Dear textile mill owners,
Thank you for making our country, Pakistan, retail heaven for women every summer. It’s when desi girls start behaving like firangis would if Chanel were to go on clearance sale. And keeping in mind our usually sour and crabby disposition, this madness is terribly refreshing. It’s almost like we have a life between Raymond Davis and Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
With Kareena last year and Deepika now, Firdous is making inroads to popularity via Bollywood. And the trend is catchy as Crescent boasts a stunning Sushmita Sen in their new campaign!
It is uplifting to see beautiful women impose themselves on us mortals from heavenly billboards, a far cry from the unsightly politicians and religious figures we usually have to bear. You, dearest TGs, have recreated Christmas time in Pakistan’s retail world and what you have achieved is nothing short of a miracle.
We cannot help but gaze up in awe at the shapes and sizes of brands that have already started waving their fancy flags at us.
Asim Jofa lead the race (as far as timing is concerned, though their prints left a lot to be desired) and commissioned fashion model Iman Ali to market their brand. We had just started admiring her star value as a lawn ambassador when Firdous started marketing their annual Carnival, this time with a star appearance by Deepika Padukone. To be fair, their campaign was divided between Deepika and morning show host, Shaista Wahidi and I’d have to say that while Wahidi has never looked this good, one has seen Padukone look more significant on a billboard.
Asim Jofa (Jofa is an acronym for ‘Jewelry OF Asim, get it?) with celebrity VJ Anoushey Ashraf
Anyway, the skyline has started looking better now that the battle of the billboards has begun. Everyone from Yahsir Waheed, Deepak Perwani, Bonanza, Gul Ahmad, Nishat, Vaneeza, Lala, Firdous and many others are vying for the hot spot. Time tested TGs definitely have more moolah, something you’ll understand better if you compare the size of the Firdous billboard with the Deepak billboard (at Two Talwar). The game may not be equal, with some designers even taking a piggyback ride on the TG’s back, but let us draw out some rules before this game gets out of control.
Understand the difference between fashion and fabric
No matter what you do and how many thousands of yards of fabric you sell, you will not/never acquire designer status (unless you become one) because fabric can never be fashion. The only way fabric passes as fashion is as six yards of a sari and that too needs a blouse to be styled. One looks forward to the day you up the game by bring around a ready to wear revolution but till then, you need to know the difference.
I had the misfortune of running into two very nouveau riche daughters of a TG at an exhibition last year. They were wearing extravagantly hideously tailored Sonya Battla prints on the second day of her exhibition, and in search of a story (not knowing who they were) I asked them who their tailor was considering he had done an unfathomably quick job.
“Sonya Battla is our tailor,†they pompously replied. Now I’ve known Sonya for a decade and I know that she would never be able to design anything as atrocious as what I saw. Their pomposity in saying so (lying!) was offensive. Sonya Battla is a fashion designer – and one of the best this country has – not a tailor. And most textile giants are businessmen not connoisseurs of good taste, let’s be very clear on that. Again, know the difference.
Red carpets are for celebrity royalty not the rela of relatives!
Can we please stop celebrating munna’s birthday with a red carpet launch! This is an extremely annoying trend, especially when these abused red carpets feature no one more exciting that the TG’s extended family. Mian, biwiaan, bachay and woh…the woh being unknown and unfashionable celebrity wannabes!
The red carpet is sacred and should be kept exclusive to celebrities, no matter which walk of life they come from. I have to say that not even all fashion designers are red carpet material, lesser so are you.
We know that channels are all too accessible and you find it hard to resist the lure of the red carpet/spotlight especially since no one gave you the time of the day despite your bank balance outnumbering that of any fashion designer. But resist it. Please.
You are the corporate counterpart of fashion and corporate types are rarely cut for stardom. Especially not in Pakistan though Greek shipping tycoons would be more than appreciated. But unless you look like that can you please lose the obsession you have with the social pages?
Do not mislead women with fancy designing and add-ons
Zooming into what you sell, please stop misleading your customers into thinking they are buying what you are showing them. Firstly, the lawn joras you retail rarely come with all the kaam that is featured in shoots (take the embellished neckline Iman is wearing in an Asim Jofa ad for example). And secondly, the pre-packaged fabric is rarely enough to tailor the extravagantly flared designs you boast.
One appreciates the way Yahsir Waheed promotes his brand; his marketing always emphasizes lawn prints and the shoots he puts out in magazines use only the fabric and add-ons that are sold with the ensembles. Add-ons, by the way, are the laces, buttons, frills, embellished sashes etc that designers use to spruce up plain voile.
I would describe what most of you do as cheating. Refrain.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch (read jora)
And while we’re on the topic of cheating, please understand that sending full (wearable) suits ie joras to journalists is equivalent to bribe. In fact sending anything that is usable by the journalist is equivalent to an attempt of winning over his/her favour. And don’t start feeling guilty if you’ve already sent out a nicely packaged parcel…you won’t be the first. Designers have been sending lawn joras to journalists for donkey’s years (Rizwan Beyg, Sana Safinaz, Asim Jofa, Vaneezah Ahmad have all been generous) and even journalists who consider themselves morally upright – like yours truly – are guilty of accepting as the ‘normal’ thing to do. Not anymore. We are not Uganda, no matter what Shah Sharabeel says, and need to follow the international ‘ethics in fashion’ laws instead of forever improvising to our convenience.
International regulations outline that samples being sent out to the media should not be of a usable quantity. Cosmetic companies send out tiny sample sizes of perfumes, creams, lotions, etc. And the best thing for fabric designers to do would be to send swatches of their designs with a catalogue and price listing. One appreciates that designers like Sana Safinaz also make their brochures available to journalists ahead of time, so they can choose, book and ‘buy’ whatever they like instead of braving the crowds. And that gesture is privilege enough.
So while we welcome you into the fashion industry with open arms, especially since you bring in a huge cash flow that even bridal manufacturers haven’t been able to manage, we’d like you to follow some ground rules. This game is about to get bigger and we would want it growing in the right direction.

that has ever been invented. In this information I let you know what you have
to know to make an knowledgeable choice about your muscle
building future. Publish Cycle Remedy (PCT) is often used to stimulate endogenous testosterone
production post-cycle. Steroids speed up restoration by increasing muscle
protein turnover and lowering muscle breakdown post-exercise.
We have found this steroid cycle to be a extra standard protocol amongst intermediate steroid users.
This mixture of testosterone and Deca Durabolin is the least poisonous bulking
stack in our experience. Intermediate customers commonly
administer this stack once their physique comfortably tolerates testosterone-only
cycles. Anadrol is an oral steroid, which makes it advantageous for individuals who wish to circumvent injections.
Anecdotally, we’ve noticed that first-time Anadrol cycles can add over 30 kilos to a user’s weight.
These anabolic actions of testosterone are regarded
as primarily as a end result of testosterone acting
upon the androgen receptor in anabolic-responsive tissues.
Moreover, DHT can not endure further discount,
nor is it a substrate for aromatase; thus, it isn’t converted to
estrogenic metabolites. DHT has been shown to bind avidly to receptors in tissues, corresponding
to pores and skin, scalp, and prostate, and to exert 3-4 occasions the
androgenic impact of testosterone. Thus, the primary hormone mediating the androgenic results of testosterone is definitely the 5-alpha decreased DHT.
Progestins are steroid hormones which would possibly be usually prescribed to
postpone warmth cycles or alleviate false pregnancies in female canine and treat benign prostatic hypertrophy in male dogs.
They may be used for some forms of pores and skin issues or to change
aggressive behavior.
Protein consumption ought to be round 1mg per 1
pound of physique weight as a information, however hardcore guys will often double
that. The boosted power and aggression that many steroids
ship will see you lifting heavier and having a better intensity whereas working
out. Most guys will find they will do two intense workouts a day and fit a week’s value
of exercises off gear into a few days while on gear.
It’s not simply the post-session restoration that may improve huge time, although.
Restoration between units might be rather more environment friendly,
allowing you to work out longer since you’re staving off fatigue.
This then brings on quicker outcomes as you match more
and more into each workout28.
This corticosteroid was included within the IOC record on 25
January 1995 under substances requiring declaration and restricted by
route of administration. Oxandrolone is also used to deal with bone pain in folks with osteoporosis and to forestall
certain side effects in individuals who take corticosteroids for an extended time.
This substance was first listed in the IOC doping record on 31 January 1998 as an anabolic agent.
This substance was first listed in the IOC doping record in 2001 as a steroid precursor.
Whereas women and men naturally produce Testosterone, it was first synthesized in 1935 in Germany.
Testosterone isn’t technically an “anabolic” Steroid,
however a Steroid nonetheless. Turinabol is a managed substance in plenty of countries, together with the
Usa, where it is categorized as a Schedule III drug.
Its non-medical use is in opposition to the law, and possession and not using a prescription can result in authorized action. Anavar and Primobolan are the commonest steroids utilized by ladies desirous to avoid virilization. When women are
biking mild steroids such as Primobolan or Anavar, they may not expertise any adverse unwanted
side effects. Some believe that PCT solely applies to men as a outcome
of they have greater testosterone ranges; however, testosterone
nonetheless stays an important hormone for women’s sexual and psychological function.
It is among the least androgenic steroids, making it a high pick for these wanting muscle positive aspects without
extreme unwanted facet effects. This makes it essential to use Anavar rigorously, despite the actual
fact that it is thought-about one of many anabolic steroids with least unwanted effects.
There are also behavioral therapies for substance
use disorders, such as contingency administration or cognitive behavioral remedy.
Treatments for anabolic steroid use disorder usually focus on the underlying causes
of steroid use.
Anabolic steroids aren’t outright unlawful everywhere but buying,
selling, or possessing them and not using a prescription is
illegal in plenty of nations, including the U.S.
Asia Pharma is a big steroid producer in the
Asian continents, best identified for medicine corresponding to
Cypiobolic, Durabolic, Aquabolic, Decabolic, and Turanabolic, among
others. The lab’s products are unique in yielding spectacular outcomes even when taken in small
doses. In addition to producing protected merchandise,
Asia Pharma’s steroids are nice for chopping cycles.
With testosterone as a substrate, this response yields essentially the most potent naturally occurring androgen, namely, dihydrotestosterone
(DHT). In adults these enzymes are expressed, amongst different tissues, in the liver, skin, prostate,
epididymis, seminal vesicles, testis, kidney, pancreas and mind (19).
It should be famous that DHT just isn’t thought to contribute to the muscle-building effects of testosterone.
DHT levels are (very) low in skeletal muscle because it does not
considerably categorical the enzyme. DHT also seems to be damaged down in skeletal muscle by inactivation to 3α-androstanediol
by the enzyme 3α-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase (20, 21).

Any drug that affects or modifications the homeostasis (the inside
workings and techniques of the body) of one’s pure state, will have an impact.
With all the information, attention, and debate over performance-enhancing medication (or PEDs), many individuals want to additional perceive how performance-enhancing
drugs affect one’s body. It’s an essential space of concern for athletes and at the
foundation of why USADA and other anti-doping
organizations exist. Simply put, PEDs have the power or potential to
drastically alter the human physique and organic
functions, together with the flexibility to significantly improve athletic efficiency in sure situations.
These drugs, however, can be extremely harmful and,
in certain conditions, lethal. The adverse results these medication can have on one’s body make USADA’s mission paramount as
to why no athlete should ever have to suppose about
PED use to reach sport.
To deal with steroid use, the simplest strategies contain uncovering the underlying causes of the misuse.
Individuals who turn into depending on anabolic steroids can also have withdrawal signs if they
cease taking them. Without the drug of their system, they may really feel drained and restless,
stop eating and sleeping, lose their sex drive, and crave the drug.
The average nonprescription dose of anabolic steroids is 10–100 instances stronger than one a doctor would prescribe.
Since then it has been taken off the market,
and so any Primo you discover is certainly Underground produced.
HGH does have side effects, similar to decreased insulin sensitivity, water retention, and perhaps carpal tunnel syndrome.
That stated, in comparison with the side effects we
all know of from Steroids, that is nothing.
Anavar is derived from DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) and does not convert into
estrogen. You can even try getting additional sleep in addition to lowering
stress and different triggers.
The larger share of self-reported zits might also reflect an occurrence of this
side impact at different time limits during AAS use, which would have been missed by visible examination on the finish of a
cycle. Several studies highlighted that prolonged
androgen publicity has a direct poisonous impact on kidneys, particularly glomerular cells, causing
accumulation of mesangial matrix, podocyte depletion and structural diversifications [26,87,88,89].
In this regard, kidney tissues are characterized by the expression of ARs.
A latest report advised that ND exposure promotes hypertrophy
in proximal and distal convoluted tubules of mice kidneys
[90]. Furthermore, both testosterone activity and
direct ND motion to AR may play a role within the genesis of kidney fibrosis
after long-term ND publicity [89]. In common, the long-term effects of performance-enhancing medicine
haven’t been studied enough.
Ideally, you’d combine it with IGF-1, which does higher in this 2–3-week period.
You can take a glance at T3 and insulin for the more hardcore,
but only if you realize what you’re doing with these compounds.
In my opinion, it’s best to make use of Anavar in milder cycles the place you probably can minimize suppression whereas maintaining your positive aspects.
And while those features won’t be massive, they will be steady and dependable.
I’ll consider NPP and Anavar here as a end result of I already lined Winstrol,
Primo, Tren, and Masteron above. You may use nearly any short injectable ester or oral steroid as a secondary compound in a 6 to 8-week cycle.
Notably, renal histopathological adjustments have been extra pronounced six weeks after discontinuing androgens, indicating
that issues might persist even after the use is discontinued (Kahal and Allem, 2018).
The renal system is crucial for toxin excretion, fluid and
electrolyte steadiness, blood pressure regulation, hormone secretion, and
urine manufacturing (Hartgens and Kuipers, 2004).
Prolonged androgen administration can lead to important morphofunctional modifications and nephrotoxicity
(D’Errico et al., 2011, Filho et al., 2020). Morphologically, these adjustments predominantly
have an effect on the glomeruli, leading to mesangial matrix accumulation, podocyte attenuation, and
structural variations (Brasil et al., 2015, D’Errico et al.,
2011, Kahal and Allem, 2018, Riezzo et al., 2014).
“Anabolic” refers to tissue building (mainly muscle), and “androgenic” refers to a bunch of sex hormones
called androgens. Anabolic refers back to the
progress in muscle tissue, which is the primary cause why steroids are utilized by
women and men. Androgenic, however, refers to the male characteristics that
develop during puberty together with hair growth, a deeper voice, and pimples.
The primary use of anabolic steroids is to promote development
in livestock. In people they’re sometimes prescribed
to deal with delayed puberty, some types of impotence and wasting of the body caused by AIDS and other diseases.
Some athletes take steroids within the hopes that they may help them run faster, hit farther, carry heavier weights, bounce greater, or have extra endurance.
In the Usa, it’s towards the law to make use of
anabolic steroids and not utilizing a prescription. Anabolic steroids are
categorised as managed substances in many countries as a
outcome of their potential for misuse and abuse.
Other unwanted effects are muscle weak point, eye issues (including cataracts), and
a higher danger of diabetes. Some AAS users
self-medicate with phosphodiesterase kind 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil
to counteract erectile dysfunction (65).
This class of drugs inhibits the enzyme PDE5 which
breaks down cGMP – the second messenger molecule responsible for conveying
the signal of the cavernous nerve to induce an erection (195).
As part of the college, he accomplished a medical education fellowship and received a certificate in innovation in curriculum design and evaluation. He
