In balochistan u get killed, ur loved ones get killed by a terror outfit and thrown in the mountains

Police and any other law enforcement agency refuse to fetch the corpses so u r forced to volunteer, once u do that police take them back and dont give it u unless u bribe em. Unless a sis sells her wedding dress for 15k to receive her brother’s bloodied body(he was the only brother of six sisters)

I m sharing this here cuz mainstream media doesn’t give a F abt balochistan and if they do then they lie.

IM FUMING. BS! 5K IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR SMS FEE.

I've observed that a lot of (not all of course but a many) Pakistan born Pakistanis don't bother to learn English when they come to England.

They use the excuse that there are insulated communities in England, but I find it really off putting, how they expect me to conversate in urdu/punjabi/pashto with them and have this complex that they don't need to learn English.

Even in my own extended family I have relatives who cannot hold a conversation with me in English, and I'm look at as the freak for speaking to them in English.

I don't see this in Arab or Indian communities, so why do you many (not all!) Pakistanis always do this? 🤦🏾‍♂️ ​​

I've seen so many Pakistanis that are against the army. They seem to really hate them (I'm kinda neutral idk) but is the hatred the same for airforce and navy?

The main question is that anti-army people are also anti airforce/navy? (Btw no hate to those who are pro/anti army. I'm just curious)

some news channels saying rise in prices expected, petrol about 10 pkr and diesel 40 pkr per litre.

is it true??? petrol dalwa luin mein 😢

Hello Everybody.

Could you tell me what is the ruling on Prize Bonds, as my family is adamant that they are completely fine to keep.

According to my understanding, it is a sort of gambling and that majority of the scholars have not allowed it. But my family says that since our money stays intact i.e we can get our money back if we don't win, then it's all right.

Kindly clarify if I am in the wrong, or any strong argument that I can give to counter.

Thanks Alot everyone!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well. I’m doing my cousins bridal vanity (She is in KHI) for makeup as I live abroad so I’m sending her some products from here. I’m purchased majority of items but I’m stuck on lip colours.

I would say she has medium skin tone and she says she has pigmented lips. For reference her daily lip is more taupe by Maybelline. I’ve also seen her wear berry/mauve lipsticks and dark burgundy/plum. She also uses the Maybelline vinyl inks in different colours.

So far for her I’ve got:

* NARS Lip Pigment in Somebody to Love
* MAC Viva Glam Equality Lipstick
* Morphe Lip Filter in Whipped
* NYX Lip IV in Drippin' in Rose
* Too Faced Pillow Balm in Berry Jam Kiss
* Too Faced Pillow Balm in Hot Cocoa Kiss
* Beauty Bay Trio including Hyper Gloss Lip Click in Bitten, Vintage Lip Liner, and Lip Plump in Biscotti Spice

I’ve gone for a mix of gloss/matte so she has things for more glam but also for day to day and stuff to wear with lip liners.

Is there anything else I should add? I didn’t go for light colour or anything pink as that doesn’t seem to be her preference from photos.

Personally I think it’s enough lip products but wanted to double check.

Only two more I was considering adding was L’Oréal lip liquids in worth it medium (matte) and drunk in rose (lacquer) or would this be overkill/is it better swapping any of the more glossy ones with these two from L’Oréal?

Would just appreciate any answers/opinions xx

Also I haven’t purchased/ considered anything from Maybelline as they have told me it’s easy to purchase from where they’re from.

Thank you in advance girls x

Just noticed a trend online and even in people in my circle (friends,family, colleagues,etc) of dehumanizing others. First they did it with afghans yes the Taliban have become enemies of Pakistan but calls to carpet bomb Kabul and deport all immigrants sounds a lot like what Israelis and Zionists say. More recently, after ksa attacked Ansar Allah military bases accounts started dehumanizing Yemenis and calling for striking Yemen (nobody asked them though) and in our own country every one who raises their voice against injustice (Iman mazari, civil rights movements in Balochistan and kpk are labelled terrorists).

If this mentality was limited to officials and govt it might have been fine but it has made its way to the general public as well.

Your thoughts??

I’m buying a new inverter AC for Lahore heat and need recommendations.

My priorities are:

* Durability/reliability

* Good after-sales service

* Low electricity consumption

If you’ve used your AC for 3+ years, please share:

* Brand & model

* Electricity usage

* Any repairs or issues

* Customer service experience

Looking for honest recommendations and brands to avoid. Thanks!

I accidentally missed my physics practical can anyone tell me what I need to do now in Punjab board please

Pakistan’s education reality: tiny pool of graduates, even tinier pool of engineers and still no fulfilling jobs

Pakistan has around 250 million people (25 crore).

When you look closely at higher education, the numbers are honestly shocking.

- Only about 1.86% of the total population has 16 years of education. That’s roughly 4.5–5 million people with a full bachelor’s (BS/BE/BBA, MBBS/BDS, etc.).

- Out of the entire population, registered professional engineers are on the order of 2.5–3 lakh. That’s around 0.1% of the population i.e. roughly one engineer per 900 people.

This even seems too many engineers.

So if you zoom out:

- The overwhelming majority of Pakistanis never reach a full 16‑year degree.

- The group with proper bachelors and professional degrees (including engineers, doctors, etc.) is tiny compared to the population.

- Engineers, in particular, are a very small minority, numerically speaking.

And here’s the paradox:

Despite being part of this small, highly educated slice of society, many 16‑year graduates and engineers can’t find fulfilling work:

- Underemployment is everywhere: engineers doing call center jobs, random admin work, low‑paid teaching, or completely unrelated gigs.

- Decent entry‑level jobs in engineering, tech, and other professional fields are limited and often concentrated in a few cities or sectors.

- Career growth, skill utilization, and workplace quality are so poor that even those who do get jobs feel stuck, undervalued, or permanently “temporary.”

So you end up with a situation where:

- The country has very few engineers per capita, yet the ones it has are either wasted, underpaid, or pushed toward survival mode.

- Families invest heavily (financially and emotionally) to get their kids to 16 years of education, and then watch them struggle to find work worthy of their skills.

- For many, the only “rational” path becomes brain drain: Canada, the Gulf, Europe, Australia, anywhere that offers a real career trajectory and respect for their qualifications.

This is the part that really bothers me:

Does Pakistan has jobs problem OR a talent mismanagement problem.

People often talk about “too many engineers” or “too many graduates,” but if you look at the per‑capita numbers, it’s actually the opposite:

We have too few educated people for our population size, and even those few are pushed to leave.

Curious what others here think:

- Are we okay with being a country that trains a small elite and then exports it?

- What would it take to make staying in Pakistan a rational choice for someone with 16 years of education, especially in engineering and STEM?

- If you’re an engineer or graduate here, what pushed you toward migration or what made you stay despite everything?

Would love to hear experiences, especially from people who’ve either left or tried hard to build a career while staying.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently at a crossroads and could really use some unfiltered advice. I’m thinking about enrolling in an online MBA from a foreign university specifically looking at the University of London (UoL) Global MBA, or honestly, any other reputable online foreign program. 
Before I drop a chunk of money and commit my evenings to this, I want to weigh it against doing a standard, physical, local MBA (like at IBA/IoBM, LUMS, or even KSBL/SZABIST).

I have a few specific questions and worries:

1. Online Foreign MBA vs. Physical Local MBA

Network vs. Name: A massive part of a local MBA is the physical networking, the group projects, and the actual face-to-face push you get from peers. With an online degree, I'm basically studying alone in my room staring at a screen. Does the "foreign brand name" of UoL actually compensate for having zero local classmates, zero alumni events, and zero local job placement drives?

Value of the Degree: Do local employers actually look at a "University of London" degree and go "Wow, foreign graduate!" or do they just see "Oh, they did an online distance learning course" and throw the CV in the trash?

2. Career Opportunities in the Pakistani Market

How do HR departments in top Pakistani companies (MNCs, FMCGs, local giants, banks) view online foreign degrees?
If two candidates apply for a management role one with a physical MBA from a top-tier Pakistani uni (LUMS/IBA) and one with an online Global MBA from UoL who realistically gets the callback?

3. The "Worst-Case Scenarios"

I want to prepare for the absolute worst. If you've done this or know someone who has, what are the horror stories? For example:
HEC Equivalence Nightmares: How hard is it to get an online/distance-learning foreign MBA recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Pakistan? Does HEC still give people a hard time with "hybrid" or online degrees when it comes to equivalence certificates?
Zero ROI: What is the likelihood of spending £10k+ only to end up in the exact same job, with the exact same salary, because local HR doesn't care about the degree?

If anyone has done the UoL Global MBA (or any other online program) while living in Pakistan, please share your experience. Was it actually a career accelerant, or did it just end up being an expensive "box-ticking" exercise? 

Has anyone had any success applying for and getting a Qatar A1 visa through Hayya application in the past months? Ive heard rumors that they arent offering any type of visa to Pakistanis

Har Lehza Hai Momin Ki Nayi Shaan, Nayi Aan By Allam Iqbal , Recited By Pakistani Kids , Old TVC

I've wanted to ask this for years because I've heard so many conflicting explanations, and I'd rather hear from people with firsthand knowledge than rely on hearsay.

My uncle retired from the Pak Army as a Brig Si(m). Even after retirement, he's extremely private about his career. Once, during a family gathering, I casually asked him about Pakistan's role in the Afgan war. He immediately said, "Never ask me about that again." It wasn't anger it was obvious that some subjects were simply off limits.

Even today, he still has strong connections within the military community. Last month my friends and I were in Mathia Gali and couldn't find a hotel because everything was booked. I called my uncle, and with a single phone call he arranged accommodation for us at the paf officers' mess, Kalabagh.

Another uncle of mine retired as a Colonel after serving in Siachen, Kargil, Swat, Mohmand, and Operation Clean-up in Karanchi (1992), yet he never made Brigadier. A family member told me that promotions beyond Colonel depend on selection by senior leadership, not just operational experience.

Since then, I've heard all kinds of claims. Some people say promotions to Major General are based on merit, leadership, confidential reports, and strategic ability. Others insist that senior recommendations, internal politics, and "keeping the right people happy" become just as important. I've even heard rumors about things like spouse swapping, but I have no evidence they're true and don't want to present rumors as facts.

So I'd like to ask those with firsthand knowledge:

What actually separates a Brigadier from someone who becomes a Major General?

How much do merit, leadership, confidential reports, and senior recommendations matter?

Are the more sensational stories just myths, or is there any credible basis for them?

I'm looking for factual, experience based answers rather than speculation.

I applied to GCUL and Punjab University. Now problem is PU entry test and GCUL interview is on the same date and time. I cant risk not taking both. I believe interview date can be adjusted. But i think it wouldnt be wise to mention I have an entry test as the reason? Also should i call the department or do I email them?
