Discussion Working on a research project on Pakistan ecommerce. Would love to know why most Pakistanis (young and old) don’t prefer buying medicines online? What would convince you to?

• Upvotes

Would love to know thoughts irrespective of age.

Is it because:
- There’s a pharmacy at every nook and corner so people prefer buying it in person as they get to see the product
- ecommerce delivery fees are too high?
- concern online meds are fake
- credit card theft concerns?

What would convince you to buy medicines online?

Hey everyone!
We’re planning our honeymoon for the end of December and looking for suggestions. We want somewhere cozy, peaceful and private, with not too many people around. It shouldn’t be too cold either.
Our budget is around 150k for 8 nights. Please suggest places that would be worth it and fit our budget. Would appreciate personal experiences and recommendations for stays too!
Thanks!

Discussion Is tipping culture getting out of hands in Pakistan?

48 Upvotes

We visited Pakistan few months ago and we took our families out for dinner. We reserved the place in advance and all was good. Bill was around 40K PKR and additionally, I think 8-10% services charges. Where we live everything is included in the cost and no tipping/service charges culture here.

We settled the bill and as we were about to leave, staff started asking for tip, my husband said we already paid and they said we didn't pay, my husband said we paid the service charges, they said that's not tip, that's service charges. My husband said, please explain the tipping then, isn't tip means appreciating the services, so what's the difference between tipping and service charges, then they said, Sir, wo tu management k liye hai, hamara tu alag hisab kitab hota hai. My husband said, go and fight with management. We already paid 4000 extra, what else are you expecting from us.

We had a good time in the restaurant but the ending left a bitter taste. What would you guys had done? It's not about being cheap, it's about there should be a limit? There was one person standing at the door, for opening/closing, expecting tip, there was a security guard, trying to open the car door, expecting tip. there was a gate keeper, saluting and expecting the tip.

I mean, where's the end? The experience was different for us. We also felt some judgement from the surroundings, it's like Pakistanis have accepted this culture and don't argue or fight back. If there were no service charges, we would had happily tipped but once service charges are included, then why tip?

Ask Pakistan Doesn’t it get or feel suffocated to think of marrying someone and to live the rest of the life with that person!?? It scares me honestly

0 Upvotes

Is it really like this way? Or better or worse like. I am a kinda person even if I talk to someone and they fall for me like for e.g I can’t think of me committed to a person and them always just talking to me ,calling whenever everyday everytime and bas baatein baatein. Doesn’t it get annoying? I just don’t like this har waqt ka chipakna i enjoy being alone and myself but sometimes it feel like I need someone but jab bhi i find a person doing this with me I distance myself from them. Is this common and ok? I am scared of relationships and never been in one that I might break someone’s heart not knowing what they want and expect from me. I don’t like giving every hour updates or day updates to anyone I think it’s kinda distraction har waqt kisi ke saat lage raho? Don’t couples find it frustrating and annoying. I cannot imagine myself doing this or maybe I have not found my person so that too is a factor.

Discussion Will obsession with marriage ever go away?

15 Upvotes

Will the pakistani societal insane fixation on marriage ever go away?
- larka bara nahi ho raha, shadi karlo
- larki bari ho rahi hai, shadi karlo
- beta shadi nahi ki?
- shadi karado bus iski ab
- jaldi shadi karado time nikal jaega
- shadi karado theek hojaega
- shadi ke baad tou sab theek ho hi jate hain.

Like the obsession with marriage is insane in our society. It used to be toxic and insane in 1900s, it is toxic and insane even now. When will we get over this?

Discussion 19, one client. Sales, tech, or study abroad?

1 Upvotes

I've been teaching myself AI and automation for about 3 years. I post my journey on LinkedIn, and that's how a mid-size healthcare company in Europe found me and DM'd me.

I built them a voice AI system that's now in production, handling 1,000+ calls a day. They pay me $1,300/month for maintenance, which is a lot of money here. Now they want me to improve it drastically so they can pitch it to much bigger clients.

The honest part: I built it with heavy help from AI tools. It works, but I don't deeply understand complex voice AI architecture. I'm past being a pure vibecoder, but I'm not an expert either.

Other context:

I opened a US LLC and I cold call US small businesses myself, but I'm not great at it. Plans I am selling are $100 / $300 / $500 per month.

I hired an appointment setter. She booked 7 demos, 1 said, 1 needs time, other are no show and in que, then today she left. I'm hiring a new one.

Current revenue outside the main client: 0$.

I'm planning to study abroad next year (Ireland, Poland or the Netherlands) and I'm preparing for IELTS.

Almost all my income is this one client, and I've never had a job, so if it ends I have little else to show.

People in my community who are good at sales are scaling no code voice AI agents in about 6 months. That makes me think sales matters more than tech right now when AI can do all that technical stuff.

What would you do in my place?

  1. Learn sales hard and scale the agency to US small businesses, using the main client as proof.
  2. Go deep on voice AI engineering and become properly technical, aiming for a job abroad.
  3. Something else?

I'd especially like to hear from people who've built a service business or worked in voice AI.

Ask Pakistan Why Pakistanis are so obsessed with asking about martial status?

95 Upvotes

I moved out of Pakistan in 2017 and practiced as a doctor in the uk and some other European countries. Never in my entire professional life did my colleagues ask me if I was married or not, not especially in first interactions. It's been a year in my current workplace, and no one has ever asked me about my marital status or dating life. Only time I was asked about this out of Pakistan was when i met pakistani Dr's or pakistani origin patients during consultations.

Just after the first wave of covid, I moved back to pakistan to relax and not focus on work. Quickly got bored and thought I could find jobs in hospitals in my city just to kill sometime. Even in my interview, they asked me about my Marital Status and also lectured me about the importance of marriage.

On my first day at work, almost all of my colleagues asked me about my Marital Status, again got lectured by them about the importance of wedding.

After a few days, I assisted a surgeon, and he lectured me about benfits of marriage in the whole procedure, and it was my first case with him.

Why we don't have basic etiquette of not asking personal questions at least in very first meetings.
