We always come up with lists of things we fancy but this week we are mixing it up to reflect some of the people and things that have disappointed us. 

Zara 

Zara has disappointed us with its distasteful campaign mocking death and genocide.  

Amal Clooney

Given that Amal Clooney chaired a committee to look into war crimes in Gaza while practicing human rights law, it is disgraceful for her to remain silent about aggression against Palestine. 

Malala Yousafzai

Mala is another silent individual who we thought stood for something. She has disappointed us for remaining “neutral” during this time.

The Archies

The Archies proves that nepotism is rife in Bollywood. Apparently, ace director, Zoya Akhtar, gave these star kids one full year of acting training on top of the diplomas they have from their respective acting schools. Even then this movie fails and we dare you to watch more than 30 minutes of it without snoozing.

United States

The United States has vetoed a United Nations Security Council demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza. What a let down by its own rules!

Harvard University

Harvard has let us down by showing intolerance towards students and faculty that protested against Israel. 

Our hero: 

Journalists and people all over the world have recognized Motaz Azaiza for taking a risk with his life while yet adhering to all journalism standards. He truly is our hero. 

Netflix:

We recently viewed “Sukhee” on Netflix and it was fantastic.

Food:

Paperazzi enjoyed an exclusive invitation to the grand opening of Kyoto-The Taste of Asia. We were offered a broad selection of delicacies, and our favorites were the Melting Choc Sphere and the 13 Spices Peking Roast Duck.

Abbas Carpets opened a flagship store in Karachi. We adore the store because it perfectly captures the essence of excellent craftsmanship and opulent living.
