Everything Wears Out But: Urban Sole

Mar 5

Posted by Shanipani in Pakistan, Videos | 2 Comments

Here’s a little ad me and my friends over at LSE made about Urban Sole. You know… those guys that make really nice shoes? Those guys, EXACTLY. Mind the spelling mistake at the end. This video is a funny ad which basically shows how durable an urban sole shoe is.

It’s a project we were given earlier. This video is a funny ad which basically shows how durable an urban sole shoe is. We came up with this idea a day before our presentation but it was real fun how we shot the video and then edited within strict time constraints. This is no Clint Eastwood flick, so take it for what it is and not for what it isn’t.

Waaatch!

Of Child-Birth And Pre-Adolescents

Feb 26

Posted by Waisybabu in Experiences and Views, Movies | 8 Comments

Yesterday, a friend of Omer’s came over to our place. Omer’s my little brother by the way. And let’s just call his friend: Bilal. The two did their usual stuff. Bilal stayed over for the night… doing what they call a ‘sleep over’.

The two decided to watch 3 Idiots, the movie that is currently sweeping the entire subcontinent.

Now, 3 Idiots is a great; nay, a phenomenal movie! It has a message for the youth and it delivers the message really well. And it’s a family movie too! Or at least, it would’ve been had it not been for that god-awful childbirth scene. You knowwww, the scene that raises many a pre-adolescent eye-brows? Yeah, that one!

And here’s the thing: I caught Omer and Bilal just when the child-birth scene was kicking in. ZING!

Apple iPad: The Acha, The Bura and The Badsoorat [SUPER-UPDATED]

Jan 28

Posted by Waisybabu in Technology | 12 Comments

artsyHANDS is back after a three day downtime and we’ve got news for ya, Apple’s latest creation: The iPad!

The most important things first: it has a ~10″ screen, it operates like the iPhone (software-wise), starts at the utterly amazing (though eventually disappointing) 499$ and is quite fun to use, but has its fairshare of shortcomings.

We won’t be informing you of the specs and details. You can check out Redmond Pie and iThinkDiff for that! This post will enlist what’s good, bad and ugly about the iPad.

More ahead on the most exciting tech-story of the year!

Slurp! Differentiating your bubblegum product from the ka-jillions of different chewing gums available in the market is a tough task. Wrigley’s, Extra, Boop!, BubblePop, Ding Dong, Tiger are just some of the many MANY types of gum available today in local stores.

They’ve tried everything: slap-on tattoos, lucky draw-like schemes, exotic car stickers, hot babe stickers etc have all been done to death. So what could be done now to secern a gum product?

Dan Pak of Pakistan came up with a new idea. Read about it, after the jump!
