Iranian genius Maryam Mirzakhani died of cancer this week. She was the first woman to win Fields Medal which is regarded as the highest honour for mathmaticians there is in the world.

Fields Medal is awarded every four years to two, three or four geniuses at the congress of International Mathematical Union (IMU).

Malala’s birthday!

Malal responded to Mahira by telling her that she enjoyed  Bin Roye , a Mahira-starrer film that was released in 2015.

Speaking of whom, somebody stunning dazzled Beirut International Awards Festival (BIAF) this week and bagged two awards the same night.
