My Nostalgic Car Kahani

Watching Atif Aslam’s Total Parco ad where he recounts his Car Kahani was a breath of fresh air. This might be because the ad was shot in incredibly scenic locations with amazing cinematography and a great story telling aspect to it. You can watch the ad here: Anyway, the ad was fairly nostalgic as well with its late 90s and early 2000s feels. And it reminded me of my own favorite car kahani from that time. No I did not go on dates considering I was 5 at the time. But it's a pretty fun story nonetheless. As a child my sister and I would be fascinated with stop lights, not really grasping the logic behind them. To us it was just a thing people did in unison to annoy drivers behind them. So whenever our car was in the first line at the stop light, we would turn back in our seats to look out of the back window and sing a song we made up with consisted of just one line ‘Hum ne traffic kar di!’. And there was a little dance involved. Maybe. I am not at liberty to say. Bu

Tripkar Women In Boots: The Adventure Of A Lifetime!

My friends and I are cheap as heck. We hate spending money mostly because we don’t have money. Yet we love to travel. Or at least we love the idea of traveling, since actually traveling is a problem. The last 3 years at university have been one failed plan after another to go on a university trip to the north.  But the trips came and went. There was always a reason (money, the reason was money) not to go. So when I got to know that Tripkar.com was taking a free trip to Shogran and Naran if you won their contest, I was all in. The trip had a myriad of sponsors, the main one being Stylo. Shout out to our sponsors for helping make this happen.  I submitted an entry to their all Pakistan blogging contest and surprisingly won. While both my friends got selected in the campus drives they held all across universities in Lahore. We were ecstatic, we were getting an AMAZING trip to the north. And the best part? IT WAS FREE. We were due to leave on the night of the 27 th of A

Sparkistan: A Positive Pakistan

Every single day when I turn on the television to watch the news, all I see is negativity. The amount of negativity that we are fed everyday through various media tends to take a toll on us mentally. In all of this gloom, we need a breath of fresh air. And for me, Sparkistan provided that relief.  Atlas Battery initiated their Sparkistan campaign; a campaign through which they highlighted several unsung heroes of the nation who have been doing great things for the country with little to no recognition. In the midst of all this negativity, Atlas Battery decided to bring us the positivity we so badly needed. Source: Atlas Battery Facebook Take the case of Mr. Fahad Ali, a resident of Karachi. His family fell on financially hard times when he was a child and he had to attend a local government school for a while. Fahad Ali saw firsthand how underfunded government schools are and how children from low socio-economic classes have little to no access to quality education.

Launch: The Entertainer, The Toy Store for Everyone

Image
I got an invite in the mail from Maximum Advertisers inviting me to the opening of The Entertainer store in Emporium Mall. After confirming that the invite was not an accident on account of them mistaking me for a 12 year old (yup, that happens more than I’d care to admit) I graciously accepted. Image Courtesy Maximus Advertisers I went to the launch thinking the store would be for kids and I would feel slightly out of place. Boy, was I wrong! This is the fifth store of The Entertainer in Pakistan yet this was the first time I had entered an outlet mainly because I thought it solely catered to children. The store carries all original toys from Lego, to Barbie to genuine collectible items for various movie franchises and comic books. It is a treat for anyone of any age group. Image Courtesy Maximus Advertising For me personally, the items that attracted me the most were the board games. There was a HUGE shelf which had every board game I have ever played and wanted

Skincare Review: Harvest Tree

Image
So recently Harvest Tree has gotten somewhat popular in the world of online skin care retailing. A friend recommended it to me and I thought I would give it a try. The page boasted organic, handmade products. Honestly just reading the product names made my skin feel nicer. And oh, they did not pay me to write this, in case you were wondering.  It was Eid-ul-Fitr (July 2016, if you’re having trouble remembering). Anywho, they had a deal going on 4 products in PKR 1000 so it was a STEAL. Considering my sister bought the other two products. I only spent 600 in total for two products. They charge 200 for delivery. I ordered the stuff on the first night of Eid and didn’t hear back until three whole days after. Totally understandable, not everyone is as waila as me to be online all the time specially on Eid. Anyway, I got a response, and was told that I was still eligible for the 4 for 1000 deal. My cheapskate heart skipped a beat. I asked them about what face mask-soap combo I
