With Eid just round the corner, everyone across Pakistan is getting their Eid spirit on with new outfits, snacks and of course, getting their kurbaani ke jaanwar ready. In this hustle-bustle, we tend to forget that Eid is not just a celebration — it is also about giving. This Eid, make sure you share the love with the less fortunate by indulging in some charity. Remember, society works best when things, including money and resources flow naturally, so be generous with your Eidi to the needy. Set out small portions of meat to distribute to the poor and give away some of your old things to domestic help instead of throwing them away. It is a celebration for everyone so help make it better for someone this year.

See: Vampire Diaries, season 5
Ladies! We know it has been a long and painful summer without our weekly doses of the Salvatore brothers’ chiselled abs and sky blue eyes but fret no more! Everyone’s favourite vampire gang is back on air with the latest season of "The Vampire Diaries" and from the looks of it (read the looks of Damon and Stefan) it is going to be dynamite. Hence, we thought it would be a good time to refresh your memory. Spoiler alert: last season left us squirming at the edge of our seats as Elena shoved the ‘Cure’ into her evil doppelganger Katherine and the Original vampire Silas drowned sweet Stefan before revealing his villainous plans. This year takes us to the start of college for our beloved vampire gang and with countless plot twists and oodles of action and suspense, it will be epic. So make sure you take out an hour every Friday to pay good old Mystic Falls and its supernatural inhabitants a visit for the male eye candy it offers, if nothing else.
