apple This Year:

iPhone 12 has had a fantastic response from the audience. It was widely appreciated because of its specifications. When it comes to the processor, the phone features an A14 bionic chip. This seems to be the latest bound in IOS technology. Apple released four variants of the iPhone 12 and even a new color. You have a comprehensive option on which variant to go for. For those classic iPhone lovers, the iPhone 12 mini is a suitable option as it resembles the iPhone 5.

Now, with this recent event airing soon, how can we watch it? Well, there are a handful of ways that that can be done. Firstly, if you have access to YouTube, you can watch it on their channel. Apple has not put any restrictions on the audience count. This is because the entire audience is virtual; there is no on-stage life. Secondly, you can stream it from Apple’s official website. Similarly, the event stream will be available from the Apple Event application on your Apple Tv.

What to expect?

The primary focus of the event is expected around one thing. The name tells us that much, but what one thing? Apple’s team has never held an event that late in the ear before, so it all seems a mystery. The most expected release is the new MAC. The company is using the latest technology to develop their products.

They intended to release a new silicon processor, but the news was not confirmed before. The company is calling its new processors Apple Silicon. What gives the biggest hint is that Apple itself got these devices into focus. When the year began, they said that Apple Silicon powered processors will be available by the end of the year

It further explained that the entire Mac lineup would make the switch to Apple Silicon by 2022. So can this ‘One More Thing’ really be a new Mac release?

Other Possibilities:

Some more potential products do come to mind. The Apple Macbook Air and Macbook Pro have been talked about for quite a while now. It as has also been reported that a 13-inch Macbook Air and 13/16-inch Macbook Pro might be seen. Additionally, Apple was working on AirPods studio. These are like the AirPods but are over-the-ear headphones. What if they are also released?

Finally, Apple talked about the new macOS version. It had been in Beta version since this summer so maybe now is when we finally see MacOS 11.0.1.

Whether it is any of these devices remains to be seen as the event nears. However, the Mac release is the most expected one out of them all.

Pakistanis Just Found ‘Anji’ From Drama Serial Dhoop Kinare!

Nov 9, 2020

Dhoop Kinare is one of the most classic dramas Pakistan has ever produced. Its fans still keep it as the ultimate benchmark of incredible cinematography, storyline, and ideas.

What Was Dhoop Kinare About?

Dhoop Kinare traced the relationship between a young doctor and a senior one. It used comedy, pathos as well as suspense to keep its audience gripped. Produced in 1987 by PTV, the show also centers around another hospital team in a hospital in Karachi. Their routine lives, public and private, are both explored.

Many love the drama till today because of how at that time. The show centers on doctors in a hospital in Karachi and revolves around their routines in public and private spheres. Anji was Zoya’s friend in the drama who had her fair share of fans. Now, all these years later, Anji has been rediscovered by many on Twitter, and they’re elated!

Anji aka Kehkashan Awan

Kehkashan Awan is a management consultant and also a political activist on her Twitter. Someone thought she bore a remarkable resemblance to Anji from Dhoop Kinare, and so they asked. Anji was rediscovered in 2020. All these years later, the woman has not lost an ounce of grace!

Yes, I did act in Dhoop Kinaray 😊 https://t.co/Lsee51vYon

— kehkashan awan (@kehkashan_awan) November 6, 2020

Twitter Reacts

People on Twitter lost it after they found out Kehkashan Awan was after all Anji. This discovery brought back memories of Dhoop Kinare for everyone. The drama has been central in almost every Pakistani’s life, and the rest can say they were forced to watch it. Nonetheless, everyone has watched it.

Many recounted their mothers or wives dragging them to watch the drama; others remember sitting with their grandparents and watching it. Check out what they all said!

Amazing! My wife forced me to watch it and now i cant stop bing watching it. Uv acted so well. Soft spoken and natural acting.

— Shahbaz Khan (@shabzkhaan) November 6, 2020

Mashallah you really do a great act my most fav one drama if you see the real simplicity of love I wish our new generation must watch this drama I wish again to see this type of script in PTV or other private channels drama

— Nayyar Julian (@NayyarJulian) November 6, 2020

Only one word “Legend”.

— AJH (@AliJamilHaider) November 6, 2020

Oh God, Few months back I was watching this drama on YouTube and I searched about you then, that where is this actor these days … So happy to see you here on Twitter 🙂

— AbuRaihan (@AbuRaihanPak) November 7, 2020

A Benchmark For Dramas

While Dhoop Kinare was about love, the image that it depicted was one that many cherish even till today. It showed love to be immensely simplistic, no ostentatious shows, no forceful consents. Moreover, the subtle manner in which it explored daily life’s issues was also profound.

None of that depth or simplicity is witnessed in today’s dramas, which many crave even today. Dhoop Kinare was a progressive drama way ahead of its time. They showed women who wanted to pursue their dream careers; they showed friendship, love without pretense, and life back in the days.

It’s still not too late to binge-watch it; start it today!
