Karachi, 7 December 2009: Selsun Blue launched its new anti-dandruff shampoo that claims to be at least twice as effective as any other anti-dandruff shampoo in the market.

The event spanned throughout the day: in the morning, prominent stylists displayed their cutting prowess, sampled the shampoo and were highly pleased with the results; this was followed by a glamorous fashion show competition between Pakistan’s leading design schools; later, prominent artists such as Abid Ali and style diva Saba Ansari, along luminaries like Sohail Asghar, Sadia Imam, Shagufta Ejaz and many others graced the event with their presence and expressed their support for upcoming designers.

A petite starlet commented “I am willing to switch for the sake of my crowning glory and such a switch is healthy”

In many ways the event acted like a platform for the emerging talent of Karachi. There is no dearth of talent in the country, and more initiatives like this will augment the new generation’s aspirations and hopes to work harder. Continue

SHAANAKHT FESTIVAL 2009.
By Mishelle Raza

The Festival held from 9th – 11th Nov 2009, was a free, and open to the public event

‘This is not the time for forty million women of Pakistan to sit quietly.’ Women across the country in 1947 sat up and took notice of Begum Raana Liaqat’s words. It was time to roll up their sleeves and get to work – Pakistan was a fledgling nation with no identity, except that of a Muslim state molded painstakingly from the rubble of a hasty British exit from the subcontinent. During the 1940s and 1950s, Pakistani women joined their brave sisters who had struggled for Partition – they participated in jalsas, led demonstrations on the streets, courted arrest, ran clandestine radio stations and shed the veil as a form of protest.

November 9th 2009, 1830 hours. As I sit here with an eye on the television, watching MotoGP which I was waiting for the whole week, I am neither at ease nor at peace. Today someone in Peshawar killed innocent peaceful people again, and all I did for them was to attend a Peace Rally. The day started like every other Sunday; I woke up late enough to miss the morning bomb blast. Then the dilemma of “should I go to this peace rally I have been told about or not” crept in. The bed, the television, the laptop in my lap, and breakfast in bed were like shackles not letting me out of my bedroom. But the news of killing of innocent people made my bed of roses not so appealing anymore.. Continue
