    ‘Let Ruet-e-Hilal have some limelight as well,’ jokes Vasay Chaudhry

    Vasay Chaudhry has subtly mocked the Ruet-e-Hilal committee over their Eid announcement process.

    Responding to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ARY Digital Network Jerjees (JJ) Seja, who questioned why the committee needs a prolonged live press conference, Chaudhry said: “JJ bhai. Some people get to be on TV just twice a year and only for 30 minutes each.”

    “Not everyone is as lucky as Badami,” he added cheekily. “So let them have some limelight as well yaar.”

    Later, replying to Vasay’s comments, Seja said: “Then some people should start doing what Waseem Badami does and limelight will automatically be their way.”

    “Till then please footage zaya na karein,” he added.

    Badami, who is currently hosting Shaan-e-Ramzan on ARY Digital, is one of Pakistan’s most renowned television hosts.

    Restaurant near Naran shelters 500 stranded tourists

    With the monsoon rains lashing their fury throughout the country, the northern areas are experiencing heavy landsliding. And considering it is the summer (and holiday) season, loads of Pakistanis were enjoying the weather up north. As they made their way back to their cities, the climatic changes brought some problems for them.

    The heavy rains have caused land sliding which has resulted in unsafe and blocked roads. Many tourists were stuck in their cars until a restaurant in Baser “Moon Restaurant”  became their safe haven.

    Considering that Moon Restaurant was a restaurant, not a hotel, the owners were quick to lay out charpaais for the stranded tourists. The tourists were also served warm halwa and tea. The restaurant’s management did not charge anything for their occupancy.  The management of the restaurant handled the situation so well that the people couldn’t stop praising it.

    Realising that they were stuck there for a while, the tourists started to share blankets, quilts, and warm clothes. Tourists left the next morning with a wonderful experience that leaves anyone all warm and fuzzy inside.
