Islamabad H9 Bazar looks depressing

Went to get some fruits yesterday and saw that most of the Bazar was sealed. It's been like this for weeks now. And the look on the faces of the people there was very depressing.

This is the livelihood of so many people. A thriving Bazar runs the economy. I wonder when they will open it again.

Islamabad Oh to be young 💪😾

42 Upvotes

Oh to be young and have shit ton of confidence for doing anything anywhere 😭😭😭. I was sitting in a cafe in I8, waiting for my friend when i noticed this group of teenagers.

The cafe was empty, only I was there and staff. These two girls barged in. Sat there, didn't buy anything and then started filming vlog and fit check 😭😭😭😭. And THEN as their friends were looking for them so they sat down on floor and tried to hide 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️.

It was cute and i was so happy seeing kids full of much confidence. I wondered when was the last time i had the courage to do something like that 😤 i believe we all should be same level of non chalant as kids these days.

Islamabad Urgent Help Needed with C-Section Expenses for a Pregnant Woman

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out on behalf of a distant relative of my mother whose family is going through financial difficulties. She needs a C-section due to the baby’s position, but unfortunately, her family is struggling to afford the cost of the operation.

If anyone is able to help financially, knows of an organization that could assist, or can guide us toward available support, we would be truly grateful. Even a little help or the right guidance could make a real difference for this family during such a stressful time.

I completely understand that people need to be cautious about financial appeals online. We’re happy to speak directly and provide further details for verification so anyone interested can feel comfortable confirming the situation.

Any help, advice, or even sharing this post would genuinely mean a lot to the family.

Islamabad KHI to ISB - Flights

• Upvotes

Salam,

​I am travelling with my mom from KHI to ISB soon. I haven’t lived in Pakistan for a while, so I’m not familiar with how local domestic flight operations and airport systems work nowadays.

Can you please help me:

​Flight recommendations, What is the best/most reliable airline for this route these days.

​Wheelchair assistance, My mom can't walk long distances and needs a wheelchair. I’m booking through Skyscanner, but I don’t see an option to add wheelchair assistance during the checkout process. How do I add this?

Any other tips are appreciated, Thanks in advance.

JazakAllah.

Rawalpindi Overseas Pakistani looking for an honest and reliable property management company in Rawalpindi — need genuine advice

2 Upvotes

Salam Everyone!

I'm an overseas Pakistani and I own a property in Pakistan. Unfortunately my relatives have been mismanaging the rent collections. I'm looking for a reliable property management company and regular financial reporting.

For those who have actually used these services, how was your experience? We're they transparent and trustworthy? Did they transfer rent on time? Would recommend them to someone living abroad?

I'd really appreciate honest recommendations based on personal experience including any companies you'd avoid.

Jazakallah Khair!

Islamabad University with least creepy blackmailing professors?!

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I am thinking of resuming my uni studies. I previously did my degree from my small hometown uni despite being able to get into top pakistani unis. Just because of all the news and a fear that a professor might blackmail me and cost me my degree.

Even in my uni, where everyone knows everyone, professors were a bit creepy, but they couldn't do anything bco you know they know everyone somewhat personally.

Tried to apply abroad and got into great unis, but the visa situation isn't working out for me.

So now I want a good education in Pakistan where professors know what they are teaching and are not even less knowledgeable than the students. So I was considering unis. But I felt like Lahore unisfacee more of this creepiness than Isl.

So I am asking here fromevery student, plz sugges to me the unis that are safe from this orat leastt MORE safe than others and probably where the professors don't fail anyone they want. The ones which have some law and order and aren't wild.

I would really appreciate it, as I am quite stressed. Also, you can mention any other cities uni as well.

Islamabad O Levels vs Federal Board for my younger brother? Need advice from Pakistani parents/students

1 Upvotes

Hiii! I'm trying to figure out what's best for my younger brother, who's currently in 8th grade, and I'd really appreciate advice from people who've faced a similar dilemma.

My main goal is to help him come out of his shy bubble, become more confident, improve his social skills, and develop his own personality. I also want him to grow beyond the typical pendu mindset and the social conditioning that's so normalised around us. Ideally, I'd like him to study in a co-ed environment so he can become more comfortable interacting with girls naturally, too.

My parents don't plan on moving abroad, and honestly, neither does he. They want to settle in Pakistan. Lekin as his older sibling, I want him to have opportunities I never had and to be prepared for different situations in life.

He's currently enrolled in another private school that seems good on paper, but the academic workload is affecting his health. He also hasn't really been able to fit in socially. The environment feels quite restrictive, and I feel like a lot of the kids don't get much room to develop their own identities or personalities.

Now, here's where I'm confused.

We currently live in Sargodha, and our first option is ABICS. It's close to home, seems safe, and they've recently introduced a new O Levels batch. The fee is around Rs. 20,000 per month, excluding examination fees, which we're comfortable paying.

The problem is that we're tentatively planning to move to Islamabad in around two years. I've looked into Cambridge-affiliated schools there, and many of the options seem to be outside our budget. If we enrol him in O Levels here, we might have to stay in Sargodha for the next five years to avoid disrupting his education, and honestly, staying here that long isn't ideal for our family.

So now I'm torn between two options:

  1. Switch him from Sargodha Board to Federal Board at ABICS, which would give us more flexibility to move to Islamabad in a couple of years.
  2. Commit to O Levels in Sargodha and potentially delay our move for the next five years to give him what I think might be a better educational and social environment.

I'm not necessarily looking for the most prestigious option. I care more about his confidence, personality development, social exposure, mental and physical well-being, and future opportunities.

For those who've studied under both systems, have children in either system, or have made a similar decision for their siblings:

  • Is O Levels genuinely worth the extra commitment, or can a good Federal Board school offer similar opportunities?
  • How much difference does the school environment actually make in terms of confidence, communication skills, and personality development?
  • Would switching boards or schools again in two years be a significant problem?
  • If you were making this decision for your own child, which option would you choose and why?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people familiar with the education scene in Pakistan, particularly Sargodha and Islamabad. Please share your honest experiences, not just the usual "O Levels is better" or "Matric is better" arguments.

Thank you!

Islamabad Purchasing residential plot in Sector F1 DHA 5?

1 Upvotes

Would appreciate advice about buying a residential plot (10 marla) in DHA Phase 5, Sector F1.

Is this a good investment? What is the going market rate of a good plot? I am hoping to purchase to live there myself but only after around 3-5 years. It seems like by that time it would be more developed.

Please advise if anyone recommends this or another place that is better.

I see this cat often in my galli and she sometimes comes to my house too near Islamabad (dm for location). I saw someone's reply to another post where they said their father abandoned their cat in the place where I currently live. The cat matches the description I think. Also, she's very friendly and even let me pet her which means she's not a stray.

I was waiting for her to come by ever since I saw that post and today she did hehe.
