Both phones come with HUAWEI AppGallery pre-installed. Huawei’s official app marketplace, HUAWEI AppGallery, offers a wide range of global and local apps that enhance the Huawei device user experience. In addition to apps, users can also enjoy a rich library of quality entertainment media on HUAWEI Video, HUAWEI Music, and HUAWEI Reader, which is frequently updated with new content from top providers.

3 Things We Can Expect From Pakistan’s Economy Amid The Pandemic

Pakistan's economy

Before the COVID-19 outbreak, Pakistan’s economy was struggling to stay afloat but was in no imminent danger of collapse. However, the pandemic has severely impacted the nation’s economy and virtually pushed it to the brink of bankruptcy.

While almost all nations have been substantially affected by the global health emergency, Pakistan’s economy cannot absorb the massive disruption caused by the pandemic.

While addressing the World Economic Forum at Davos in January, Prime Minister Imran Khan claimed that the year 2020 would be one of economic growth for Pakistan. Khan’s words echoed his vows to the domestic audience, as he has promised fiscal “development” in the country within the ongoing calendar year.

When Pakistan implemented a national lockdown in mid-March, economic activity for the world’s fifth-most populous country was brought to a halt. In a country where nearly 40% of people live in poverty, and more than 24 million workers either earn daily or piece-rate wages or are self-employed, the ensuing economic crisis has hit the population hard.

Below are the three things that will be a result of post-COVID Pakistan:

1. Unemployment 

Pakistan's economy

Lockdowns and decline in GDP may induce temporary unemployment of 11.5 million people and, in the long term, 6.5 million people, pushing the unemployment rate in Pakistan to its highest at 16%. Moreover, up to 15-20 million Pakistanis might fall below the poverty line raising the total number of poverty-stricken citizens to 103 million in the nation.

2. Life after lockdown

Since Pakistan’s economy has been a slow trajectory for the past few years, it will be a slow and steady process to get back on track. After the lockdown phase, the second phase will commence, in which containment of the virus will continue and stabilize the economy. This will be a process to bring back dead businesses gradually.

Pointers such as the capacity to protect employees, provide a safe environment to work, follow the SOPs set by the government, and changes in schedules, etc. may impact small and medium-sized businesses, especially until a vaccine comes in the picture. Another issue is that for many SMEs, the cost of compliance with the government’s SOPs will be a difficult task.

3. Digital transformation

Remote work is likely to become more common. We had some evidence that working from home is at least as productive as working at the office. However, several organizations were reluctant to embrace remote work. Now that many have tried it with good results, remote work might be here to stay.

The pandemic crisis has accelerated the pace of digital transformation, with further expansion in e-commerce and increases in the speed of adoption of videoconferencing and online teaching.

Scientists Are Worried About ‘Pink’ Snow Fall In Europe

Pink Snow in the Italian Alps

Pink snow is something you might never have heard of before. However, the Italian Alps mountain tops are all covered in “strawberry pink” snow. Imagine, all around you, a layer of pink on the highest mountains. Sounds like a scene from an Alien-esque movie or a dystopian, futuristic scene from life on another planet. But it’s all happening on Earth and happening right now.

How Does Snow Turn Pink

Pink snow, according to scientists, is an acute sign of environmental catastrophe. It is a wrong signal to us despite being visually appealing. Pink snow, although it is relatively common, is not that frequent. This year, however, it is emerging in various other places untimely.

Pink snow in the Italian Alps
Image Source: Futurism

The pink hue comes from the blooming algae in the snow, which absorbs more heat from the sun. As a result, the snow melts faster than regular white snow, and so do the glaciers.

Why Is That Concerning?

A faster rate of melting and glaciers can mean two things: more floods and fewer glaciers in the future. If the snow melts more rapidly than usual, the water is bound to reach the lower-lying areas. Moreover, a study published last year predicted that half of the Italian Alps’ glaciers could disappear in this century. All that is a manifestation of climate change.

While it is not clear whether algae blooms are due to warmer temperatures, the faster melting is. Scientists are currently trying to add this model to environmental plans. This can help them understand whether pink snow can cause further global warming in the future.

Where Else Are The Mountains Turning Pink?

A few weeks ago, Alaska’s snow was dyed pink due to the blooming algae. In March, the same sights were witnessed at Galindez Island off northern Antarctica. Last year snow in New Zealand turned pink due to the smoke from the bush fires in Australia.

There have also been reports about weird green algae blooming in another part of the continent. These unusual sights are becoming more prevalent and appearing at random times. This has got to be a massive cause of concern when it comes to the environment— what’s triggering such bizarre changes?

Have You Heard Of Green Snow?

Antarctica is supposedly turning into a huge margarita. Snow there is turning into a bizarre shade of green in some areas. It’s not because someone accidentally dyed it, it’s because of microscopic snow algae. These algae bloom in warmer temperatures, and in the last ten years, Antarctica’s average temperature has risen.

The area covered by the green snow is so vast it can be viewed from satellites. This is another way in which warming temperatures are impact ice.

McDonald’s 2020 Graduation Campaign Adds Light To Students’ Lives

In June this year, McDonald’s Italy came up with an ad campaign that targeted students. Leo Burnett Milan took this ad campaign to social media to attract students who had been studying for finals. Maria Chiara Alegi is the senior copywriter of the ad.

Along with highlighting the importance and need for breaks from studying, the ad also presents educational facts. The fast-food company presented several posters, all saying, “Is hunger confusing you? Have a tasty break with McDelivery.”

McDonald’s 2020 Graduation Campaign

Here are some of the posters from the campaign:

This poster is about the famous artist, Pablo Picasso, and his painting called Demoiselles d’avignon.

This ad is about Animal Farm, the acclaimed novel by George Orwell.

This poster is about the famous Greek myth of Achilles, who died when an arrow was shot at his heel.

This one talks about renowned Italian poet Dante Alighieri and Alberto Moravia, who was an Italian novelist.

All these ad posters carry facts about historical figures, paintings, and books that are well known to students.

A well-appreciated campaign

The campaign has gathered positive responses from all over the world.

Targeting the exam stress

Bringing the stress students to feel before and during the exam season to everyone’s attention and targeting them through an ad campaign is a great idea. Teenagers and young adults feel the most anxious and stressed, mainly because of their studies.

According to statistics, about a third of teenagers aged between 15 of 19 reported that they feel stressed. Additionally, almost half of survey respondents teenagers said that they feel worried in their daily life. Study and exam stress is not only one of the many factors that affect these teenagers but is, perhaps, the most prominent one.

McDonald’s did a tremendous job by targeting students. In Italy, exams before leaving school are considered extremely difficult and is a cause of stress among not only students but their families as well.

Just recently, Pakistani actor Shahroz Sabzwari and model Sadaf Kanwal candidly spoke about the criticism they received on their marriage. The star couple tied the knot on at the end of May 2020, in an intimate nikkah ceremony during the lockdown.

In a recent interview, the two openly discussed their thoughts on the massive criticism they had received and how they handled it. Their unannounced wedding certainly did shock many of the people.

As the news and pictures of their marriage hit our screens, people tried to connect the dots. They speculated that Shahroz and Sadaf were in an illicit relationship, hence ended up divorcing Syra.

A post shared by Shahroz Sabzwari (@shahrozsabzwari) on

Pakistani cinema industry highly influenced by Bollywood.

Since the early 1950s, item songs have been a part of the Bollywood film industry. Item songs usually have nothing to do with the plot of the movie. Instead, they are just fillers and used for entertainment purposes, most notably in the provocative sense.

The item songs in most films usually are included to promote the film as much as possible. This, indeed, is the most effective way to grab the attention of masses. Speaking of which, Bollywood has been setting this trend for quite some time now in promoting their films.

Recently, Pakistani cinema has begun following Bollywood’s footsteps in popping item songs in its films. However, in Pakistan, debates on women’s objectification and sexualization have picked up force, and a notable difference has been observed in the inclusion of these songs.

Sadaf Kanwal Reveals Why She Won’t Do Item Songs Anymore.

Some of Pakistan’s most popular actresses who have been featured in item songs include Mehwish Hayat, Ayesha Omer, Neelum Muneer, Saba Qamar, Sadaf Kanwal, and many more. Moreover, Sadaf’s item song ‘Kaif O Suroor’ in the movie Na Maloom Afraad 2 stirred quite a storm on social media.

Here’s Sadaf Kanwal’s song ‘Kaif O Suroor’ from the movie Na Maloom Afraad 2

Moreover, just recently, Sadaf Kanwal just announced that she wouldn’t be doing any more item songs. In an interview, she was asked, “Will you do item songs after marriage, if offered any” To which, Sadaf Kanwal said,

No. Because I’m married now. I have a family now. I used to be single before and now I have family so  Now I’ll have to be watchful.

Pakistani Students May Have To Leave US If Classes Go Online

Pakistani students are once again disadvantaged in their pursuit of education. Many Universities in the US have announced that the Fall semester will be online due to coronavirus. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced on Monday that international students living in the US must leave if their university goes online. That, or they will risk deportation.

ICE’s Approach

ICE’s blunt decision comes at the worst possible time. This will only create more fear, anxiety, and confusion in an already uncertain time. Most students, currently in the US, are away from family. Moreover, like any other individual right now, their mental health is also at stake here due to quarantine. For ICE to drop a bomb like this is merely terrible.

In addition to that, it’s representing a Trump-like attitude of insensitivity towards internationals.

Last year, the White House issued an immigration proclamation that forced hundreds into uncertainty and loss.

The Perception Of Pakistani Students

Pakistani students are a part of the group of international students in various universities. This decision is going to tar their perception further. International students are always perceived to be inferior in academia and tolerate implicit racism. They are regarded as charity cases by the University, which implies that they wouldn’t be here if the University did not need money.

Image Source: The Dayspring

Why This Decision Is Insensitive

Most of the countries international students hail from have currently suspended flights. How do they return? In addition to that, most students are not paying full tuition fees. They have secured scholarships or are funded by external parties. For such students going back and forth repeatedly costs an arm and a leg and is impossible. For those students who support their tickets with their own earning, this is another hardship.

By continually putting international students at a financial disadvantage, Universities prefer their nationals.

How are The Universities Responding

ICE also dared to suggest students transfer to schools offering in-person classes. According to them, to stay in the US, they must put their health at stake. Some Universities, however, are implementing a hybrid model with a mix of in-person classes and online. University representatives from Brown and Harvard have added that they’re going to chart plans for the future that accommodate students from all backgrounds. 

Going Forward

The plan for the future sounds uncertain for all. Those who were yet to decide which University to go to in Fall, they will be nudged away from the US. These students will most likely consider going to study at a different University. As for ICE, it is facing its fair share of backlash from students and media groups alike.

Chinese Brand ‘Shein’ Apologizes For Selling Muslim Prayer Mats As Rugs

PC: TheNews

It is common to make mistakes; we sometimes forget the names of people, swap orders; after all, we are human.

But, there are some mistakes which can cause some to be in hot waters. Chinese brand Shein has currently found themselves in a tough situation.

Shein was found selling Muslim prayer mats (Jai Namaz) religious symbols such as the Holy Kaaba, which is very sacred for Muslims, like rugs.

On the other hand, the Chinese clothing brand was also accused of cultural appropriation as they had been using white models to sell sleepwear that imitated cultural clothing.

In return, the retailer has issued an official statement in which it has offered its most profound apology to the Muslim community and has shared how the brand is willing to take responsibility so that this sort of unintentional mistake doesn’t happen again.

The official statement reads:

As a global brand, we vow to do a much better job in educating ourselves on different cultures, religions, and traditions to ensure our diverse community is respected and honoured,” it said.

“We offer our sincerest apology to all whom we have hurt and offended and hope we can earn your forgiveness.”

To our community💌 We’re sorry.

A post shared by SHEIN.COM (@sheinofficial) on

According to the reviews given on the website, it was brought into light that customers who were unaware that these rugs were prayer mats had been using then for more than decor purposes. One review was from a customer who had purchased the carpet for their pet cat.

Unfortunately, this is mot the first time when such a mix-up has happened, especially when religious believes are concerned.

PrettyLittleThing was caught in crossfire last year for using traditional Chinese clothing for their collection. In 2018, H&M was in hot waters for using a young black model to show their hoodie, which read ‘coolest monkey in the jungle.’

Even Pakistan’s very own Khaadi was under fire for printing the wrong map of Pakistan on their items.

Khaadi Breaks Silence Over Pakistan Map Controversy!

Even top brands such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and many more have apologized to customers for overlooking mistakes.

We hope that the industry wakes up and realizes that these mistakes will only sink the ship and take preventive measures to keep that from happening.

Boats tossed about among the Latins, cold, hunger, waves,
Not far from the Tiber the land stained with blood,
And diverse plagues will be upon mankind.”

10 Things You Should Do When Someone Tests Positive For COVID-19

Image Source: leica-microsystems

We have been hearing about the ongoing pandemic for months now, and all it has done is made us fearful. Rightly so, the disease can be fatal. But what we are missing out is, understanding as to what should be done when someone in your home tests positive for COVID-19.

In this article, we will discuss ten things you should do when someone tests positive for COVID-19. (Please note that the item is not a work of fiction or written to state personal experiences. It is written under the light of “Caring for Someone Sick at Home” on the Centers for Disease Control Prevention’s (CDC) website.)

1. Distance

The patient must isolate themselves from other people in the house in a separate room where they do not make any kind of contact. It is essential not to use the same bathrooms as well.

2. Get in contact with a doctor

It is essential to stay in the loop with a doctor and not self medicate the patient. Inform the doctor how the patient is doing daily.

3. Oximeter

Image Source: Med Source Labs

Buy an oximeter and keep checking the saturation levels of the patient. Anything below 95 is not a good sign. Some people may show mild symptoms, while some may show severe symptoms. As a caretaker, you must make the call of taking the patient to a hospital if oxygen levels drop.

4. Food

The patients with COVID-19 usually lose a sense of smell and taste. They will likely refuse to eat, but you, as a caretaker, must make sure they eat superfoods.

5. Hydrate

Image Source: Skinny Ms.

The patient may need to hydrate; different fluids must be consumed, such as energy drinks, water, juices, etc.

6. Avoid Sharing

Once the patient is in isolation, there is no need to share any items, including electronics, hairbrushes, slippers, etc.

7. Disinfect

Use a Spray bottle to spray four parts water and 1 part disinfectant mixed in the entire house. Give a separate container to the patient to disinfect the room where they are isolating. Make sure to clean high touching points.

8. Sanitize

Image Source: The Federal

 

If in case you make contact with doors, items with the patient, you must wash hands and sanitize frequently. Unwashed hands can transfer COVID-19 germs to other people in the house.

9. Use Disposable Cutlery

Do not share the same cutlery. For COVID-19 patients, cutlery should be disposed of responsibly after being used.

10. Laundry

The patient’s laundry should be washed inside the isolation room. Make the necessary arrangements as a caretaker.

You must be ready for any kind of emergency as patients can show severe signs later.

According to the CDC, look for emergency warning signs* for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:
  • Trouble breathing
  • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
  • New confusion

4 Inspiring Ways Countries Can Help End The Lockdown

Lockdown is bound to end one day even though it may seem endless at the moment. Some countries are still imposing a strict lockdown while others are implementing a “smart one.” Regardless, a substantial positive change is being witnessed because of the lockdowns in terms of the environment. Air pollution has seen a dramatic decrease, skies are more transparent, stars are visible, and animals are happier.

To make the lockdown end responsibly and to care for our planet after, some changes must be made. Here’s what some countries are doing:

1. France Is Using Bicycles

France is paying for cycling lessons and bike repairs for its citizens. Their approach is driven by the goal of ending coronavirus and air pollution. The burden on public transport will be significantly reduced by encouraging people to use bicycles. Moreover, it will also ensure that the spread of the virus is limited. If people are not gathered in the same vehicles to travel, the range of the virus will be limited. 

2. Pakistan Is Focusing on Trees

Pakistan is paying its unemployed citizens to plant trees in remote areas. This is part of the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami Project initiated by the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in response to global warming. Three hundred fifty thousand hectares of land is promised to be restored under this project. This initiative by Pakistan is helping its people stay afloat during a financial crisis.

In addition to that, it is helping to save the planet and be active in the charge against climate change.

3. NewYork City Is Prioritising Bicycling

NYC recently opened 7 miles of streets for cyclists and pedestrians. In the coming weeks, they have announced that up to 100 miles will be open for use. Their strategy aims to keep people safe, keep the virus controlled, and make their city cleaner.

2019 was termed as a deadly year for bicyclists in NYC; this is what they’re doing to be better.

4. Germany Has A Different Approach

Germany is not focusing on the now; it is focusing on the future. Once lockdown ends, they want to make sure that economic recovery is made in an environmentally safe way.  It is investing in sectors and companies that create jobs producing less CO2 emissions. Moreover, they are increasing subsidies for sustainable goods. For example, there are cash incentives to purchase an electric car.

Why It’s Important To Do This

Climate change has often been termed as “the pandemic we are ignoring.” The Australian fires last year because of which millions of animals were killed, and more than half the forest was burned is only just the beginning. Climate change is making our home uninhabitable for us, and our active participation is only in our own best interest. Be the change!

vivo Celebrates Three Years Of Smartphone Innovation & Setting Trends In Pakistan

By
Press Release

vivo pakistan

Lahore, 6th July 2020: Vivo, the leading global smartphone brand, today marks the completion of three years in Pakistan. In a short time, Vivo has adapted quickly to understand and anticipate the ever-changing needs of young smartphone users for trendsetting technologies, pro-photography features, and elevated mobile experiences.

“vivo has been consistent with its technological advancements, and its latest innovations have made it one of the top smartphone brands in the country. It wouldn’t have been possible without the love and continuous support of our customers, esteemed channel partners, distributors, and retailers,” said Mr. Eric Kong, Chief Executive Officer at vivo Pakistan.

Exemplifying its commitment to bringing best-in-class smartphones in Pakistan, vivo introduced its customers to the several notable ‘Firsts’ global innovations and exemplary technologies, from the World’s First FullView™ Display to the In-Display Fingerprint Scanning and Pop-Up Cameras.

  • In 2017, vivo became Pakistan’s first smartphone brand to introduce the FullView™ Display on the vivo V7+ with a very high screen to body ratio and minimal bezels. The vivo V7+ was also the world’s first smartphone to offer a 24MP selfie camera.
  • In 2018, vivo surpassed its record by offering vivo V9 with a newer version of FullView™ Display featuring an even higher screen-to-body ratio. With V11 Pro, it managed to achieve over 85% — dubbed as the Halo FullView™ Display. Moreover, V11 Pro was the first smartphone in Pakistan to offer vivo’s revolutionary In-Display Fingerprint Scanning technology, eliminating the need for a physical scanning pad.
  • In 2019, continuing its streak of cutting-edge innovation, vivo launched the world’s first 32MP Pop-up Selfie Camera on the vivo V15 series in Pakistan. V17 Pro upped the game later that year, with its Dual Pop-up Selfie Camera, seen first time on a smartphone.
  • Also, in 2019, vivo introduced the V17 with futuristic iView Display and the L-shape Quad Rear Camera module – just at the beginning of 2020 vivo took the style game to another level with a unique diamond-camera for the ultra-stylish vivo S1 Pro.
  • The latest flagship launched this year. Namely, the vivo V19 brings extreme power and the Dual iView Display, featuring two selfie cameras on the screen and 33W vivo FlashCharge 2.0 with extreme video stability options both in front and rear cameras.

According to the recent data from GFK, “vivo is currently one of the top smartphone brands in Pakistan. It is a great achievement by any smartphone brand in a competitive market like Pakistan, which was already occupied by multiple global brands. This rapid growth speaks volumes about the product quality.

In its popular budget series, S and Y, vivo in Pakistan also offers many hi-tech variants, which are the hot-sellers in the market and the first choice of young customers. Both series provide a complete smartphone experience with state-of-the-art camera features, battery power, shimmering design, fast charging, and ultra-game mode at the most consumer-friendly prices.

Consumers in Pakistan are opening up to a smarter world and rapidly embracing global technologies and transformation that is taking place in the smartphone industry.  vivo foresees excellent potential in the Pakistan market and hence, a prosperous future for its products. As we move forward towards the 5G era, vivo will continue to strive together with our partners and distributors to make the smartphone experience worth appreciating for our customers.

9-Year-Old Baloch Girl Is Making Pakistanis Proud By Surfing The Waves

The 9 year old surfing

Surfing on the waves like a pro was none other than a 9-year-old girl from Balochistan. Social media is in awe of the little girl surfing in the Pasni area of Balochistan.

People are coming together to wish her well, pray for her successful future, and applaud her for her bravery. Her name is still unknown, but that is not holding anyone back from appreciating her efforts.

Surfing is not a common sport in Pakistan. The Clifton Beach in Karachi is often cited as one place to surf, but there are rarely surfers there. Those who even visit the beach otherwise complain about the level of pollution there. However, this girl found her place, and she owned it like a pro.

Pakistani Youth Making Us Proud

Nothing makes the people of any land happier than seeing the younger generation succeed. To be able to find your passion at such a young age and to excel in the field is extraordinary. Names like Arfa Karim, Malala Yousafzai, and Shaheer Khan Niazi are just some other examples. They all made us proud with their remarkable achievements at the youngest of ages. 

Pakistan Needs To Support Its Youth More

Seeing this girl surfing so solidly has made everyone proud. However, have we ever thought about how much our country has supported her? Our guesses are not so much. Pakistan rarely has institutes where sports like surfing can be taught. Private lessons require you to sell an arm and a leg. Her parents probably prepared this brave girl.

More significant investment and support in such areas are bound to encourage more boys and girls. They will not only become excellent at the sport but will also be able to go international.

She’s Challenging Cultural Norms

In a country where young girls are mistreated, judged, and oppressed, this girl is surfing fearlessly. Many other girls her age are married or not allowed to leave their house. Many are denied their right to education.

However, this 9-year-old is a change in the right direction. Kudos to her parents, who are raising their girls to be brave and take on the world as it is.  In addition to that, pursuing sports is not typical for girls in Pakistan.

Aside from the taunts of being too manly, professionally, female games are more scarce. We’re hoping by the time this girl grows up, she takes pride in her country also. 

Moreover, many of the people applauding her right now are those who would shame her had she been older. Instead of focusing on her talent, much of the society would have focused on her fitted suit. Or perhaps, why her swimming suit does not have a hijab attached to it. It is important to remember that we need to play our part in making the country safer for girls.

Elon Musk Is Selling ‘Short Shorts’ & Twitter Can’t Handle It!

Elon Musk is venturing into clothing, and people are getting a kick out of it. The billionaire tech entrepreneur is selling short shorts now, and they sold out in minutes too. The red satin Tesla shots sure did surprise everyone, but they were a hit.

The bright red and gold shorts were described to be able to provide “exceptional comfort” on the website. Musk shared the link on his Twitter to nearly 37 million followers, and it sold out in less than 5 minutes. The ‘S3XY’ on the back are names of Tesla’s four vehicles.

How Did The Twitterati respond

People on Twitter with equal parts were surprised, humored, and excited. While some tweeted about how senseless this was, others jumped at the opportunity to grab them. After all, Musk is a businessman, and he knew how to sell shorts. With bright hues and the promise of comfort, naturally, hundreds were persuaded. There are many speaking about how Musk, once away, robbed the people, but others are too busy joking about it.

What’s The Story Behind The Shorts

Tesla did not venture into clothing as an expansion strategy. This was just another one of Musk’s unique digs that he took at someone. In the stock market, there are “short sellers” who place bets that a company’s share prices will go down. When they go up, they get slammed with losses. Such was the case last week with Tesla’s short seller. Tesla crushed his vehicle delivery expectations, which made his stock go to an all-time high. His market cap was brought to well over $200 billion. 

Moreover, the spike led to CEO Musk gain $1.6 billion to his net worth on Thursday. His entire fortune stands at $53.4 billion now, according to Bloomberg. Musk is also the 16th richest person in the world.

So, in short, the short shorts were a jab at the short-sellers. 

The 420 Joke

The price Musk tweeted also has a backstory to it. He tweeted that the shorts were on sale for “Only $69.420!”

This was a direct reference to his tweet in 2017 that landed him in hot waters. In 2017, he tweeted that he was taking Tesla private for $420 a share. Although later, he confessed that it was a pot joke for his girlfriend, he got into trouble. The Securities and Exchange Commission was unhappy with him, and he had to pay heft fines and resign as Chairman.

Celebrity weddings are one of the most-awaited events. From the time they start prepping to all their multiple events, fans of such celebrities stay hooked and updated on what they’re up to. It’s definitely because these weddings are no less than a fairytale!

Some of these Pakistani celebrities give us primary couple goals, and we can’t get enough of them. Most of these celebrity couples make us believe in true love. For example, the recent new couples that have been the talk of the town are Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir, Hina Altaf, and Agha Ali, and let’s not forget, Manzar Sehbai and Samina Ahmed.

To clear things out, in a recent interview, Shahroz and Sadaf revealed how they dealt with all the criticism they had received. To which, Shahroz said that his elders have always quoted one thing,

The dogs may bark but the caravan moves on

Sadaf was also asked the same question as to how she dealt with all the hate and here’s what she said,

Sitting here like this, does it look like I’m affected by all the hate? It’s not the first time a thing like this has happened. Plus, since I have such an amazing husband and loving family, I have nothing to worry about.

Meet Maaz-Ur-Rehman – A Madrasa Student Who Cleared His CSS

This year has been chaotic for most of the world; any good news feels like a breath of fresh air. Meet Hafiz Maaz-ur-Rehman, who is a son of an Imam, for whom his compassion and dedication towards gaining an education has turned many heads.

Maaz-ur-Rehman has studied at a Madrasa until he was 16 years old. Later, he became an Imam of the Masjid. He pursued a master’s degree in Arabic and then gave his CSS exams. He acquired a 6th position in the KPK region and has been allocated to the police department.

Recently, the CSS results for the previous year (2019) came out, and many people made it to the top of the list. Most of them have had a formal education. However, Maaz-ur-Rehaman has been a Madrasa student. Yes, you heard that, right!

Maaz-ur-Rehman

His story is not just inspiring but also portrays how hard work and dedication can alter your life. On Hum News Digital, Maaz tells the host, Owais Mangalwala, how he had financial issues during his course of education, but he never let them come in the way of what he dreamt of achieving.

Hafiz from a Madrasa, Maaz-ur-Rehman, stands 6th in KP province in the CSS exam. Watch Full Video Here:

Education at Madrasas

Education at Madrasas have been showcased as problematic in the past, but Maaz’s case is a clear example of how all fingers are not the same size. While it can be problematic, people like Maaz have been through the same route, which just proves that perceptions need to be changed in our society towards these kids.

He says madrasa students are competent too! It is just how each individual weaves their journey. He aims to alter the perception of people, so their attitude towards similar children changes with time.

“When people like me will come forward, and Madrasa students will work hard and pursue education … they are competent and very much talented.”

When there is a will, there is a way!

What Maaz has achieved didn’t come easy,  he told the hosts of the show. He failed twice in his CSS exams, first time five courses, the second time, three courses. He once cleared his exams but was not allocated to any department, but he didn’t lose hope. In his 4th attempt, he finally made it to the end of the finish line.

“I started preparations from scratch and faced failures many times in my road to success. I failed CSS exams twice; the first time I failed five subjects, whereas, in the second attempt, I failed three papers. Then I passed Provincial Management Services (PMS) exams but wasn’t allocated to any group”.

A Pakistani girl from Quetta has topped in her Central Superior Services (CSS) exam in Balochistan. Read the full story here: 

CSS Examination: Farwa Batool Tops in Balochistan

All we need is a dedication to change paths for ourselves. We think Maaz-ur-Rehman’s story was truly inspiring.
