  • Woman seeks vaccinated groom in viral matrimonial ad

    Woman seeks vaccinated groom in viral matrimonial ad

    A matrimonial advertisement of a woman looking for a vaccinated groom, has gone viral on the internet. In the ad, a 24-year-old self-employed woman claims that she is fully vaccinated and is looking for a man who must also be completely vaccinated. The newspaper-clipping style advertisement went so viral in India that Indian politician Shashi Tharoor tweeted about it, asking, “No doubt the preferred marriage gift will be a booster shot!? Is this going to be our New Normal?”

    The ad also stated that the girl wanted a post graduate, independent, patient, humourous and well-read partner. While the man also seemed too good to be true, the ad was also apparently a fake.

    According to the Indian Express, the ad was ‘launched’ by a man from Goa, to convince people to get the COVID vaccine. Created by Savio Figueiredo, a community pharmacist, the ad had Savio’s original phone number listed and he says that his phone has not stopped ringing since it was posted on Facebook. The 58-year-old man told the Indian Express that he had posted it to raise awareness on Facebook for the vaccine, and someone picked it up, stating it was real and it had gone viral ever since. He says that even if 10 people get vaccinated because of the ad, it is worth the constant ringing of his telephone (possibly from prospective suitors).

    Major cities in India have relaxed the lockdown rules as COVID-19 cases settle down. Pakistan also is reporting a drop in cases with the positivity rate under three per cent for the first time in four months.

  • Bilawal slams PML-N’s Ahsan Iqbal, calls him ‘office-bearer on paper’

    Bilawal slams PML-N’s Ahsan Iqbal, calls him ‘office-bearer on paper’

    Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday criticised the government over the Ghotki train accident and said that he was shocked at the ‘callous’ attitude of the government.

    Differences between the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) also became visible in the National Assembly (NA) session when PML-N’s Ahsan Iqbal criticised the chair for giving the floor to the PPP chairman before him. Ahsan Iqbal said that being from the largest Opposition party, it was his right to get the floor first. When Bilawal took the floor again, he hit out at Iqbal and the PML-N and termed him an “office-bearer only on papers”.

    Responding to Bilawal’s remarks, Ahsan Iqbal tweeted, “PTI attacks him [Bilawal] for a will written on a piece of paper. I don’t know why he felt the need to attack me with this piece of paper issue.”

    Speaking on the floor, Bilawal said a tragic incident has occurred in Ghotki and lamented that a poor person’s life is not safe during travel via the railways.

    “They (government) do political point-scoring even when an incident like these happen,” he said, adding, “I want to convey a message to the affectees of the crash: We stand with you and demand answers from the authorities.”

    Later in the day, Bilawal tweeted that his request to suspend all other business to discuss Ghotki train accident was denied by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri.

    “PM, railway minister not in NA to answer why in three years of this government we’ve had more train accidents than any other govt in history of Pakistan. Shocked at callous attitude of govt,” he added.

    Throwback Video: Iman Ali gets mobbed by Indian media post dinner with Ranbir Kapoor

    The Indian media caught Ranbir Kapoor and Iman Ali spending a night out together when they were stepping out of a private meeting. The two decided to leave the venue on different vehicles to avoid media speculation.

    Ranbir left the venue in his lavish car and Iman left in an auto-rickshaw, consciously trying to hide her face. Imtiaz Ali was also seen leaving the same building with them.

    Indian media speculated Ranbir and Iman’s private hangout to be fancier than it seemed but later reported Iman being closer to the Jab We Met director, Imtiaz Ali.

    The video went viral at the time but the stars chose to remain tight-lipped about the incident.

    Here is an image from the video clip:

    Iman tied the knot with Babar Bhatti on February 21, 2019, and is happily married. While Ranbir is currently dating actress Alia Bhatt and plans to marry her soon, as he revealed in an interview with Rajeev Masand.

    Amazon billionaire, Jeff Bezos will fly to space with his brother Mark Bezos next month, on the first human spaceflight. The spacecraft are being made by his company, Blue Origin. The automated capsules with no pilot will include six passengers, including the winner of an ongoing auction taking place for a seat. After that, the remaining seats will be up for sale.

    In an Instagram video, the world’s richest person, Bezos disclosed that ever since he was five years old, he has dreamed of traveling to space.

    If the mission is successful, Bezos will leave behind Tesla and Space X founder Elon Musk. and British entrepreneur Richard Branson, who are also hoping to fly to space by the end of this year.

    As per reports, the total flight time would be 11 minutes approximately. The mission is to get ahead of the Karman line known as “an imaginary boundary” which is about 62 miles above the Earth and hundred kilometers above sea level.

    Blue Origin was founded by Bezos in 2000 with the mission of cheap traveling to space and reusable launch systems.

    The news came after the announcement made by Bezos in February that he would step down as the CEO of Amazon and would focus on his other work.
