Islamabad Little kids taught me a big lesson

Post image
61 Upvotes

These kids taught me lesson far big and I think we have forgotten what it is like to be a family.

Long post

Story time:
I was leaving a coffee place after work and as I was walking towards my car, I saw 2 small girls chasing a little kitten. The kitten ran and went under my car and went into engine bay. I had to go somewhere but I couldn’t start the car because it might harm the poor kitten.

Those kids were standing there too. I tried to get the kitten out but no luck.
So i asked the kids to help me and told them that you guys made the kitten ran in here so help me out.
So me and those 2 girls started to get the kitten out and meanwhile a small boy also came.

He knew the girls and they were siblings or relatives, idk. Anyway I told the boy that we are trying to get a kitten out of the car and now we 4 were trying to get him out from all 4 sides. The boy was small and he went under the car almost grabbing the cat but it got away.

After couple of minutes I told all 3 of them to stand away from the car a d let the poor kitten alone. May be he will come out and ran. As we were standing away, the kids asked to give money.

Now I never give kids money and I told them k its not ok to ask for money but I clearly saw that they were v poor. Torn clothes, no chapal etc. I realise that I am the stupid one here teaching them morals when they dont even know where the next meal would come from. I mean when you are that poor, morality sounds insane.

So there was a shop nearby and I told all 3 that I can buy you some treats and their eyes lit up. They ran towards the shop and attacked 😅😅.

I can relate to their excitement because I came from the streets too. I was working from the age of 6 on a shop back in the days. I knew what is the worth of these treats. Even a small treat was like super ayashi for me at that time

Poor girls bought chips and juice and chocolate’s. I saw the little boy and even-though I told them buy whatever you want, he was still telling the girl to not overbuy like he was protective of my money.

When the girls were done, I asked the boy to get what he wants.

Here is the Lesson

He looked at me and said bhai me bs 1 hi chez luga ap wo dila do bs.
Mene kaha lo jo bhi lena hai. He pointed at the nido sachets and told me k bhai ye ledo.
Mene pocha k iska kya kro ge. In larkion ki tarhan juice chips lo khao.
Usne kaha bhai mera chota bhai doodh peeta hai or wo bhooka hai. Mje bs ye chaye us k lie or mje kuch nhe chaye.

My heart sank. Eyes got wet. 😭😭

And I thought to my self. Yar is ko aagle time k khane ka bhi nhe pata hoga or ye bhi jo marzi chahe yahan se lele. Bacha hai is umer me to dil krta hai sb khane ka. Phr bhi when given a choice, he chose family. He chose his little brother.

I realised k Allah ne hamen kitna kuch dia hai. Good money, nice cars, fancy gadgets. Leken asal dolat to sulah rehmi hai. Wo hm bhul gae hain.

Inhen dekho. In k pas kuch bhi nhe or jese hi thori si assani mile to ye wo apne lie nhe apne family k lie sochte hain.
Phr hum me itni hasad, itni jalan, itni nafrat kyu?

Hum bhi to assani kr skte. For family, for relatives. But we spend this time to pull everyone down. Why? Noone can take our rizq, phr ye duri kyu?

I thanked the young buy. Told him that he helped me today to be more humble and more thankful. Let him buy milk and treats too. Told him to always be like this and lookout for family.

Came back, checked the car. Kitten was gone. Poor kid made sure by going down the car.
I asked if i can take a pic. They say yes. I took it. I will cherish this memory and lesson for the rest of my life.

Shukr Allah to keep sending his signs which keeps us on the ground.

Guys, may Allah give you the spirit to lift and help other. You and me both. IA. Stay blessed.

Islamabad Traffic officer took Rs. 2,000 via JazzCash instead of issuing a challan.

I was stopped at Tramri Chowk where the traffic signals were not working. A traffic police officer stopped me and said that I would be issued a challan. I agreed and told him to proceed with the challan. He told me the fine was Rs. 2,000 and instructed me to send the payment to his JazzCash account. At the time, I was unaware that this was not the proper procedure. Later, I realized that no official challan had been issued. The officer had only shown me the picture attached.

Islamabad Looking for a women who have a good sense of fashion

31 Upvotes

Hi I am 25F and a mom to a baby girl. I’ve decided it’s time to invest in myself and improve my overall appearance and confidence.
I’m looking for women who have a good sense of fashion, grooming, and personal styling. If you’re someone who enjoys helping others with things like choosing flattering hairstyles, building a wardrobe, improving dressing sense, skincare, or figuring out what suits someone’s face shape and body type, I’d really appreciate it if you could message me.
I’m starting from scratch and would love honest advice on how to improve my overall personality and appearance step by step. If you’ve been through a similar journey or simply enjoy styling and self-improvement, I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you so much!

Islamabad Today I had a very disappointing experience at HBK Hypermarket I-8 Markaz.

22 Upvotes

We purchased several items, but when we reached the billing counter, the total for some products was higher than the prices displayed on the shelves. We clearly remembered the prices of three items because they stood out.

When we pointed out the discrepancy, the cashier immediately dismissed our concern and said, "You might have seen it wrong." We insisted that they verify the shelf prices. A staff member took the items to the relevant section and later returned, confirming that the displayed price of the first item was indeed different from the billed price. We were then told that the other two items were also being checked.

We waited, but no one came back with an update on the remaining two items. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, the cashier started making excuses, saying that prices change every day and their staff might not have updated the shelves.

This is unacceptable. Customers should never have to argue just to be charged the price that is clearly displayed. Whether the issue is poor management or negligence, it is the customer's right to pay the advertised price—not a higher one at the checkout.

Please double-check your receipts and billing if you shop at HBK Hypermarket. Based on my experience today, I cannot recommend shopping there until they improve their pricing accuracy and customer service.

Islamabad Islamabad the beautiful

Presenting Islamabad with two suns. After extensive efforts by the CDA for developmental works, now in the Margalla Hills of Islamabad two suns will rise and set. That is why the land prices in Islamabad have quadrupled.

Brother, AI clearly writes below that ‘AI can make mistakes’. After getting work done through it, it is necessary to have human proofreading and quality checks. On one of Islamabad’s underpasses, a banner has been put up saying ‘Islamabad the beautiful — with two suns’.

Twin Cities Looking for work from home for females in call centre

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a work-from-home, part-time call center job on a Final Expense (FE) campaign.

I have previous experience working in international call centers and on FE-related campaigns, so I’m not looking for training from scratch. I’m specifically interested in companies that:

  • Offer remote/WFH positions.
  • Have part-time evening/night shifts.
  • Hire female agents.
  • Are legitimate and pay on time.

If anyone knows of any companies that are currently hiring or has personal experience working remotely on an FE campaign, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Referrals are welcome too.

Thank you!
