This Pakistani man Becomes Internet Sensation Because Of This Photo

By

Earlier this week the internet found its latest viral star, and the hunt was on to identify the tea seller from Islamabad.

Photographer Jiah Ali was carrying her camera when she discovered the man working at a market in Islamabad.

Ali had no idea he would become an internet sensation when she placed the photo on Instagram earlier this week.



Arshad Khan was soon revealed as the man at the centre of all the fuss, and his life has been changed substantially.

The young man has light blue eyes, dark hair and even a little facial hair. He captivated social media users, first in Pakistan and then around the world.

In the past 24 hours, the hashtag #chaiwalla with two different spellings trended in Pakistan.

They called him “chaiwalla.” The name means someone who makes tea in Pakistan.

The search for Arshad rapidly spread across the globe…




Khan, reportedly one of 18 Pashtun siblings and a native of Mardan in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, is soaking it all in. “Some 40 to 50 girls have visited me since morning,” Khan told Samaa TV on Oct.18. Asked if he is open to acting in movies, Khan, without as much as batting an eyelid, said, “Sure I will.”


The answer seems to be yes. On Oct.18, Khan reportedly was signed up by online retailer Fitin to model for the Islamabad-based company.

'I Left My Husband For Him, But He Didn't Return The Favor'

By
Sometimes we screw up, but we have to find happiness and strength within to get back up again. If someone had walked up to me and told me a year ago I would be a 30-year-old single mom with two kids, I would have looked at them like they were batshit crazy. A year ago, I was THAT mom -- the one who seemed to have it all together, who had it all in some ways: two beautiful boys, a nice home, a good man and father to our kids. I cooked the meals and coordinated professional family photos, planned vacations, sent out Christmas cards, etc. I had a rigid schedule but made time to run and managed to be in decent physical shape. But something was missing. In my marriage, I felt alone. Why wasn't I happy? I met my ex when I was seventeen. He was four years older than me and I was smitten. He had a job, a truck, and a house. He had it all together. We got along great so dating him while I was in college seemed like the right thing to do. And of course, after college the next step w...

Nutcase Couple Hang From Cliff 2700ft Above Rio

By
While most people get a little bit worried about heights when climbing up a ladder, Leonardo Edson Pereira, 23, and his girlfriend Victoria Medeiros Nader, 18, are very different. In fact, after seeing images of the couple hanging off a 2,700 ft cliff in Rio, Brazil, it’s safe to say the couple pretty much break the mould when it comes to heights and being daredevils. Pereira took his girlfriend with him on his latest thrill seeking adventure, with Pedra de Gavea their conquest this time. The images really are breathtaking and depict just one of the many times Pereira has climbed the Pedra de Gavea. He claimed: "I love living on the edge! I know people think it’s dangerous and crazy but it makes me feel alive,’ Leonardo says. It is really high and I do just hang on using my arm strength. I have to trust myself not to fall." The literal translation of the rock’s name means ‘Rock of the Topsail’, and while the images certainly are something, given ...
