Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner who received the award in 2014 for her “fight for the right of every child to receive an education". She shared the prize with Indian child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi.

The craze around Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has seen everything from people heading to the theatres in pink outfits to artists imagining celebs in the Barbie world using artificial intelligence. The film was released in most countries on July 21 and stars actors Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

In the UAE, Barbie is yet to release, but a few days ago a CGI video of a giant Barbie doll next to the iconic Burj Khalifa in Dubai had surfaced on the internet.

Restaurants and eateries too have started offering Barbie-themed dishes in the UAE like pink dosa, Barbie-themed afternoon tea, and pink poached eggs, among others.
