The Current Insider
Friday, 1st January 2021
We need to celebrate today. The beginning of the year always signals one thing — hope. Hope that there will be something better ahead.  Islamabad and Karachi are celebrating today with heaps of sunshine, and Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta are cold and cloudy today. I would like the students on this list to celebrate because the Higher Education Commission (HEC) has introduced a new degree attestation portal in a bid to make the process easier for students and Fahad shows you how to use it, with some hacks to help speed up the process. To be grateful for what we have, we sometimes come across stories of heartbreak. I felt awful for former religious scholar Aamir Liaquat’s first wife, Bushra Iqbal, who says that Aamir divorced her over the phone because of his second wife. The Karachi police have revealed that they received almost 800, 000 bogus calls in 2020 and what was 2020 in Pakistan like for politics and sports? And lets not forget the blunders our celebrities made this year. Although it makes my head hurt, watching what they’ve done, you can’t stop watching it either. A Current exclusive Senator Faisal Javed Khan says that cricketer Muhammad Asif is falsely accusing him of interference in PCB affairs. Why is this Faisal story a cause to celebrate? Because as I write this, having founded The Current almost two years ago, I am grateful. I have cause to celebrate with a team that goes out of its way to get stories, come up with creative ideas and loves to hang out with each other. That is, as any working professional knows, an ideal workplace and I have it. I am grateful that despite being a new platform, we are growing really fast. Our most watched interview this year hit more than 600,000 views on YouTube alone. We worked with the Facebook Journalism Project and managed to work from home (which if you have done, you know is very difficult). We won a huge Google award, the first by a Pakistani digital journalism startup, giving us countless reasons to celebrate. For me, I think my work, hot chocolate and a good book might suffice. Here is one of my favourite bookgram’s list of the best books of 2020 or check out the list of the best upcoming artists in Pakistan.
This year we have big plans. Plans that have been supported and funded by Google, plans that are outrageous and we are determined to execute them. But we can’t do them without your support. We will need your help and we look forward to listening to your feedback and asking you what you think. We would love to meet up, be it online or in person and hope we can soon. Until then I hope you have an amazing year and most of all, thank you for being a part of us. Here’s to getting many more reasons to celebrate this year, together.


Current Baba’s Prediction 

Hoping for a better year after a great New Year’s Eve? Now it’s time to wake up and get back to work but don’t worry you have a weekend ahead. Don’t forget to wear a mask, 2020 ended but corona didn’t.
