At a time when Indian leadership is snubbing Pakistan’s efforts for regional peace, a video of Indian cricketing stalwart Virat Kohli mimicking Pakistan’s latest internet sensation — the ‘Peechay Tou Dekho’ kid — has emerged.
Ahmed Shah has taken social media by storm ever since his “Peechay Tou Dekho” video started making rounds over the internet.

“Who is that behind [you]? Who is that?” he can be heard as saying in the video that shows how a Pakistani kid is winning hearts across the border.
Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington is undergoing treatment after the end of the HBO television series in which he starred as the heartthrob Jon Snow.
His representative shared that “Kit has decided to utilise this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues.”
The statement did not give details of his issues, but The New York Post’s Page Six column said that the ending of the show hit Harington hard and he checked into the wellness centre where he will be treated for stress, exhaustion and alcohol use.
Page Six added that Harington checked into the clinic several weeks before the medieval fantasy series came to an end on May 19.
Harington, 32, propelled to world stardom with Game of Thrones, in which he played the role of the courageous Snow, whose actions in the final episode were one of the show’s biggest shockers.
Harington, who married his Game of Thrones co-star Rose Leslie in 2018, told Variety earlier this year that he had previously found it hard to deal with the fame and attention the show brought, calling it “terrifying.”
Eid is (almost) here and it is time to put together your Eid look. While clothes, casual, semi-formal and formal joray are easily available, getting the perfect pair of shoes for Eid can be a bit of a task. Especially given that the dollar has reached a dizzying high and our favourite Micheal Kors slides are now out of budget. Hence, The Current decided to put together a list of shoes you can easily purchase here in Pakistan at affordable prices.
Cocoon has a lovely variety of slides and heels which are comfortable and give the feel of designer shoes but at an affordable price. So if you’re looking for some stylish yet practical footwear to pair with your eid joras, Cocoon is your place to go.
Another online retailer, Chapter 13 stocks an eye-catching variety of embellished slides, khussa and kolapuris. The best part is that a lot of their shoes are on the fancier (and pricier) side which makes them perfect for the upcoming Eid daawats as well as shaadi functions.
Miaasa’s has a golden variety of slides and sandals, which will perfectly pair with your eid formals. The good news is that they also have children’s footwear range available online. Hence, one for you and one for your little one.
Soma combines style and comfort to present a collection of shoes which are perfect for everyday wear. But their beaded khussas are their bestsellers and your best friend for all the eid dawats.
P.s. Maya Ali and Ayeza Khan are often spotted wearing khussas from Soma.
Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has proposed that death penalty be fixed for all those involved in child sexual abuse cases, a private media outlet quoted PM’s Special Adviser on Information Firdous Ashiq Awan as saying.
She said that the premier, during a meeting of the federal cabinet on Tuesday, expressed concern over the rise in misuse of internet for child pornography and subsequent increase in incidents of child sexual abuse.
“He [PM Imran] addressed the ministries of human rights, law and interior in detail and gave them the responsibility of analysing the existing juvenile laws regarding sexual exploitation, rape of children and other violent behaviours,” she said.
Awan added that all three ministries have been instructed to prepare an implementation plan and bring it before the cabinet so that the growing menace can be curbed with an effective law besides a mechanism of deterrence and awareness.
CHILD ABUSE IN PAKISTAN:
A recent minor rape and murder case is of 10-year-old Farishta, who was abducted from Islamabad earlier this month. The culprits are still at large, while at least two police officials have been arrested for negligence on PM Imran’s orders.
According to a report released by NGO Sahil last month, cases of child abuse increased by 11 per cent in 2018 as compared to 2017, with more than 10 children suffering from some form of abuse every day in Pakistan.
Last year had begun with the horrific rape and murder of six-year-old Zainab Ansari, sparking widespread outrage and protests across the country after the minor’s body was found in a trash heap in Kasur on January 9.
‘#JusticeforZainab’ became a rallying cry for an end to violence against children and Imran Ali, who was convicted for the rape and murder, was executed nine months after the child’s death.
A new study by a leading expert in happiness has revealed that unmarried and childless women are the happiest and are more likely to live longer.
Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioural science at the London School of Economics, said the latest evidence showed that the traditional markers used to measure success did not correlate with happiness – particularly marriage and raising children. He said that married people only say they’re happy when their spouse is in the room. But when they’re not, they say they’re miserable.
He further shared that men benefited from marriage because they “calmed down, took fewer risks, earned more money at work, and lived a little longer.” Their health even benefited from marriage. Women’s health, on the other hand, remained mostly unaffected, though middle-aged married women are at higher risk of physical and mental conditions than their single counterparts. They are also likely to die earlier.
“The healthiest and happiest population subgroup are women who never married or had children,” Dolan said.
While other studies have measured some financial and health benefits in being married, for both men and women on average, Dolan says those could be attributed to higher incomes and emotional support, which allow married people to take risks and seek medical help.
Despite the benefits of a single, childless lifestyle for women, Dolan said that the existing narrative that marriage and children were signs of success meant that the stigma could lead some single women to feel unhappy.
When it comes to cricket we all are united. 23 years after Junoon gave us Jazba Junoon, the trio is back with a new cricket anthem. While it doesn’t quite match up to the epicness that was Jazba Junoon, Choolay Aasman is also a brilliant melody and echoes Junoon’s signature style giving their die-hard fans a wonderful treat.
The song features people from different walks of life, including minorities, differently-abled persons and members of the transgender community, celebrating their love for cricket and, in a way, being closer to each other than ever. The song finishes with a young man covering up hateful drawings and transforming it into a beautifully painted wall which says “Laga do Chakka.”
Meanwhile, Coke’s official World Cup song is set to release next week.
The Cricket World Cup 2019 will be held from May 30 to July 14 in the United Kingdom.
