    Here’s what PM Khan will be gifting Trump

    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.

    CAA takes back decision to plastic-wrap all luggage

    After severe backlash, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has withdrawn the decision that made it compulsory for air travelers to plastic-wrap their checked luggage.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.

    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.

    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.

  • 7 mind tricks the rich use to get richer

    7 mind tricks the rich use to get richer

    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.

    On top of the world: 10-year-old Pakistani girl youngest to summit 7,000-metre peak

    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.
