Rumor has it that OPPO is once again dropping a revolutionary handset in Pakistan that will take the mobile photography game to a next level with its Quad Camera.
Yes, after the success of the rising shark fin, OPPO is launching the Reno 2 series in Pakistan later this month.
We have some information on the Reno 2 launch and we are here to give you solid facts about the new Quad Camera beast that is coming our way.
The Reno 2’s state-of-the-art rear quad cameras are most likely going to be 48MP+8MP+13MP+2MP and support a 5x Hybrid Zoom as well. The front camera is nothing to scoff at either, the Reno 2 boasts a solid 16MP front camera with a sliding shark-fin pivot structure like its predecessor.
With their Ultra Dark Mode, Ultra Steady Video and AI technology, the Reno 2’s cameras are perfect not just for low-light situations but also for taking super steady photos videos while you are on the move. And with the front camera’s soft light support for ultra-clear backlit shots making every selfie you take a work of art. The Reno 2 really makes preserving memories easier than ever!
On top of the amazing camera features the Reno 2 is also expected to have a 4000 mAh battery supported by an upgraded high-speed charging ability with VOOC 3.0 that has been making OPPO phone batteries last longer than charge faster than ever.
The phone is expected to run on the new Android-based ColorOS 6.1 system. And for all the gamers out there, not only does it have the Hyper Boost 2.0, it also has Touch Boost 2.0 and Frame Boost 2.0 for a high-end and lag-free gaming experience.
That’s all we’ve learned so far but that is already given us so much to look forward to! We can’t wait for OPPO to launch the Reno 2. It’s definitely a phone to look out for!
Peshawar is changing and there are a lot of emerging talented young female entrepreneurs.Therefore I decided to interview one such successful business woman.Most of us know her for her delicious mouth watering desserts.Yes! i am talking none other then ”Sinfully Sweet”.The masterminds behind these desserts are Durkhanay Ijaz and her sister.They were the first to introduce desserts in a jar.If you haven’t tried these amazing desserts,believe me you need to go and grab your jar!
I have picked out very interesting and helpful questions for the interview.So if you are an young entrepreneur who is thinking of starting their own business or if your just a person looking for a little inspiration to pursue your dreams you definitely need to go through this.
Q1. How did you get the idea for your business?
Sinfully sweet was initiated by my sister. She’s always been very innovative in the kitchen. Always coming up with very cool desserts etc. She also felt that in Peshawar we had absolutely no choice of desserts. All you could get was ice cream or cake and she wanted to change that. She did it in a very cool and different way by introducing desserts in jars. I loved the idea and jumped on board.
Q2. To what do you attribute your success?
Our success is definitely a gift from Allah. It just worked out. We’ve put in way too much effort in it. Also the key to our success would be actually enjoying our work. It’s been a roller coaster and tons of fun. Coming up with new desserts to naming them it’s all been so great. Alhamdulillah. You can only excel at something that you love doing and i love ‘Sinfully Sweet’ with all my heart.
Q3. What makes your business unique/different than the rest in Peshawar?
I guess it’s different in a way that it’s super original. The concept, the whole idea behind it is from the heart. It was something we wanted and so we made it available for the people of Peshawar to indulge in. It’s unique because of its originality. For example you can only find happy layers at one place and that’s at ‘Sinfully sweet’.
Q4. What is your inspiration?
My inspiration for my work and personal life are very different. For my work I am inspired by every young entrepreneur in Peshawar. Everyone is doing so well and it always motivates me to do better. Making Peshawar proud is a collective goal i think. Personally I am inspired by every strong woman I have read about or known.
Q5. Where do you see your business in the next 5 years?
In the next 5 years i see my business flourishing and spreading beyond Peshawar and Islamabad. Everyone will know what Sinfully Sweet is and everyone will love it.
Q6. If you have one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
This is the most important thing I have learnt after starting up my own business. Do not expect profit the moment you start. Do not expect people to just do things your way. Don’t expect anything like that; it only happens in the movies. Prepare to work like a mad person and prepare to shed some tears. It’s all gonna be worth it.
Q7. According to you, what are the top three skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur?
Determination times 3. If you are determined to do well then you will. Nothing can be big enough or hard enough to bring you down.
Q8. What problems have you faced as a woman in our society?
In the beginning we got tremendous support from our family and people outside our family. However as our business started to grow I sensed that since our society is extremely male-dominated, I met a lot of people who doubted my skills as a businesswoman merely because I am a woman. I do plan to change this mind set and it only motivates me to work harder.
Q9. What are your views about the growing number of female entrepreneurs in Peshawar?
It makes me so proud. It’s wonderful to see so much talent and hard work around me. It just shows how times are changing. Us girls are finally breaking stereotypes about how we can’t go out and prove ourselves in the real world. I always pray that every single woman or girl who is working to bring a change in her life or a change in the society succeeds in every way possible.
Q10. Do you think that Peshawar is changing in terms of Women Empowerment? What are your thoughts on that?
Peshawar has definitely progressed a lot when it comes to the situation around women but to be honest it’s still nowhere close to where it should be. We, as women, need to work extra hard to bring the kind of change we need.
”Always be determined to follow your dreams” -Durkhanay Ijaz
My friends are always asking me to recommend them good movies to watch because I am a movie addict. So I decided to write a blog about it. Well, summer break is almost over. All of us have to go back to school, college or university, so why not enjoy our last week of freedom with some awesome movies, right? Below are 10 of my favorite movies (I have covered every genre); if you have missed out on any of these movies, you “need” to watch these and I assure that you will enjoy them.
The Perks of being a Wallflower-2012
This movie is so beautiful probably because it’s based on a book by Stephen Chbosky. It revolves around a socially awkward teen and his journey experiencing friendship, love, music and his dreams to be a writer which is why this movie is so rich in literature and inspiration. This movie will move you and teach you so much about life. One of my favorite quote from this film is “We accept the love we think we deserve”. Also Emma Watson stars in this as the main lead so no one would want to miss this movie especially the boys.
Dark Skies-2013
This movie lies in the horror/thriller genre. For all you thrill seeking people, this movie is perfect. It is about a peaceful family who becomes a target of some horrifying events. This movie is very unpredictable and will leave you speechless.
The Wedding Ringer-2015
A comedy movie that will literally make you laugh out loud. Imagine being a loser in high school and finally it’s your wedding day but you have no one to be your bestman.Did you know you could hire a best man? Yes, this movie is all about a loser guy (Josh Gad) who is trying to pull off a con with his fake best man (Kevin Hart).Now we wouldn’t want to miss a comedy movie with Kevin Hart would we?
Jason Bourne-2016
All you Jason Bourne fans would be excited to know that Matt Damon is back. This movie shows Bourne 10 years since he’s walked away from the agency. This is an action packed movie and fans would be happy to know that Bourne finally learns about his past and his true identity. Yes he finds out his real name!
The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay part 2-2015
If you have not watched the hunger games then you have missed the finest movie series ever. This is based on the books by Suzanne Collins. For fans, this movie was the last and it was a great end to the series. We finally find out who Katniss ends up with. Is it Peeta or is it Gale? You will have to watch it to find out. People who enjoy adventure movies will surely love this.
Zootopia-2016
This is an animated movie and it’s really cute. It is about an adorable bunny that goes through all odds and finally becomes a police officer. Then she comes across a mysterious case and she is determined to solve it with the help of a fox, and prove herself to the chief. This is the perfect movie to watch with family.
Safe Haven-2013
How can I miss a Nicolas sparks movie from my list? Well, I am a huge fan of his novels/movies but this is my favorite. It’s about a girl who moves to a small town trying to keep a low profile. However she falls for a handsome widower and then all the drama begins and secrets from her past begin to unveil.
The Awakening-2011
This is another thriller/horror. Sorry, but I can’t resist my love for a scare. If you enjoy movies like “The conjuring” then you will for sure enjoy this. This movie is set in England and its shows the post World War 1 era. It is about a ghost hunter. She goes to a boys boarding school to investigate a haunting.
Hot Pursuit-2015
This is a comedy/action movie about a policewoman Cooper and the wife of a drug lord. All Cooper has to do is to take the wife of the druglord, Daniella to Dallas so that she can testify against her husband. But the plan gets ambushed due to some bad cops. These two women must tolerate each other and survive the situation. This movie is genuinely hilarious. I must say Reese Witherspoon and Sophia Vergara played their roles well.
The Secret Life of Pets-2016
This is an adorable animated movie which is all about the pets living in New York City. It revolves around a pet dog Max who is enjoying life but then his owner brings a new giant dog Duke. They both hate each other face so many crazy situation together like finding their way home while running away from their enemies the “abandoned pets”. This is a great movie for some family time.
What is happiness? Its definition is vast, it varies from person to person. Everyone has a picture of a perfect life in which they are happy. Let’s see happiness from the eyes of different people.
For most people happiness is being rich, having the perfect family no fights nothing, travelling the world, eating all kinds of food, driving in a limo and getting whatever they want.
For rich people happiness is being at the top. They want to be the richest among their class. They want all the power in the world and they will do anything to get that.
For a poor person happiness is being rich, being able to have food, being able to provide for your family and being able to have a home.
For unsuccessful people happiness is longing to reverse time and wishing they could go back to fix their mistakes and make the right choices. They hate their past and wish to change it, to take it all back.
For old people happiness is going back to the time when they were young, active, alive and full of life. When they could remember things that matter and not have memory lapses or symptoms of old age like white hair or wrinkles. They crave to be young again.
For envious and competitive people happiness is being the best at whatever you want whether its popularity, beauty or intelligence. Everyone in this world is competing with one another and trying to be at the top of their profession.
For people who have lost their loved ones, happiness is going back in time to your mother, father, husband, wife, child, brother, sister or friend and saving them. Aching to hold, touch or hear their loved ones voice once again.
But what is happiness really?
Its reality is only being happy no matter what condition or state you are in. Not regretting over your past, not holding on to the things you have lost along your way, accepting your fate or destiny and being happy the way you are!!
They say change is inevitable, it is certain to happen, then how come we humans never change? Think about it. Have you ever changed anything about yourself? We all talk about how we want to change ourselves, like a bad habit or a bad quality that we possess. Despite talking about it, we never make an effort to do so.
Look at our country for example; politicians talk about bringing change in our country. Has anything really changed? We always blame the government about not being able to bring about change when we in fact can’t even change ourselves. Yes it’s easy to say “we want change” but do nothing to be part of that change.
I remember this quote of Rumi which truly moved me: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself”. This quotation got me thinking about how I could change myself. Then I realized it was simple, only if I am willing to try.
The key to change is to accept our mistakes and weaknesses. When you admit to yourself that you are wrong, whether it’s about what you believe or about something you have done. It is only in that moment when you accept your fault, can you make an effort to change it. Living in denial is of no use. We all are humans and it is in our nature to make mistakes. We are not perfect, we have flaws and therefore we make blunders. It is only when we accept them can we bring change within ourselves. It is only when we accept our faults; we can change to be a better person. So start small by getting rid of a bad habit like smoking or being rude or arrogant or anything that you don’t like about yourself. Slowly and gradually you can bring change within yourself. With change you can learn to be a better person, a better version of yourself or the kind of person you want to become. If you can do something like bringing a change within yourself then you can sure as hell bring a change in our country. So always remember to “Be the change!”
Most of you must be unaware with the term NZT but don’t worry I will tell you all about it. Ever watched the movie limitless, or the TV show of the same name? Well those of you who have know that NZT is a neuro-cognitive enhancing drug that unlocks the full potential of the human brain and boosts its user’s mental abilities. It helps you achieve the impossible, hence the name “limitless”. For those who haven’t watched the movie or the show, I highly recommend that you do because it is amazing to see what the human brain is capable of. I won’t exactly tell you what the movie/show is about but I am sure after reading this you have a slight idea.
The NZT-48 pill lasts about 12 hours. Imagine what you can achieve with that.Remember it’s your one and only chance to get the Pill.What would I do if I took NZT for a day? While most people would do crazy things like climb a really tall building with their bare hands or go into a lion’s cage. I would prefer to use my NZT pill more wisely. No, it doesn’t make me a boring person, wouldn’t you want to use your pill productively on something that is useful to you even after the pill wears out. You can use it at your shot of instant success. Well I have always wanted to write a novel but honestly I never get the time to do so, you know how busy student life is *sigh*. Yes NZT would probably make it so easy to complete my book, I would be able to have all the concentration in the world. I would be able to complete a novel in 6 hours while other people take years to do so. Not only will I become an author but hopefully I would become famous and earn millions(considering my novel is a success). The rest of the time I have I would use to go to a brokerage firm like Bradley Cooper and earn millions in just a day. Or I would invest in a multinational company. When the effects finally wear down I would be a millionaire and can live my dream of travelling the world and I would do all those crazy things like sky diving,bungee jumping etc. See I told you I am not boring, just have a proper plan.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as NZT-48 but there is no harm in a little fantasizing and letting our imagination run wild? So the question is what would you do in those 12 hours? I would love to read your crazy ideas in the comments below.
What is happiness? Its definition is vast, it varies from person to person. Everyone has a picture of a perfect life in which they are happy. Let’s see happiness from the eyes of different people.
