Haven’t suddenly all other leagues stopped fantasizing Pakistanis as much as they did earlier? Don’t they compare every other league with the best possible league to them? Yes, you guessed it right. I am talking about Pakistan Super League. This league is no mere sport. It is our expression of excitement, love, support, patriotism, optimism, prayers, curiosity and hope which makes it as beautiful as it is. Every year, Pakistanis are eagerly looking forward to a bigger and better edition. From the first match to the last, Pakistanis enjoy a rush of emotions. Subsidiary businesses get their fair share of profits. However, it is not the money-making and competitive rivalry only. It is a celebration of good cricket, entertainment, international relations, media activity and harmony that make PSL a success.

• Expert opinions and speculations

We all are just in love with how we are able to hear from legendary cricketers and commentators. Their words of wisdom help the players. But, each citizen finally becomes a critique and voices their opinion, regardless of how adverse the evidences maybe.

• Memes

Due to PSL fever, creative hashtags make PSL trend on Twitter and other social media like a King. Hilarious and sarcastic memes are all over the place. Checking social media newsfeeds is as interesting as watching the match itself.

• Screenings

My favourite part of PSL are the gatherings that it encourages in the form of live screenings. Long lost friends and distant relatives, who otherwise never get time to meet up, get an excuse to ditch their tight routine and hoot at every ball. Cricket lovers spend quality time around heaps of snacks.

• Team supporters

Supporters of different teams/players show support by wearing and using products with their favourite team’s logo. Such customised caps, mugs, shirts, hoodies, bags, badges, keychains, trousers, mobile covers are available at online stores like The Elegance. While we hope to have a more festive edition, more in-home matches and more patriotic songs, do not forget to grab customised goodies to support your favourite team from The Elegance. We have kit and merchandise for all teams such as Karachi Kings, Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi, Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars.    

The prevailing series of heatwaves in Pakistan has come just in time with Ramadan Kareem. This means that now Pakistanis have to care about themselves to survive through fasting, in these blazing sunrays. Here are a few preventative and curative measures that you can take:

• Go easy on the dinner table

Yes, I understand that you have starved yourself all day and want to eat loads at the sunset but please hold your horses. I am not asking you to consume less. I am asking you to consume in smaller portions and at regular intervals. Eating too much in a single meal will disturb your metabolism and leave no space for water consumption.

• Strike the right balance.

What do you eat matters as how much do you eat. The quality of your diet is as important as the quality of your diet. By healthy diet, I mean a balanced diet. Make sure you don’t dump your stomach with one particular eatable. Have a balanced diet to provide your body with all sorts of nutrition, fibre and vitamins necessary to regulate normal body temperature. Yogurt and cold fruit juices may help.

• Lock yourself indoors.

The immediate measure to avoid heatstroke is to avoid going out in the sun. Reschedule all your daytime activities to the evening. Try to avoid outdoor activities and exposure to sun. Save your skin from tan and enjoy the air conditioned breezes.

• Water yourself.

The most obvious step is to stay hydrated. Remind yourself to drink water or other fluids from time to time. Dehydration is what lets heat affect you, internally. Keep a water bottle along on the go. In case you are fasting, try to consume water over and above the minimum requirement, while you can.

Brothers are meant to be life long support systems. It is quite common to have a few fist fights and get along at the end of the day. But, my bond with my brother, Arsal, was no fairytale. We literally missed no chance of teasing each other! Helping with homework The only time mom asked Arsal to help me with my homework was years ago. That first time turned into last time because he deliberately got all my sums wrong. While mom was worried with the red marks on my notebook, he just laughed around! Getting me my favorite meal How can I forget the day when not-so-dear Arsal made me drink a whole bottle of medicinal syrup, claiming it was healthy for me. I was too young to realize that I was being tricked. It was only his mischievous smile, every time I rushed to the loo, that made me realize what had gone wrong. Spending quality time Dad was surprised at Arsal’s request to take me to a restaurant. I went along with him to “spend quality time”. It was only at the end of the meal that dad’s suspicion proved to be right. Munching on his favorite burger, Arsal said, “I know you have saved up a bit. Pay for our meal. I really couldn’t miss these limited-edition burgers”. Planning my birthday Bash After all this, what kept me and Arsal together throughout our childhood and adulthood is his only impressive quality. No matter how annoying he was to me throughout the year, he really knew the art of winning my heart on my birthday. He would plan it way in advance and made me feel so special. His handmade cards and personalized gifts won my heart, year after year. If you have a similar love-hate relationship with your brother, remember to strengthen  your bond through the customized gifts provided by The Elegance. ORDER NOW gifts for your love ones.    

Father’s Day is round the corner. Globally, this day is celebrated to recognise the selfless efforts that these heroes-without-capes make to nurture us.

What should I do to celebrate the day?

Trust me, it is simpler than you thought it is. You need not climb Mountain Everest to win his heart. That tender behind those rough and tough looks needs nothing more than small but pure gestures. Simply, spending quality time with him, pouring in a few extra kisses and hugs and listening to insightful experiences is good enough. However, a customised gift from The Elegance can act as the cherry on the top.

What is their status?

Since, you opened your eyes, one man has been busy making sure that everything falls in place, in time. He has removed those hurdles from your life that you have no idea of. He has facilitated your life morally and financially. He has done God- knows-what to make end meet. His status is exalted over all other relations because he deserves that!

What are his role expectations and perceptions?

While, his motto of life is to smoothen your life till his last breath and beyond we also consider him a supernatural god-like entity who can save the day. Meanwhile, you do the basic math to measure his needed contribution, fathers have intuitional and gut feeling towards all unpleasable turns of life. So, expecting a lot from him and not realising his Meta physical capabilities is all so common. Thus, The Elegance suggest you to mark this on day on your calendars, abandon all your scheduled even and appointments and dedicate all your time to your super-dad. On easy way to express your love is to present a personalised gift. We provide customised wallets, watches, notebooks, mobile cover, T-shirts, footwear and anything else that your father loves. Happy father’s day!. ORDER NOW! to celebrate father's day.
