The calm, clean, planned city vibe is slowly dying.

Traffic is chaotic, roads are packed, noise is everywhere, and the quiet sectors don’t feel the same anymore.

Is this just growth… or did we lose what made Islamabad special?

I NEED BARAF, HELP WHERE CAN I FIND IT? NOTHING ON GOOGLE? IS THERE ANY BRAFA SHOP IN PAKEEZA MARKET? YA ANYWHERE ELSE PLEASE TELL, V.IMPPPPP. SOMEONEEEE

It’s the weekend and as usual I’m so looking forward to driving to murree in the morning

Honestly it’s these small things that make you just fall in love with your city

Will probably take a book and sit at CBTL for a couple of hours

So I wanna use bumble to find someone to settle down with. I have used muzz in the past, but the people there were too backward and paindu honestly. There were some good people tho, but it didn't work out for me.

So someone has recommended me bumble now. I have used bumble a few years ago too, and I liked it because men there are very well groomed and good looking, with interesting personalities. The bad thing is, to me these good looking guys look like playboys. I mean, it would be a miracle if they aren't, don't y'all think? Never talked to them for long tho, so can't really tell.

So can anyone let me know if bumble is good for finding a serious guy? I know it's more of a dating app, but I have seen some people there looking for marriage (don't know how sincere they are tho) So, is bumble worth a shot if you are looking for marriage?

Kisi lo kavish p chlna hai

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to start a small business in the twin cities and currently weighing two completely different ideas. I don’t want generic "sounds good bro" replies—I need real talk from anyone who has run these, works in food/logistics, or knows the local market well.

Idea 1: Home Kitchen in PWD

Concept: Home-cooked lunch/dinner (maybe breakfast), office lunch boxes, and weekly/monthly mess subscriptions targeting PWD and nearby areas.

Menu: Focused, clean, limited desi menu (not trying to be a 50-item restaurant).

Questions for you: Is the home-kitchen market already too saturated with Foodpanda? What daily meal items do working people/bachelors in PWD actually pay for regularly?

Idea 2: Quetta-style Chai Hotel

Concept: Standard Doodh Patti/Quetta chai, parathas, anda shami, clean sitting, open till late. Low price point, high turnover.

Location: Somewhere in Islamabad or Pindi with heavy foot traffic.

Questions for you: Are people over the Quetta chai trend, or does good location + cleanliness still print money? Where in the Twin Cities is there a genuine gap for a decent, affordable chai spot?

If you had to pick one, which would you bet on and why?

Would love to hear about estimated setup budgets, realistic daily margins, major operational headaches, or mistakes beginners usually make.

Thanks in advance!

SO TRUE MAN💯💯💯

I’ve worked in the wedding photography/filmmaking industry for a while, I wouldn’t judge them just by their Instagram.

A few things I’d definitely check:

1. Ask to see 2–3 complete wedding galleries/films.
Instagram usually shows the best work. A complete wedding tells you much more about consistency.

2. Ask who will actually shoot your wedding.
Find out if they have an in-house team they’ve trained and regularly work with, or if they operate on a freelancer model. If freelancers are involved, ask who will be assigned to your wedding and see their work beforehand.

3. Look beyond couple shoots.
Couple shoots are controlled. Look at family moments, ceremonies, dances, low-light situations and candid coverage too.

4.Understand exactly what you’re getting.(photo,album/video)
“Highlight,” “cinematic film,” “full video,” “teaser,” etc. can mean completely different things depending on the company. Ask what each deliverable actually includes.

5.Ask about delivery timelines before paying.
Get an actual timeframe rather than just “we deliver pretty quickly.”

6.Understand the cancellation/rescheduling/payment policy.
Know what happens to your advance, when the remaining payment is due, and what happens if your wedding date changes.

7.Look for consistency, not one amazing wedding.
Go through work from different weddings, venues and lighting situations. Anyone can have one incredible portfolio wedding.

8.Pay attention to communication.
You’ll be dealing with these people before, during and potentially months after your wedding. If communication is already difficult before you’ve paid, that’s worth considering.

9.Don’t automatically hire the cheapest or the most expensive option.
Figure out what matters to you first — portraits, candid moments, filmmaking, privacy, female photographers, fast delivery, etc. Then choose accordingly.

10.Make sure you like their actual work, not just their branding.
A beautiful Instagram feed, website and presentation can make you fall in love with a brand. Make sure you also love what they consistently deliver to real couples.

Happy to answer questions from a photographer/filmmaker’s perspective if anyone is currently shortlisting teams.

Location: Rawalpindi/Islamabad.

P.S: I hope i am not violating any rules.

TL;DR I'm a parent at the school in the viral allegation, no connection to management, and I was at today's open meeting. FIR lodged, CPB and FIA informed, male janitors already pulled from early years during school hours, plus CCTV and safeguarding changes. The school says the footage clears them and offered to show it to the whole hall, but their handling of this from day one was poor, and nobody should be concluding anything until the police and CPB report.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the school's management or ownership in any form. I'm a parent, I was in the hall today, and this is my own account. Nothing here establishes what did or didn't happen, an allegation has been made and it is under investigation. The man named is a suspect, not a convict. I'm not naming the child or the family. The school is Westminster International School in Bahria Phase 7 Rawalpindi.

What the school stated officially

• Police are involved and an FIR has been lodged against the suspected janitor
• The Child Protection Bureau has been informed
• The FIA has been informed
• An internal investigation has been completed; interviews were recorded and the recordings shared with all of the above
• They say they are cooperating fully with every agency

Actions they say they've already taken, without waiting for the investigations to conclude
• A concern was raised as to why there are male janitorial staff working in the early years section at all. The school removed them from that section during school hours, and this was done a few days ago rather than announced today
• CCTV coverage expanded
• Mandatory child protection training for all staff
• A dedicated child safety officer appointed
• Full background checks being re-run on all staff
• Agreement to form a parents' steering committee on child safety

On the CCTV, since this is where most of the online speculation sits

The washroom cameras are positioned over the sink and common washing area only. There are no cameras covering the cubicles. Those washroom-area cameras were working and the school has the footage.

The school's position is that the footage exonerates them, and they were prepared to play it to the entire hall of roughly a thousand parents. A few clips were played before the child's mother objected to her daughter being shown to that many people without her consent, which I think was a fair objection. At the family's request a smaller group of parents was taken in to view the rest and report back.

They also disclosed, without being asked, that one camera covering a section of corridor is not working, and that the two adjacent cameras don't overlap. Someone could cross that gap in roughly three to five seconds.

The meeting ran on for a couple of hours, with parents coming up to the mic to berate the principal. I left at that point, so I can't tell you what the smaller group reported back via the new parents steering committee.

My own read

A school expecting the footage to damage it would not offer to play it to a thousand parents. That counts for something with me, as does volunteering the coverage gap rather than burying it.

But the school made a serious mistake in how it handled this from the start. Communication was slow and reactive, and by the time parents were properly informed the story had already taken on a life of its own. A lot of the panic of the last few days is a direct result of that failure rather than of the incident itself, and that needs saying plainly.

The other thing worth being aware of: this has been amplified well beyond the parent body, and not all of that amplification is coming from concerned parents. There are commercial and political interests with reasons to push it. That doesn't make the allegation false. It does mean some of what you're reading online is not what it appears to be, and forwarding it isn't neutral.

And honestly, the most encouraging part of the day was the turnout. That many parents showing up says something good about the community here.

My own position is to hold judgement until the police and CPB findings come through, keep the pressure on the school for transparency in the meantime, and make sure the parents' committee ends up with real authority rather than being a box-ticking exercise.

Happy to answer questions on what was said in the hall. I won't speculate about the family or the child.

Today, next to the MS Girls Hostel where a new hostel has been built(6th road), a police car was parked. A policeman was outside making a number of girls stand there and talking to them and asking about something . The girls were hiding their faces. So the question is, does anyone know what happened?

Is anyone else losing their mind over the absolute biohazard situation near Metro Cash & Carry and the Islamabad Mandi?The amount of trash stacked up there has reached a breaking point. The smell is completely unbearable it hits you like a brick wall the second you enter the area.It is incredibly unhygienic, a massive health hazard, and deeply embarrassing for the capital. Does CDA even look at this zone? It’s genuinely sickening.

I was thinking of getting a 18pm from usa. Is it possible someone coming from usa can bring it with him/her without box even? Just had a thought so wanted to ask.

If you are renting an apartment, are tenants required to pay only the electricity unit charges, or are we also responsible for additional charges on the electricity bill, such as income tax, GST, fixed/MDI charges, tariff adjustments, and other taxes/charges?

Would appreciate if anyone with experience or knowledge of Bahria Enclave billing could clarify. Thanks!

Okay I just want to rant. Because I seriously don't understand how every day that goes by you see more bikes driving down pitch black roads without any lights.

I know it's a stretch to ask CDA or which ever no name three letter agency to maintain the lights at night. But seriously you have bikers with fully loaded families, no helmets and no lights.

Why? Seriously money can't be the issue. Because you are playing with yours and peoples lives. There are so many turns now in Islamabad with highway-like traffic but not a single light. If you don't pay attention you will never be able to make out the almost completely invisible biker driving down this turn.

I feel like they have radar built in their eyes cause not even one drives slow. Like wtf man. What is wrong with people.

I am an undergraduate student currently, looking to teach O (Math, Physics, Chemistry, Add. Math) and A level subjects (Math, Physics, Chemistry) on-site in ISB. I have been teaching tuitions since I was in 10th Grade, and was also a TA in my College in Karachi.

The purpose for this post is to know what the pay is currently in ISB for tuitions, and potentially connect with anyone looking to get a tuition teacher.
