TikTok,
the famous app for lip-syncing and comedy videos is very popular in Pakistan
among youngsters. Tik Tok provides good fun content for time pass. A young man
from Jhelum got himself into trouble by making a TikTok video with a gun.
According to the reports, Sajid Khan posted a short video with a pistol and some desi music on TikTok. He was holding an illegal pistol in that video.
The Police, on the instructions of DPO Jhelum, have prisoned him for illegal possession of a 30-bore pistol after a private news channel pointed out the violation of the law.

The historic meeting between Prime Minister Imran Khan and US President Donald Trump is scheduled to take place Monday and PM Imran has a special gift for him.
According to reports, PM Khan has taken a camel skin vase which has a unique portrait of the US president on it.
The artist behind the vase Hanifullah Khan says that the art of creating such vases is one of the oldest crafts in Multan. He shared that creating such vases are difficult because making the surface of the vase smooth enough to paint requires technique and expertise. Though making a vase for Trump was a proud moment for him, Khan remarked that it was a feat because he wanted the finished product to be perfect.
Hanifullah has previously also made portraits of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on vases.
PM Imran landed in Washington DC on Sunday for his first official visit to the US, which he is undertaking on the invitation of President Trump.
After severe backlash, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has withdrawn the decision that made it compulsory for air travelers to plastic-wrap their checked luggage.
Notifying the compulsion, CAA had said it was implemented for the safety of passengers and the price for wrapping each piece of baggage was set at Rs50.
New wrapping machines were to also be installed at airport check-in areas, however, the decision was severely criticised by travelers as well as environmentalists, which led to the reversion.
Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Jahangir Tareen was among those who criticised the notification.
Just came across a very illogical notification issued by the CAA. Forcing passengers to wrap their luggage is not on. People should have the right to decide whether they want their luggage wrapped or not. The notification should be withdrawn asap. pic.twitter.com/lEyFhOcAJR

Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari notified the withdrawal on Twitter saying that it was never a federal government decision as it was not discussed by the cabinet.
The plastic covering for outgoing baggage notification is wrong. Federal govt was incorrectly mentioned as Federal Govt means Cabinet and no such issue was even discussed in Cabinet let alone decided upon.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Climate Change Zartaj Gul Wazir has posted a video clarifying that the wrapping was mandatory only for Hajj flights as it was a requirement of the government of Saudi Arabia.

Who doesn’t want to be a billionaire? I mean is that even a question to ask. But the problem is that becoming a billionaire is not an easy task. Author of the book How Rich People Think Steve Siebold says “getting rich begins with the way you think and what you believe about making money.”
Here are seven mental tricks, outlined by Siebold, that rich people use to make money.
1. They believe that they have enough money even when they don’t
Rich
people are not afraid to borrow money from anyone. If they have a great idea
which they’re unable to finance, they execute their plan by using other
people’s money to make it happen.
2. They set high expectations
The rich set their expectations exceptionally high. No one would ever strike it rich and live their dreams without huge expectations. Ancient wisdom says you get what you expect.
3. Making money is a game for them
Making money is like a game for rich people. This is the reason why people who are already millionaires go to work every day with the aim to jump to the next level.
The interest and enthusiasm for playing the game urges them to constantly raise their level of expectations. The more excited they get, the harder they work and the more they succeed.
4. They personify money and see it as their friend
Rich people consider money as one of their greatest friends. A friend who can end sleepless nights of worry, physical pain, and mental stress. Wealthy people believe money can solve problems and purchase peace of mind.
5. They are not afraid of fear
Rich
people block out fear. They think at a level where everything is possible.
Every task that seems difficult or impossible to the masses looks practical to
the rich people.
They
already keep in mind that becoming a billionaire is not an easy task and they
have to be out of their comfort zone for like forever.
6. They think that getting rich is natural
Rich people think that becoming a billionaire is natural. Instead of thinking why me, they say why not me? This behaviour of being optimistic about themselves guarantees their success.
7. They tell themselves that they deserve to be rich
They not only think that getting rich is natural but they think that it is their right. World-class thinkers know in a capitalist country they have the right to be rich while the masses think getting rich is only for a lucky few. This distinction in thinking leads the middle class to the lottery and the world-class to work.
A 10-year-old Pakistani girl has broken records to become the youngest climber anywhere in the world to scale a 7,000-metre-high mountain.
Selena Khawaja, who started climbing from the age of eight, broke the record after summiting the 7,027-metre-tall Spantik peak on Wednesday. Spantik or Golden Peak is a mountain in the Karakoram subrange in Gilgit Baltistan’s Nagar Valley.
This is not the first time Selena has broken a record. She was just nine years old when she became the youngest to scale the 5,765m high Quz Sar Peak, and then successfully summited Mingli Sar (6050m) in June 2018, before setting her sights on Spantik this year.
Selena aims to scale the world’s 12th highest mountain, Broad Peak (8,051 metres) also this year before heading towards the 8,848-metre-high Mount Everest, the world’s tallest.

Nonetheless, media reports from Karachi are saying that a weird, mysterious creature has been spotted in Shershah scrap market sparking fear among traders who have businesses there. Traders are now closing their shops earlier than before.
The guard who has seen this creature claims that this creature is approximately 5 feet tall and dark-coloured with two glowing eyes. He recounted that this started about eight days ago when he was fulfilling his duties outside a warehouse. He said that he heard dogs barking nearby and got up from his chair to see what was going on. As he walked towards where the noise was coming from, Gulzar said that he felt a strange sensation before he spotted a “strange creature.” He immediately ran away. Gulzar said he has been working as a watchman for the last 25 years but has never seen anything like this before.
Local initially believed that Gulzar was making up stories, but the next day, another watchman, Abdul Qayyum, claimed to have spotted the creature as he was taking a round of the area. This has sparked fear and panic among the locals.
Shopkeepers also believe that this creature is killing their animals and sucking their blood. They have submitted their reports and concerns to the local police station.
Meanwhile, some people believe that this is just an elaborate plan to scare the locals. Whatever the matter may be, it does sound a little eerie.
Ever felt like you’ve entered a new world just by walking up two steps? That’s Okra Test Kitchen – a small off-shoot of Okra, one of Karachi’s most loved fine dining restaurants.
Okra’s well known for pushing the boundaries and creating fancy phoo-phoo food. But it’s also homey, organic and comforting. Many uncles and aunties would say, 1000 Rupees for an “anday ka omelette” isn’t worth it, but with the younger lot, knowing the main guy, Vincent, and getting a table for Sunday Brunch is equal to hanging out with Kareena Kapoor in London.

Okra Test Kitchen doesn’t have that kind of pressure. A very small place, with three, four tables, it’s walk-in only. And when you walk in, take a deep breath.
It smells like Paris, freshly baked bread, croissants, soft music, the soft clinking of cutlery, the bright light streaming in from the large window. Breathe it all in and take the corner table.
Some of the most enviable Instagram moments are images of small cafes, on bright sunny days, scintillating conversation, softly munching on bread. That’s what Okra Test Kitchen has managed to achieve. A place that sings Europe with such authenticity that you feel like you’re on vacation. It’s okay if you’ve come out in your lounge pants and you really don’t know Vincent. But the thing is, you don’t need to.

The menu hangs on the wall, the chefs greet you from the small, makeshift kitchen, cooking right there, baking right there. You order right where the menu hangs, you ask for a coffee from the coffee machine you can see.
If you make it to heaven, you’ll ask for an Okra Test Kitchen croissant. If you live outside Karachi, you’ll take boxes with you because you won’t find it anywhere else. You’ll never say this out loud but you know that Parisian croissants have nothing on the incredibly soft, flaky, crunch of the Karachi Croissant. You’ll ask for more, and if it’s not your day, they’ll be sold out.

The scrambled eggs are moist and fluffy, slow-cooked but without much comfort. The maritozzo, a sweet Utalian brioche bun, filled with cream, is light but doesn’t do much for the Pakistani palette, except making you start to count calories. However, the Portuguese custard tarts are sweet and delightful, joy filled in their crust.
Okra Test Kitchen is all about the bread, the pastry, the croissants, and there is nothing else like it in Pakistan. The food is above average, (pushed up by The Forbidden Croissant) and strongly elevated by the atmosphere it has so flawlessly created. You ignore that the place is so small, you’re bound to knock off one of the bottles, precariously resting on a shelf on the wall, causing a rather embarrassing stir, promising to pay for it but not having to in the end. You ignore that sometimes you’ll walk in and never get a place to sit but are willing to wait a good hour just so you can stay there and breathe. You will go back, week after week, just so you can step into a different universe, one that promises a mini vacation for an hour or two. It’s an hour or more, of first world peace, before you step back into the grime of Karachi, relishing the time when you could get away and be transported to the streets of Europe.
