Leave The Outdoor Weather Outside, Make Your Indoor Air Clean And Comfy!

Haier

We live in a mobile age and every mobile has an inbuilt weather app. Do you ever wonder why? Nowadays it is impossible to leave your home without checking the weather outside.

The harsh reality of weather conditions is quite evident Climate change has enhanced the weather extremities and we see the atmospheric pollution levels rising every passing year.

According to the NASA, “The planet’s average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.”

So pollution is directly affecting the weather conditions. There are people who don’t know the severity of pollution in Pakistan. According to Pakistan Air Quality Index (AQI), this is the chart of major Pakistani Cities for 5th March 2019.

The outdoor weather dictates our day, mood and health. Studies have shown that Weather has a deep effect on human health and well-being.

It has been verified that weather is associated with changes in birth rates, and mortality rates, with outbreaks of pneumonia, influenza, and bronchitis, and is related to other sickness linked to pollen and high pollution levels. Breaking the entire conversation down into two major points:

  1. Outdoor weather and air condition is not under our control, only indoor weather of our homes can be regulated
  2. We need an Air Conditioner that not only fights the weather problems i.e. heat, humidity, cold but also clean air from the outdoor pollution i.e. dust, smog and smoke

So, the next big thing is to find a solution to the problems of pollution and weather extremes, because both these problems are major and equally important. The consumer need is what should be addressed. The need for an air purifier combined with an air conditioner which also saves energy by being a dc inverter is what the consumer is looking for in their indoor environment.

Haier as the market leader and a brand that has always cared about the consumers need is all set to introduce one all-round Air Conditioner. The Air Conditioner being launched in the near future is going to be one of its kind all-in-one solution to all your outdoor problems.

It will not only clean the air from all the pollutants with its advanced IFD Filter, but it will also give you the solution for all the weather and atmospheric extremes like heat, cold and humidity. So that, your home actually becomes the heaven you want it to be!

Adnan Sami Khan Opens Up About His Father & Being a Loyal Indian

adnan sami

Adnan Sami Khan has lately been in the spotlight in terms of Indo-Pak tensions.

The singer’s take on the entire matter, his support towards India and harsh stance towards Pakistan has raised quite a few eyebrows.

So much so, trolls kickstarted a Twitter trend of labeling Adnan Sami as an agent who, in reality, is a spy in India.

Imran Abbas Schools Adnan Sami for Trolling Pakistan

Khan is the son of the late Pakistan Airforce pilot, Arshad Sami Khan. He was a highly esteemed pilot and was also awarded Sitara-e-Jurat.

Talking to Hindustan Times, Adnan Sami opened up about his father and sentiments from his friends in Pakistan in regards to the heated situation.

Yet again, Sami didn’t shy away from giving a harsh stance about Pakistanis.

It shows their desperation. Because what they’re trying to desperately do is create a narrative which they feel has been shaken by the events that have taken place recently.

He added that Pakistanis find it an attack on their ego when he praises Indian airforce.

obviously they find it very, like you said, the son of a person who used to be in the PAF, openly praising the IAF, is an attack on their ego.

Speaking particularly about his father, Adnan stated that he has his father’s blessings and his friends and family in Pakistan are aware of it.

They know that my father and I were each other’s other self if you know what I mean. My father knew me better than I knew myself. So they know that the last thing they can ever do is presume what my father would think vis-a-vis me.

They know that my father gave me his blessings and the matter finishes there. And they also know that I would never do anything without my father’s blessings, or anything which would make my father cringe.

Khan also stated that with ‘Pathan blood’ in his veins, he will remain staunch on his words and remain loyal to India.

So, therefore, today, I have my oath to India to honor. This is a very important thing in our blood that we honor our zabaan, our oath

What do you think about Adnan Sami’s latest statements?

Pakistan Navy Prevents Indian Submarine’s Attempt to Enter Pakistan’s Waters

Indian Submarine

According to Geo News, Pakistan Navy detected an Indian submarine attempting to enter Pakistan’s water.

However, Pakistan successfully thwarted the attempts of the Indians to intrude into the Pakistani waters.

The sensationalist Indian media has also released a statement on the matter.

Indian channel Times Now has stated that India had intelligence that Pakistan is sending ships to destroy Indian Navy’s ships.

Consequently, India defended itself by sending a submarine into Pakistan’s waters.

Footage of the submarine surfaced on social media and is now going viral. The footage shows a submarine advancing in the water.

The footage is dated for 4th March 2019 and was captured at 20:35 hours (8:35 pm).

The Pakistan Navy is always ready to guard its territorial waters and is capable of responding to any kind of aggression with full force. This great achievement has been a proof of Pakistan Navy’s superior capabilities.

The Indian submarine was not targeted keeping in view Pakistan’s policy of peace. -Pakistan Navy spokesperson

Actual footage of submarine:

https://youtu.be/Qk8ghP8R56A

A former attempt by the Indian Navy to enter Pakistan’s waters was sabotaged by the Pakistan Navy in 2016.

An unsuspecting submarine was detected and localized south of Pakistani coast on November 16, 2016.

Despite its attempt to remain undetected, the submarine was being monitored by our naval officers and tracked by fleets. It was forced and pushed out of our nautical territory.

Note: This is a developing story.

Pakistan Introduces Digital Documents Attestation Using QR Codes

Pakistan Digital Documents Attestation

The Ministry of Foreign Affair is now adapting and shifting from manual document attestation to digital services to improve the current system.

Reportedly, the Ministry has launched a Quick Response (QR) Code for attesting documentation at their headquarters. This feature will soon be adopted by all campuses.

Benefits of Digital Attestation

In a first, the new QR system will not only save time but also will help prevent delays and mistakes. Not just that, the system will be able to speed-up verification processes and curb ill-practices and forged documents and false attestation.

Furthermore, the QR code will also be used to verify marriage certificates and educational documents as well.

The paperless system will be of great help to overseas Pakistanis who send their wills, power of attorney and other documents over. Plus, all information will be digitally backed for future reference and all records will be safe and secured.

Khushhali Microfinance Bank 2018 Pre-Tax Profit Soars by 40% Reaching PKR 3.5 billion

Micro-finance bank

Khushhali Microfinance Bank Limited (KMBL) posted its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018, in Islamabad. With a marked improvement in performance, KMBL maintained its upward growth momentum in the year 2018.

The bank announced a pre-tax profit of PKR 3.5 billion, one of the highest reported profits in the industry, and up by 40% against last year’s pre-tax profit of PKR 2.5 billion. This rise can be attributed to growth in balance sheet supported by a continued increase in KMBL’s lending portfolio which went up by 34% from last year.

Portfolio quality indicators remain stable and the bank is well capitalized with a capital adequacy ratio of 18.9%.

Building on its strong performance over the past five years, the Bank has not only maintained but elevated its position in the microfinance sector. KMBL is actively expanding into new urban and rural markets effectively targeting its potential client segment and with 197 locations the Bank has one of the largest networks across the country. It enjoys a market leadership position with the highest number of clients, loan portfolio, deposits, asset base and profitability amongst the microfinance banks.

Agriculture sector remains the mainstay of lending portfolio of KMBL owing to the opportunities available within the largely unbanked segments of the market. The deposit book of over PKR 56 billion also appreciated by 22% in comparison to 2017, and the Bank proposed a dividend of PKR 1.50 per share.

In order to sustain and capitalize on growth opportunities in the market, the Bank raised its capital through successful injection of Tier II capital of PKR 1 billion. The bank continues to invest in technology up gradation to enhance its capability to offer Digital Financial services to its customers.

Founded in the year 2000, Khushhali Microfinance Bank has come a long way to fulfill its objectives of providing affordable financial services to the poor.

The bank is owned by a consortium of investors including one of Pakistan’s largest commercial banks (UBL), and Blue Chip international investors with expertise in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise finance.

John Abraham Gives Statement In Favor Of Pakistan!

It seems like Indian media is leaving no stone unturned to force Bollywood celebrities to give anti-Pakistan statements and make headlines out of them.

Recently, the ‘Shootout at Wadala’ actor John Abraham was also asked about the growing tension between India and Pakistan.

However, it is good to see that the actor highlighted the fact that the fight should be against terrorism, not a country.

Ranveer Singh Talks About Ban On Pakistani Artists In Bollywood

While talking to media, John Abraham said:

There has to be a war against terror, not against a country, religion, religions or between religions. I am very clear in my outlook. I (will) probably get picked on, but I am not going to sit on the fence and say ‘this audience will like it, that won’t.

He further emphasized that Indians are stereotyping people which is a dangerous sign. He added:

There has to be a war on terror. It has to be over and done with. That doesn’t mean you have to fight with another country. That doesn’t mean you have to stereotype people. We are stereotyping people, that’s probably the most dangerous sign. It shouldn’t happen. But that’s the way the world is functioning today.

John Abraham is currently working on his upcoming movie titled ‘Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW)’ which is based on the war of 1971. The story revolves around an Indian spy who joins the Pakistani Armed forces to relay information to RAW.

Philip Morris (Pakistan) Limited Closes One of its Manufacturing Facility

Phillip Morris Pakistan

Philip Morris (Pakistan) Limited (PMPKL) today announced it will reorganize its cigarette-manufacturing operations, following a strategic review to optimize process efficiencies and operational effectiveness and to position PMPKL for sustainable future growth.

This will involve closure of the cigarette-manufacturing facility in Kotri, Sindh and will impact 194 employees, all of whom will be offered separation packages that will exceed what is required by law in order to facilitate them through this difficult transition period.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Joao Martins, Managing Director PMPKL said,

“PMPKL remains committed to operating in Pakistan, through our manufacturing facility in Sahiwal, the Green Leaf Threshing plant in Mardan and by maintaining a strong ongoing commercial presence.”

“The wide presence of illicit cigarettes in the country has impacted the legal industry volumes, as a result, our manufacturing footprint was in excess of requirement, hence PMPKL decided to consolidate its current manufacturing footprint to achieve greater efficiency and for a sustained business outlook.”

“Our priority will be to treat all our employees fairly and with respect and dignity. We appreciate the contributions that each and every colleague has made over the years and we understand that this is difficult news for our employees.”

“Philip Morris has a big vision, to create a smoke-free world, and we are transforming our business to achieve that vision. Change at this scale is never easy. Our strong global combustibles business has enabled us to develop better alternatives for smokers but the increase in illicit trade in Pakistan, together with the global industry volume trend, has impacted legal sales volumes in Pakistan to such an extent that our current manufacturing footprint has become unsustainable.”

Ranveer Singh Talks About Ban On Pakistani Artists In Bollywood

Ranveer Singh

After the Pulwama attack, the Indian government announced a complete ban on Pakistani artists in Bollywood and the news created a storm on social media.

It also initiated a debate on both sides of the border on whether it is the right decision to bring art into politics or not.

While a number of Bollywood celebrities supported the ban, there were also a few stars who stood against it.

Imran Abbas Schools Adnan Sami for Trolling Pakistan

Recently, the Gully Boy actor Ranveer Singh was asked his opinion on the film associations’ ban on the Pakistani artists in Bollywood. The actor gave a very diplomatic response on the matter.

SUP 😎 🤙🏽

A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh) on

The actor boldly expressed his views that the government should not mix politics and art. However, he added that Indians should regard the wishes of their soldiers and respect their sentiments.

He said:

I am very cognizant that there is this school of thought that one should not mix art and sport with it, they are two different realms.

But at the same time, us as artists and sportsmen, we are not sacrificing the same way that some of our compatriots are.

He further said:

“If there are people in the forces or their near and dear ones what their sentiments are should have the highest value. If there is one mother of a soldier who believes, we should not engage, then we should respect the sentiment. I think what they want should be of utmost importance to us”

Vidya Balan Targets Pakistan With Controversial Statement

Earlier, Vidya Balan and Kangana Ranaut too made comments against Pakistan that raised quite a few eyebrows.

Vidya stated:

THOUGH I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT ART SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM ALL BOUNDARIES AND POLITICS, I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE A STAND NOW. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Danish Taimoor as Haris and Madiha Imam as Ayesha will be seen as a couple in ‘Mera Rab Waris’.

Ayesha is an educated, strong-willed woman who knows how to stand still on her decisions. On the other hand, the character of Haris is a free-will guy who doesn’t care about others opinions.

It will be a treat to watch these two completely different characters portraying the dynamics of their relationship. We have finally got our hands on the teaser of ‘Mera Rab Waris’ and we are already intrigued.

Danish Taimoor received rave reviews from the audience with his recent performance in ‘Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai’ in which he played the role of an antagonist. The actor is all set to grace our screens again with this upcoming drama.

The talented and beautiful Madiha Rizvi has also become a household name and she’s getting appraised for her phenomenal performance in ‘Baba Jani’ alongside Faysal Quraishi. The actress has one more project in the pipeline where she will be starring alongside Mohib Mirza.
