Every country has their own heroes. For some, it is in the shape of a Spiderman while others drool over Batman. These heroes with their superpower go beyond their limit to save humanity from all kinds of villainish atrocities and to keep everyone safe and sound in the world. However, these are all imaginary characters, we Pakistani have our own heroes that we need to celebrate. Maria Riaz Touseef came up with a brilliant idea to make a small story book for children about Abdul Sattar Edhi, better known as Edhi Baba. As we all know Edhi Baba was no less than a super hero of our own with the super power of kindness and generosity.

The book encourages youngsters and children to spend more time doing volunteer work and helping others. It instills a sense of social responsibility in the youth and urges parents to teach their children to be ge...

Our favourite couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are back together for another historical movie “Padmavati”, directed by Leela Bhansali. The movie is set to be released on 1 st  December 2017. Ranveer and Deepika however are not a couple in this movie. Deepika is playing the role of Rani Padami and Shahid Kapoor as her husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh. Ranveer on the other hand, will be seen as the villain king Allauddin Khilji of the Khilji dynasty. The movie’s budget is around 1.6 billion inr and expected to make double the price after release; however, there are a few hurdles in the way. The SRKS organization (Shri Rajput Karni Sena), a Rajput caste organization founded in 2006, based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, started a protest when there was a rumor that Leela Bhansali was trying to add romantic scenes between Khilji and Padami. The organization is strictly against movies that show Hindu girls romancing with Muslim heroes, especially historical figures. “Padmavati” is a s...

The killing of 59 innocent people in Las Vegas by Stephen Paddock, a white male, has reignited the issue of who gets to be called a terrorist. Again, reading the headlines of most of the western media houses gives us the impression that a white person can only be a lone-wolf or might have some mental issues if he ruthlessly kills dozens of innocent people. The rule is simple, for the same or even less severe crime, a Muslim perpetrator is automatically termed a terrorist, unless proven otherwise. While for white males it is the other way around. Stephen Paddock opened indiscriminate fire on a large crowd gathered for an outdoor festival in Las Vegas, killed 59 and injured 529 others, but he was instantly humanized in the mainstream media by terming him a country music lover. Despite committing the most deadliest mass shooting incident in American history, Mr. Paddock escapes the title of being called a terrorist, thanks to his white blood. Witnesses described the massacre as “nonstop g...

A 45-year-old woman from Mankhurd, Mumbai, strangled her own son to death on Tuesday evening to protect her daughter-in-law from his violence. Nadeem Naim, her 25-year-old son, was a drug-addict and routinely used to subject his wife to domestic violence. The mother, named Anwari idrisi, was arrested the next morning for the murder of her son. Nadeem married a woman from Allahabad two years ago who at the time did not know about his addiction. Soon after their marriage, he started subjecting her to severe domestic violence.  Five months ago, she left his place after being fed up of his daily violent behavior and drug abuse. Nadeem’s mother reportedly did not want her to leave so she brought her back promising her that she wouldn’t let her son do drugs or beat her again and that she will save her if it happened again. Eventually the wife gave in to her mother-in-law’s requests and came back to Mankhurd. On Tuesday night Nadeem came home under the influence of drugs. Realizing that h...

J uvenile delinquency is a problem currently affecting the population and societies round the globe. Understanding the juvenile delinquency is important for the masses in order to know what really it is and how to react to it. A widespread, continuous and chronic behavior by a psychologically identified deviant group, threatening general well being of society, is termed as antisocial behavior. Antisocial personality is thus an individual with traits which consequently prohibits him performing as normal being in a society. Juvenile delinquency, also known as juvenile offending is actually a bio-psycho-social phenomenon. Legally speaking, the definition differs cross countries.

On average, Tsimane women have nine children. Credit: Michael Gurven The healthiest hearts in the world have been found in the Tsimane people, who forage and fish in the Bolivian forests. Previous reports of Japanese women being the world’s healthiest still hold true, say researchers, but the Japanese group will be a close second to the overall health of the collective Tsimane group. Researchers looked carefully at both diet and exercise, along with CT scans to check lifestyle along with signs of clogged arteries in every age group of the hunting and gathering community. The men of the community averaged 17,000 steps per day and the women averaged 16,000 steps, with those over 60 still averaging an impressive 15,000 steps each day. This highlights the comparison of their western counterparts struggling to maintain a much lower reading of 10,000 steps per day. Their diet consists mostly of wild pig, tapir (a wild pig-like mammal), capybara (a large rodent), freshwater fish, rice, maize,...

(Photo by Jill Toyoshiba/Kansas City Star/MCT via Getty Images) When food rots, it creates methane (CH4) which has 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. If food waste was a country, it would be the world’s 3rd largest emitter of CO2. The Food waste network recently reported these facts. Food waste hurts people, costs money and harms the planet. Climate change and food security are interlinked. The former affects the latter and vice versa. Changes in climatic conditions have already affected food production. Earlier this year, a research study at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research revealed that proper management of food use and distribution may lead to immense decrease in carbon emission. The study further suggested that up to 14% of emissions from agriculture in 2050 could be avoided by better managing food use and distribution. Another research study published in the Environmental Science and Technology journal highlighted the fact that as poorer...

The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) reported in 2014 that over 54 percent of the global population lives in cities and it is expected to increase to 66 percent by 2050. It means more cars, more factories and more power plants in the cities. As cities grow, leaders are funding creative and often expensive solutions to curb the air pollution problem. Like in London the local administration spent over a million pounds, spraying cities with an adhesive that was supposed to glue pollutants to the roads. Similarly in the Netherlands, designers have created a giant air purifier which is called “the smog free tower”. These are effective but quite expensive ways to curb air pollution. There is a simpler solution that is often overlooked. That is, planting trees. Cities are centers of industry. The resulting pollution is adversely affecting the urban population. One major reason is particulate matter. Air borne particles of dust and smoke released when we burn ...

Every acre of land gives us a choice: we can either use it to grow 113 kg of meat, or over 11300 kg of plant based food. To produce just one pound of beef takes over 2000 gallons of water. People in many countries are starving due to our inefficiency. Instead of people using vegetables as food, they are instead fed to animals for the privileged people to eat meat. Even though it’s even more extreme for most of the people, it’s worth considering that a person who follows a vegan diet produces 50 percent less CO2 and uses 1/10 the amount of oil, 1/13 the amount of water and 1/18 the land compared to meat eating people. However, going completely vegan is not an easy choice but by becoming more educated and mindful about the cost to our environment, we need to cut down the amount of animal products in our daily consumption. Apart from environmental benefits, switching to a non-meat diet has numerous health benefits as well. Automobiles and power plants seem to be the biggest contributors t...

Cancer in humans is as old a disease as human beings on the earth. Some of the earliest traces of bone cancer were found in mummies of ancient Egypt and in ancient manuscripts which date back to 1600 B.C. However, most of the important research work on Cancer took place in 19th century. Until then, there were different beliefs about this deadly disease. Some physicists believed that acidic lymph fluid was the cause of cancer. Whereas some called it a poison that slowly spread in the body. Cancer treatment became possible only when medical scientists, physicists, discovered the reason behind Cancer. Medical science says, Cancer is a class of disease characterized by out-of-control cell growth. Normal cells divide in an orderly way. They die when they are worn out or damaged and new cells take place. The cancer cells behave abnormally. They keep on growing and crowd out normal cells. According to Dr. Ananya Mandal, Cancer cells originate from normal cells with damaged DNA. Every cell...
