Village Desi Eggs for Sportsmen

A natural, everyday source of protein — and what actually separates a village egg from a commercial one.

For sportsmen, athletes, and people who follow an active lifestyle, nutrition is central to maintaining energy, supporting muscle function, and recovering after physical activity. Among everyday foods, eggs remain one of the most convenient and affordable sources of high-quality protein — and in Pakistan, village desi eggs carry an added layer of tradition, taste, and freshness.

Why Protein Matters for Sportsmen

Protein plays a central role in maintaining and repairing muscle. Anyone training regularly — strength work, running, or team sport — pays close attention to daily intake, and eggs earn their place because they fit into breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a post-workout meal without friction.

Protein is only one part of the picture, though. A balanced sporting diet still needs carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and enough fluid to match training load.

Eggs as a Convenient Protein Source

Eggs are popular among athletes because they're fast to prepare and combine easily with other nutrient-dense foods. A plate of eggs with whole-grain bread, roti, vegetables, fruit, or yogurt covers protein and several other essentials at once — boiled, scrambled, poached, or as an omelette, the format bends to whatever the day's meal plan needs.

What Are Village Desi Eggs?

In Pakistan, "desi egg" generally refers to eggs from traditional or village poultry farming, raised under different environments, feeding, and management than large commercial operations. Many consumers choose them for their traditional origin, taste, and connection to local farming.

Worth knowing: egg composition varies with breed, feed, age, and farming conditions — so it's better to judge village eggs on overall quality, freshness, and sourcing than to assume every village egg automatically carries more protein than a commercial one.

Why Freshness and Sourcing Matter

Knowing where food comes from changes how consumers choose what to buy. Freshness, handling, storage, and transport all matter — and with eggs specifically, responsible sourcing from collection through delivery is what separates a reliable supplier from a random one.

How Sportsmen Can Include Eggs in Their Diet

Boiled eggs as a convenient snack between sessions
Eggs combined with yogurt or milk for a protein-rich meal

The right amount depends on age, body size, activity level, training routine, and overall diet — there's no single number that fits everyone.

Village Desi Eggs and an Active Lifestyle

Sports performance never rests on one food. Consistent training, sleep, hydration, and recovery all carry as much weight as diet. Eggs are simply a practical, low-effort part of that picture — and for people who prefer traditionally sourced food, village desi eggs connect everyday nutrition to local farming practice.

“We will select our team based on the conditions we encounter in the USA, where we will face unfamiliar opponents. Adaptability in team selection is crucial in modern cricket, and our players are fully aware of their roles.”

Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning getting word out on prostate cancer

Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning getting word out on prostate cancer

MIAMI - NBA Hall of Famer and former Miami Heat great Alonzo Mourning is speaking publicly for the first time since announcing his cancer diagnosis.

"This isn't about me. This is much bigger than me. It truly is. You know, I feel like God is kind of using me as a vehicle in order for me to get the word out," said Mourning.

Mourning is warning about prostate cancer following a stage three diagnosis in February.

The former Heat center and now vice president for player programs and development had surgery to remove his prostate 11 weeks ago.

"Even though it was a high-grade cancer, it had reached a point where I'd had spread to my bloodstream or my organs. I was blessed. I truly was. It stayed in this capsule, and they were able to remove it," said Mourning.

Mourning says his diagnosis came as a surprise since he says he was in the best shape he had been in - in a while.

"Doctors told me it was way beyond your control. Your grandfather had prostate cancer. Your father had prostate cancer. So there's a 50% chance that you will get prostate cancer," said Mourning.

Mourning says he has received an outpouring of support from the NBA community and beyond.

Receiving messages from people who have gone through the same thing.

He says that's why he's making it his mission to use his platform to bring awareness – that screenings save lives.

"It's a lot of people that won't be as lucky as I am. But I feel like if I can touch them before it even gets to that point and they're able to make the right health decisions for themselves then that's what this is all about," said Mourning.

We asked Mourning, who is a huge philanthropist in the South Florida community, how would he incorporate this issue in his charity work.

He says he hasn't thought about it but will continue to speak to as many men as he can.

Anveshi Jain, the girl who left us stunned with her bold avatar in Gandii Baat 2, is overwhelmed with the appreciation she is receiving. But is that all she ever wished for?

Read more about this growing phase of her career, and what’s next on her list.

Do you think Gandii Baat 2 was the much-awaited turning point in your career?

Anveshi Jain: Yes, surely it was. My work in Gandii Baat 2 was acknowledged and as a result, I have started getting a lot of assignments. I am receiving offers for multiple web series and projects from Tollywood. I can’t be grateful enough for this growing phase of my life.

Do you fear being typecast in the industry because of your past couple of roles?

Anveshi Jain during a Photoshoot

Anveshi Jain: Yes I do. I have this fear of being stereotyped as someone who can only do intimate scenes or is comfortable in pushing boundaries on TV, which is why I am not rushing through the process. It’s a risk but it is better than sitting jobless.

What do you feel about the objectification of women in the industry? Does it still persist?

Anveshi Jain: I feel men and women both have different kind of issues to deal with. Gone are the times when we used to feel more empathetic towards women alone. Although I believe one has to take their own responsibility for the choices they make. It will keep persisting until and unless we come forward and raise our voice against it.

From anchor, dating coach to an actor, you have always been a multitasker. But if you have to focus your energy on one of these things, what would you choose?

Anveshi Jain: I will choose Singing … just kidding. I believe I am born with the passion to live and feel versatile characters and inspire others. So if I have to give it all to one field, it would surely be acting. Without any second thoughts, I will join theatres again.

You are relatively new to this industry. What is that one new you find extremely annoying and intolerable as compared to the outside world?

Anveshi Jain: Well, right now I am too grateful to find any sort of flaw in any part of it. Also, Mumbai has made me wise enough to understand that it ain’t going to be easy or perfect. So there is no point comparing the two worlds.

What are your other projects in the pipeline?

Anveshi Jain: I have been fortunate enough to bag 2 Tamil movies and one Amazon prime super intriguing web series. Besides, I am in a conversation for one web series for zee network and few Punjabi music videos. I am releasing my debut singing album in the month of March.

Maldives Bans Is_ráéli Passports Holders from Entering Maldives

2024-06-05T12:57:00.005+05:00

Maldives Bans Is_ráéli Passports Holders from Entering Maldives

The government of the Maldives has announced a ban on Israeli visitors due to growing public concern over the situation in Gaza. Known for its stunning white sand beaches and luxury resorts, the Indian Ocean archipelago will no longer welcome travelers with Israeli passports.

President Mohamed Muizzu declared the ban and launched a fundraising campaign called “Maldivians in Solidarity with Palestine.” This move comes as a response to the increasing public pressure and the political climate in the Maldives. Last year, around 11,000 Israelis visited the Maldives, but this year, the number of Israeli tourists has dropped significantly.

The decision to ban Israeli visitors has been influenced by both opposition parties and allies within the government who have been urging President Muizzu to take a stand. They believe that this ban is a necessary step to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

In light of this new policy, an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman has advised Israelis currently in the Maldives to consider leaving the country. This advisory aims to ensure the safety and well-being of Israeli nationals amidst the changing political landscape.

It is important to note that the Maldives is not the only country to impose such restrictions. Israeli passport holders are also banned from entering several other countries, reflecting broader geopolitical tensions in the region.

The Maldives’ decision underscores the impact of international conflicts on global travel and tourism. For a country that heavily relies on tourism, this ban represents a significant shift. The Maldives has long been a popular destination for tourists from around the world, including Israelis. However, the rising public sentiment regarding the Gaza situation has led to this dramatic policy change.

In addition to the travel ban, the fundraising campaign initiated by President Muizzu aims to support the Palestinian people. The campaign, titled “Maldivians in Solidarity with Palestine,” seeks to gather financial aid to help those affected by the conflict. This effort is part of a broader initiative to align the Maldives with international support for Palestine.

The situation in Gaza has elicited strong reactions globally, and the Maldives is now positioning itself as a supporter of the Palestinian cause. This move is likely to resonate with many Maldivians who have expressed their solidarity with Palestinians.

Pakistan’s New Gwadar International Airport Successfully Conducts Test Flight

Pakistan’s New Gwadar International Airport Successfully Conducts Test Flight

Federal Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives, Ahsan Iqbal, recently shared exciting news about the future of Gwadar. He announced that Gwadar is on its way to becoming a world-class port city, full of growth and development opportunities. This transformation is largely thanks to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which has been a major driver of progress in the region.

Ahsan Iqbal praised the advancements made through CPEC, highlighting Gwadar’s strategic importance. According to him, CPEC is key to turning Gwadar into a major port city that will boost economic development not just in the area, but throughout Pakistan.

China has played a significant role in these efforts, investing heavily in various parts of Pakistan, including Gwadar. These investments include the construction of modern port facilities and initiatives to promote socioeconomic growth. One of the standout projects in Gwadar is a state-of-the-art hospital, offering medical services on par with those found in major cities like Karachi and Lahore.

Minister Iqbal pointed out that Gwadar’s development under CPEC is a prime example of how international cooperation can lead to substantial local benefits.

The new infrastructure and facilities being developed are expected to create many job opportunities, stimulate the local economy, and improve the overall quality of life for Gwadar’s residents.

In his statement, Ahsan Iqbal expressed his optimism about Gwadar’s future. He emphasized that with continued support and ongoing development, Gwadar will evolve into a major hub for trade and industry. This transformation is set to attract global investments, making Gwadar a center of progress and development.

He explained that the growth of Gwadar will have a positive impact on the entire region. The new infrastructure, such as advanced port facilities and the cutting-edge hospital, will provide residents with improved services and opportunities. This will not only boost the local economy but also make Gwadar a more attractive place to live and work.

The Minister’s vision for Gwadar includes turning it into a bustling port city that can compete on the global stage.

He believes that the investments and developments being made now will pave the way for a bright future. Gwadar’s transformation is anticipated to serve as a model of successful international cooperation and regional development.

China’s Growing Demand for Colored Gemstones Urges Pakistan to React Quickly

2024-06-05T12:54:00.010+05:00

China’s Growing Demand for Colored Gemstones Urges Pakistan to React Quickly

The 2024 Beijing International Gold, Jewelry, and Gemstone Exhibition concluded on June 3 at the Beijing Exhibition Center. The event featured exhibitors not only from major Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou but also from various international jewelers. Chinese consumers showed consistent enthusiasm for gold, jade, pearls, and other precious items. Notably, there was a marked interest in colored gemstones, with a significant crowd around the booths of exhibitors from Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

“The quality of colored gemstones from Pakistan and Sri Lanka caught my eye, so I stopped to ask about the prices. I might find something good to buy,” a consumer shared with the reporter.

In 2023, the total import and export value of China’s jewelry industry reached a record high of $145.334 billion, an increase of 8.62% year-on-year. Chinese consumers show a strong interest in gold and silver jewelry products for both their aesthetic and investment value. Additionally, Pakistan’s exports of gems and precious stones to China saw a 47 percent increase in 2023, indicating growing recognition of the quality of Pakistani gemstones among Chinese buyers.

Muhammad Amjad, the owner of PIEDRA, a Pakistani colored gemstone company, brought emeralds, aquamarines, and other gems from Peshawar to the exhibition. “I came to China in 2006 and have been in the colored gemstone business ever since. The reason for choosing to do business in China is simple: the good relationship between the two countries and the strong purchasing power of Chinese consumers. My partners here have never deceived me, which I value highly. Although sales have fluctuated in the past few years due to various factors, the market is now recovering, and I am very confident,” Muhammad Amjad told the reporter.

Since 2023, demand for colored gemstones in China has been steadily expanding, supplementing the traditional safe-haven asset of gold. According to market research by the China Gems and Jade Association (Beijing) Fund Management Co., the average price increase for colored gemstones across all categories in China during the first half of 2023 ranged between 30% and 50%. Prices for larger or relatively rare gems surged by as much as 100% to 150%.

“Although the demand for precious-colored gemstones hasn’t surged as dramatically as that for gold, it has remained relatively stable, with a consistent customer base. In recent years, with the rise of e-commerce and social media platforms, younger consumers have become increasingly accepting of colored gemstones,” said Ma Xiaozhong, a jeweler from China. Ma owns Muny Asia Jewellery, a colored gemstone company in Beijing, and has been in the business for over 20 years. “We source raw gemstones from around the world, process them domestically, and sell them both locally and in Western markets. Unfortunately, we haven’t established stable cooperation with Pakistan.”

When asked why, Ma provided a cautious response: “Pakistan’s gemstone industry has a longer history than China’s. In Peshawar’s gemstone market, you can find family businesses that have been around for a century. It’s difficult for outsiders to enter the market, and it’s not easy for foreigners to do business there. Pakistan’s gem certification institutions aren’t aligned with international standards, and some certification documents are not recognized.” Ma’s story highlights a missed opportunity.

Various indicators suggest that China, as Pakistan’s all-weather strategic partner, boasts a thriving and growing market for colored gemstones. Pakistan, with its diverse geological conditions, is rich in high-quality natural-colored gemstones. However, the two countries have not fully leveraged their friendly relations to explore the potential of this industry. Currently, a few Pakistani companies with stable cash flow, gemstone resources, and professional design teams have the necessary conditions to enter the Chinese market. In contrast, Peshawar-based traders, who rely on bulk sales, face numerous challenges in establishing deeper cooperation with China.

From the perspective of a brand jeweler, Muhammad Amjad shared some insights with us: “One problem is that Pakistan lacks effective advertising methods. Chinese businessmen are smart; they use short video platforms like TikTok and Kuaishou to promote their brands or unique national gemstones, leaving a lasting impression on consumers and even driving up product prices. In contrast, we can only wait in Peshawar for buyers from other countries.”

Indeed, lacking product visibility hampers sales, especially for goods with financial attributes, but visibility must be predicated on quality. Muhammad added, “Secondly, we urgently need to establish a gem certification institution that meets international standards. Our laboratories don’t meet these standards, and traders from around the world label our gems with other countries’ tags and sell them to high-end jewelry brands like Cartier. This harms us.”

Recently, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized in a statement from his office, “Efforts should be made to obtain international certifications for precious stones and the products made from them, and to ensure Pakistani representation in global exhibitions.”

Furthermore, Pakistan’s gemstone export industry faces significant hurdles due to a lack of financial infrastructure. In Azad Market Namak Mandi, gem trader Abdul Ahad highlighted key issues: “One major issue is payment; many of our clients prefer PayPal, which is not available in Pakistan. Another issue is the lack of DHL branches, leading to slow shipping times of 15-20 days, despite using DHL’s name.”

Another pressing challenge is gemstone cutting. High-quality cutting significantly enhances the value of gemstones, yet Pakistan’s gemstone cutting sector remains underdeveloped. The equipment and methods used are outdated, resulting in lower-quality cuts. “The cutting techniques and tools in Pakistan are outdated. We lack modern machinery and rely on traditional hand-cutting methods, which cannot meet international market demands for modern cuts,” Abdul Ahad added.

Two weeks ago, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized in an office statement the need to develop the country’s gems and precious stones sector, urging authorities to take steps to grant it the status of an industry. Under the trade bridge established by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the exchange of technology and equipment is inevitable. Colored gemstones could potentially become a cornerstone of Pakistan’s economic revitalization.

Zil Hajj Moon Likely to to be Sighted on June 7

Zil Hajj Moon Likely to to be Sighted on June 7

As Pakistanis get ready for the upcoming Eid ul Adha, many are busy buying sacrificial animals. Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz has announced that the Zil Hajj moon is expected to appear on June 6. If the moon is sighted on June 7, it will mark the beginning of the new Islamic month, Zil Hajj.

Eid ul Adha is a significant festival for Muslims, involving the sacrifice of animals such as cattle, goats, and sheep to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. This tradition is deeply rooted in Islamic culture and is observed with great reverence.

To accommodate the surge in demand for sacrificial animals, special markets have been established in various parts of the country. One of the largest markets is located in Taiser Town, Karachi. These markets are bustling with activity as people search for the best animals to purchase for the sacrifice.

The authorities have ensured that these markets are well-equipped with various facilities to make the shopping experience easier and more comfortable for visitors. ATMs and temporary bank branches have been set up to provide convenient financial services. Additionally, free water is available to keep everyone hydrated in the hot weather.

To ensure the well-being of both the animals and the buyers, veterinary inspections are carried out regularly. These inspections help confirm that the animals are healthy and fit for sacrifice. Dedicated land areas have been allocated for cattle sheds, providing a proper space for the animals to stay until they are sold.

The anticipation for Eid ul Adha is palpable as families and communities come together to prepare for the festival. The markets are not just places for buying animals; they also serve as social gathering spots where people can meet, share stories, and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

As the expected sighting of the Zil Hajj moon draws near, excitement builds among Muslims who look forward to celebrating Eid ul Adha. This festival is a time of joy, reflection, and charity, as the meat from the sacrificed animals is often distributed among family, friends, and those in need.

Pakistan Inflation Slows Unexpectedly Despite Record Interest Rates

2024-06-04T11:55:00.008+05:00

Pakistan Inflation Slows Unexpectedly Despite Record Interest Rates

Pakistan’s inflation rate has decreased for the fifth month in a row, mainly due to better domestic food supplies and lower fuel prices. This decline in inflation happened even though the central bank has kept interest rates at record highs for almost a year.

According to a survey by Bloomberg, consumer prices in May increased by 11.76% compared to the same month last year.

This is the lowest inflation rate Pakistan has seen in almost two and a half years and is better than the median estimate of 13.7%. To put it in perspective, the inflation rate was 17.34% in April, making the May figure a significant improvement.

The consistent drop in inflation over the past five months suggests that the measures taken to stabilize food and fuel supplies are having a positive impact.

Lower inflation is good news for consumers, as it means the cost of living isn’t rising as quickly. This relief comes at a time when the central bank’s high-interest rates are aimed at controlling inflation but can also make borrowing more expensive.

Gautam Adani Overtakes Mukesh Ambani as Asia’s Richest Man

2024-06-04T11:52:00.004+05:00

Gautam Adani Overtakes Mukesh Ambani as Asia’s Richest Man

Gautam Adani, the Founder and Chairman of the Adani Group, has once again become Asia’s richest person, surpassing Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index as of June 2, Adani is now the 11th richest person in the world with a net worth of $111 billion. In comparison, Ambani is ranked 12th globally with a net worth of $109 billion. This shift in rankings highlights the dynamic nature of wealth accumulation among the world’s richest individuals.

Adani’s rise back to the top spot in Asia was fueled by a significant 14% increase in Adani Group’s shares on May 31. This boost in the stock price came after a report from Jefferies, a global investment bank, which highlighted the group’s ambitious expansion plans.

According to the report, the Adani Group is planning to invest $90 billion in capital expenditure over the next ten years. This aggressive investment strategy is aimed at expanding the group’s various businesses, which include ports, energy, and infrastructure, among others.

Earlier this year, Adani had fallen behind Ambani in the rankings due to serious allegations of fraud against the Adani Group in 2023. These allegations had a negative impact on the group’s stock prices and, consequently, on Adani’s net worth. However, the recent positive developments and strategic plans have helped Adani recover and reclaim his position as Asia’s wealthiest person.

Adani’s journey to the top has been marked by rapid growth and strategic acquisitions. His group’s expansion into diverse sectors has positioned it as a key player in India’s economic landscape. The recent investment plans, as highlighted by Jefferies, are expected to further strengthen the group’s market position and drive long-term growth.

On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani, who held the title of Asia’s richest person for some time, remains a formidable competitor. Ambani’s Reliance Industries is a giant conglomerate with interests in petrochemicals, refining, oil, telecommunications, and retail.

Despite the recent shift in rankings, Ambani continues to be a major force in the business world, and his company’s performance will likely keep the competition for the top spot intense.

The rivalry between Adani and Ambani reflects the dynamic and competitive nature of the business environment in Asia, particularly in India. Both businessmen have made significant contributions to their respective industries and have played crucial roles in shaping the economic landscape of the region.

As the Adani Group continues to implement its ambitious expansion plans, it will be interesting to see how the competition evolves between these two industrial giants. The investments and strategic decisions made by both Adani and Ambani will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the industries they operate in and for the broader economy.

Japan Develops Drug to Regrow Teeth Naturally

2024-06-04T11:50:00.003+05:00

Japan Develops Drug to Regrow Teeth Naturally

Japanese researchers have made an incredible breakthrough with a new drug that can regenerate teeth. This drug, developed by Kyoto University Hospital, has shown very promising results in both ferrets and mice, with very few side effects.

The next step is to test the drug on humans. Starting in September, 30 men aged between 30 and 64, each missing at least one molar, will participate in these trials. The drug will be given to them intravenously, and doctors will closely monitor its effectiveness and safety. If these trials go well, the drug could be available for everyone by 2030.

The way this drug works is by inhibiting a protein that stops teeth from growing. By blocking this protein, the drug allows new teeth to grow. This is especially hopeful news for people who have congenital tooth deficiencies, meaning they were born without certain teeth, or those who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons.

The potential impact of this drug is huge. It could mean that in the future, people won’t need dentures, implants, or bridges. Instead, they could simply regrow their own natural teeth. This would not only make life easier for many people but also improve their quality of life and overall health.

The researchers at Kyoto University Hospital are very excited about the potential of this drug. They believe that if the human trials are successful, it could revolutionize dental care. People all over the world could benefit from this treatment, making tooth loss a problem of the past.

This breakthrough represents a major advancement in medical science and could lead to other discoveries in regenerative medicine. For now, all eyes are on the upcoming human trials, with the hope that this drug will soon be a reality for everyone who needs it.
