0

Shehroze Kashif, questions local climbing scene, eyes world record.

Shehroze Kashif asserted that he did not get any backing despite making Pakistan proud internationally.

In a Sunday exclusive conversation with Geo News, Kashif declare, “I’m compell to confess that sportsmen have no respect in Pakistan. I’m terribly unhappy.”

“The Minister of Inter-Provincial Coordination [Ehsan-ur-Rehman Mazari] has already made ten commitments to support me, but not a single one has been kept to date.

“I’ve met almost everyone so far, even the President [Arif Alvi], but these meetings don’t matter to me anymore as no one wants to support mountaineering in Pakistan,” the author went on to say.

The youngest mountaineer wants to set a record for being the youngest person to climb all 14 peaks higher than 8,000 meters.

Mingma Gyabu “David” Sherpa, who reached the top of all 14 peaks by the age of 30 years and 166 days, is currently the youngest person to climb every mountain higher than 8,000 meters.

His final ascent was Shisha Pangma on 29 October 2019, and his first ascent was Everest on 23 May 2010.

Kashif became the youngest mountaineer in the world to climb all 10 peaks above 8,000 meters in August of last year when he ascended Mount Gasherbrum I (8,080m).

At the age of 17, Kashif conquered Mount Broad Peak (8,051m), earning the nickname “The Broad Boy,” and thus his quest began.

He was the youngest person to climb K2 (8,511m) when he conquered it at the age of 19.

Following a diagnosis of a torn L5-S1 disc, which serves as a shock absorber to safeguard the vertebrae during spine motions, Kashif also underwent spinal surgery last year.

Kashif concludes:

“I’m fully recovered now from surgery, and I’ll start climbing again in March of this year.”

He also holds the Guinness World Record for being the youngest climber to conquer both K2 and Everest (8,848m) in the same calendar year.

Windows 10 license sales end online Jan 31, 2023. Act for DIY builds.

Windows 10 continues to be installed on a lot more devices than Windows 11, despite Microsoft efforts to get customers to upgrade to its most recent operating system.

The following initiative from Redmond, Washington, USA, is significant: the company will stop selling Windows 10 licences on its website later this month.

Microsoft has stated that it will discontinue offering Windows 10 Home, Pro, and Workstation licences directly through the program’s official product pages.

Customers won’t be able to get OS systems from the Microsoft website after January 31, 2023, alleges the notice.

The message makes it clear that until October 14, Windows 10 will continue to get security fixes that protect computers against viruses, spyware, and other malware.

However, this only pertains to digital copies of Windows 10 that customers have directly purchased from Microsoft’s website.

There is still access to the Microsoft Media Creation Tool on Windows 10.

Despite receiving a lot of negative feedback when it originally launched, a Steam study indicates that Windows 11 is currently losing people to its predecessor.

The fact that it is currently install on more than 3 out of 10 participant machines shows that gamers are starting to prefer Windows 11 or, otherwise, that they simply loathe it less.

A lot of companies are preparing to update to Windows 11, according to TechSpot.

The Windows operating system is frequently update at the slowest rate in the commercial sector.

In contrast, many customers are adamantly resistant to leaving Windows 10, just as they were with Windows 7.

Hania Amir face criticism for ‘Mujhe Pyar Hua Tha’ role as unrealistic

Due to its incredible plot and the cast’s outstanding acting, the drama series Mujhe Pyar Hua Tha, starring Hania Aamir, Wahaj Ali, and Zaviyar Nauman, is soaring to the top of the ratings.

The love triangle between Areeb (Zaviyar), Maheer (Hania Amir), and Saad is the subject of the drama (Wahaj). It is produced by Bang Productions and directed by Badar Mehmood.

In this drama, Hania’s bridal ensemble is going viral, but for all the wrong reasons, as the social media brigade grilled the actress about how unsuitable it was for a middle-class girl to wear.

Hania found herself in hot water after a scene from the upcoming teaser showed her sobbing aloud while donning a scarlet wedding gown.

Netizens Disapprove Unrealistic Portrayal Of Hania Amir in MPHT

According to the drama’s premise, Hania is portrayed as a middle-class woman from a religiously devout family, although she is dressed in an amazing wedding gown with a cropped top. Above all, the dress is sheer and the top has no back.

The audience initially found it difficult to comprehend why a female who is portrayed as being so middle class would be wearing a Lehnga choli. It is extremely unlikely and uncommon in homes of the middle class.

Second, Hania’s choli was partially hooked in the sequence, something the director undoubtedly missed while filming. Meanwhile, it appears that the cameraman was also disoriented because he failed to catch the wardrobe malfunction that put the woman in such a terrible predicament.

Her bridal Jora has received varied responses from online users; some feel that it presents middle-class families in a negative light, while others claim that vulgarity rather than the middle class is the focus.

Additionally, many are speculating that her future mother-in-law may have designed the clothing for the serial.

Take a look at a few comments below.
