[#ShotStory] – A Fun Weekend at #ParchiFunCity





Gone are the days when the upcoming films were only being marketed through various media platforms. Today, we live in an era of entertainment where a film trailer or a billboard poster is not just enough to captivate the attention of the audience but a wide range of interactive and innovative publicity campaigns are essential to gain the mass interest.

Following the same trail of promotion and ballyhoo, the cast and crew of the movie, “Parchi” spent an entire evening at Fun City Pakistan at Giga Mall on 28th December, 2017 and 29th December 2017 at Fun City Centaurus Mall, Islamabad, where they greeted the fans, took photos, signed autographs, experienced the rides and enjoyed an hour of interaction with them. Director Azfar Jafferi, Producer Imran Kazmi along with the cast members Ali Rehman Khan, Hareem Farooq, Usman Mukhtar, Ahmed Ali and Shafqat Khan attended this special meet and greet being hosted by Fun City Pakistan in order to entertain the movie buffs in the Capital.


Here’s a quick glimpse at what happened at the #ParchiFunCity in amazing shots:

A Spell of Winning Spins and Winning Hearts at Fun City Pakistan




“Food to eat and games to play.
Tell me why, tell me why.
Serve it out and eat it up.
Have a try, have a try.”
― Brian Jacques
What happens when a mall becomes all bright and cheery with evenings featuring exciting games and fun activities? It turns into a Fun City, that’s what! Basking in the ambiance of colors and delight, Fun City Pakistan hosted the first-ever Wheel of Fortune game event at Giga Mall as a part of their Shopping Festival celebration.

Spanning over a period of 10 days, the evenings presented some super fun game challenges to the visitors whose response had been nothing short of overwhelming. Not only the kids participated in the activities with full energy and zeal and zest, the youngsters and the elderly equally took part in them with the same pinch of enthusiasm. No wonder it was such a delight watching people playing musical chairs or blowing up balloons or trying their luck while rolling out dices on the giant Ludo floor competing for the win!


                                             





Although, “Everyone’s a Winner” at Fun City Pakistan, the individuals competing for the Wheel of Fortune game had to conquer various “Minute to Win It” challenges in order to qualify for the winning spin. Challenges like Flip the Lid, Face The Cookie, Spoon and Ball Race and Tea Party not only kept the participants entertained but it also turned out to be an enthralling experience for the audience. 


                                             

The winning participants who qualified for the spin got their hands on exciting prizes and gift vouchers courtesy of various sponsoring brands including and not limited to Sana Safinaz, Oaks, Claire, Max & Max, Makeup City, Gloria Jeans, Bombay Chowpatti, Juices Island, Pepes Piri Piri, Burger King, China Grill. Now who wouldn’t want some free products on a shopping spree! 




Turning out to be an ideal family outing for everyone this winter, the place had something for everybody to have a good time at the event. The ones who didn’t fancy playing games took delight in the musical performances by celebrities such as Rabi Peerzada who rocked the stage.

                                      

Facilitating entertainment to all age groups, Fun City Pakistan has emerged as one of the leading pioneers of family entertainment in Pakistan. Their high adrenaline rides, the Mini Dance Party 360, the Top Flip, etc. make it an amusing recreational hub for all ages and tastes.

So if you are up for some fun along with shopping in the Capital, now you know where to ride!

Can’t Cook? #DontCook! – Feasting Made Easy with #Foodpanda’s Scrumptious Deals




‘Tis the season of festivities, family get-togethers, and parties with your favorite people and you know what that means? That entails a celebration of good times and cheer which can never be deemed complete without a gift of delicious food!

Be it a Christmas celebration with your best chums, a soiree during the winter semester break, a coffee klatch on a cozy night or a visit by your distant family relative during vacations, these are the times when you’d want good food being quickly made and readily available on the table! But then, there will be times when the laziness would reign and you wouldn’t want to cook!

For people like myself who often #DontCook food (unless they are being bribed by love), they eventually find themselves relying upon ordering food from an eatery while planning for a party. And that is how I discovered these amazing deals being available for ordering through the foodpanda app.
  
Celebrating the #BestOf2016 this year, foodpanda Pakistan has been offering up to 80% discount on more than 200 restaurants nationwide from Dec 23rd – Dec 25th, thus bringing one of the biggest-ever discounts of the year on our culinary favorites.  The entire list of discounts being offered on food outlets in Karachi can be found here.

With the amazing discounts available at hand, treating friends to a luncheon or a dinner just got better, easier and so affordable! Guess it’ll be a right thing to say that foodpanda Pakistan has featured deals for almost every budget.

Following are the few more reasons behind opting for ordering food through foodpanda app:


Variety is the spice of life, they say!



One could find a long list of fast-food outlets and restaurants being located in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad that were offering up to 80% discount on their food items. From the cheesy and saucy burgers and pizzas to delectable desserts, foodpanda Pakistan had deals for all giving you the reason to not to cook, sit back, relax and enjoy this weekend!

Hello! Is it You I am Looking for?

My way or Subway ;) - Ordered through Foodpanda

The foodpanda app helps you answer this question by letting you discover the best dining outlet that serves in your area. Just a few clicks here and there, and you are good to go ordering!

Rock Around the Clock!

Being an online customer, the very first thing that you would take into consideration would be their time of delivery. Speaking of my maiden experience at foodpanda Pakistan, I’d say that I had my order delivered at home within the time limit that had been indicated on the app. Yes! You can keep a track of your order’s delivery while using the foodpanda’s app. Just keep a check on the clickety clock!

Ordering food through the foodpanda app turned out to be a seamless experience even during the time when they must have been occupied with a long list of orders and clientele owing to the festive season. On time delivery coupled with courteous and effective customer services is worth an appreciation, making you want to order through foodpanda again.

Mobilink 3G Takes a Lead with #TheFasterTheBetter Services






Living in a fast-paced world where speed and convenience have become increasingly important in our various walks of life, the quintessential need for high-speed and super connectivity has also arisen. In today’s technology-driven world revolving around smartphones and tablets, we always feel the need to be inter-connected throughout the day and being separated from the device or being out of connection even for a minute is just a crippling thought! And this reminds me of my tour to Gaddani once where the cellular signals just went off all of a sudden except for the Mobilink network that worked, thus saving me from the brunt of an anticipated wrath.

It was since then that Mobilink became my most preferred choice amongst the cellular connections and the news revealing Mobilink as Pakistan’s best 3G network provider (as declared by PTA) did not come as a surprise. Because it was as true as a fact already!


Pakistan's Best 3G NetworkWe’re proud to announce that PTA has declared Mobilink to be Pakistan's Best 3G Network. Thank you for your constant support and trust throughout our journey of 20 years. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Posted by Mobilink on Monday, November 2, 2015



When it comes to an effective and reliable cellular connection, it’s not just the extensive reach or stable connectivity that counts. With cellular phones turning into more than just phones running on the Internet, a lot depends upon the speed of connectivity that truly defines one’s experience in the digital/mobile world. This is where Mobilink 3G network has taken a lead by bringing #TheFasterTheBetter services for its consumers and conquering #HarDilHarDin (being validated by the following tweets) as it continues its digital journey:








Introducing a variety of digital solutions, it looks like Mobilink shall be spearheading the Digital Revolution in Pakistan eventually giving rise to a digital society where everything would just be a few taps away! An interview being conducted by ProPakistani.pk with Deputy CEO of Mobilink, Mr. Aamir Ibrahim also reveals about the future prospects leading to a digital revolution in the country, which includes and is not limited to the development of store-front applications, payment gateways and other services necessary for the fulfillment of all sorts of digital needs.  

“The road from developing to developed treads on a digital highway,” says Aamir Ibrahim and it certainly holds true for the ever-evolving technological world experiencing digitalization or a digital shift. Digitalization is the need of the hour. And as Mobilink takes on the digital challenge, let me leave you with a video depicting Mobilink’s road to digitalization in Pakistan:


Mobilink to Lead Digital Revolution in Pakistan“After being in conventional telecom business for over 20 years in the country, we are now all geared up to reshape the digital revolution in Pakistan by capitalizing on our market position through innovating new solutions that we aim to offer to Pakistanis during the next 5 years.” Aamir Ibrahim, Deputy CEO and CCO - MobilinkRead the full story here: http://goo.gl/qEfmO0

FoodPanda iDonate - Click,Vote & Earn!




“Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant. There will always be someone out there who needs what you have to give.”


The holy month of Ramadan is not just a religious ritual but a comprehensive training module being provided with immense wisdom, capable of transforming an individual’s personal and social life. Amongst its various tenets of wisdom, one of the most important ones is the element of compassion and the art of giving. Bringing these two elements together this time around, FoodPanda, one of the leading global online food ordering platforms, has initiated a campaign titled, “FoodPanda iDonate.” With a purpose of giving back to the society and helping alleviate the prevailing hunger crisis, the philanthropic campaign invites individuals to interact on their social media pages and give their consent in donation of the staple food items.

While the good people at FoodPanda will be donating these items and there are no transactions being involved on your part, all it takes is just a single vote that would not only help you feed the starving lot but will let you earn rewards in the form of a good deed!

In order to participate in the FoodPanda iDonate campaign, all you need to do is pick a staple food item of your choice (options including Rice, Daal, Flour or Sugar) and write it under the comments section on either of their social media pages including Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. FoodPanda team will then be distributing these to Edhi Foundation and SaylaniWelfare Trust. It couldn’t have been easier than this, isn’t it?

Another way of contributing to the campaign is to spread a word about it in your social circle and ask your friends to vote, which can be done from anywhere and anytime – and this again won’t cost you anything.

FoodPanda iDonate has provided one of the quickest and the easiest ways of contributing to the greater good in the #monthofblessings proving once again that #foodpandacares for its people. Through this campaign, FoodPanda is not only helping and feeding the ones who are a little less fortunate but it is also helping us to do our little bits of good that can make a huge difference. Here’s how I have done it:



You can do it too!

“Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed?”
