Social media networks are changing our way of having relationships!


Social media networks are changing our way of having relationships



Communication technology is invading our life more than ever before. Mobile phones are never farther than a reach of our hands away. Emailssocial networks, the internet are more present than ever before. More than 60% of all internet users also communicate via social networks and over 85 % of all teenagers have accounts on social networks.
Psychologists have started to define terms like Facebookaddiction in their reports. Social media sites can be soaddicting that people, especially youngsters, do not want to spend time with anything else, they live their relationships in avirtual world.
People often choose to talk to each other via mobile phone, Skype or communicate via Facebook because they may be afraid of getting to know each other, face to faceHowever, by doing this, they are missing out on their partner’s facial expressions or the gestures that the other makes. Emotions are reduced to Likes orDislikes, smiley faces or other emoticons.
Psychology experts have also noticed that more and more marriages are breaking up. One of the reasons may be because Facebook makes it possible to communicate with old friends from high-school or former boy or girl friends that you have not had contact with in ages
Couples are not communicating with each other as they should in real life.  They sometimes even break up over Facebook and other social networks. Frequently, they do not argue about things in the usual way, they tend to carry out quarrels in publicAs a result, others comment about something that should be solved privately. They don’t share with each other, they share with everyone,
Facebook has defined privacy in a new way.  Many things that should be private have become public. Social media has changed the world. It has helped uprisings in Arab countries and overthrown governments.  Facebook, Twitter and others are omnipresent. They are the last things we worry about when we go to bed and the first thinks we check on when we get up.
In the future more social networks may pop up. We may be able to not only share photos with others but also our shopping lists or illnesses. More and more sites on the web are telling people to share. The more followers and friends we have the more excited we get.

With our brand, we have made a humble attempt to branch away from the lawn focus and instead pioneer a new focus on premium fabric promising exemplary quality in design and stitching.

This debut collection also features diverse silhouettes ranging from the more sleek and simplified cuts to the more voluminous.
Sadaf Fawad Khan, the design force behind the brand says: “For our debut collection, while most designs are based simply on their colour and print appeal, we have also designed some with a more semi-formal flavour adorned with traditional and modern embellishments in celebration of the upcoming Eid festivities. We hope this collection serves as a positive teaser for our brand which we will be launching nationwide, soon
