keepin g up with tech n ology and new in venti ons is gettin g extremely difficu l t n owadays with one cool gadget bein g releas ed after an other . here ' s a ro und up of s ome of o ur favo urite gadgets that have left us s uper im pressed and have made it to o ur wis h lis t . here ' s wh y y o u s ho u ld have them :

Ollo clip

Segway Segways are a two wheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered electric super cool vehicle. You are able to ride it by commanding it to go backward or forward by simply shifting your weight backward or forward. Segways can reach a speed of 12.5 miles per hour (20.1 km/h). Getting from one place to another could not have been more fun- can't wait till they become available locally!!

Who has the time to carry around a professional camera all the time these days?

But we can turn our very own iPhone cameras into one! The Ollo clip is a quick connect lens solution for iPhones which includes fisheye, wide angle and macro lenses all in one! If you have a passion for photography then this is gadget for you!

Go Pro Undoubtedly, the Go Pro camera is the worlds most versatile camera. There is so much you can do with it; you can wear it, mount it or attach it to almost anything! Holiday vibes will completely change for the better with a Go Pro in your backpack. It is the best way to capture your craziest adventures in their truest form.

Apple Watch Apple Watch is unlike any device we’ve ever seen. It is just as easy and intuitive as the iPhone or a Mac. You can wake the display by simply raising your wrist and will be ready to start your day! With a fluid and responsive navigation, the Apple watch is one easy to use super cool gadget. And the best part is how good it looks when worn!

Jawbone Fitness trackers never looked so good. On the outside the Jawbone wristband is the thinnest, sleekest, most style-savvy tracker out there.

On the inside, however, it generates fitness insights and activity plans that make reaching your goals that much easier. The battery life lasts an entire week so there is no hassle of charging all the time and with the help of just one app on your smart phone you are able to keep a close track of everything important in your life.

Drone DJI Phantom

Drones are all the buzz right now. If you don't have one you're definitely thinking about it or eyeing the one your friend has.

Not only is the DJI Phantom drone slick and attractive it's extremely stable and very easy to fly. It gives two different flight mode options as well as an Auto Go Home feature. The best part is that you can mount your go pro camera on it and spy on your neighbours... (Just kidding!)

Portable charger A portable charger is THE MOST essential gadget for those of us who are constantly on the go and need to be on our phones for work There is a wide variety of portable chargers and "juice/fuel boxes" available to keep not only our phones charged, but also laptops, tablets and other essential devices. This is definitely the best investment.

Oculus rift

The Rift is a virtual reality head mounted display. It has a resolution of 1080x1200 per eye, a 90 HZ refresh rate, and a wide field of view. It has integrated headphones which provide spatialised audio. The Rift has full six degree of freedom rotational and positional tracking. The positional tracking is performed by a separate device (included), which normally sits on the user's desk. This system allows for using the Rift while sitting, standing, or walking around the same room. Cannot wait to try this!

Brompton Bicycle These super cool Brompton folding bicycles have become very popular due to their compact size when stored. With that said, we miss the days when people actually cycled for recreation around town. We hope to spot these compact and practical Brompton Bicycles around town.

ABOUT ME:

anam zakaria CV

Hometown: Lahore, Pakistan College: McGill University

Three artists on your playlist: Coldplay Radiohead Pink Floyd

Fun fact: I'm probably one of the few Lahoris who is a vegetarian!

When did you first realise you wanted to be a writer?

It was my childhood dream to be a writer. In fact, I wrote my first book when I was 9 years old but I didn't have the courage to show it to anyone. However, I had always thought I would write novels as I enjoyed reading fiction far more. Publishing a non-fiction book was nerve-wrecking and completely unanticipated!

Your book explores a new narrative on the partition of 1947, can you explain this narrative and tell me what led you to it?

I wouldn't say the book explores a new narrative because the narratives I have collected have very much been part of our society since Partition itself. However, what I found in my work was that these narratives were often missing from the mainstream discourse and that is something I wanted to change. My goal was to bring these already existing narratives to 20

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2015

the forefront in order to provide our younger generations with a holistic understanding of history, as experienced first-hand by their grandparents and great grandparents.

I have attempted to record stories of Pakistanis (and a few Indians) who belong to divided families, who left homes and friends on the 'other' side, who remember the violence of Partition but also the humanity that prevailed.

For me, these narratives are as valid as the other ones and there is no reason for why they shouldn't be shared like the others are.

How important do you think it is for children these days to learn a more holistic kind of history?

It is essential to understand our history in a holistic manner. The way in which our history is filtered and/or presented will shape how children understand the past and view the future. Teaching history in a holistic manner will create a far more informed, balanced and hopefully tolerant future generation.

Tell us about your process when it came to writing this book The writing process was perhaps the easiest part about publishing this book. The stories I was recording were so rich and powerful that they flowed together very naturally. I was also very fortunate to land a publishing deal at the very start. I had written just one or two chapters back in 2012 when I was introduced to Kanishka Gupta at Writer's Side literacy agency in India. He signed me on as his client within 2 hours of me e-mailing him and I had my first publishing offer within 4 days. Editing the book and deciding which parts to leave out was perhaps the most difficult job. The editing process took longer than writing the book itself and made me realise just how valuable an editor is to a book. I was fortunate to work with a fantastic editor at HarperCollins, Amit Agarwal, who helped give the book shape and direction.

Considering the sensitivity of the subject & this being your first book, what challenges did you face?

Since the information I was collecting was many times even very new for me, there was a lot of learning, unlearning and relearning taking place as I researched and wrote this book. I was incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by very supportive and encouraging friends, family

and interviewees, many of whom answered my endless questions very patiently.

How did you choose these stories?

When I set out to write the book, I knew I wanted to record stories of people from different generations in order to understand how the perception of Partition and the 'other' has changed over time. That was one criterion for selection of stories. In the book, readers will find narratives of Partition survivors and their children but also those of the younger generations, growing up in Pakistan today. I also set out to identify people who had been able to go back to visit their homes across the border, or held the desire to do so. These were stories one did not often find in history books and I was interested in knowing what the experiences of these people had been like.

And lastly, of course, all of the stories documented were incredibly moving. They left me with a lasting impact and I wanted my readers to have a chance to hear them too.

How did you feel when you held the first published copy in your hands?

It was an incredibly surreal experience!

Who are some of your literary inspirations?

There are many but to name a few: Urvashi Butalia, Khushwant Singh, Yoginder Sikand, Muhammad Hanif and Basharat Peer.

Will you be having book reading sessions any time soon?

Two upcoming reading sessions are being held at Liberty Books (5th September) and Faiz Ghar (11th September) in Lahore.

What are you working on now?

Is there another book in the pipeline?

I have just started a new research project, which I hope to convert into a book.

Anusha Bawany is hands down the best company! She cracks us up with her sarcastic comments and we can't stop adoring her cute voice and accent.

Dawood Akbar is one of the most well dressed boys around town.

His charming personality and amazing sense of humour make him very popular with the ladies. To top it all, he is an aspiring architect and a fabulous artist!

We were thrilled and honoured that photographer Brandon Stanton of "Humans of New York" was in Pakistan recently.

He shared some seriously insightful images and stories, capturing the true essence of Pakistan and highlighting the hopes, fears, and aspirations or ordinary Pakistanis.

In our newest feature, we take a walk down memory lane to see how our favourite celebrities and fashionistas style has evolved over the years!

2011 This simple, elegantly draped ensemble really worked for Anoushey.

2012 Definitely not one of our favourite looks, the hair, outfit, and loud accsesories don't do her justice.

2013 Anoushey rocked this sleek Shehla Chatoor jumpsuit, paired with a metallic waist belt.

The million dollar smile says it all.

Anoushey looked great in this printed kaftan!

The peek-aboo shoulders, fitted leggings and wedges worked well together.

Tell us about the sights no one should miss out on?

Banana beach, water sports on Patoonk beach, the huge shopping malls, wild adventure park, wack boating, paintballing, Bangla Street and a cruise. Make sure you have a beachside dinner! Phuket is definitely an amazing vacation destination.

Finally, any tips I would suggest newly-married couples to book any nice beach resort in Phuket as it is an extremely exotic destination for their honeymoon. The sunsets are extremely beautiful, the food is great and there is a lot to do and see. Please keep umbrellas with you at all times - the weather is really unpredictable.

travel diaries

Suggest places for a perfect night out Well I am not a night person really but I ended up going clubbing at The Tiger Club and had an amazing time. Another night attraction is boxing and wrestling in the arenas. These arenas were extremely crowded, and people were so involved in the game - it was extremely thrilling for us.

What can you do over there to relax and unwind Massages are one of the most prominent relaxation attraction for tourists. They have amazing spas! The fish massage is really interesting. My advice to you would be to get a massage on the beach during the day.

Sea Valley, Noodle House, Sea Deli and Padponk are at the top of my list! The seafood is absolutely divine.

It's okay to feel emotional on Monday.

Your family is a source of a lot of stress, and outbursts are to be expected. Get what you're feeling off your chest, no matter how tough it is to say. Then you'll be able to better enjoy the rest of your week. Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be particularly great -- charged with adventure and the possibility of romance -- and even though the weekend will be mostly quiet, something good is going to happen to you on Sunday. Something you've been hoping for is going to finally fall in your lap.

Monday, just tell them how you feel. No matter how flustered you feel inside, you have this amazing ability to articulate in a confident and persuasive way what's going on in your head. You have big plans for the future. Unfortunately, a power struggle with someone Tuesday or Wednesday is going to make getting something done a lot more difficult than it needs to be -- but, yet again, your clear-headedness and charm are going to get you through it. This weekend, expect some real romance. It's going to make everything in your life suddenly seem more alive and beautiful.

On Monday you realize you have less cash in your pocket than you thought.

That's a slightly distressing thought. It isn't, however, the end of the world. Spend a little less money than you usually do this week and you'll be just fine. Tuesday, you're going to get into a great conversation with some friends, and it's going to remind you how fun a lively debate can be. Then, toward the end of the week, you're going to have a conversation with a family member that isn't going to be nearly as much fun.

Oh, well. In any case, the weekend and especially Sunday are sure to be a blast.

This week is all about new beginnings.

This is your chance to break some old habits -- and, while you're at it, develop some new ones. Tuesday and Wednesday, maybe it's time for some new clothes after all. It's amazing how transformative a new wardrobe feels.

(And the more confident you are in your clothes, the more confident you will be in general, which is always a plus.) By the end of the week, you get the feeling that maybe it's about time to reconnect with some old, great pals you've lost touch with. You might spend all day Saturday and Sunday on the phone.

More and more, you're developing an intuition about the other people in your life -- how they feel about things, what they're thinking, what they need.

Basically, you're the best friend a person could ask for, especially on Monday. By midweek, you're going to start to realize how big a role you play in the lives of the people you love. You are a celebrity in any social situation, which means you have a lot more power than you recognize, especially on Friday. The great thing is, if you ever need anything, there are tons of people who have your back.

That goes double over the weekend.

Monday, you are a master organizer.

When someone needs to arrange a gettogether, you are the person they call. So it only makes sense that as the family is planning a mini-reunion of sorts, you're involved in making it happen. The trouble is, you already have a million other things going on in your life. So the trick by midweek and through the weekend is going to be to find a way to please everyone without losing your mind.

Remember, if it's not possible to please everyone, that's okay. You are only one person. You only have so many hands.

Whatever you can do will be appreciated.

You had a good routine going there for a while, but on Monday something totally unexpected is going to change everything. Don't get too upset if the plan you had in mind turns out not to need a few revisions. That's life. You are smart and charming enough to find a way around any obstacle, especially by midweek. And you have a lot of friends who are more than happy to pitch in. On Friday and Saturday, you can remind yourself how lucky and loved you are. Oh, and Sunday?

It will be the best day you've had in a while.

Monday, you'll have an amazing stroke of good luck, and everything will be going your way. It's weird how quickly the tide can change. Tuesday and Wednesday, a friend is going to tell you a secret that blows your mind and makes you view someone you know in a whole new way. Toward the end of the week, you're going to find yourself doing something completely out of character -- no doubt led along by a group of your friends. As long as you don't do anything irresponsible, it's okay to take risks and be a little wild, especially over the weekend.

pisces

Monday is going to be an emotional roller coaster. You have a couple of beefs with a good friend -- well, it's someone you always considered a good friend, but now you're not so sure -- and coming to a resolution you feel happy about may take a little time. Friendships, like all relationships, sometimes require compromise, especially by the middle of the week. By Friday, you may realize that there are some things you shouldn't have to compromise on. And, of course, you have other friends. But this is in no way a lost cause. Over the weekend, be honest and communicate exactly how you feel and things will turn out for the best.

You get exactly what you need on Monday: a little romance to shake things up. Sure, it was no surprise, but it's such a satisfying, gratifying thing to have nonetheless. It's lovely to have someone who appreciates you in your life. That's immensely flattering, and on Wednesday, it puts everything else in perspective. When you have someone to think about all day long, work troubles seem a lot less important. On Friday, you may start to get a little into 'what if?' mode. Try and leave that thought pattern behind over the weekend. Why overanalyze the state of things when you can just enjoy them?

22December/20January

It's weird: You just don't feel like doing the usual on Monday. There's something going on deep in your subconscious, and you can feel it. What are you dreaming about lately? What is it you really want? As you set off on this path of self-exploration, there's a chance you're going to feel the urge to travel by midweek -- to do some actual real-world exploring. This isn't a bad idea to execute over the weekend. It will give you a little perspective on your career, your friends and your life. And you might meet someone new along the way.

There are a couple of things on your plate on Monday. Before you start any new projects, you should finish the old ones.

You can only do so many things at once.

Plus, the feeling of accomplishment will give you the energy to focus on new goals.

Toward the middle of the week, people are going to notice your recent successes. At week's end, when someone showers you with compliments, you may feel shy and a little embarrassed, but you're also going to be beaming with pride. This weekend, call a friend you haven't talked to in a while.

They have some exciting news, too.
