National Foods Empowering Women, Definitely Not A Failure!

.

Gone are the days, when women were supposed to spent their lives in the heat of kitchen just to show the love and care they have for their families. The 21^st century women have introduced a new concept of spending less time in kitchen while still showing their affection and carefulness for the loved ones.

Today’s modern women select those things that are not time consuming, for example, ready to wear, ready to cook, and most importantly, the hygienic ready to use recipe mixes. Many people, particularly, the older ones, still think that this kind of mentality to choose easy-to-go things, is actually a sign of laziness and failure.

However, smart women have a very valid answer to this accusation. They establish their point of view by saying that instead of killing precious time in front of stoves, one should take sahulat (facility) of easily available balanced spices for cooking. This is the best way to save time to complete other important chores. Moreover, such sahulat gives women a lot of spare time to spend with their children, husband and other family members. They can also have a “Me time” that has been stolen from the older lot due to the absence of such spicy and tasty sahulat.

Recently, we came across the new TVC of National Foods that superbly highlighted the same fact that kitchen and ability to balance the spices to present a well-cooked dish, is not a litmus test for a woman’s love for family. She should not remain confined to one corner of house just to produce tasty food. All women should Live and love outside the confinements of the kitchen when National Recipe Mixes gives them the “Sahulat” to cook delicious food in less time. This does not make them a failure!

With a history spanning over four decades, National Foods has always tried to do something extra ordinary to empower women. With their latest TVC, the brand has intelligently not only tried to break the stereotype but also introduced a new concept of “Not A Failure”. 

The tag #NotAFailure is a great initiative to tell everyone that if a woman cannot spare time for certain things for example making round chapatis, cooking aromatic curries, washing dishes or doing other household chores, it’s not a failure. Look at the lives of those women who have achieved great things in life, made proud their families, earned name in their respective fields. Those women may not be good cooks and experts of making round roti but have showed their passion and determination to attain their goals. They are definitely #NotAFailure but an inspiration for all.

Hence, women who choose to avail the convenience of National Foods recipe mixes - a perfect blend of traditional, spicy, tantalizing flavors, to make perfect meals for families and manage to take out sufficient time for loved ones, are Not A Failure.

So, ladies, it’s time to grab some of those enriched and flavorsome recipe mixes with a combination of exotic herbs, spices and seasonings, to show our talent and offer a tasteful experience of aromatic Pakistani cuisine to our families without wasting too much time in heat - after all we are #NotAFailure.

Review - Pujaran Is An Impressive Story Of Greediness

.

The star-studded cast and a very engaging story of the drama serial Pujaran caught our attention and compelled us to watch its each and every episode. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that up till now all episodes are so much appealing and likeable that anyone can develop interest in its unique tale.

Directed by Adnan Wai Qureshi, Pujaran is a story of a lower middle class girl, Madiha, and her greediness for wealth and status which disturbs lives of many individuals’. Played by Sarwat Gillani, Madiha who belongs to a poor family, wants to lead a luxurious life and in order to fulfill this goal, she is lying, conspiring, betraying and even cheating people, just to achieve her dark motives.

She is well aware of her beauty and using it to lure anyone. She is deceiving a middle class young man Shahid (Kamran Jelani) who mostly helps her with all kind of financial support. But as soon as he tries to propose her, Madiha crafts unusual lame excuses to stay away from this discussion. 

In reality, she is very much interested in her friend’s rich cousin Aabis (Zahid Ahmed) who wants to marry Madiha’s friend Haniya. The story becomes a little complex as Haniya (Alizey Rasool) formulates a proposal for Madiha to get married to Aabis’ big brother, Ramis (Aijaz Aslam).

Inam Shah and Nooran Makhdoom’s story of Pujaran is pretty impressive. The casting is also perfectly suitable as per the demand of the story. Sarwat Gillani is doing her role with absolute perfection. 

Zahid Ahmed and Aijaz Aslam as educated and loving brothers are also looking great in their roles. All the experienced artists are giving their best performances and that is the reason Pujaran is appreciated by viewers.

To this point, it is an enjoyable drama serial with unique story of a negative as well as positive character. If you want to watch the next episode, mark your calendar as it will be aired on every Wednesday at 8pm only on TV One.

It is a deep love story dealing with class system. The triangle love story is about wealthy landlord’s energetic daughter Komal who will fell in love with Dara, a not so rich but self-made man. However, the factor of class difference and social status will give rise to egoistic behaviour and this will leave educated Komal in a difficult and tense situation. 

Nauman Habib as the third main character, Bazil, will play his role to complete the triangular love story. His role is full of life yet it turns the story into a more complex one. 

The first episode showed very beautiful village locations and luxurious houses and their lifestyles in a big city. The script sounds very strong and convincing. The tittle song is also very attractive and melodious, it is composed by Waqar Ali and sung by singer Quratulain.
