Hello, *|MERGE1|*. It’s July 12, Monday.
Eid is just 10 days away, and amid the sharp increase in Coivd-19 cases, the government has said that only vaccinated staff and vendors will be allowed to operate in cattle markets. Though it is a very good decision, I’m not sure how the authorities will be able to implement this.
There are two major updates from the world of sports. Novak Djokovic defeated Matteo Berrettini in the Wimbledon final to win a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title. Italy has won the Euro 2020 after a nerve-wracking match! Yes, it didn’t go home :p
And listen Take your umbrellas out because it is expected to rain in major cities of Pakistan, except Quetta, where it will be sunny.

Bollywood actor Dilip Kumar, who died last week, was many things to many people. He was a Bollywood legend, a screen hero, a public figure who spoke out for minority communities, a good and thoughtful human being, a great thespian. But while many fans will look at the entirety of his work during a career spanning over a half-century, my most cherished memories of it are from his early films – particularly Andaz.
Read what else Umber Khairi has to say about the late Dilip Kumar.

ON THIS DAY
WORLD MALALA DAY
|
|
|
Today holds special significance for Malala Yousafzai. It’s not only her birthday, but it’s also on this date in 2013 that she spoke at the UN to call for worldwide access to education. Since that day, the UN has dubbed July 12th as Malala Day. During her UN address, she stated, “Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy, and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights.”
