  • Why is India hosting the World Cup with empty stadiums?

    Why is India hosting the World Cup with empty stadiums?

    Social media users are questioning the decision by the ICC to let India host the World Cup when there is no opening ceremony and barely any spectators in the first match.

    Interestingly, when the Asia Cup was being partially hosted by Pakistan, some Indians criticized the ‘empty stadium’ in Multan. Now, the tables have turned, India is the host, the first match is between New Zealand and England, finalists of the last World Cup, and the stadium is empty. There was no opening ceremony for ICC World Cup 2023 and honestly, we can’t see spectators either.

    This one’s hilarious, to be honest, does this remind you of Asif Zardari too?

    Twitter user Ahsan Shehzad said, “A complete empty stadium in Ahmedabad, is India the right place to host the WC??”

  • World unites over Twitter debate that Swedes don’t let you eat if you are at their house

    World unites over Twitter debate that Swedes don’t let you eat if you are at their house

    A Twitter thread went viral recently in which people shared their experiences of visiting Swedish homes and not being served food.

    A question was posted on Reddit: “What is the weirdest thing you had to do at someone else’s house because of their culture/religion?”

    One of the users replied, “I remember going to my Swedish friend’s house. And while we we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to wait in his room while they ate.”

    “I slept over a friends house. When we woke up, he said he was going downstairs for a few minutes. After about 15 minutes I go on the stairs to see wtf is happening and they are eating breakfast. They see me and tell me he has almost done and will be up there soon. I still think about it 25 years later,” another user replied.

    People on social media are finding this tradition a little “weird”. Have a look at some of the reactions:

  • Is Shahnawaz Dahani ‘overrated’? Divided battle rages on Twitter

    Is Shahnawaz Dahani ‘overrated’? Divided battle rages on Twitter

    Young pacer from Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans Shahnawaz Dahani on Monday failed to impress fans with his bowling figures and the recent spanking in the match against Quetta Gladiators pushed him in hot waters as Pakistani Twitter is discussing if Dahani is overrated.

    Dahani was less accurate in the penultimate over and fortunate not to see more slot balls dispatched, leaking 15 in his six deliveries. While he conceaded 33 runs in his two overs.

    We have collected some reactions of the Twitterati, where they are discussing that if the young pacer needs to improve his game while some are suggesting to give him another chance. Have a look:

    David Willey’s last over wickets and Shan Masood’s 88-run knock sealed the deal for the Sultans. The Gladiators were smelling victory in the last over as they needed eight runs from six balls, but Willey did not let them get the better of the Sultans at the National Stadium.

    Willey dismissed two players, Sohail Tanvir (13) and Naseem Shah (1) to take Sultans to a 6-run victory, as Gladiators were all-out at 168, with a ball remaining.

    Khushdil Shah, Willey, and Imran Tahir picked up three wickets.

    Earlier, in the match against Lahore Qalandars, the pacer from Larkana had conceaded 44 runs in his 4 overs, taking only one wicket.

  • Social media calls for boycott of anti-Christmas bakeries, Delizia refuses to comment

    Social media calls for boycott of anti-Christmas bakeries, Delizia refuses to comment

    People on social media are calling out two bakeries in Karachi for refusing to write “Merry Christmas” on cakes. A Facebook user on a Facebook group wrote, “Shame on Delizia and Auntie Muanaver’s Food and Dessert for their jahalat. Their bigotry has no place in progressive and pluraistic Pakistan.”

    Earlier, in another post, a Facebook user posted about how a Karachi based bakery chain Delizia, refused the request of a customer to write ‘Merry Christmas’ on a cake.

    The Current reached out to Delizia for comment but their customer service representative refused to comment on the matter, saying “they are not allowed to comment.”

    The Current also tried to reach out to Auntie Muanaver’s Kitchen but no one picked up on the number provided on their Facebook page.

    People on social media are calling out the bakeries for refusing to write Merry Christmas.

    In 2018, a similar incident happened in the Badar Commercial branch of Delizia bakery when a customer was declined a cake with ‘Merry Christmas’ written on it. The staff made a similar excuse at that time as well that it was not company instructions. It was reported on another Facebook page, Karachi Food Diary.

  • Rohail Hyatt continues to defend stance on ‘rich can be harder than poor’

    Music Producer Rohail Hyatt shared a video on his Twitter account, continuing to defend his stance that being rich can be harder than being poor.

    In the video, a beggar can be seen saying that he is happy because he has no stress or fear. He says, “Although the rich take pills, they can’t sleep peacefully at night because of the constant fear of being robbed at any time.”

    Despite Hyatt’s continued defence of his opinion, Twitter criticised the music producer. Some of them even asked him to give them all of his money.

    Previously, Hyatt while replying to a question on Twitter, said, “I can go on and on but I hope you get the drift. I’m not saying being poor isn’t hard, but being rich can be harder at times. Totally depends on the mindset of the person experiencing that state.”

    His tweet made headlines and generated an online debate.

    This is not the first time that Hyatt has faced criticism. Earlier, in April, he defended Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s rape apology and got into a heated debate with singer-turned-politician Jawad Ahmad.
