King Khan (SRK) is Back in style!

   

The King Khan is Back. Indeed, he is back in style, with the much-awaited movie of the year

 “Don 2”.

“Don ko pakra na muskil hee nahi na mumkin hai”

Don 2 proved Shahrukh Khan is the ultimate Khan of  the Indian cinema. Much speculation was the talk of the tinsel town before the release of the movie, whether SRK will make it or not. Nevertheless, the “King Khan” once again showed that when it comes to acting with style, no one could beat him.

Because his name is Khan......Shahrukh Khan...... :)

Don 2, released on December 23rd, kept in view to attract larger number of audience because of Christmas and New Year. A stylish action thriller, directed by Farhan Akhtar is a sequel of Don (2006). Shoot at  exotic locations of Zurich (Switzerland) Kuala lumpur (Malaysia) and Berlin (Germany). A must watch for SRK fans.

The movie opened with jammed packed cinemas worldwide, the cast include Priyanka Chpora, Lara Dutta, Boman Irani, Om Puri, and (the surprise) Kunal Kapoor. Farhan Akhtar (with his magnificent style of direction) succeeded and provided the audience with the biggest entertainer of the year in a stylish and lush manner.

 

Thrilling action scenes, energetic songs, popular background music, excellent screen play,  a complete entertainer, without a doubt. So if you are not dating anyone on New Year’s Eve then go for the movie, with your friends, family or alone. It will be complete package.

Even if you are not SRK fan, this movie for sure makes you one.

Do not miss it; get hold of it in a cinema nearby you. In addition, if you want to enjoy the lush movie in a luxurious style (with amazing sound system) then visit “CineGold” cinema Bahria Town Lahore.

Seven Reasons Why I will marry a Chef!

TheNews Blog » Seven Reasons Why I will Marry a Chef!

While the doctors, engineers and bankers are clearly out of the ‘market’, who’s hot on the list are chefs! With the inversion of ideals, now the way to a woman’s heart is through stomach. A crop of men expert in their culinary skills, what can possibly stop them from being an every girl’s dream husband.

For more reasons, let’s have a look


Reason 1- Creativity………. After doing a little research on Chefs – (thanks to the master chef aired almost daily), it dawned on me that this kind is very creative and imaginative. The benefit is that there are not many chances that you’ll get bored in their company. So, if you also share this one rare quality, then remember the phrase, ‘minds attract each other'.

Reason 2-They are extremely talented….you cannot take them for a ride. As their knowledge is not limited to the culinary art, they are exceptional in the art of presenting them as well. They also know how to work and deliver their best under stress and pressure.

Reason 3- They are hospitable and this is one of the good qualities a girl will look for her spouse. So whenever there will be a situation where you have to manage guests and relatives, your husband will be the supporting factor.


Reason 4- Secure Career. Employment opportunities are always open for chefs (at least as long as people continue to eat).  Once a good chef, there is no turning back Owing to the spate of channels and cooking shows, new opportunities knock at your doorsteps most of the time. If nothing, then running your own restaurant is always a ready option.

Reason 5- They are rich…immensely rich people. Very few of us know the salary of the chefs is never less than six figures. And the fringe benefits that the chefs are entitled to have outdo anyone in comparison with a doctor or engineer. International travelling with protocol, exclusive five star hotel stay with family etc is such a yummy package.

Reason 6- Delicious cuisines at home…… If you are a food fonder then marrying a chef is a double treat for you.


Reason 7- Last but not the least and the most exciting thing is you don’t have to cook, your husband is right there dicing some veggies in the kitchen. So sit back on a couch and relax and let your husband slave his way to please You.

Jalsa! Jalsa! …….is thy name of my game.

Jalsa! Jalsa! …….is thy name of my game.

The much-awaited jalsa also concluded, again with the rhetoric and music. This time new entrant for music was Salman Ahmed, he is the same who called “Islam is a sexy religion”(nauzabillah) in a BBC program. Next time do invite “sonu nigam” for the song “main hoon na” it will create wonders!

How Mr. Shah Mehmmod Quareshi diplomatically changed his stance about Pakistan Nukes was amazing. Mr. Khan should take some elderly advice for his speeches to add some substance other than rhetoric, from…whom??Yes, from Mr. Hashmi (this could be the only help Mr. Hashmi can do for PTI). So now, what is next from PTI? I just failed to understand what kind of politics is going on in our country and that too in the name of change. What are we up to? Calling it, a jalsa for the betterment of Pakistan but Pakistani flags were rare in number. Strange.

Does Lahore jalsa proved anything concrete? Does it solve the issues? Therefore, is the case with Karachi’s big show, on which huge amount of money was used. PTI and its team went from pillar to post to make Karachi jalsa successful in terms of “gathering people only”. Because Mr. Khan wants to prove his strength via jalsa to whom, we all know. However, PTI chairperson and his big guns failed to address solutions to the problems in both of his mass gatherings at Lahore and Karachi.

 Nonetheless, every month PTI manage to arrange a recreational activity for the deprived public and call it “tsunami of change”. Agreed Imran is the champion in gathering people, so let move a step ahead. Let us talk on some of his policies, little bit if Imran and his supporters think to share it with public. PTI’s (realistic) policies related to education, Baluchistan issue, how to end corruption, tax reforms, shortage of electricity and gas etc.

A part from jalsa-concert, I am little confuse, if Mr. Khan or the supporters enlighten me on this, Imran has said that he is welcoming everyone because he needs electable for his party. However, he will give ticket to those who will be on merit; unfortunately, no turncoats will ever be able to come to the merit, so what is the purpose of taking them on board now? some contradiction?

Why Imran blame only politicians for all the chaotic condition, when we all know how establishment always has its influential part in Pakistan politics and was equally responsible and equal partner in crime. However, when it comes to army and issues related to it, (be it assets declaration) Imran always kept himself low profile, which clearly shows his stance. Establishment intervention has always hampered the democratic system. Nevertheless, “ we have not tried Imran before so give him a chance”(not justified). Please for heaven sake it is not about giving a chance for the post of PCB chairman, it is about Pakistan.

It is easy to chant few attractive slogans and to point fingers on others. However, on pragmatic grounds, practical approach works. Just by holding others responsible is not enough if you consider yourself as a leader, come up with solid solutions. We had enough of Jalsa drama.

Haste makes Waste

Haste makes Waste

PML (N) Social Media V/S PTI Social Media

Unpaid V/S Paid

Dedicated workers V/S Professionals

From the past few months, since the birth of PML (N)’s social media team immense hype has been created by social media in social media for the social media team of PML (N). Why? Is PTI scared?

PTI is using social media for the past three years or so, and its social media team compromised of extremely trained and professional workers, who are paid workers and since they are paid so it is obligatory on them to perform their job well as their bread and butter depends on their work. They are assign to promote every single activity of PTI irrespective of its authenticity and credibility. Moreover, what effect it will have in future, they are genuinely not concerned with it.  They are performing their duty; otherwise, they will be kick out.

Whereas PML (N)’s social media team came into being just 3 months back. Their social media team includes people from different occupations; they are students, lawyers, teachers, bankers, journalists, engineers, social activists. They all are non-paid but dedicated workers. They make sure that whatever they disseminate from the platform of social media, it should be factual, authentic, and above all, it does not create any sort of hatred among the fellow citizens. They are devoted to the cause of prosper Pakistan and working for the sheer love of their country not for any party or for any personal motives and interests. As they believe in collective approach not on an individualistic approach.

The above comparison clearly shows the vision of both the parties and their supporters. It reminds me of a story from our childhood “The Rabbit and The Turtle”. PTI is like a rabbit, running with the frame of mind that turtle will never be able to win the race,(and rabbit will have a clean sweep) whereas PML (N) is like a turtle, moving slowly but with determination and faith. Because, haste always makes waste.

Being a Journalist

How does it feel to be a journalist in Pakistan? 

In Pakistan, it is easy to be a dacoit than to be a journalist. Because being a journalist not only your own life is at stake in fact life of your dear ones too. Moreover, in extreme cases you have to take refuge in some other country as a wanted criminal or suspect.

To unveil facts to the masses is a dangerous and a risky job in Pakistan presently, considering the current deteriorating political instability. According to recent surveys and statistics, Pakistan ranked top among most dangerous places for journalists.  The ongoing brawl between political parties are further adding fuel to the pathetic condition and making things worst for the journalists to report the events with honesty.

To recall few names Wali Khan Babr, Saleem Shahzad, both died, Omer Cheema tortured and injured; Hamid Mir, and Sana Bucha threatened, because they all preferred to stand with the truth. We live in a democratic country, where everyone has a right to express. However, our freedom of expression is limited to the personal interests and motives of the influential and the people in power.

All these things and the ruthless behavior of our society at times make me alien to my own people. I feel like living in a jungle where no rule of law exists. We pose we live in a democratic state, I honestly doubt it, rather we live in a state where honesty is not the best policy any more. Where truth is truth only if it is in favor of everyone. You are threatened for dire consequences if you speak against establishment in Pakistan. Everywhere we quote and make comparison with our neighbor India, but when it comes to freedom of speech and expression we dare not, because we know India is a democratic state in real sense.

We as a nation do not value the differences. Therefore, it is extremely tough to be a journalist in country like Pakistan, where people are deprive from the basic right i.e. “freedom of speech and expression”. I salute to all (journalists) who have the guts and courage to reveal the truth to the public without any fear.
