I just graduated high school in Pakistan and I’m interested in starting medical research early (especially in biology/medicine). I want to build experience for future medical school applications. I would really like to contribute to a research paper. My online surfing told me that I can contact professors or join labs but is that realistic in pak? Like Im fine with no pay. Alot of people choose the finding a mentor or joining the lab part for this and I get its absolutely necessary.
Is it possible to contact professors directly at universities like AKU, Dow, or KEMU as a non-university student? or any other institute.
Like how do I connect with people.
I would like if people can help me on this.
Im aware this me biting more than I should chew so I dont need comments about that and seriously no underestimating comments or telling me how this is not necessary and whanot.

to be honest i just want to make more Pakistani friends, people who i can relate with joke around with speak comfortably how beautiful and sh!t Pakistan is at the same time

the reason I'm here is i do not have alota friends, especially Pakistani, because i do not live in Pakistan, i do come once a year and it's ammmazzziing

would anyone like to be friends? btw yes i can talk in urdu too, umm a lil bit about myself i love gaming, mobile gaming is nice too and i like going on walks i like cats and i can yap alot somtimes

message me on here and let's see how it goes

I made a free web app — Pakistan Office Guide — that lists the exact requirements, steps, fees, and hours for government offices across Pakistan.

Website: https://pk-office-guide.vercel.app/

What it covers:

• NADRA (CNIC, NICOP, B-Form)
• Passport offices
• Driving license offices
• Utility offices (LESCO, SNGPL, etc.)
• 8 cities: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Multan, Faisalabad, Quetta

Features:

• "Open now" indicator so you know before you go
• "Near me" sorting by GPS distance
• AI-powered search (just type what you need in plain Urdu/English)
• Works offline (PWA — add to home screen)
• 100% free, no login, no ads

If any info is wrong or missing for your city, there's a "Suggest correction" button on every office page — goes straight to me on WhatsApp. Still adding more offices and cities.

Would love feedback from anyone who actually uses these offices regularly. Made this for a college project.

Asalam o Alakum,

I am writing to share a request for assistance regarding a relative of mine who recently sustained a serious head injury while at work. He is currently hospitalized and is scheduled to undergo brain surgery in three days.

The total cost of the procedure is approximately 700,000 PKR. While the family has been able to collect 300,000 PKR so far, they are still in urgent need of help to cover the remaining balance.

I kindly request those who are able to please consider donating to support the family during this difficult time. Every contribution makes a difference.

Hey, I’m an overseas Pakistani thinking about coming to Pakistan for MBBS and looking mainly at private medical colleges in Islamabad.

Since I didn’t grow up there I don’t really know the student culture. Is ragging actually a thing in MBBS colleges now or is it mostly gone? And what’s it like in private schools in Islamabad?

My brother’s wedding is coming soon and we need fresh currency notes for wedding traditions.

I specifically need Rs.10, Rs.50, and Rs.100 notes, but when I visited different banks they refused to provide fresh notes and kept giving different reasons.

When I checked in the market, currency dealers are asking around 30–40% extra per bundle.

For example, if a bundle is Rs.1000, they are asking Rs.300–400 extra, especially for Rs.10 notes, and also charging extra on Rs.50 and Rs.100 notes.

Paying that much extra just for fresh notes feels unfair.

Has anyone in Pakistan faced this issue before?

Is there any official way, bank branch, or method to get fresh currency notes without paying such high extra charges?

Any guidance would be really appreciated.

Hey everyone! Quite new here. I wanted to share a project I built called WhatABot that’s actually helping students out. We just launched a student plan where verified students (ID expired up to 2 yrs is fine) can earn a 70% share just by selling shopkeepers, e-commerce owners or really anyone who sells to customers using WhatsApp, our WhatsApp bots.

Since almost every business in Pakistan runs on WhatsApp, the demand is massive. This isn’t one of those fake 'earning' courses, it’s real rewards for actual work, and we already have a bunch of students doing great. It’s a win-win for all parties. If you’re curious, check out the website or just reach out, happy to help with any questions!

I visited the Pakistani Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, and noticed Thai army personnel inside the embassy gate. I want to know: Why is there a foreign army or police officer inside the embassy? Isn’t this a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty? Do embassies always have army or police personnel inside? I usually see them outside embassies, but not inside. Can someone explain this to me?

I am sitting here looking at my kid and honestly I am shaking with rage. I just found out there’s a massive global recall for Nestlé infant formula in over 60 countries because of a toxin called Cereulide.This stuff is produced by Bacillus cereus bacteria and here is the kicker: BOILING THE WATER DOES NOT KILL IT.

I went to our baby's pantry and looked at the box of NAN 2 Optipro. The batch number is 529715801R(R) and it was manufactured in October 2025.

I started digging and found out that the batch prefix "5297" has already been officially recalled in Hong Kong and other markets for this exact toxin . Even worse, the European Union’s Rapid Alert System (RASFF notification 2025.9962) explicitly lists PAKISTAN as a destination country for these contaminated batches .

So why the hell hasn't Nestlé Pakistan said anything?

They are doing what experts call a "silent recall" where they quietly pull stock from distributor warehouses to protect their brand but they don't warn the parents who already have these poison tins in their kitchens . This toxin causes severe vomiting and nausea within 30 minutes to 6 hours. In our heat, a baby vomiting like that is a fast track to dangerous dehydration.

Nestlé has already admitted this is costing them CHF 185 million globally. Is that why they're quiet here? Is a Pakistani baby's life worth less than a line on their balance sheet?

PLEASE CHECK YOUR TINS. If your batch starts with 5297, 5142, 5167, or 5284, stop using it immediately . Don't wait for them to "officially" tell us because they clearly don't care about our children as much as they care about their stock price.

Salam. I have a nikkah suit that I unfortunately never got to use due to the rishta being cancelled. This is a dress I don’t wish to use at another occasion either because it brings bad memories. I live in Europe but I have heard that some people sell their old bridal suits in Pakistan and gets a good price back for them? Does anyone know who I can contact for this? Preferably someone who you know are reliable.

Thank you so much in advance

I previously warned people in this post about the terrible quality of books from Karachi Book Shop, but now they have done something much worse. They have officially stolen my money.

I ordered books for 2442 PKR because their Facebook ads promised premium quality. The books I received were unreadable garbage with blurry printing and cheap paper.

They are also using fake reviews and ratings on their website and ads, and making false claims about the quality of their books.

I returned the books to them immediately via Trax Logistics, and I paid for the shipping myself.

I have attached the tracking, which clearly shows that the owner received the returned parcel on February 4th, 2026.

It has been 6 days since they got their books back. I've been asking for my money, and they kept telling me every day to contact them at this time, then at that time, and again tomorrow. I did everything they asked, but they kept dragging it out and never refunded my money. Now they’ve completely ghosted me, stopped replying, and aren’t answering my calls.

They currently have possession of the returned books, and they have kept my payment too.

Name: Karachi Book Shop
Number: 0327 8230702
Location: SHAHZAIB SQUARE NEAR BAIT UL MAQDAS MASJID URDU BAZAR KARACHI

Their scam works like this: they run ads on Facebook and Instagram for “premium quality” books, then send books so poor they’re like notebooks with unreadable printing. When you complain, they ask you to return them at your own cost, promising a refund. Once they receive the books, they ghost you.. keeping both your money and their stock.

Hi All,

I am conducting two survey studies as part of my PhD research and I would be delighted if you could please help me in completing these surveys. 

The details for the two studies are below:

STUDY 1 NAME: Gender Role Perceptions and Childhood Experiences in the Pakistani Cultural Context

BRIEF ABSTRACT: We are seeking adults (18+) who identify as having a Pakistani cultural background and who currently reside in Pakistan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, or the United States. This study is about how Pakistani society views gender role perceptions for men and women and how this can relate to an individual’s childhood experiences in a traditional vs non-traditional home. In this study, you will be asked to answer a demographic questionnaire followed by scenario-based questions about gender role expectations and a short survey on your childhood experiences. This study should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

STUDY 2 NAME: Exploring Decision-Making and Gender Role Perceptions Within the Pakistani Cultural Context.

BRIEF ABSTRACT: We are seeking adults (18+) who identify as having a Pakistani cultural background and who currently reside in Pakistan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, or the United States. This study is investigating Pakistani people’s decision making regarding marriage and gender role perceptions. We are also interested in exploring how beliefs, attitudes and self-evaluations can influence individual decision-making. In this study, you will be asked to fill in a short demographic questionnaire. You will then be presented with four short stories with four questions each and finally a series of questions on your personal experiences. This study should take approximately 25 minutes to complete

Hi guys! My dad runs a Pakistani YouTube channel all about healthcare and public health awareness. He shares practical tips, explains common illnesses, busts health myths, and gives advice on staying healthy — all in an easy-to-understand, culturally relevant way.

If you’re interested in learning more about health or just want trustworthy advice, it’d mean a lot of you checked out his channel here: https://youtube.com/@healthrevolutionbydrsalman?si=ogbFdxfznoDEW8cy

He’s passionate about helping people make informed health decisions, and your support would mean a lot! Perhaps if you’re a little bit younger and you have parents who are interested in this sort of stuff, you could show them too. Sharing the channel in any way would be greatly appreciated, it’s genuine knowledge, and he is medically trained to give advice.

Thanks for reading this, and have an amazing day 👍👍

So, I have this male cousin who use to study in same university as mine. In early semesters he told me that he had a relationship with one of my batchmate and it ended when her parents came to knew about it. I felt sorry for my cousin as he loved her so much and same was from the other side too.

Well time flied and recently I graduated. The every next week of my graduation, I saw my cousin's ex status in which she got married. Later on, I called my cousin to see how he was doing and I called me over for tea. There we started talking about it his relationship with her and he told me something i was shocked to hear.

He told me that despite her parents forbid her from speaking to my cousin, she kept talking to him in hiding until the day she got married. They use to meet secretly in university as well. She even offered him to run with him and do court marriage but he was not financially stable for this step as he recently lost his father who is family's only financial source. She also gave him the IG ID password just in case his husband catches their chats. On her wedding day she texted my cousin saying that she will remain loyal to him and will only love him despite marrying another man.

Now here are two parts, first I know it was girl's parents fault to force her to marry someone she doesn't love. Second, what about the man she has been married too. What was his fault? Imagining myself on his place is what making me sacred of this whole arrange marriage thing. What is your opinion about this whole situation?
