Hello I am 21M residing in Karachi and I'm not even sure why I'm writing this, maybe to get a better perspective of someone older and mature because I do not have access to anyone as such outside of my family, which happens to be the problem.
Bit of context before you read: I'm about to start my fifth semester and I'm earning very very little I just have one tuition kid and because of that my situation is really fucked up. Not having any elder siblings or a mentor has made things worse, I really don't have any trusted adult.
My parents have always provided the basics, they really did a lot for me when I was a kid (even paying my university tuition rn) but there were always signs of toxicity and narcissism. I was this golden kid (mujhe tab bhi maar parti thi but nevertheless they weren't ashamed of me) and as I approach my 20s I've realized its getting very toxic and exhausting living here.
Firstly, they have problems with my appearance. I've had curly hair for a long time but I never really understood how to manage it and they always appeared coarse and I kept them really short, it looked bad on me. They were fine with that but when I grew them out (ear length) I realized they look much better and the curls I have now are more defined. My parents do not like it and abuse me over it telling me to cut them every other day, from slurs to calling me all sorts of names and how I am a disgrace to even my father saying he's embarrassed of me and hates seeing my face and log kya sochenge. When I tell them people like it and I've also gotten confident because of it I get to hear I care more about others approval than theirs. Recently, it was getting so bad I did shorten it from the back and ears like trimming but they still weren't satisfied. Why should I change my own appearance and its something so trivial.
One time they told me how if anyone says I look good looking they say it out of pity and they probably detest you. That totally crushed me inside.
They also have problems regarding how I dress and how often I go out, which by the way is from my own earned money, not talking about pocket money. I do not like asking them for money because of strained relations and because of my own financial issues I sometimes I have to compromise like I buy thrifted clothes instead and honestly I dont minf but uss mein bhi I get to hear a lot of weird stuff and I get to hear very bad insults. One day I returned home wearing a jacket and a tanktop (wasn't see through) and my dad beat the shit out of me. I also don't like being at home so I use university as an escape and I just stay late there w my friends sometimes even when I don't have classes and when I start doing too much they pester a lot ke ghar kab aoge and itni dafa kyu ja rahe ho. My daadi especially says a lot how I'm close to my friends and she says too ke sab tumhare jese honge in a derogatory way and that they'll leave you.
Thirdly, there's a religious element present. My family even though Muslim, belong to this subsect that's well really weird to me and is a whole other can of worms, and they're pretty religious especially my mother and her side. I don't think I was ever properly introduced to Islam, everything felt very indoctrinated and because I think the whole sectarianism thing is a fucking circus. I've made it clear that I don't want to follow the lifestyle, culture, and beliefs of this particular subset, I'll just follow Islam and not this. My mother gets very emotionally outrageous and hits me and starts crying. One time I went for jummah at a normal sunni mosque and my mother lost her shit. My father just says you have to follow us till ure here baad mein ja ke do whatever. If you suggest to me that fake it till u make it I've been doing that for so long and the sects imposed lifestyle upon me contradicts with what I want to have i.e its frowned upon to not have short hair which explains my first point better perhaps.
Lastly, which I think is the most taxing thing and probably a culmination of everything mentioned. Its the fucking emotional blackmail. I'm made out to be the wrong person here and that Allah will curse me and im ungrateful and they've targeted my looks, style, personality, insecurities, every single thing to make someone broken. When I tell them I'll leave they keep screaming ke Allah tumhe zor se zameen pe phekega wapis. My mother ends up crying everyone starts yelling, its all chaos. Mein ne aap se maanga nhi tha ke mujhe iss duniya mein le ke aaye and the least you could do is provide which yes you may have done that financially but you failed emotionally and being parents I don't think you have the right to control these things especially something so trivial. Why the hell would I have a reason to stay. The way they talk about me as if mein koi harasser ya druggie hu.
Our beliefs don't match, the way we see the world it doesn't match. Its a ticking time bomb and my only option is to move out but the whole process feels daunting, I'm not financially stable in the slightest and the whole job market scares me too.
I tried to convey what I felt and I apologize if it sounds too much of a rant or a rumble but what I'm asking for is I need genuine advice over this. If any parents are reading this, am I actually in the wrong here ? What should be my next step. I'm good with tutoring subjects I can teach O-level maths and I'm also good with content writing and graphic design, I've even had professional experience with the former and have a portfolio both writing and design. I sincerely ask anyone if they can to help me out here with a job or just give me advice and some clarity. I have been in mental and emotional turmoil for so long, mujhe yaad nhi when i felt sukoon for the last time.

Hello everyone,
I'm planning to apply for the BS Accounting & Finance program at KSBL and would really appreciate some honest feedback. Since the first undergraduate batch has recently graduated, does anyone know how the graduates are doing? Have they secured good jobs, internships, or placements? How is the program in terms of academics, faculty, and overall learning experience? I'd also like to know how KSBL is perceived in the job market. Would you consider it one of the top business universities in Karachi after IBA? Is the university well-recognized by employers, and would you recommend it for someone pursuing a career in accounting and finance? I'd be grateful to hear from current students, alumni, or anyone who has firsthand knowledge of the program.
Thank you!

Hello I’m soon planning to get married inshaAllah and just like other girls I also want to have a lavish wedding and pretty bridal dresses but the inflation and empty pockets are not allowing me to.
I want to look for a bridal dress no more than 50k, it doesn’t have to be heavy. Something that can still look good as a bridal dress but also could be worn later.
Shops in Karachi? Or online, Both are fine.
.
I think the weddings in our country even though are very beautiful but the money goes into stuff that doesn’t hold any great value in a long term.

AOA. I had bought an electronic recently and it arrived broken. I sent it back for warranty claim purposes and i got blocked by the seller after they received it. I myself am based in Lahore and have no relatives in karachi who can go on my behalf.
Is there anything i can do or did i just get scammed cleanly?

So, I came to know there is challan pending for no parking which is Rs. 10000 but if I pay with in 14 days then it is Rs. 5000. Then penalties keep increasing if not paid on time and final penalty is confiscation of CNIC if not paid with in 4 months.
My question is how would you know there is challan if you don't receive any SMS or by post? Doesn't make any sense.

r/karachi • u/talal_rockford • 1d ago
I'm gonna preface this by stating that I mean no offense to anybody whatsoever - this is strictly a personal anecdote and opinion! You can call me out if it bothers you anyways.
I wrote this post as a comment reply to someone asking about the call center/ibex/sales/night job market being a "great" career plan:
"why does that (job at ibex, then working ones way up to Tribe Consulting or US Mobile) sound like a good plan? you're looking at a job with negligible work/life balance, and a future plan that reeks of "shortcut".
I'm not trying to look down on the sales/call center industry, I've been a part of it for many years (before IBA happened) myself, but I know for a cold hard fact that it is not a good life.
you belong to the night, and daylight becomes a weekend activity. you won't see your friends, your family will spend days waiting for the weekend to arrive just to sit down and have dinner with you, and (if all of the above wasn't enough) you'll be sleep deprived ALL the time.
most of all, the worst thing about it is that most times, it doesn't have any "barkat". you'll earn thrice as much as other people your age, gaari bhi hogi and everything, but will be half as happy if not worse.
I'm not saying people aren't able to make it work, sure some people may genuinely find happiness in this sort of thing but that's perhaps one of the rarest things I've ever seen in this industry.
so my advice to all my younger family and friends is to avoid this night job wali industry unless you're forced into a situation where your economic conditions demand the quick cash. and ESPECIALLY don't do it because you wanna save up for a stupid YBR, or a K20 swapped Charade or a marinda bottle looking ahh non-PTA iPhone 17 Pro Max. MATERIAL THINGS do not matter.
Focus on your education, Wallahi, please! It's very doable! I'm an average Karachi guy from Jahangir Road, Karachi, and my father earned a sub-six-figure salary. even with that economic background, I am alhumduLillah an IBA, Karachi 2025 graduate with a fully funded need-based program that paid for my fees, and I got a mid-to-low 6-figure job now. I passed my intermediate with a basic 63%, (saying that cuz) if you think grades matter - THEY DON'T. It is possible if you put your back into it, and always have faith in Allah!
DMs are always open if I can offer any help in your endeavours for your higher education or the job market or any other questions around these things. I wanna give back to the community as they invested in me.
God Bless, and Love always.
Assalamu Alaikum."

I built a live safety map for Karachi, colored by time of day
Wanted to solve a problem I had my whole life: knowing whether a route home at 11pm is fine or genuinely stupid. So I built Karachi Watch, a map where every ~900m zone gets a 0–10 safety score that changes with the hour and day. Saddar at 3pm is not Saddar at 3am, and the map reflects that.
