Apple will be finally launching Airtags with iPhone 12 this October, and everyone is too excited.

In the past few releases, Apple has held events in the early days of September. And following the trend, people expected Apple to hold the event for iPhone 12 on 10th September. That couldn’t happen given the COVID consequences. And the date got pushed to somewhere in October (at least that’s what rumors suggest).

The event being conducted online in October will be launching iPhone 12 as well as Watch Series 6. But alongside these, it will also be launching another accessory, AirTags. But do you know what they are?

Never losing anything, are we?

Remember when you would forget where you put your phone and had to beg people around you to give it a ring? Well, those days are over.  This accessory is kind of like your phone finder. It acts as loss prevention ‘tag’ if you will. It will possibly work with Bluetooth, but I am waiting to see how much of a distance it can find my phone. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Considering Apple has had so many leaks, I just wonder why they are even holding an event. The design? Leaked. The launch date? Leaked. The event? Leaked. And now, even the accessory leaked! But anyway, considering the Airtag rumor lasted almost a year, it’s about time it launched.

Interestingly, these airbags were supposed to be released in the Spring of 2020. But the company is said to have run into some problems, and the launch got delayed.

Something more on the airbags

So, a little about how the tag does the tagging. The tracker available, you can attach it to say, a pet. Imagine trying to fool your cat into coming near you just so you can find your iPhone and it, as always, struts away.

So if you are successful in proving your undivided love for the cat, the tag will help you find your iPhone through ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. It uses radio signals and broadcasts it across the radio spectrum. Through that, the tag can show you the exact distance between the sender and receiver, i.e., the title and the phone. I am buying it (If I can afford it).

BEWARE!

But oh wait, there is one more thing. Code in iOS 13 links the AirTag with Augmented Reality (AR). Upon using the AirTag, AR balloons may appear on hidden items. If you have something top secret (ahem.. ahem), I’d suggest you be careful.

You can find items that you lose a lot. So, for instance, you put the airTag on your keychain. I lose it a lot so that I would do it. And then, when I do lose it again, I can go to Find My app and find the AirTag and, by extension, the keychain. I would love to know what it will cost me to find my keychain. Until then, we will just wait for the event where they launch Airtags with iPhone 12.

PC: NYT

According to the Federal Minister for Science and Information Technology Fawad Chaudhry, the government of Pakistan has finalized seven new vehicle safety standard rules.

According to his official statement, “The ministry has informed the car manufacturers to ensure these standards in new cars.”

According to documents available, Pakistan has ratified the United Nations treaty on “Adoption of Harmonized Technical Nations Regulations for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be fitted and used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted based on these UN Regulations, adopted at Geneva on 20 March 1958” reports Profit.

Moreover, the minister, in an interview, shared the new standards that had been set by the government.

These standards were revised after the Ministry of Industries and Production (MoIP) denied its role in inspecting the quality and safety features in local cars in January 2020. 

Electric Busses To Hit The Roads By Year End: Fawad Chaudry

New Vehicle Safety Standards

In an interview, the minister shared that the new standards included that the airbags equipped in each vehicle be of high-standard. He added that the brakes should also be of acceptable quality as well as the windscreens.

The companies have to ensure high-quality headlights for a better drive in the night and wipers for a safe drive in the rain, -Minister Fawad Chaudhry

When asked if these new changes will impact the price of the vehicle, Chaudhry shared that the local manufacturers in Pakistan will have to install all the quality parts within the car, given the current rates.

The companies are already charging for these features, but still launching the vehicles without them, -the minister added

Motors Dealers Association has lauded the ministry for their step to improve vehicle standards and safety.

The cars in Pakistan have very high prices comparing to the international market but have zero safety features. The government must implement these standards now because, the local cars have no safety features, – Motors Dealers Association

Moreover, it is essential to highlight here that Pakistan has no regulatory body that is required to monitor the safety standards of the locally produced units.

When MoIP denied their role in inspecting the vehicles, it also added that the Engineering Development Board (EDB) is also not responsible as its not its relevant department. The ministry further clarified that the EDB can only verify certain aspects. They include:

  • Assembling/manufacturing of auto parts under the SRO 655(1)/2006
  • Assembling/manufacturing of vehicles under the SRO 656(1)/2006

Furthermore, EDB is only responsible for verifying the imported completely knocked down (CKD) units under the SRO.

#DHACares Trends As Authorities Take Action After So Many Days

The monsoon spell that hit Karachi last week shook metropolitans to the core. From people losing their lives to helplessly seeing their cars and houses drown, from power shutdowns to water contamination, Karachiites have been through a great deal of trauma and misery lately.

Be it the low daily wagers, the middle-class professionals and businessmen, or the elite class from posh areas like DHA; everyone faced their fair share of challenges. People started calling out the authorities on Social Media platforms, urging them to take action and put an end to their sufferings. #KarachiRains trended on Twitter for days, highlighting the disastrous effects of rain, hoping for the government to step in and finally take charge. However, not much could be achieved.

Yesterday, on September 1, residents of Clifton and DHA stormed the Cantonment Board Clifton’s office, demanding the resignation of incompetent officials. Infuriated over water contamination and accumulation on roads and in their houses, a huge crowd gathered and protested outside the office.

#DHACares

However, today, on September 2, twitter is trending with the ‘DHACares’ hashtag. DHA Karachi has finally stepped in and has addressed the grievances and concerns of the residents. They held a meeting to devise pragmatic strategies to fix the mess.

DHA Karachi Official tweeted

Hopeful to see a positive change, Karachiites appreciated this initiative and acknowledged the proficiency of the board:

However, some were skeptical of the actions that are already taken and that will be taken by the board shortly.

Some people even posted videos to highlight the pathetic condition of their streets and cried for help:

Karachiites Are Still Angry

Others, however, held the board accountable and continued questioning the competency of DHA and CBC. Who is answerable for the loss encountered by Karachiites at the hands of these incompetent powerful elites? This is one of the many questions that lurk over our heads.

The financial hub of the country plunged in rainwater remained unaddressed for days. This puts a question mark on the competency and integrity of the authorities. Exactly how much damage will it take to remove the blindfold off their eyes?

People took their anger on Twitter and commented:

 

Anyhow, the authorities have finally broken their silence on the matter. They have stepped in to address the problems and obstacles that the residents of DHA have encountered over the course of five days. The residents have been assured that the matter is now being taken care of, and swift actions will be taken, especially for those whose houses are still submerged in rainwater and sewerage.

Although this seems to be a ray of hope for the residents, the question ‘why did it take DHA so long to finally start caring’ remains unanswered and is probably meant to remain unanswered forever.

Do you support the DHACares hashtag? Is this an attempt to shush the residents, or is the DHA board actually concerned? What do you think? Let us know in the comment section below.

The famous YouTuber Zaid Ali and his wife, Yumna, took their YouTube followers and fans on a tour of their strikingly classy house via their vlog.

On August 31, 2020, Zaid Ali uploaded a vlog on his YouTube channel ZaidAliT Vlogs, showing his house off to his followers. After a lot of hard work and efforts, “this entire process has taken three years,” Zaid said.

Zaid Ali’s House Tour

As you enter, the first thing that holds your gaze is a beautiful calligraphic painting of a Surah that translates, “Which one of your Lord’s favors will you deny.” According to Zaid, the Surah is a reminder for them to be grateful to Allah for everything, at all times.

Next up is their adorably designed bathroom. It was recently painted pink, and a beautiful painting adorns its wall.

Next in line is the portion of their house that nobody has ever seen before, as claimed by the young couple – their bedroom.

The entire bedroom celebrates a mid-century modern look. The couple used plenty of natural hues and earthy shades such as brown, beige, white, and grey to give their bedroom a fresh, classy look. To up the game further, they added a little bit of pink for contrast. And not to forget, Yumna’s favorite thing in the room – the pompous grass, placed gracefully on the side table in a vase. Although it costs them $120, it looks chic, having a very natural element to it. They have also placed a treadmill in their room, but hardly ever use it.

A beautifully decorated section of the house awaits as we move towards the living room. The wall is graced with two phenomenal abstract paintings paired with lovely wooden frames. Yumna has given a lot of attention to details and has adorned the area with hand-painted books and vases in natural colors. This portion also enjoys the same soothing feel as their bedroom.

Moving opposite to the sideboard, we enter the kitchen. A typical kitchen BUT with a specially decorated red wall, embellished with memorable pictures and frames and, of course, some cute lights. This particular yet fun portion of the kitchen makes this area of the house stand out.

Moving ahead, they have also placed a dining table. Contrary to the usual, this dining table has two chairs and a fluffy bench.

Proceeding towards the balcony now. This is our most favorite part of the house. Adorably furnished with a dining table, a balcony bar to work at, and a pink carpet. They also have some palettes with pink and purple cushions, some plants, and candles that complement to the calm and peaceful feel of the balcony.

For us, the highlight of the balcony is the mini theatre where Zaid and Yumna watch movies together. What a beautiful sight!

Lastly, Zaid’s favorite part of the apartment – his gaming room. This room has a wall contrasted and designed exclusively by the young couple themselves. It follows the grey theme of the apartment. Zaid has also placed a grey sofa with blue pillows. On the table is a framed quote that says, “If you can dream it, you can achieve it” to motivate him to bring his dreams to reality.
And last but not the least, his custom-built PC, which is an absolute monster.

Lays Introduces

Do you like to travel a lot? Has COVID put a break on that? While you may be restricted to your country these days, this chips brand has found a way to appease your travel longings. Lay’s Introduces exciting new flavors, and it can do two things two you. Either you will love it, or your travel longing will increase manifolds.

So on August 20th, Lay’s posted an Instagram image showing four new flavors inspired by four different countries. They mentioned that if any one of these four countries was in your travel plans, you could say them. And maybe, just maybe, Lay’s would send that flavor your way.

These flavors included Mexico, Germany, Thailand, and Greece.

Lime Flavor or more like Mexico?

In between the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico reminds one of that seawater smell. And what do you take when lounging at sea? Tea, please, with a drop of lemon in it!

Okay, yes, it’s not tea, but you get the drift. So that’s what the Mexico flavor stands for. Lime and Seasalt.

Historical Greece?

Next up is Greece. The country is known for being expensive and personally speaking, rightfully so. I mean, they have that mythological, historical background. Tell me, who wouldn’t want to look at Athena’s temple? But the fact that Greece cuisines have an essence that features Southeast Europe and the Middle East is enticing for all travel enthusiasts.

And is it getting a chance to taste the sauces? I have a feeling that it would not just intrigue the travel enthusiast but also the history ones. So this flavor features Tzatziki sauce. It is made from salted strained yogurt and is further mixed with cucumbers, olive oil, garlic, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and it even includes herbs like parsley, dill, thyme, mint, and parsley.

Beers of Germany?

So ahem ahem, ever want to taste the beers? Okay, no, fatwa, please. I just meant that Germany is known for its beer halls. So one can only wonder how they must have created a Germany flavor. And to know that, we will have to try it. They couldn’t have made it from real beers now, and even if they did, well, one item off the bucket list.

And What about Thailand

Boiled dished, spicy salads, pounded foods, and curries. Thai food cannot be summarized to just this, of course, but it’s a good start. So to have a taste of Basil Chilli, you can order the Mexican flavor.

So what are you waiting for, people? Lay introduces these new flavors to bring a smile for all the travel enthusiasts. So don’t stay up and order away. Oh, right, you can’t. So apparently, these flavors won’t be available in stores. You will have to comment on the names of one of these countries you want to visit on their social media platforms. And they will send it your way.

Skywell Automobile, the Chinese company working with Daewoo Express to bring electric busses to Pakistan, will reportedly be investing $50mn within the country.

This news was announced by none other than Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry.

Reportedly, the minister told a private news channel that Skywell Automobile would start production in phase 2 after they’ve invested the disclosed amount.

Just last week, Skywell Automobiles China and Daewoo Express Pakistan signed an agreement to allow a fruitful partnership to commence between the two.

Skywell Automobiles China & Daewoo Express Pakistan

During the occasion, the minister shared that the money will help the economy, create employment, and encourage other companies to invest in Pakistan:

This will not only going to give a boost to our economy but will also generate massive employment and investment opportunities in the country

Earlier, Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry took it to his official Twitter account to announce that Pakistan will welcome electric busses on its roads by the end of 2020.

Chaudhry also shared that the electric busses are a strategic alliance agreement between Daewoo Express and Skywell Automobile, China.

The federal minister, in the tweet, also mentions that the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has yet again fulfilled another promise made by him to the public. The security of taking Pakistan down a progressive road.

FROM THIS YEAR, ELECTRIC BUSES WILL START RUNNING IN PAKISTAN, AND IN THREE YEARS, THESE BUSES WILL START BEING COMPLETELY MANUFACTURED IN PAKISTAN.

Moreover, during the exciting ceremony to commemorate the new alliance, the federal minister shared that a close eye will be kept on all technical innovation technological inventions.

The minister also shared that when Pakistan introduces 5G technology, there will be many businesses that will no longer be required.

During the ceremony, the minister also talked about the prestigious Ruet-e-Hilal Committee head Mufti Munib-ur-Rehman. He shared that the moon would not alter its course based on what he or Mufti Rehman says.

IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES [TO PROGRESS] AND SAY ‘WE DO NOT ACCEPT IT’, [TIME] WILL RUN OVER YOU, – HE SAID INDIRECTLY TO THE MUFTI

On the other hand, the minister also added that if progress were to be seen in Pakistan, that a 10-year plan must be made to think ahead.

He added that even today, it is very difficult for businessmen and women and families to be able to travel to Lahore in the winters because of the thick fog. To be successful, Pakistan has to work around these challenges and bring solutions.

He also made it a point that Pakistan is performing better than ever when it comes to exporting goods. “Today, we are making our own masks and sanitizers in Pakistan,” he shared. Demand for mangos had also exceeded the initial goal by 45,000 tonnes, which is excellent news for the country.

Electric Vehicle Policy In Pakistan

The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) had granted its approval for the Electric Vehicle (EV) policy for two and 3-wheelers as well as heavy commercial vehicles in mid-June.

The policy was drafted and proposed by the Ministry of Industries & Production after consultations from stakeholders, including the Engineering Development Board (EDB), Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC), and others.

The EV policy was presented by MoCC and was approved earlier this year, but due to objections raised by MoIP, EDB, and other stakeholders, it was not implemented and was revised.

In April, during a meeting, it was then decided that the EV policy will be implemented for 2-wheelers (bikes) and 3-wheelers (rickshaws) to satisfy both the MoCC and the MoIP. On the other hand, it was decided that the policy for 4-wheelers (cars) would be implemented later on.

Pakistanis Shattered After Tinder Stops Working In Pakistan

Tinder stops working
Image Source: News Views

Amidst the Karachi Rains, something else trended as well. The news that the dating app Tinder stops working in Pakistan was all over Twitter. The dating app allowed people to meet up, date, and some even ended up getting married to their matches.

How it works is people can right swipe on the profiles they like. If the opposite party does the same, well, the conversation begins.

Considering we recently had to undergo a PubG ban and rumors of the TikTok ban never died, Pakistanis jumped to the same conclusion when Tinder stopped working. PTA has not released any official statement as of yet, but Pakistanis were quick with their speculations.

But more than commenting on the rumor, Pakistanis were making fun of the (questionable?) gentry found there. Because we all know Tinder was not being used the way it was supposed to in Pakistan. And that is what is reflected in the tweets.

Let’s have a look, shall we?

1. Arrange Marriage was old school?

I never thought that. The older generation systematically defended against the ‘love marriage’ phase, so arrange Marriage never went out of running. Hence, calling it an old school thing would not be right, would it? But we get what @filmwaali meant. I mean, one more option is gone, good times for Mrs. Khan, I guess.

2. Oops, a direct attack on the married men

Now girl, don’t go on hurting their fragile ego.

So the Twitter user Hafsa, shared an unsaid fact. The married men making fake IDs to fool women. According to her, they would be the most hurt by this news.

3. Almost instantly…

So apparently, some people didn’t even get their chance. Sugarplum hinted at the fact that many didn’t even know Tinder existed until very long. And the moment they got to know about it, well you know how it goes.

4. Now that’s… A good one?

So we are outstanding at the blame game, aren’t we?

Khurram Qureshi decided to put it on PTA officials not getting enough right swipes. Uh… no comments.

Well…We Just Had To

There must be some truth to this. Why else would even men say this? It makes us curious, though, how do you know about this, Danish Kaleem?

Maybe shortly, PTA will have a response. Who knows, perhaps they even got multiple right swipes.

But don’t worry, people. Tinder stops working, and you are affected by it; there is always Bumble. And Ludo Star, well, that is the main ground.

Karachi Rains: 5 Days Gone, Karachiites Are Still Crying For Help!

In the past week, Karachi faced torrential rains that disturbed the entire system of the city. While somewhere Karachi Rains caused Prados to fall in the fast-flowing sewerage water, other areas witnessed houses drowning in 4.5 ft water.

Twitter trended with the Karachi Rains hashtag. With urban flooding in Karachi, the Karachiites had to suffer unexplainable trauma. Now, even after five days, the public is still suffering, and they are crying for help in hopes someone would listen.

Surjani Town

Electricity suffered the most. Considering so many places were underwater, and the presence of electricity could fatally injure many, electricity was switched off. For many many hours, Karachi was without electricity. But as the water started clearing on its own, the electricity was restored. Surjani Town, however, is still without it, and it has been 12 days.

Kharadar

In Kharadar, there is no difference between rainwater and the sewerage line. If only the water were cleaner, it would look like a scene handpicked from Venice.  Unfortunately, however, the scene of Kharadar had waste littered on the sides. One could only imagine the smell that the residents must be suffering from.

Bhittai Colony

And where the water was removed, or it disappeared on its own, it left in its wake a pile of sewerage. The muddy area where one could already not take a stroll is now reeking.

Korangi Fishery

And who will talk about the under-privileged? Near Korangi Fishery, around 200 people have become homeless, and the water has restricted them to small patches of land.

On 1st September, though, the cleaning works have begun. While the city is underwater, CBC has started cleaning the signboards…

Cleaning of Road Direction Sign Boards.01-09-2020

Even Graveyards…

But what can we do or say when even our dead are not peaceful. A scene from a graveyard shows the destruction that Karachi Rains have caused.

PM Imran Khan tweeted his support for the Karaciites. He said:

“My govt is fully cognizant of the suffering of our people in the wake of the heavy rains, especially the people of Karachi. I am personally monitoring the relief & rescue operations & am in constant contact with Chairman NDMA & Governor Sindh for regular updates.”

Hopefully, now that the signboards are clearing up, the water from the rest of Karachi will follow suit. But we need to remember draining water is not the only issue. After that, the sewerage that has traveled with water it also needs cleaning up. The overall maintenance is the need of today so that the next rainy season will be a blessing and not a curse.

Are Men Better At Multitasking Than Women? Find Out!

By

All your life, you might have heard that women are better at multitasking. But can you believe that it’s not true? Research has proved otherwise!

Gif Source: Gfycat

It’s time to find out whether or not men are better at multitasking!

According to CNN, the research was conducted by two university psychologists in Germany and published in the journal PLOS One. It proved that when given the most common forms of multitasking, men and women of similar age and physical and cognitive abilities almost performed equally.

Here’s how the research was conducted:

Ninety-six men and women were asked to complete simple sets of tasks that were combined to show the different ways people typically multitask. Some people perform two jobs at once; sometimes, they start a second task before finishing the first one. Sometimes, they keep switching the tasks back and forth. Often, the two jobs require two very different sets of cognitive demands.

What did the authors conclude?

“Multitasking resulted in substantial performance costs across all experimental conditions without a single significant gender difference in any of these ten measures, even when controlling for gender differences in underlying cognitive abilities.”

Furthermore, they said,

“Thus, our results do not confirm the widespread stereotype that women are better at multitasking than men at least in the popular sequential and concurrent multitasking settings used in the present study.”

But here’s a twist! The research also concluded that gender has nothing to do with it because multitasking, in general, hurts performances in both cases.

Image Source: Inc.com

The researchers note that some research has found gender differences in both multitasking and, therefore, the cognitive abilities required to do it. For example, studies have found women to possess a foothold on multitasking but men to maintain, say, better spatial reasoning abilities.

However, a new study argues that the research process best compares apples-to-apples, the abilities of men and women, and the conditions under which they usually multitask.

Now, before you go and start sharing this, remember that the research has proved that both men and women performed equally well!

Ertuğrul Actor Engin Altan All Set To Come To Pakistan Soon!

After Esra Bilgiç, another Ertuğrul Actor, Engin Sultan, is coming to Pakistan and signing with a Pakistani company. This time it is the Blue World City.

Turkish drama fan following that began from Ishq e Mamnoon never really faded away. The fan-following went through various phases, though. Sometimes it was Ishq e Mamnoon, other times, it was Fatima Gul, and sometimes it was Manahil & Khalil. Currently, Ertugrul is all the rage. With the drama dubbed in Urdu and aired on PTV, it gathered quite some viewers.

Image Source: yenisafak.com

Seeing that some Pakistani brands invited Esra Bilgiç. People did like it, but some did not encourage the idea of bringing foreign actors. They believed that Pakistani actors should get the chance and not some foreigner. Remember Yasir Hussain, anyone…

But anyway, brands will do what is more profitable for them. So Blue World  City is now following QMobile and Jazz’s footsteps by inviting a foreigner in the folds.

Alhamdulilah – We are honoured to Host Brother Engin Altan Duzyatan in Pakistan, and and will extend a historic welcome…

Posted by Blue World City on Thursday, August 27, 2020

 

Let’s hope Eltin has a great time in Pakistan so that when he goes back, more Turkish visit our country just as much as Pakistanis visit Turkey. Because while Karachi might not be at its full glory, Pakistani food cannot disappoint anyone.

Young Pakistani Guy Marries Divorcee With Children To Complete Sunnah

Young Pakistani Guy Marries Divorcee With Children To Complete Sunnah

Stigmas attached to getting divorced, marrying a divorcee, marrying an older woman are incredibly prevalent in the context of Pakistan; however, with increasing awareness, people are taking baby steps towards ending such stigmas. Shehbaz is one of these strong-willed individuals, committed to shattering the stereotypes.

Shehbaz Marries a Divorcee to Complete the Sunnah

Shehbaz, a handsome young guy from Pakistan, recently tied the knot with a divorcee to complete his Iman and follow the Sunnah. Not only is she older than Shehbaz, but she is also the mother of three beautiful daughters. In a society where the exploitative ‘Rishta culture’ is so common, this bold yet uplifting step by Shehbaz is an inspiration for all.

The Groom’s Point of View

Accepting his marriage wholeheartedly, Shehbaz is not only determined to fulfill all his responsibilities towards the relationship but is also satisfied as he has completed the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

The ‘flaws’ (as per the society) that his wife-to-be has did not put off his willingness to marry the lady, even for a split second. Shehbaz was determined to follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Everyone on Twitter is Going Gaga Over this Marriage

A good looking guy, marrying an older, divorced woman, is indeed a rare sight in the judgmental Pakistani society. Seemingly, the woman had three major imperfections as per societal norms and standards, but Shehbaz successfully tossed them all out.

Paying no heed to what people might think, the young man did what he thought was the right thing to do and what aligned with his religious beliefs and sentiments. Surprisingly enough, people across Pakistan cannot stop appreciating Shehbaz for this commendable act. The couple is receiving a lot of admiration on Twitter:

Others shared their personal experiences. Some also highlighted instances where young women willingly tie the knot with older men (who also have children), resulting in successful marriages. After all, acceptance is the key to successful relationships.

Amidst all the admiration, some people were also of the point that one should not showcase their good deeds openly in front of people on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Nevertheless, it is about time we highlight such instances to create awareness among the masses. This awe-inspiring tale of a handsome young man marrying an older divorcee with three daughters serves as motivation for the upcoming generations to smash these toxic norms prevailing in our society and cultivate an inclusive and non-judgmental environment for all.

Sending lots of love and prayers, we wish the couple all the best for their future.

Do you think that the surfacing stories of such strong-willed individuals who are trying to break through these bizarre social norms and societal pressures are an indication of cultural and societal revolution in Pakistan? Are we becoming more civil and considerate towards others and their choices? Or do we still have a long way to go?

Even though Pakistan’s national sport is hockey, we Pakistanis are well-known for our love for cricket.

Be it playing in international platforms, or our very own domestic league – Pakistan Super League (PSL), our love for the game is quite evident.

Ever since the formation of the Pakistan Cricket Team, there have been countless cricketers in the history of sports that have made Pakistan a proud country.

These cricketers have managed to go above and beyond, showcasing excellent skills in the field. They have shattered records set by legends and have made their records as well.

One such fantastic cricketer that has made our chest swell with pride is nonother than ‘The Professor’ or Mohammad Hafeez.

All-rounder Hafeez added another feather to his cap when he became the first male cricketer in T20Is to score 2,000 runs and take 50 wickets in the shortest format of the game (T20Is).

The 39-year old reached the milestone during Pakistan’s 2nd T20I against England in the beautiful city of Manchester.

Although Hafeez is the first male cricketer to achieve this milestone, there are already three female cricketers who have had this honor – Deandra Dottin of West Indies, Sophie Devine of New Zealand, and Stafanie Taylor of West Indies.

Social Media Congratulates Hafeez On His Record 

Mohammad Hafeez has had the privilege to be captain of the Pakistan cricket team in all formats. Once in Tests and twice in ODIs. But it is the T20Is where he was at the helm for a decent period.

We wish the professor all the very best for his future endeavors and hope he continues to make his nation proud.

Everything You Need To Know About Honda’s First Fully-Electric Car!

Automotive manufacturers have come a long way if we dive into history. In 1886, Carl Benz was the first person to apply for a patent for his “vehicle powered by a gas engine.”

Now in 2020, almost every other auto-brand has taken an oath to go electric.

One such brand that has decided to shift its focus towards clean and sustainable energy is Honda. The auto-titan has introduced its first-ever fully electric-car.

Honda changed the name of their Honda Urban EV to Honda e to make it sound more catchy.

Earlier in 2019, the manufacturer had revealed the prototype of the vehicle. It was expected that Honda would eventually launch an EV in the market towards the end of 2019 or early 2020.

Honda E Prototype Revealed Ahead of Debut

Where Has The Honda e Launched?

PC: Automotive News Europe

The Honda e was released in Europe earlier this month in an attempt to encourage EVs.

What’s Its Driving Capacity?

Honda is not the only automotive giant looking to secure shares in the EV market. There are many others in the race, including Tesla, Hyundai, and Audi too. Although each competitor is trying to give consumers bigger batteries, the Honda e will provide drivers with 280 km per charge.

Most EVs use large capacity batteries, but often, much of that capacity goes unused during city driving, -Tomofumi Ichinose, chief engineer of the Honda e

Is It Better For Urban Or Rural Areas?

PC: Automotive News Europe

According to the brains behind Honda e, the car is a perfect fit for the cities.

We question whether larger vehicles are appropriate for urban areas and believe that smaller is a better option for cities. -Ichinose shared.

Honda e Price?

The Honda e is intended as an upmarket city car, with a price-tag of around 33,000 Euros ($39,000).

Exterior & Design

The EV is a sight to look at. Its aesthetically pleasing, easy on the eyes, has a Honda classic N360 and N600 inspired body, which will give you a rush of nostalgia.

The engineers at Honda have focused explicitly on accurate and sharp handling to enable easy u-turns in narrow streets with this model.

Moreover, they have given it modern cosmetic upgrades such as replacing side mirrors with interior displays to avoid bumps and scrapes when parking the car.

Where Is It Available?

Honda has shared that the Honda e will only be sold in Europe as well as Japan, and will be up for grabs in late October. The titan expects annual sales of at least 1,000 unit sales in their homeland and about 10,000 units in Europe.

The automaker said it had no plans to market the car in North America or China at the moment, but that may change if Honda does not get the response it has estimated. Only time will tell if the Honda e can dominate the EV market in the EU.

foodpanda Riders Restore Faith In Humanity After Rescuing Stranded Civilians!

Karachi rains have only recently broken a record of 36 years and the city is underwaters. All around the residents is a murky length of water. As unfortunate as it may be, several lives have been lost while the inconvenience to residents otherwise remains enormous.

Amidst all that, there was a little glimmer of hope and optimism and it came from none other than foodpanda riders. Keep reading to find out their warmest gesture yet!

Closeted Superheroes

A group of foodpanda riders in the North Karachi zone decided that they wanted to concentrate their efforts on rescuing people. A video shows two riders helping a woman cross a road, knee-deep in water, while the flow of the water was in the opposite direction. 

As you can see, the woman would not have been able to cross it alone because the flow was so strong. There are two riders who anchor her and help her get home safely while there are several others standing in the area to offer further assistance. 

The Riders and Their Unlimited Compassion

That was not all for their rescue efforts. They then proceeded to help a wagon move forth in the water. This was a herculean task especially since the water was deep enough to be covering 1/4th of the car and the riders were knee-deep submerged.


The difficulty with which they’re pushing the car is visible but they don’t give up. This sort of resilient spirit and determination to help others is what makes us proud of our country and its people. Kudos to the foodpanda riders for whom the difficulty of others came before their own comfort.

The Opportunity Cost of Civilians’ Relief Efforts

While they may be lauded for their initiative, let’s not get distracted. Had they not taken this responsibility on their head, who would have helped the woman cross the flooded rood? Who would have helped the wagon through?

The Heroes Deserve An Appreciation

These videos went viral and they did for good reason. This is team spirit and compassion’s prime example from foodpanda riders. As a thank you and to appreciate these courageous men within the company, they were invited to the Headquarters. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoldexUQNY&feature=youtu.be

There they met with the CEO and the team but that’s not all. They were given appreciation certificates and gifts too! Appreciation within the workplace can make anyone feel confident and these guys deserved it more than anything.

There are hundreds of others who weren’t helped and who remained in such inconvenient positions. The government failed Karachi in two major ways. Firstly, it was their responsibility to ensure urban flooding does not happen. Secondly, they failed to rescue their citizens.

The Two Shocking Sides Of Karachi During The Disastrous Rainfall

Disastrous Rainfall Karachi

The monsoon season has always been extremely tragic for Karachiites. However, this year, the terrible blow of monsoon took the metropolitans by surprise. Regardless of the socio-economic classes that people belong to, this spell of the disastrous Karachi rainfall has undoubtedly effected both sides of Karachi in varying yet overwhelming ways.

The underprivileged affectees

The ‘kachi-abaadi’ dwellers and residents belonging to areas with ill-structured houses have been through hell. Poor daily wagers, despite the disastrous rainfall, had no choice but to step out and work to earn a living.

Vendors selling fruits, ice-cream, corn (bhutta), among other street foods, were seen standing by the side-walks. Many of them became homeless as the rain wrecked their houses. Several people even lost their lives as the roofs collapsed. They were helpless and could do nothing but see the city drown.

The Elites Suffered Too

People from posh areas (like DHA) also faced their fair share of challenges as the disastrous spell of rain hit the metropolis. From power shutdown to flooded roads and houses – the lives of the elite class got disrupted too. After the sixth spell of the monsoon rain in Karachi, almost half of the mobile towers were shut down due to some disturbances in the supply chain of the telecom sector.

Being unable to contact their loved ones in the havoc and chaos caused by the unexpectedly disastrous consequences of the rain, the residents got infuriated.
People called out the authorities for their incompetence and the lack of infrastructure facilities that the government has provided to the financial hub of the country. Dealing with the aftermath of monsoon rainfall, that too amidst a pandemic, was too much for Karachiites to handle.

The Elites Flaunting Their Privileged Self

However, there were still a few who could not be less empathetic towards the affectees. Traveling in Vigos, splashing water on the passersby – their privilege was screaming at the top of their lungs.

Check out these videos

Not cool at all

Taking It To Twitter

People poured out their grievances on Twitter, highlighting the pathetic conditions of the city after the rain. Some shed light on the seriousness of the situation while others demanded their rights to be served. The miserable condition of the town also became a breeding ground for political debates.

On Twitter, Karachiites painted a picture of how the “City of Lights” drowned into gloominess:

Where Are The Authorities? 

The government is now held responsible for the flawed and imbalanced urban planning policies and practices that have exacerbated the condition of the city over the years. Under the Sindh government, Karachi is considered as one of the most highly compromised cities of Pakistan. Karachiites have hence started demanding Karachi to become a separate province or administrative unit. Rightfully so, the city has been neglected for years and now needs attention more than ever.

Although the monsoon rainfall superficially seems to be a natural crisis, if we dig deeper into its dynamics, it unfolds as a human-made disaster in Karachi due to the negligence and incompetence of the Sindh government towards the city. The destruction, caused by these well-forecasted monsoon spells, can be curtailed with proper planning and administrative measures.

Are there any solutions to this situation? Can Karachi survive in the hands of the powerful elite? Is there still some hope left? Let us know in the comments below!

Here’s the post that Maya Ali shared on her Instagram 

But that’s not all. The actress failed to see two things that were coming up next—one: Former actress Aisha Khan’s comment ad two, the followers’ speculation. Ayesha Khan’s comment caught everyone’s attention. Here’s what she had commented on Maya’s post:

Aisha’s comment made people speculate that the scarlet might have gotten engaged, and the picture could be from her ‘Baat Pakki.’

Earlier, rumors claimed that Maya Ali and actor Shehryar Munawar were dating, but neither of them refuted the claims. However, they did seem to have gotten pretty close to each other. Moreover, the two are all set to star in their new drama serial ‘Pehli Si Mohabbat.’

Karachi Rain: Residents Of The Metropolis Call-Out Sindh Government For Negligence

Karachi, home to hundreds of thousands of citizens and popularly called ‘The City Of Lights’, is no longer what it used to be.

On Thursday, 27th August, Karachiites witnessed the worst weather system the city had ever seen in years. The heavy rain spells and lightning continued to pour down, and soon, the town found itself stuck in a horrible situation.

Unlike international standards where drainage systems are used to clear roads and surrounding areas of rainwater, the clogged sewage systems in Karachi encouraged rainwater to flood the streets, causing hundreds of cars, bikes, and even people to drown.

The neck-deep water caused not only massive damages to transport and people but also caused enormous havoc for businesses that had to remain shut for days.

Furious to see the current condition of their beautiful city, now turned into a waste dump as litter and waste-filled the streets, the residents of Karachi took it to social media to express their anger and to call out the Sindh government for a failed system.

PC: Arab news

“Why should we pay taxes when we have to look after draining out water from our homes and streets. When there is no electricity and no clean water.” Tweeted an angry resident.

While another user, through a video showing the current situation in front of the Governor House 4 days after the rain spell, he tweeted, “4 din baad bhi governor house road ka ye haal ha. Red zone ka ye haal haa. Just imagine (even after four days, this is the condition of the Governor House Road. This is the condition of a red-zone. imagine)”


While others have called to make Karachi a separate province to rid the city of corruption and negligence.

“I am Sindhi, and I want a separate province/unit to save #Karachi from corrupt oligarchies.” Tweets Ammad.

Day 5 into the urban flooding and yet, roads are filled with gushing water, electricity is, however, to be restored, several have died by either drowning or electrical incidents, many are still missing, work and businesses are suffering from internet outages and goods worths millions have perished because of the rainwater.

کراچی کی اصل حالت بارش کے بعد 45 کروڑ کا تو صرف ایک بزنس مین کو نقصان ہوا اور غریبوں کا تو اللہ ہی حافظ ھے ۔کراچی کی اس کہانی کو لازمی شئیر کیجیے

Posted by JDC Foundation Pakistan on Friday, August 28, 2020

With frustration and anger in their hearts, Karachiites ask the Sindh government, what’s next?

When will Karachi be treated as a financial hub? When will politicians finally recognize the city as an essential contributor towards the country, when will the suffering come to an end? When will corruption lose the battle citizens are fighting against every day? When will Sindh see a competent government instead of one that is making excuses?
