نئے پاکستان کی نرالی حکومت کا ایک اور کارنامہ. بڑھتا ہوا ظلم. اس بار نشانہ بن رہا ہے معصوم میڈیا. جی، پچھلی حکومت جو اپنے نورانی چہروں کی نمائش کے لئے ایک ایک منٹ کے لاکھوں روپے کے اشتہار خریدتی تھی، اس ظالم حکومت نے اس ریٹ کو 97 فیصد تک کم کردیا. The Govt of Pakistan after due deliberation and considering the rates charges by Pvt Channels has evaluated the new rates which are fair & reasonable for release of Public Sector Ads/campaigns Valid for all Federal/Prov Govts, Autonomous bodies & Organisations from 27th Dec 2018 pic.twitter.com/u1UJKLgGy7 — Fawad Chaudhry (@FawadPTIUpdates) December 23, 2018 کہتی ہے کہ غریب عوام کے ٹیکس کا پیسہ بچائیں گے. یار کچھ خدا کا خوف کریں، ظلم کی بھی انتہا ہوتی ہے. عوام کو نہیں چاہیے تعلیم، نہیں چاہیے صحت، بس TV اور اخبارات میں اپنی شکلیں دکھاتے رہیں اور ان معصوم چینل مالکان کا پیٹ بھرتے رہیں. عوام کا پیٹ آپ کے چہرے دیکھ کر ہی بھر جائے گا. اب بیچارے جیو کو ہی لے لیں، ایک منٹ کے تقریباً 3 لاکھ لینے والے چینل کو 90 ہزار ک...

آج ایک خبر آئ جس نے پاک وطن کے کئی شاہینوں کو جھنجھوڑ دیا، ہلا دیا، نیندیں اڑا دی، سکون کا تہس نہس کردیا. اور یہ سب ہوتا بھی کیوں نہ. گناہ ٹیکس جو لگ گیا... نئے پاکستان کی نرالی حکومت نے بےچاروں کی ایک اور خوشی چھین لی. یہ شاہین جو گلی کے نکڑ پر بیٹھ کر جو دھوئیں کی آبشار بہاتے تھے ان سے ان کی یہ تفریح بھی چھین لی. خیر... حکومت کے باقی کارناموں کے کیا کہنے جب یہ والا ہی سب پر بھاری ہوگیا ہے. سب پر اور سر پر. بیچارے شاہینوں کے سر پر. پر جب ہل ہی گئے ہو تو تھوڑا اور ہل لو. آخر کیا وجہ ہے یہ گناہ ٹیکس لگانے کی. کیوں یہ عجیب عجیب کام اس ملک میں ہو رہے ہیں جو دنیا میں کہیں نہیں ہوتے. نہیں ہوتے؟ آئیں ہم بتاتے ہیں کہاں نہیں ہوتے. وہاں نہیں ہوتے جہاں لوگوں کی پرواہ نہیں ہوتی. گناہ ٹیکس؟ یہ نام کیوں؟ یہ جو نام ہے 'گناہ ٹیکس' ساری دنیا میں لیا جاتا ہے. اسی نام سے ساری دنیا میں جانا جاتا ہے. اس کو باہر sin tax کہتے ہیں. پاکستانیوں نے بس اس کا لفظی ترجمہ کیا ہے، اور کچھ نہیں. کسی ملک میں یہ ٹیکس زیادہ لیا جاتا ہے، کسی میں کم. گنتی کے چند ممالک ہیں جہاں یہ ٹیکس نہی...

ان کے قہقہوں کے شور میں اپنے آنسوؤں میں بے بسی چھپائے بس ہوسٹس اپنی جگہ پر جا کر بیٹھ گئی. جو اس پر بیتی وہ انہونی نہیں. جو ساتھ ہوا اس کے وہ پہلی دفعہ نہیں. ہمارے معاشرے میں کئی ایسے مسائل ہیں جن پر نہ کوئی بات کرتا ہے، نہ کوئی توجہ دیتا ہے. کچھ ایسی ہی داستان پاکستان کی بس ہوسٹس لڑکیوں کی ہے. یہ جو لڑکیاں Daewoo میں ہوسٹس, چھوٹے دفاتر میں نوکری یا سکول ٹیچرز وغیرہ ہوتی ہیں ان میں سے زیادہ تر وہ ہوتی ہیں جن کا گھر چلانے کے لئے یا والد نہیں ہوتا یا کوئی بھائی نہیں ہوتا یا والدین بوڑھے ہوتے یا بھائی چھوٹے ہوتے ہیں. پلیز ایسی لڑکیوں کو تحفظ دیا کریں اپنی سگی بہنوں کی طرح. — M Hanzala Tayyab MHT (@OfficialHanzala) November 11, 2018 ہنزلہ بھائ نے صحیح عرض کیا... کسی کا والد نہیں، کسی کا بھائی نہیں، کسی والدین بوڑھے، کسی کے بھائی چھوٹے... ان سب وجوہات سے پیدا ہونے والے حالات کی ستائ حوا کی بیٹی اپنی گھر کی چار دیواری چھوڑ کر رزق حلال کی تلاش میں نکلتی ہے. یہ وہی لڑکی ہے جو اپنی کم عمری میں ناجائزی کے راستے کو ٹھوکر مار کر اپنے بوڑھے والدین کا، چھوٹے بہن بھائیوں کا پیٹ بھرن...

Since the announcement of Dam Fund by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the country has gone into a 3D wave: Dish-out, Discuss and Diarrhea. How? Let's have a look... The 1 st D: Dish-out Understanding the urgency, some have grasped the need of time and have started dishing out money and creating awareness for the national cause. For now these people are few in numbers, bound to increase soon. They do comprehend how limited Pakistan’s water resources are, how much water is being wasted because Pakistan lacks dams and how many dams our neighboring India is building on its side of the border damaging the equation. Indian factor is massive when it comes to Pakistan’s water needs. Water resources flowing through India are a lifeline for Pakistan but given the current scenario, our neighboring country is building dozens of dams on rivers flowing towards Pakistan. Result: It can control the water when Pakistan needs it. It can release when Pakistan don’t. Result: Floods....

A lot is being said regarding Reham Khan's upcoming book on Imran Khan. Most of it is blatant criticism on the former of cashing on her married life. Of breaking trust. Lot has been said on it and thus we won't discuss much on that side of the story. I decided to take a dive in to recent past and peak on the historical perspective of the said book. I wanted to check out the reasons people say that Reham's book is funded by the former ruling party. Upon due research, what I found was, to say the least, eye opening. So what does it take to cook a book? Three words: Lot's of Money! In the last week of October 2015, Imran and Reham separated after a 10 month marriage. What ensued in the weeks following the divorce was not hidden... Secret meetings were talk of the town... ریہام خان کی کچھ دیربعدلندن میں وزیراعلی ٰپنجاب سے ملاقات کاامکان،ذرائع — Geo News Urdu (@geonews_urdu) November 29, 2015 People suggested her to write her books given her interviews...

Colors, beauty, glamour and fame. These are some of the words associated with fashion and Kate Spade made sure to shine in that world. Shine on top. But beneath that shining star was a world of sadness. A universe of depression. Loneliness, misery and sorrow. Life can be cruel. Life can be lonely. Life can have a huge pile of dollars and still can be a world of misery. Life with everything but family can be a life without anything. And Kate Spade's untimely death is a stark reminder of the role of depression in our lives. And that's what has been echoed by thousands mourning her death. Money can not buy happiness!  For those still embracing the "money buys happiness" philosophy, please note Kate Spade had $200 million bucks and decided to strangle herself to death with a rope this morning. — Tim Knight (@SlopeOfHope) June 5, 2018 And they have no where to go...  Kate Spade has been found dead in her apartment and apparently left a note. ...

I recently read a news of India building numerous dams on rivers that flow through Pakistan while Pakistanis are not doing anything in this regard. This imbalance has given birth to a new threat to Pakistan. The threat of water. With Pakistan ignoring the need of storing more water as the storage limit of existing dams shrink, Pakistan can face severe shortages and floods. Why the extremes? With no way to store excess water, and a neigboring coutnry with power to release or stop as much water it wants, Pakistan has opened itself to enormous danegers.  How to solve Pakistan's water crisis? Two words: Build dams. Build the most important dam. Build Kalabagh Dam. According to a report in The Nation, Kalabagh Dam is expected to be a 265 feet high earth filled dam. It will have a storage capacity of more than 6 Million Acre Feet. That can easily fulfill needs of almost all of Pakistan. In this article we will be quoting many of the figures from the above detailed report. The...

A tragic turn of events led to injury of Mo Salah, the man titled Egyptian King. Sergio Ramos's antics made the final of UEFA 2018 a one to remember for Salah. For all the wrong reasons. The injury caused by a dirty/questionable tackle by Sergio has raised many eyebrows. Egypt went berserk as they viewed the tackle live on TV and the anger multiplied with the news of Mo Salah being out of the World Cup due to a dislocated soldier. Sad time for him. Sad time for Egypt. All shocked. But how did everyone reacted? Let's check out some below! First let's check out how Egypt reacted to the injury: The anger isn't going anywhere... #Ramos_The_Animal Fans slam Ramos for what he did before Salah went off in tears https://t.co/H6VnvgA6SP — Ahmed Anwer (@Ahmedmixlogy) May 26, 2018 The ref was accused... @LFC The refree was unfair, standing few meters away and he saw clearly how @SergioRamos attacked @MoSalah with his usual violence intentionally, a...

Who isn't fed up with the chaotic lives of our cities? Who doesn't want an escape from the noisy and polluted concrete jungles? I don't think there are any who would reply in affirmative to these questions. Almost all of us want a retreat. Some head to beach, some head to the jungles and some want to vanish in the mountains. But there is a catch: Do you have the money? You want to go to the beach? The far-east countries have you covered at a minimal cost. Want a jungle trip? South Africa and other African nations will get you everything in lowest prices. But what about the mountains? The snow peaks, glaciers, valleys and rivers; all of them remind us of Switzerland. But is it even an option for most of us? The answer is probably a 'no' and the reason is again: 'money'. It's sheer expensive! However we will tell you how you can experience Switzerland for a fraction. If you're thinking of #Switzerland , it's best to stick to a #budget ...

'My father gave me this Inverter Wala AC on my wedding...' 'I got this million rupee furniture from my dad..' 'I got all the latest appliances from Daddy Jee on my wedding...' 'Here, you check this car? That's my wedding gift. Thank you Dad!'  Above are the few lines you will hear from many of the newlywed girls proudly announcing the 'gifts' they got from their parents on their wedding. You will find them telling that to their friends, relatives or their dozens of followers on their Snapchat. Many of the listeners having a parent who cannot afford to compete with these 'standards'. A papa will now be under pressure to match those 'standards' of the society by hook or by crook. A girl will now begin an agonizing wait while her dad runs around finding an answer of an unending maze. And God forbid the girl isn't lucky to have a father... What happens next is anyone's guess.  That's the ugly...
