And maybe in Dhurandhar 4 they might label Sonam Wangchuk as a Pakistani agent

Whatever is the beef in between India and Pakistan on normal casual day, I have major respect for Indians coming out to protest. From my naive humble knowledge, to social medial figures to celebrities joining the movement. It has the potential to overthrow the egoistic Modi raj. The coverage of the protests has been phenomenal by the YouTubers like Samdish and some more.

Why cannot we uphold the government responsible? After Nepal, Bangladesh and now India, why Pakistan (with all the love and patriotism I have for my land) why cannot we bother enough about our rights and our people?

It’s giving me goosebumps to see a massive unity coming out from India despite of WHATEVER issues they have, the power of youth and resistance is always an act of courage and higher morality to exist fairly.

I cannot help but wonder when we will be united? When we will actual witness in Iqbal Bano’s word

‘سب تاج گرائیں جائیں گئے،
سپ تخت اُچھالے جاہئں گئے

آخر ہم کب دِیکھئں گے؟،

Long live resistence, from Palestine, Bangladesh to India and hopefully Pakistan ✨

I live in an area with two Deobandi mosques, one Barelvi mosque, a Shia mosque, an Imambargah, and even an Ahmadi mosque. There's also a church not far away.

Guess which ones I barely notice?

The Ahmadi one doesn't blast loudspeakers across the neighborhood. The church doesn't either. They somehow manage to exist without making their presence everyone's problem. While the others, five times a day take turns with loudspeakers. One starts, then another, then another. I mean half of the neighborhood has already heard the first one, but apparently hearing it four more times is essential.

They dont seem to care that people might be sleeping after a night shift, working from home, on an important call, studying for exams, or trying to get a baby to sleep. Is our religion supposed to be rehmat or zehmat?

The part I don't understand is... why?

I mean we all carry smartphones and got prayer time apps too. The original purpose of the adhan was to inform people that it's time to pray and technology already does that for us and even better and more accurately.

It gets even worse in Ramadan and near other religious rituals when it isn't just the adhan anymore. Amplified mullah speeches, naats, announcements, and recitations that can go on for long periods.

If your neighbor blasted wedding speeches or music through loudspeakers every day, everyone would call it noise pollution. But if it's a mosque, we treat the same question as an insult to the religion itself.

Genuine question: if tomorrow every mosque switched to indoor speakers while everyone still got prayer reminders on their phones, would anyone actually pray less?

Bought this from a grocery store today and man this is amazing. Chocolate is very premium quality and it tastes even better than magnum. Made from real dairy products too. I hope hico expands their product line and makes more variations of this like magnum does in other countries.

Note in female academy bathroom..lowk sucks.

To use words like ghandagi for periods like they aren't natural and the classes are for long hours are we supposed to put used pads in our bags instead of the dustbin in the bathroom?

There are literally no facilities for women in Pakistan. I still remember when we visited to balochistan a few years ago my aunt literally peed her pants! Because she couldn't find a bathroom. Plus we were far from malls and on the way home.

Men pee on roads, what do women do?

Plus we have other problems too which are not talked about cuz it's taboo.

​I am writing this from my phone, sitting in complete darkness in my house. My electricity was just cut off because I couldn't pay the bill. I feel like I have hit absolute rock bottom, and the weight of it is crushing me to the point where I don't know how to survive another day.

​I am 37 years old. For 13 years, I gave my blood, sweat, and youth to the broadcast media industry. Until recently, I was working as a creative copywriter for a major national TV network. A month ago, I was abruptly let go. Today was my final day clearing out my desk, and it ended with a humiliation that completely broke whatever was left of me. Someone kindly recommended me to management for retention, but the COO of the network bluntly replied, "I just don't like this guy's face, so don't give him another chance."

​Hearing that your 13 years of dedication, your skills, and your entire career mean absolutely nothing because someone "doesn't like your face"... it shattered my soul.

​I tried to stay strong. I had a survival plan. I was going to move back to my native village to cut costs and transition fully into freelance video production. I had two clients lined up: one paying me per long-form video, and another who agreed just five days ago to pay me a modest monthly retainer to produce daily news updates.

​Today, both of them backed out. One said his business wasn't doing well; the other simply texted that he couldn't proceed right now. In a matter of hours, every single door closed on me.

​I came home utterly defeated, hoping to at least turn on my PC to make a short video for my own small geopolitical YouTube channel—just to keep my sanity intact. That's when I found out the power was gone.

​I have hundreds of thousands in debt hanging over my head. I have a wife to support. I feel entirely broken, suffocated, and surrounded by absolute darkness. I am crying as I type this because I have nothing left.

​I am not looking for a handout or free money. I am begging for an opportunity to earn my way out of this nightmare. I am a very hardworking professional.

​Here is what I can do for you:

​Advanced Video Editing & Motion Graphics: Highly proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

​Specialized Map Animations: I am an expert in using the GeoLayers 3 plugin for high-end, geopolitical, historical, and documentary-style map animations.

​13 Years of Media Experience: From conceptualizing campaigns to writing gripping, well-researched documentary scripts.

​End-to-End Content Creation: I know how to structure a hook, retain an audience, source assets, and produce high-quality videos from scratch.

​If anyone out there needs a dedicated editor, a motion graphics artist, or a scriptwriter... please reach out. Give me a test project. Let me prove my worth. I just need a single lifeline to start breathing again.

​Thank you for reading.

Was going through zameen.com and went through some of Islamabads most expensive homes and alot of them were in billions. Homes looked old and in shabby condition. Looked like most of the price was for the price of land in F-6/F-7.

How are these prices even realistic for such places? 3.5 Billion for a place like that?

By comparison I am attaching photos from Malibu ( Southern California ) which is one of the most desired places to live in the entire world but the price is the same for the property as the one in Islamabad. Imagine getting pacific ocean views , highest quality of life in the world , access to LA and what not for the same price as F-6 in Islamabad. What does that tell you about the house prices in our country?

Need some honest opinions, so I'll lay out the situation and let you judge.

Background: I got laid off last month from a digital marketing company where I worked as a Lead Generation Manager. I've been job hunting since, and also trying freelancing — but orders are dry right now, so that's not really taking off. Instead of just waiting around, I've decided to start a business for the first time in my life.

The plan — at a busy chowk in Rawalpindi, I'm renting a small shop and running two things at once:

• A French fries cart outside (sada, masala/peri peri, loaded cheese)
• A khokha inside (cigarettes, Velo, supari, candy, biscuits, cold drinks)

I'm funding it from my savings, and being realistic that the early months will be slow before it (hopefully) builds up.

My thinking:

• It's a high-footfall spot, and street food is one of the few things that reliably moves in this economy.
• I'm keeping the job hunt and freelancing going in parallel — not putting all my eggs in one basket.

What I actually want from you:

1. Anyone here run a khokha or food cart in Pindi/Isb? What killed you, what worked?
2. Running BOTH at once — smart, or should I nail one first?
3. I have a marketing/lead-gen background and I'm freelancing, but no orders are coming right now. Do I keep pushing the freelance/remote route, or go all-in on the business?
4. Straight gut check: brave move, or a mistake I'll regret?

Roast it or back it — I'd rather hear the hard truth now than after the money's gone. Shukriya.

Salam, I (23) am the only son of my mother (47). She got divorced 4 years ago. I’d say both my parents are narcissistic and I was brought up in a very traumatic environment. My mother is a good muslim but she had her own issues in marriage due to which they separated. She never accepts her mistakes tho which gets difficult for me sometimes but I have made peace with it

Issue is, I want my future wife to stay happy with me and I don’t want to leave my mother alone too. We have a big house, I earn good too but I don’t want to leave her and start my family without being my mom in my life. (I don’t know if you call this being a “mama’s boy” but I don’t want her to live alone after she spent 25 years of her youth on building my future 🙏

How can I navigate this and still give my future wife the happiness she deserves and make her my queen too❤️

I’ve been coaching a couple of interns at my workplace (around 18–21 years old), and I’ve been surprised by how blunt, overconfident, and entitled they’ve come across.

It sometimes feels like every interaction turns into a competition as if they need to prove they’re smarter than me (the only person trying to help them and the only person who deems them worthy enough to converse with them).

For context, I’m 25F. I was also outspoken as a teen, but I never felt the need to compete with my seniors for respect or authority. If anything, I saw them as people I could learn from, even when I disagreed with them.

When I started my own career, some of my seniors were unnecessarily harsh and even shouted at me to the point where i cried. I decided I wouldn’t repeat that cycle and would instead be approachable, patient, and supportive when I eventually had juniors to mentor.
Funnily, I’ve found that the more accommodating and patient I am, the more these interns seem to mistake kindness for weakness. They interrupt me when I’m talking, push boundaries, are sometimes passive aggressive, send me overly casual texts, challenge instructions in unproductive ways, and occasionally behave as though they’re doing me a favour just by being there. The work I actually give them doesn’t even hold any value for me. I try to think of their future careers and give them tasks they can learn from.

I’m genuinely curious whether there is a shift in young adults attitudes towards work. Their attitude feels less like healthy confidence and more like a lack of professionalism.

For those who manage or mentor interns, have you noticed something similar, or is this just poor luck at my end?

Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah

So what's the deal with these. They are popping up after every second something video in YouTube. It has been a while since this started happening. First there was that creepy punjabi dude. Now these. I visited one and found 7 similar apps with similar weird names under "Something Jewellers LLC" company. Anyone has any idea. A new scam?

I’m currently living in Malaysia and need to access the Meezan Bank app to send money to someone.

When I logged in, it asked for an OTP, which I received via email. After entering the OTP, the app asked me to upload the front and back of my CNIC. I uploaded clear scanned copies of my original CNIC, but after that I got this annoying error.

I tried both the old Meezan Bank app and the new Meezan Bank 2.0 app, but I’m getting the exact same error on both.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any solution?

Helped a couple pay for fuel after their card kept declining. They asked if I could cover it, so I did out of courtesy.
A few moments later, I saw the same couple at Layers buying bakery items.
I’m not saying they weren’t allowed to buy food, but if you have enough money for pastries, why ask a stranger to pay for your fuel?

Faith in humanity took a small hit today.

Thank you PMLN and Asim Munir for your kindness of daily price increases

I got into IBA Mathematics but couldn't apply to LUMS this year. I want to go to LUMS for maths, but I dont know if I should accept my IBA offer or take a gap year and apply to LUMS next round with an improved overall profile?

Just went to pie in the sky located at abdul sattar edhi road lahore , wanted to ask you guys that

if bakeries are allowed to charge 18 percent tax on card

and is the gst supposed to be charged after applying the card on the discount or before applying the discount.

Would really appreciate it if someone can clear this up🙏

Hi! Im 21F (just turned), second gen immigrant in Canada. Recently I had my first rishta family come to my house to see me. The guy’s uncle and aunt, and his parents who live out of province were at our house. Apparently they really liked me and we had small conversation and I really liked them as well. The mother does full hijab and talked very politely, she didn’t ask any weird questions and seemed genuine. They also got along with my parents (as they already knew of them previously). Everyone was laughing and having a good time. Anyway, so they messaged later and would love me for their son. So they showed a couple of my pictures to the son who at this point hasn’t seen me.

A little background on the guy. He’s older than me and in residency as a doctor in Canada. We get a response 2 days later that the he “wants a girl whose degree is completed”. I understand this.. but the issue is I’ve been pursuing a Bachelor in Science for 2.5 years and after working in a lab and studying I’ve realized this is something I would not like to continue pursuing. Instead I’ve grown an interest in welding and plan on applying at a local institution for Winter 2027.

His parents asked me my plans and I said, “dental hygienist but I’m still exploring my interests so it’s not final”. This whole situation is giving me an existential crisis and a feeling that I should have my life together by now. The guy is coming to my city to work at a hospital.. I’m not sure if I should talk to him or not. Any advice would be appreciated as this is my first time talking to somebody for marriage.

Ive been looking to buy an ev scooter for my uni and day to day commute. Its not much really like 10-12 km each trip. So been looking into evs . I dont plan on using them long term just like 6-8 months max then either reselling them or using them for something else . The options i see rn are Metro T9 sport and Evee Gen z. Currently i think T9 is better but Evee is a better company overall ig in Lahore.
