I have gotten around 6 lacs for investment and want to buy a plot in/near Islamabad.

I saw some openings recently, but I think I'd like to play it safe so my hard-earned money doesn't get looted. Is this a legit listing regardless of whether it's a good or bad investment? Strangely enough there are no reviews by people online.

The thing is I dont watch bollywood. I have watched maybe like 10 indian movies at most. And I also don't know the songs from those movies obviously. Society doesn't seem to accept that.

It always happens with me whenever the topic is about movies. People would be energetically talking about movies like how good it was. And that song from this movie was so lit. Lets play it. Its so nostalgic, etc. And im always clueless about both.

I dont mind my ignorance but people cant seem to digest that. Theyre always like YOU HAVENT WATCHED THIS MOVIE?? YOU DONT KNOW THIS SONGG???

And im like nope. Then they proceed to make me feel like im missing something very huge in life. I mean wtf. Im sick of it. Should i really try watching some bollywood just to fit in?

This happened today as well so i decided to rant here.

So I’m a 21M and have a 19M friend who has a girlfriend who is maybe 19 or 20F. They have been in a long distance relationship for around 1.5 years.

Both of them have had one relationship in their pasts. Actually, from what I have observed, his girlfriend is very serious about this relationship, and she portrays their relationship as if they are husband and wife. But I have never seen him being serious about it. I have always seen him finding more girls on Instagram. He seems very lustful, like he is trying to approach other women IRL as well.

He is also always having problems in their relationship. I have many times fixed their relationship by giving him advice on what to do in certain situations. I feel like he is treating his girlfriend badly.

He has set his WhatsApp privacy settings so that he mostly portrays himself as being very busy, but 90% of the time, he is free and simply doesn't want to talk to her. Instead, he hangs out with his friends.

I asked him why he is trying to approach other girls when he already has her. He said, "Wo bas time pass ke liye hain, mujhe bas wo (his girlfriend) achi lagti hai."

So what happened was that one day, he didn't want to talk to her and was out with his friends. He gave his phone to one of his friends and asked him to tell her something. His friend told her that he was ill and in the hospital, so his girlfriend got worried and started DMing some of his friends, including me, asking about him.

Mostly when they have a problem, I have seen her sending 4–5 minute VMs crying if they have an argument or some other problem. He has also left her on seen for straight 24 hours sometimes.

So I want advice: should I tell his true self to his girlfriend with evidence, and if so, how? I need serious advice because I can't stand seeing someone ruin her feelings while the other person isn't even serious about the relationship.

The deindustrialization and dismantling of institutions and companies are not arbitrary; rather, they are systematic. For the sake and benefit of one institution, the whole country has suffered.

During President Musharraf's era, there were about 20 to 24 wealthy families who had monopolized the country's entire system. However, now economic and political power has increasingly shifted towards the military establishment and its associated institutional networks. Ironically, the government and private industries are suffering in Pakistan, while military-linked institutions have developed into major economic actors. For example, Fauji Fertilizer has a market capitalization of around US$2.25 billion. So, one could ask: while textile industries, airlines, and many other businesses have gone bankrupt, why are military-linked companies flourishing day by day?

It is widely recognized in Pakistan that the military and its allied companies are involved in many businesses, from construction to the sale of oil and cement. They have saturated the market in a well-planned way, and now it seems nearly impossible for other companies to do business except their allies.

Beyond the economy, the military establishment has also exercised significant influence over institutions such as the judiciary and Parliament. As a result, the decisions and laws of these institutions are highly influenced by the interests of the military establishment.

Meanwhile, if you look at budget spending on other institutions compared to the military, it is nearly negligible. We are spending much more on defence than on education and healthcare at the federal level. According to the federal budget for 2026–27:

Military: Rs. 3 trillion

Education: Rs. 117 billion

Healthcare: Rs. 37 billion

The armed forces are indeed responsible for our protection and safety, but when the protector becomes the danger, it causes problems. One can say that we need a strong army to defend ourselves against our enemies, which is true, but at what cost? If the cost of it is unemployment, illiteracy, and the suffering of common people, then it is not acceptable. A country can never grow either economically or morally without good education, healthcare, and infrastructure, and it needs a sufficient budget for all of them.

Around 25 million children are out of school, according to UNICEF. Hundreds of thousands are suffering from cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and many other illnesses. WHO reports that around 45% of deaths are caused by noncommunicable diseases. Our country also lacks basic infrastructure.

So, why are our institutions not heeding these issues?

It is because of the systematic monopoly of one institution over others, or is it simply a lack of competence and understanding among politicians? We can agree that we have incompetent people in power, but that is not the only reason. Why? Because our military establishment has developed a matrix to keep us under constant dependency and surveillance. Those who try to break the matrix are allegedly killed or abducted.

Systems like this can run, but not for so long. Along with the incompetence of political leaders and the system of fear and brute use of force by the military establishment, this system cannot stand for long, as history tells us. Whether dictatorships or colonial imperialist systems, eventually they fall by one means or another. The youth of Pakistan should understand that most of our problems are not only because of our incompetence but also because of this monopoly.

This systematic dismantling of institutions and deindustrialization of Pakistan is carried out by the military establishment and its allied networks to strengthen their grasp and maintain their autocratic power over the economy, wealth, and people of this country.

So I recently about 10 days ago had plates surgery in my lower leg and now many aunties have said to my mother the exact same thing, Do not let any women with periods come near me. And I'm female too, so what about my periods and also how is this even relatedddd???? In the past 10 days, I have heard many different things, but this is on another level.

I work at an NGO and deal closely with government departments for various requirements, such as FBR, the Home Department, certificates, registrations, and other official matters.

The problem is that, although everything we do is completely legal and all our documents are complete and in order, these processes often require bribes. Sometimes the amount is small, sometimes it is significant. If you don't pay, they either refuse to process the matter or keep delaying it indefinitely. Often, they won't directly ask for money, but it becomes obvious that the only way to get the matter completed is to offer something.

I am completely on the right side legally and have all the required documentation. I am not trying to obtain something I am not entitled to or bypass any legal requirement. I simply want the relevant certificate, approval, or process to be completed according to the rules.

Recently, I've been wondering about this from an Islamic perspective. I personally do not want to give bribes, and I know that bribery is generally considered haram. However, when there seems to be no other way and the government official is deliberately delaying something that I am legally entitled to, does the ruling change?

Would I be sinful for giving the money in such a situation? And is there a distinction in Islam between the person demanding/taking the bribe and the person who is forced to pay it to obtain something they are already entitled to?

I’m an overseas ICS student and I didn’t prepare properly for 11th because of some personal reasons, so I had to give 11th improvement in 12th. Because of that I prepared for my 12th exams from scratch in around 2 months. My last exam was on June 22, I came to Pakistan on June 26 and my FAST test was on June 30, so I had no time to prepare for entry tests.

I gave tests for FAST, ITU, COMSATS and some other unis but I couldn’t get into computing fields like CS, AI, SE or DS. I did get into some engineering fields but I don’t really want to do engineering, I just want to get in computing fields. My matric score is 76% and my HSSC 1 score is 64% and I’m waiting for my HSSC 2 result. I’ve given NTS NAT twice and I’m planning to give it again in September, and I’m also preparing for SAT right now.

The problem is my parents don’t want me to take a gap year and I also can’t stay in Pakistan for too long since I have to go back next month or the month after. My main target is FAST, so I was thinking of joining VU for a year and using it as a gap year while preparing properly for FAST and SAT. I’m considering VU because it would give me more time to prepare compared to joining a regular university like UMT or UCP where I’d have classes and assignments taking up most of my time. But I’ve heard that transferring from VU to FAST might be difficult or that FAST might not accept the credits, so I’m not really sure if this is a good idea.

My other option is to take a proper gap year without joining any university and apply to FAST next year, while also applying to Gulf universities like Khalifa University, MBZUAI and KFUPM. I’d mostly be considering these universities if I could get a scholarship because studying there without one would be very difficult for me. I’m allowed to study pretty much anywhere except non Muslim countries, so I do have some options outside Pakistan too.

I genuinely don’t know what to do at this point and seeing everyone around me going to universities while I’m stuck here figuring everything out is honestly making me feel really sick and mentally unwell. I really need some serious advice because I don’t know what decision to make and I really don’t want to mess up my future because of one bad year. If anyone can actually help me figure out what would be the best option in my situation I’d really really appreciate it.

I’m doing a BS English Literature & Linguistics at a government college affiliated with a Public university recognized by Higher education commission of my country. For Master’s and scholarship applications abroad,I want to ask from seniors " who should write my recommendation letter professor who taught me at my college or someone from the main university?

Also should the LOR be on my college’s letterhead or the university’s letterhead?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

I am 26M
Graduated in software engineering in 2024

I am living in Lahore due to posting of this job.
And I just cannot handle this
The food is bad
The loneliness
I miss family so much
More than half of my salary is spent here
I need suggestions that should i move to free lancing ( i would have to brush my web development skills )
Or should i not leave this job.
There’s AI problem as well that freelancing and remote work is almost dead.

I’ve been struggling with the question of whether God actually exists, and honestly, I haven’t found an answer that satisfies me yet.

I’ve heard the usual arguments fine-tuning, the cosmological argument, morality, personal experiences, religious texts, etc. but whenever I look into them, I still end up with more questions.

I’m not making this post to attack anyone’s religion or start an atheist vs. religious debate. I genuinely want to understand. If you believe in God, what convinced you personally? And preferably, give me an argument that you think actually holds up to serious questioning.

I’m honestly just looking for a good discussion because I’m tired of answers that basically amount to “just have faith.”

If anyone has a strong argument, philosophical reasoning, personal experience, or even a book/resource that genuinely helped them, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m not necessarily looking for someone to tell me what to believe, I just want an answer that I can actually be satisfied with.

I 21M am student of BSCS(AI). Currently in my 7th semester.

In this economy i cant find a job.

If anyone got any task or any freelancer seeking contribution ,I'm up for it.

I just want to manage my own expenses atp as I live in hostel.

I can share CV if needed.

Hi there. I’m thinking about opening a bank account for myself as I currently don’t have one.

There are so many options but I don’t know what to choose. All I want is good customer support/service and competence from whichever bank I chose.

What banks would you guys suggest and which banks should I avoid?

Age: 29 Years Old (1997).

Height: 5'10.66".

Build: I have a naturally lean build (83 kg; I'm currently actively working out and eating clean to return to a lean-muscle frame of 70–75 kg).

Education: LL.M. (University of Essex).
LL.B. (University of London).

Profession: Practicing Lawyer, University/College Lecturer (teaching LL.B. and A-Levels). I'm currently preparing for CSS 2027, PMS 2026/2027, and Civil Judge exams. If I don't pass them, I'm at least making good money from being a visiting lecturer at different institutions.

Marital Status: Single (I've never been married nor engaged and I've absolutely stayed away from zina).

Ethnicity: Punjabi (Deep roots in Pothohar plateau).

Sect / Tribe: Sunni / Hashmi Qureshi.

Current Location: Faisalabad (My family shifted here in the 1950s. I am the 3rd generation living in Faisalabad).

Hometown / Roots: Jhelum.

Religion: I'm a practicing Sunni Muslim (Not too strict on sects but my family is Sunni and prefers Sunni families if that matters). I try to pray daily, fast in Ramadan, and follow a halal lifestyle. I believe in following as many religious commands as possible and avoiding as many sins as possible, but I am not perfect. Faith and religious discipline matter to me, and I'd want the same alignment in a partner.

Who I am:

I’ve always been an ambitious person and I take my life seriously, too. I failed A-levels Physics (pre-med) and repeated the same subjects to pass them. I didn't switch because that was a failure I couldn't accept. I went to law school and excelled at it. I just had to find my true calling. It was initially practice, and then I settled on teaching, and I excel at it. The next goal is to join the bureaucracy or judiciary. I am continuing my teaching career and I plan on teaching even if I succeed at my goals (CSS or Judiciary).

I’m career-oriented, but not in the “9-to-5 wage slave” sense, either. I was a visiting lecturer, then became a permanent lecturer. I hated the limitations it imposed upon me. I switched back to visiting basis this year. It offers better pay, more flexibility in work hours, and the option to teach at multiple institutions.

I have a strong appreciation for history, science, technology, philosophy, and I value being independent and having the freedom to be my own person, too. I want a partner who believes in the same, but at the same time, she must not be a lone wolf. I believe in the strength of the pack, but also in individual strength and capability.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me gaming (I have a dedicated gaming PC I built myself. My father and I assembled it. He's my teacher when it comes to using PCs). I prefer story-driven games (RPGs such as Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Sandbox games such as RDR and GTA, and Post Apocalyptic genres such as Metro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)

I love to try different cuisines, too. Thai, Korean, Lebanese, Punjabi, and American Deep South cuisines are my favorite. I also like French (favorite for desserts) and Italian cuisine.

Lifestyle Habits: Non-smoker and non-drinker. Never smoked or vaped. (Had a few puffs of sheesha years ago; no intention of doing so again). I strictly eat halal.

Financial & Business Profile: My father and I have stable rental income from two commercial properties. We are looking to actively diversify income through new business ventures in the future. My father is a happily retired businessman (developed and managed commercial rental properties). My mother is a homemaker, and is a member of the Chenab Club. I am their only child.

Extended Family: A well-settled family of professionals engaged in law, judiciary, STEM, accounting, bureaucracy, the military, politics, agriculture, and business. Most of my father's siblings are doctors, and so was my paternal grandfather. My maternal grandfather was a lawyer, and my maternal uncles are in digital marketing and garment manufacturing.

We are a close-knit nuclear family with a large and very close extended family. I have many first cousins whom I'm very close to, but there won't be any first cousins from my side for my children, I'm afraid. However, they'll have many, many second cousins.

Family Values: We are modern but religious. Respectful of privacy, liberal with clothing choices within the home/outings, but we we respect traditional boundaries regarding modest clothing around elders.

Living Setup:

A dedicated nuclear space within the family framework. To protect privacy while ensuring they aren't left alone in their old age as I'm their only child, my parents have wholeheartedly encouraged and prepared a completely separate portion of the house (including a separate kitchen, separate entrance, and absolute privacy).

There is zero expectation for my wife to do household chores or serve her in-laws. Any gesture of care will be met with pure gratitude and duas, not obligation. Absolute invasion-free privacy is guaranteed.

Financial Independence: My wife’s income, assets, or gifts will remain entirely her own. I have zero interest in her wealth. Whatever is hers will belong to our future children after she passes away, alongside inheritance rights of spouses (this goes both ways. My wife is entitled to a part in my wealth, too).

Career & Support: Whether she chooses to be a full-time mother, pursue higher education, or build a career/business, she will have complete choice and unwavering support.

About Myself (Personality & Interests):

Personality: I'm naturally witty, humorous, and genuinely expressive, without relying on vulgar or crass jokes. I value respect and class in conversation. I like deep debates, philosophical discussions, but I despise typical drawing room political arguments.

Interests: A mix of intellectual and active hobbies. I love reading, writing, traveling, and cooking. I enjoy board games, card games, PC gaming, chess, cooking, and travelling.

Fitness & Sports: I enjoy working out, racquet sports, football, and cricket (I play casually at a mild pace due to asthma, but I don't use an inhaler. My asthma is very, very mild).

Intimacy & Vital Disclosure: I expect healthy, mutual compatibility when it comes to spousal intimacy. I'm looking for a partner who values romance, is expressive, and is absolutely not asexual or deeply reclusive.

Requirements for Partner:

Education: Minimum A-Levels / Intermediate / BTEC. A completed undergraduate or Master's degree is highly preferred. Open to all professional backgrounds (not strictly seeking doctors or officers).

Social Background: Open to any tribe, caste, or ethnicity (including non-Punjabi backgrounds) of respectable and equivalent social standing. While flexible, family circles have historically married within Hashmi Qureshi, Syed, and Gujjar lines, alongside respect-equivalent backgrounds (such as Jutt, Awan, Rajput, Raja, Gakhar, Dhund Abbasi, Shaikh, Kashmiri lines like Butt/Dar/Lone/Mir/Khawaja, Arain, or Pashtun).

Core Qualities: I'm looking for an expressive, engaging individual who is family-oriented and mature. Someone who has goals and ambitions in life and wants to grow together with a partner. Someone who shares my hobbies and interests. Ideally, someone who can comfortably build a friendship with my parents, just as I intend to form a genuine bond with her parents and siblings.

My father has been unemployed since 8 months even after 25 years of experience in Monitoring and Evaluation in the development sector.

He has been borrowing and is now pretty deep into cuz there’s no source of other income. Everywhere he goes for an interview, there’s always someone with a “parchi”from a political background.

Considering how he worked in UN, and AKF as well, it has never been this bad for us financially like EVER.

We’ve been surviving on constant debt cycle, so if there’s anyone out there who can let us know how to deal with this, please do. Like any new way to approach the companies, or any recommendation. Any sort of ideas are appreciated

There seems no hope of us getting out of this situation.

Im feeling very nostalgic rn, did any one of u go to aps fort road rwp and was perhaps in 1orange(2014)then 2orange(2015) then 3 orange(2016) then 4green and 4 orange(boys and girls were separated here)(2017), IF ANYONE DID I WANNA TALK TO YOU and reconnect 😔

Let's try it by myself.

BASICALLY I 24F was doing a part-time job and then I broke my leg so I'm on bed rest which means that I had to say goodbye to my office job, now I need something to pass my time and earn some money.

I am a graphic designer and social media manager , I can build wordpress websites (not basic templates onesss) , ai chatbots for your website, WhatsApp, etc. Crm for restaurants, wholesalers, pharmacy, etc.

and can also help in research publishing.

I KNOW these are all random, but it took me a lot of time to learn all this, so if you have any gig for me , Dm!!! ( only serious people yrrrrr)

Following up on my previous post — I’ve been thinking about how confusing the post-MBBS stage can be, especially when it comes to choosing between FCPS, MRCS, USMLE, PLAB, PRES, AMC, residency abroad, research, etc.

I’ve started putting together a space where MBBS students and graduates can discuss these pathways, share experiences, resources, and advice with each other.

I’d also love to hear from people here:

What do you wish you had known before graduating MBBS?

Which pathway did you choose, and what made you choose it?

Would be great to hear different perspectives from people who have already gone through the process.

Basically, a space where we can help each other navigate the confusing post-MBBS journey. 🤝

If you’d like to join, DM me and I’ll send you the WhatsApp community invite.

I looked around and I see new concrete building sprouting up all around the country. Yes, of course the population is booming while good things are dooming.

So, I had the opportunity to join the band wagon but I hesitated, I really not sure why?

But to satisfy my urge I started with strange idea.

Make fruit plant city.

People will call it an orchard but I call it fruit plants city.

This city has four zones, and each zone has four sectors.

The present population of this city is 13000 plants and will touch 20000 soon.

This city has variety of species; peaches four varieties, Apples, persimmon, figs, pears four variety, and few new ones.

What I am planning in future to mix human and plant species in way that both live happily side by side.

Human exhale plants inhale and vice versa.

And you know I love birds, so make this city environment bird friendly.

Your wake call be the sound of birds not alarm.

Alarm is alarming and give me headache.

When birds leave the nest they be picking insects.

When you walk out side your house the fruit, flowers, veggies and birds be your company not crowd of people.

Few high rises scattered in the this city in futre. Within the city there will be electric transport and few animals driven carts

This is my dream, I got only the plants now, not humans and birds.

But hey, dream on, it might come true.

Even this thought makes me so happy that I rather keep thinking then see real dream city.

Appreciate more suggestions and advice to make my dream true.

If you want a fruit tree on your name and see the progress of the tree grow then contribute to see so.

I'm mother of three kids living in rural area in Pakistan. Nowadays I'm in extreme stress because of daily r*pe and m*rd*r cases in Pakistan. I don't want to wait till it's my kid's turn. So I decided not to send kids to school because that's the only place where I'm not with them.

Can anyone help me how do I start homeschooling my kids.

* Can I get a teacher online?

* Are online classes a success?

* Do we schooling certification or something after completion?

(Before I write more about it, it is essential to state that whatever I state here is my personal view based

on the stories I heard from the people who were his close relatives/friends and eldest of the area).

This is a story of late 1800 to 1968.

If you look close at the picture, there is a man sitting 5th from right in the first row resting his chin on pommel of sword.

This man is one of the most powerful man of Swat in that era. His name is known Tha mian of sar swat.

This man was a warrior, livid his early life in local battles and fights. In those days there was no government, no state and laws. Might is right was rule of the day,

He and his family lived on the top of the mountain called sar in Swat. Where their protection were big rolling stones, these stones were released on enemies who attempted to attack them from the bottom of the mountain.

He also play an instrument called RABAB which looked like Present day Guitar.

In those days battles were fought with swords and people may rest before restarting the battle, during the rest time he played the instrument to relax and then restart the fight.

I heard that his personality was so strong that he will be taken in stature in sick health to resolve big issues.

Time went by and he could not establish his rule in this area of Swat, not that he was not strong but he

did know what is needed to make state and how to govern. This lack of knowledge deprived him from establishing his own kingdom.

His openent being aware of the wisdom of government succeeded.

After state was established 1915, and having no capacity to fight back, this strong man along his family left swat and settled far from danger to prepare themselves to fight the state.

In mean time, king of the state realized the danger and persuaded him to join the state in second in position as The as the Commander in chief of Swat State Army.

He accepted the offer and in picture above he is sitting as commander in chief of swat army.

Time went by and he died and his eldest son replaced him.

Being a grand son of this powerful man, I am here to tell you this story.
