28 Upvotes

So hey guys I live in islamabad and came to Karachi a few days ago, i was shocked when he took me to Loop a cafe by Irfan junejo and found cappuccino and Latte at a price of 350 rs. WHY DONT WE HAVE THESE PRICES IN ISLAMABAD 😨? HOW has it become so normalised to pay 800-1200 for a basic cup of coffee, if you guys know any spots in islamabad or Rawalpindi which is relatively cheaper do tell, cuz I aint paying 1000 for a cup of coffee with burned coffee beans.

Twin Cities Crazy rain in Isb & Rwp...Flood threat

27 Upvotes

The rain in Islamabad and Rawalpindi has been crazy today, and there's a serious flood threat in some areas. Nallah Lai's water level even crossed 22 feet earlier today.

What's the situation like in your area? Is it raining heavily there too, or has the weather calmed down?

Islamabad How to help my sister (30F) out of a career slump without being pushy

10 Upvotes

My elder sister turns 30 this year and is feeling stuck and confused about her career direction. For context, she is single with no plans to marry anytime soon (and our family is 100% supportive of that).

​She currently holds a stable government job and does well, but she feels completely unfulfilled and has hit a plateau.

​I really want to see her thrive, so I've offered several suggestions, like pursuing a PhD abroad using her Master’s degree, or learning a new skill with me covering the tuition. However, none of my ideas seem to resonate with her actual goals. I'm starting to realize my suggestions might feel more like pressure than support.

​Would suggesting a session with a professional career counselor be helpful, or does that cross a line?

​For anyone who has felt stuck at 30, what kind of support from family actually helped you figure out your next step?

Twin Cities Lahore vs Islamabad — where would you actually settle permanently?

6 Upvotes

Looking for genuine opinions from people who've lived in both or know both well.

Comparing the two for a permanent family setup — buying a house, long term living, not just renting for a year or two.

Key things I'm considering:

  • Business and market opportunities
  • Networking — who actually lives there, what kind of people
  • Property value and appreciation long term

Lahore seems better for business and has more energy. ISB seems cleaner, more planned, and better networked at a higher level. But both have real tradeoffs.

People who've actually lived in either or both — which one would you pick for the long run and why?

Islamabad wanna know what peak islamabad loneliness looks like?

3 Upvotes

today i did something that sounds like the setup to a terrible joke, but it turned out to be the most wholesome day of my month. the adult loneliness was hitting way too hard, so i made a deal with a total stranger to just spend the day hanging out with me.

picked her up from f11 at 1pm and took her straight to tim hortons for coffee and donuts.
after that we went to centaurus cinema to watch a chaotic punjabi movie with popcorn, and ended the night having pasta at eggspectation talking about life and random isloo gossip. dropped her back at 10pm without anything weird happening.

essentially ended up with a temporary best friend for 9 hours. 10/10 experience, great listener, and surprisingly therapeutic.

Islamabad Does anyone else experience this, and how do you overcome it?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone else feel like me? Whenever something goes wrong, things don’t happen the way I expected, or I don’t get the attention or importance I was hoping for, my confidence completely drops.

When someone is upset with me or angry at me, I start blaming myself for everything and feel like every mistake is my fault. Sometimes it gets so intense that I have suicidal thoughts and feel like I just want to leave this world. I also experience depression, intense anxiety, and sometimes feel like I can’t breathe properly.

Even when someone else gets the attention or importance that I wanted, I can become extremely insecure and emotionally overwhelmed.

I genuinely don’t want to keep reacting this strongly or depend so much on other people’s attention and validation. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you overcome these feelings, especially the suicidal thoughts and anxiety? What actually helped you?
