Abdullah Qureshi Drops Music Video for the Romantic New Single “Aaja”
Having made a name for himself with several singles, the YouTube famed artist has delivered another promising track that has been written and composed by the talented singer himself. “Aaja” is produced by Saad Sultan, and the video is directed by the talented Saad Hashmi, featuring Shahmeera Sohail and the musician himself.
Talking about the release of his song, the excited singer said, “Aaja is a song that I started writing almost two years ago, and I don’t know why but I couldn’t complete the lyrics to it back then, so I put it aside for a while. Although it has very simple lyrics now, but somehow it was very difficult for this specific melody to sound smooth with anything that I wrote back then. So I was waiting for the right words, and eventually, with the help of a few friends, Taimur Rehman and Ahmad Mehdi, I finally managed to jot down the words and put the song together.”
The song has been receiving great responses from the fans, as Abdullah Qureshi continues an exceptionally generous flow of tunes keeping his supporters on the edge of their seats for more music.
Abdullah Qureshi gained popularity when he started out playing for underground rock and metal bands in Islamabad, and eventually started his own YouTube channel. He has some hit singles to his name, including ‘Kali Santro,’ ‘Laapata,’ ‘Awaz Do,’ ‘Daastan,’ and more.

Fathers who have daughters tend to live prolonged, research says!
Apart from all the joys that girls bring into this world, turns out they can also add some precious years to their father’s life, says a new study. According to this study, dads with daughters tend to live longer than those who do not have any daughter.
Since it’s mostly mothers we talk about when it comes to childbirth, this research was conducted to find out how father’s health and body was affected when a kid is born. The study was conducted by Jagiellonian University, for which data from over 4,310 people was collected, which included 2,147 mothers and 2,163 fathers.
It was found that sons did not have any kind of effect on their fathers. However, it was discovered that the number of daughters was linked to paternal longevity.
The study further claimed that the more daughters they have, the longer they live. To be precise, 74 weeks more for each daughter born. This is great news for all the dads, but not for mothers.
This was because, according to another study published in the American Journal of Human Biology, both sons as well as daughters have a negative impact on a mother’s health and reduces her lifespan. Another study revealed that women who stay single for longer are happier.
A different study found that having a child regardless of the gender increases the lifespan of both the parents. The data for this study was collected for over 14 years and it was found that couple with kids live longer as compared to the ones who don’t have any kids.

Ryan’s toys famed boy Ryan Kaji Is The Richest YouTuber of 2019
Being deemed a celebrity typically means you worked in the industry as either an actor, musician, or pro athlete. However, social media has changed how the world consumes entertainment.
The various mediums, such as YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, and other apps have created a sub-culture of influencers who have risen up as some of today’s biggest stars.
One such ‘celeb’ who has broken all records is an eight-year-old Ryan Kaji who earned the US $ 26 million in 2019 on his YouTube channel, making him the highest-paid creator on the platform!
According to a list published Wednesday by Forbes magazine, Ryan Kaji is the highest-paid YouTuber.
Kaji, whose real name is Ryan Guan, was already the video platform’s highest earner in 2018, with US$22 million, according to Forbes.
His channel “Ryan’s World,” launched in 2015 by Ryan’s parents, is only three years old but already has 22.9 million subscribers.
Initially called “Ryan ToysReview,” the channel mostly consisted of “unboxing” videos – videos of the young star opening boxes of toys and playing with them.
Furthermore, several of the videos racked up more than one billion views, and the channel has received almost 35 billion views since its creation, according to data from the analytics website Social Blade.
Ryan’s business empire is certainly more complicated now, having grown from toothbrushes to a television show with the help of kids-entertainment company Pocket Watch.
So, it looks like we know what our kids should do! Or do you think we even need a degree to become a millionaire?
Hamzah Tariq Jamil Makes a Promising Debut with ‘Meray Dost Meray Yaar’
Every year, we see a lot of surprising performances by newcomers who eventually become our favorites. Pakistan’s first musical drama Meray Dost Meray Yaar is heading towards its conclusion. The seven-episode web series revolves around four friends and former bandmates Syra Shehroz (Zoya), Asim Azhar (Zain), Haroon Shahid (Sherry), and Hamzah Tariq Jamil (Mohib). It’s their bittersweet journey about friendship, tribulation, and reunion. With digital platforms, viewers have become clearer on what they want to watch. It gives them a big sigh of relief from the typical content.
The relatable genre and fresh approach made every episode a delight to watch. It proved to be a complete entertainment package. It’s filled with music, humor, color, energy, romance, and pep. As we all know, in Pakistan, pop music is a big deal for everybody. For people here, they rejoice and enjoy. (MDMY) was able to capture that very essence.
Analyzing the performances, the web series had superb performances by all the cast members; but it was the debutant Hamzah Tariq Jamil who stood out with his powerful act. Normally newcomers opt for projects that follow tried and tested formulas. But this wasn’t the case with Hamzah; his effortlessness was both engaging and euphoric and hardly gave us a sense of his debut act.
He played the struggling musician to perfection and managed to impress viewers with his acting chops and confidence, proving that he is here to stay. He owned every scene like a pro, and the level of comfort he showed in portraying different shades of his character with relative ease was commendable. His on-screen energy was infectious, and Hamza is surely a bright new addition to our industry; it would be interesting to see what the talented newcomer brings next to the table for us.

You Season Two Trailer: Joe Finds Love and Candace Finds Joe
Once all the gifts are unwrapped and your Christmas festivities come to an end, you can combat those postholiday blues with Netflix’s most compelling stalker. Happy holidays to all! The first trailer dropped today for season two of You, and the most pretentious millennial man on TV is back, going by the name Will (Penn Badgley) this time, and judging absolutely everyone around him in his Los Angels environs. In the previous teaser we got quick glimpses at his new “special friend” Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) along with a few other supporting characters.
Official poster here:
Joe’s ex-girlfriend Candace also relocated to sunny Los Angeles, determined to ruin his latest shot at “love.” L.A. seems like an awkward fit for “Will”, anyway, given the image obsession that runs through certain circles in the city, but we’re sure to find some things about the city that he enjoys. (Badgley previously told that “there are some things I’ve done with prosthetic bodies in this season that were kind of nauseating as I did them, I will say that,” about season two, and we already know he still loves murder.) Season two starts streaming on December 26, but we miss you already, Peach Salinger.

Why do we have to open airplane windows before landing?
If you’re a frequent flyer, you’ve probably heard a cabin crew member say this: “Before landing, please ensure that your window blinds are raised…” But why is it necessary? Aviation expert John Walton explains
Why are we asked to raise airplane window shades?
It’s not just to give you a better view out of the window on landing, although that’s a side benefit. As with many of the things we must do on flights, it’s for safety. Opening that blind is a good plan for a combination of reasons. First of all, it’ll give your eyes time to adjust to the light level outside. If it’s a day flight, you won’t emerge blinking from a darkened cabin into the bright sunshine, and if it’s at night you’ll be able to see better. (That’s also why the cabin lights are dimmed before landing at night time, in case you were wondering.
Does opening the shades help in an emergency?
Aircraft are designed and tested — and cabin crew are trained — to get everyone off the plane in under ninety seconds if needed. During training, the crew learn to assess the safety of what’s going on outside the plane, and they need to be able to see out — as do you. Passengers are extra eyes for the crew in case something looks amiss, so you shouldn’t ever feel silly about asking questions. Keeping your blind open means that, in the very rare event that emergency services need to attend the aircraft, they can see inside quickly and easily. And, of course, having more light coming into the cabin is a good idea if there’s any kind of smoke. In the event that you need to make a quick emergency exit from the plane, that makes it safer for you and everyone else around you.
