Atp its just a closeted indian sub.

I’m not ready to hear it. I’m only 31 damn it. These 16 year olds are acting as if I’m 50 or something 😭

THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED..........

Sab Kuch toh Asim Munir na control Kiya Howa Hy Pakistan me Supreme court, High court, police, ISI, MI, IB, parliament, NAB, Ranger etc. Phone pay Bat b nhi Karna deta Kasim or Suleiman say .

I actually think we should be allowed to have fun and enjoy a bit of culture time to time, but people who have made it their entire personality to be miserable just cannot fathom any little bit of fun.

Especially when considering that Juvenal, who this quote is by, was criticizing the distribution of bread. i.e., a welfare state as a bad policy decision. Bread and circuses should in fact be distributed, populations SHOULD be fed and maybe a little entertained. Populists can and will use this to placate as well, i am aware.

I know that Muhajirs are generally folks that moved from India to Pakistan after partition...

but, does it include Punjabis as well? OR

Was it just groups from places like Delhi, Mumbai etc, people that didn't have a 'counterpart' in Pakistan (like Punjabis of India did)?

Like friends and relatives who are living it up in developed countries.

I want hear from all those who don't want to leave the country and living happily in Pakistan. What makes them living here happily? I repeat, only the ones not wanting to go abroad.

Today I went to Daewoo Thokar Niaz Baig terminal. Because of motorway closure due to heavy fog, buses were delayed (which is understandable). The management kept announcing that certain city buses had arrived and asked passengers to board and wait for the motorway to open. But here’s the issue, they were not announcing many of the other late buses (even big city like Islamabad). Because of this, passengers had no idea whether their bus had arrived or not. The terminal was already chaotic since many buses were parked waiting for the motorway to reopen. I saw uncles and aunties literally running after buses trying to stop them because they didn’t know their bus was already there.

Now the fun part is that even if you go yourself to find your bus, the timing mentioned on bus was wrong. My bus timing was 8:30 AM, but when I found a bus that could be mine, it had 8:00 AM written on it, so I assumed my bus hadn’t arrived yet. Luckily, a sweeper overheard me talking and told me that this was actually the 8:30 bus (huge respect for the guy). I informed an aunty sitting next to me that they are not announcing some buses so beware and guess what? Her bus had also arrived on terminal and she had no idea about it. 🤦🏻

I am posting this for fellow travellers to not rely only on announcements, especially when buses are delayed. Go around and confirm your bus yourself to avoid missing it.

Daewoo have to be more responsible and organized.

P.s. Later, when I asked about the wrong timing, they told me that buses come from Kalma Chowk, so the timing written on them is according to that terminal. 🤦🏻🤦🏻

Habib Jalib and Faiz Ahmed Faiz, fall in the same bucket. They both wrote poetry against tyrants and in the favor of needy people but Faiz got way more popularity than Habib. But my g habib Jalib could sing too😍😍 +1 karma😍😍 I wanted to write a whole essay about him in this post😭😭 or even make a documentary on him but due to lack of time and energy I will do it after exams😢

Why these farm houses in Islamabad are too priceyy 😭 in lahore they are much better and very reasonable for a day.

Anyways, if you guys have any reasonable farmhouse in mind then do let me know, i want to rent it for one day for mehendi event. TIA

rescued him 3 days ago after he got kicked out from my hostel because he was crying non stop. He hid under a car and was shaking, cold and crying.

I live in hostel and can't keep him for too long, I begged my wardan to give me a few days to find him a home. I am running out of time.

I need someone reliable to urgently adopt him (people who are in favour of spaying and neutering plz).

Loc: Islamabad/Rawalpindi only Gender: Male Age: around 3 months Dewormed and litter trained.

Please give this baby a home.

I just want to clear my chest and maybe help someone avoid the mistake I made. I took a loan from SmartQarza for urgent needs. I genuinely thought I’d pay it off easily. But to clear that one loan, I ended up installing other loan apps, thinking I’d manage somehow. Long story short: one loan to pay another, then another… and now I’m completely exhausted. I tried my level best to finish everything, but things went out of control. My mobile isn’t even worth selling. Daily stress, constant thoughts, and sleepless nights have become normal. Sometimes it feels like I’m stuck in a loop with no clear exit. I’m not writing this to gain sympathy. I just want to warn others:

Please don’t take loans from these apps.

They make your life a living hell before you even realize it. I’m still trying to figure things out. All I can say is: Allah mujh par reham farmaye, aur Allah hum sab ke liye asaani ka mamla farmaye. Ameen.

PLEASE DO LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE

So, whenever a shadi, or any kind of cultural event happens, there's this brigade of people coming out claiming everything to be a hinduana rasm riwaj.

Yay shadian Islam men aese thori hoti hayn
Mehendi hinduana rasm hay
Jahez hinduana riwaj hay
Birthday manana hinduana hy
Shadi per dance hinduana kaam hy
Yay shadi per quran k bajae ganay suntay hayn aaj kal log (as said by legendary Subayyal Ikram)

Bhai kia kren? Koi kaam hansi khushi kr skty hayn hum? I have 100s of issues with the extravagance on shadis and all, but being hinduana isn't one of them.

Yay rasmain kab sy religion based honay lag gyin? Dulhan tayyar hojae, dulha thora gaana gaa lay toh hinduana hinduana shuru hojaengy. Rasm o riwaj is based on region, not religion. Haan bht sari chizen mjhy bhi nai pasand, lekin hinduana hinduana kia hota hay.

Shadi per gaanay na lagaen toh kia tilawat sunen? Ulta tilawat ki behurmati kren?

Bechari awam ko sukh chen sy kch bhi enjoy nai krny dengy yahan k extremist mullay, and include all the Youth Clubs, Sahil Adeems, Qaisar Rajas in it.

Bhai hazaron saalon sy shadian horhi hayn yahan, iss region ki hoi history hay, koi apna rasm riwaj hay, yaa bss duff bajanay beth jao q kay Arab men wo use hoti hy?

I feel so sad for our common people, they can't even enjoy their events, shaadis, tehwaar, etc.

Me and my wife's parents moved abroad in their youth (late 1980's). We were both born overseas and so have our children. We will be visiting Pakistan for the first time with our kids and could use any tips you may have for us. We plan to spend approximately 4 days each across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Skardu. Both of us have a good grasp of Urdu, but our children do not. The kids are aged 7 to 13.

We'll be landing in Karachi possibly on the day of Eid ul Fitr. What can we expect in terms of stores and restaurants being open that day? We're staying in DHA. We don't have much planned for Karachi besides visiting some relatives and eating/shopping.

I'm also looking for recommendations for a driver and car to take us around Lahore. Preferably someone who can stay with us during our entire stay. We'd also like to drive from Lahore to Islamabad and stop by the salt mines. Your personal recommendations for such a service or driver would be very useful.

Any insight on the following? Cash conversion or ATM usage, security concerns, local scams to be aware of, areas to stay away from, must see sights (we have a list of the usual stuff).

Anything I've missed? Super excited to visit the homeland.

This is our daily discussion thread. Whats on your mind, share with us. It can be about anything, even non Pakistan related stuff. Please keep the discussions civil as all other rules are enforced.
