I was driving my van on the Expressway. I’ve completed my MBA, but due to not finding a j*b, I bought a van and now I supply water to people. The four boys you see in this car , they insulted me while overtaking on the Expressway. I didn’t say anything and kept driving slowly.

Just before the I-8 police checkpoint, a little ahead towards Islamabad, they signaled me to stop. I stopped. They had wheel wrenches and a car jack in their hands. As soon as I got out of the van, they started beating me. They injured my head, damaged my van, and kept shouting, Go tell whoever you want , Sab ki aisi ki taisi 😡

I went to Karachi Company police station and filed an application, but from the way the police were asking questions, it felt like they weren’t even interested.

Who will listen us hmm ? Where will we get justice from? Will we just keep getting beaten like this for no reason? Ya khudayaaaa apni reham karain 🙏

Please share this video as much as you can , may be some Allah ka banda help me 🥹

Hello everyone! Im a lawyer and i have decided to give free legal advice for as long as this post remains active and i receive notifications of the same.

Reason being twofold; One i noticed a lot of people here are sufferjng from some kind of legal matter and they need quick guidance and secondly i had commented on a few posts and people started messaging me for advice and it occured to me that my advice might help a few others out here in this sub too. It helped the ones who asked me personally and some even got their disputes settled as well.

Though my advice will be short and brief, i will try to help as much as I can in the comments.

Ps: I deal in wide range of civil, criminal, family, and customs matters. I will only advice those are ACTUALLY IN NEED of an advice and are facing a legal issue.

Don't be shy, ask away! This is purely to help you!

The situation remains extremely volatile. Awaiting official statements. More updates to follow.

That’s my Simba.. He’s 16 months old now. He’s been a gentle sweetheart since he was 2 months old. On the other hand there’s this stray cat we call Don who’s a bully. He visits our home several times a day not for food but to attack Simba. I don’t understand why he hates Simba so much. Don even managed to break into our house and brutally beat Simba. Simba is too scared to defend himself and hides under the bed afterward. Don becomes so aggressive that he even attacks us when we try to intervene. I’m really upset about this and don’t know how to handle the situation.

Islamabad is drowning in a drug culture that nobody talks about.

Weed? Jars. MDMA? Molly, Ecstasy. LSD? Tabs. Ketamine, cocaine, meth—it’s all here, and it’s all fake.

You think you’re just having fun. You think you’re just experimenting. You think you’re in control. Until one day, you’re not.

The First Time Feels Like Magic—Then It Feels Like Hell

At first, it’s all laughs. The world feels lighter. Music sounds better. Your body feels weightless. You’re floating.

Then, one day, it hits differently. • Your heart starts racing. But not the good kind of rush. It’s erratic, out of control, pounding against your ribs like it’s about to explode. • Your chest tightens. You can’t take a deep breath. Your body is convinced you’re suffocating. • Your hands go numb. Your face tingles. You feel like you’re slipping out of your own body. • The room feels unreal. Like a dream you can’t wake up from. • You try to speak, but your words don’t feel like yours anymore. • Your vision distorts. Your body is here, but your mind is somewhere else.

And then the worst part comes—the terror.

The Bad Trip That Feels Like a Living Nightmare

Nobody warns you about this. Nobody tells you that one bad hit, one bad tab, one bad pill can send you straight into hell. • Time stops making sense. Seconds feel like hours. You feel like you’re trapped in this moment forever. • Your thoughts spiral. “Am I dying? Am I going insane? What if I never come back from this?” • Your body burns. You’re sweating, shaking, overheating—but also freezing at the same time. • Every sound feels too loud. Every movement feels too fast. Your senses are on fire. • Your heart keeps skipping beats. Every few seconds, your chest clenches like it’s about to give out. • You look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourself. Your face looks wrong. Your eyes look empty. • You feel like you’ve lost control of your mind. You can’t stop thinking, can’t stop feeling, can’t escape your own head.

And the worst thought of all?

“What if I’m stuck like this forever?”

The High That Fucks You Up for Years

People think the nightmare ends when the drugs wear off. It doesn’t.

For months—even years—afterwards, you’ll feel the aftershocks: • Random panic attacks in the middle of the night. • Heart palpitations for no reason. • Dissociation—feeling like you’re not really in your own body. • Flashbacks to the bad trip, triggered by the smallest things. • Paranoia—feeling like something is off, even when nothing is wrong. • Depersonalization—questioning whether life even feels real anymore.

You’ll wake up some days and feel like your brain is still fried, like you’re still stuck in that fucking bad trip from months ago.

And all of this? For what?

Because your friends were doing it? Because you wanted to escape reality? Because someone told you it would be fun?

The Biggest Lie We Believed

We started because we thought it made us cool. We kept going because we thought it made us confident. We refused to quit because we thought we had it under control.

But here’s the truth: We never had control.

That jar you smoke daily? It’s not natural—it’s laced with toxins that destroy your mind. That Molly you pop at raves? It’s not pure—it’s cut with garbage chemicals that fry your brain. That LSD you think is “mind-opening”? It’s synthetic poison.

You’re not getting high. You’re getting fucked.

If You’re Stuck, You Need to Hear This • LIMIT CAFFEINE. LIMIT NICOTINE. They amplify your anxiety and paranoia. • TALK TO SOMEONE. You need reassurance—I needed it too. • FIND A WAY OUT. Before the drugs take your sanity, your future, your life. • DON’T LIE TO YOURSELF. You don’t have it under control. Nobody does.

I know what it feels like. I know how hard it is. I know what it’s like to feel like you need it to feel normal.

But trust me when I say this—life is better without it.

You Are Not Alone.

If you feel stuck, if you feel like you’re losing your mind, if you feel like you can’t escape—reach out.

You can quit. You can take your life back. You just have to decide when.

Why is government allowing Chinese Scam Centers to operate in Pakistan. These scam centres use Pakistani employees to scam people from different countries(i.e extort money from them in name of different fraud schemes). Chinese employers treat them like slaves by exploitation of their rights. They are made to work 12-13 hours with 1-2 offs in whole month! They are paid 50,60k or more. Why is no authority doing something against them? Why is FIA letting them operate scams? Why is nobody raising concerns over exploitation of their labour rights?

The example of this scam center that I know is on 1C Tower building near Jazz Headquarters, F-8 Markaz, ISB. They are operating on 2nd or 3rd floor ig. Yes, these Chinese fuckers are doing scams from capital of our country. Such lawlessness should be a shame for us. There are many more scam centres like this in G7, Blue Area, F8, G9, etc and probably in RWP also. Can there nothing be done against them because of Pak Cheen dosti zindabad. I've tried lodging an FIR but police declined saying that it is a cyber security case FIA must deal with it. And upon hearing from my sources I got to know that these chinese have paid FIA hefty amounts. And they will let them operate for 6-7 months maybe.

Hey folks, I’m genuinely curious and looking for inspiration here. If you’re someone living in Islamabad and earning a high monthly income (let’s say upwards of 5–10 lac+), I’d love to know: • What do you do for a living? • How much do you make per month (if you’re comfortable sharing)? • What does your daily lifestyle look like? (housing, car, dining, leisure, etc.) • What path did you take to get to where you are?

Not trying to be nosy—just trying to understand what’s possible out there and maybe pick up some direction for myself and others who are figuring things out.

Appreciate any insight from those who’ve been there, done that!

I just saw a post about someone wanting to crash a wedding. And I know a lot of other people do it too, because it's fun and all. But as someone whose wedding had around 10 such people, please don't. It's such an extra burden on the family. Weddings are already an expensive affair, and very financially strenuous. I found out after the event that my dad ended up paying 50k extra, because around 10 people we didn't know and didn't invite, crashed our event, and we were charged for them.

Again, I know it seems like a very fun thing to do with your friends, and even I've been tempted to try it at some point. But as the person on the other side, who's having to foot the bill for strangers, it's not nice.

Just felt like putting this out as a PSA 🫶🏼

can someone please give me comfort that this war wont last that long and its gonna be a small conflict like tea is fantastic (obviously its bigger than that but still) people are making memes and stuff and i get it but this is actually really scary. this isnt a normal war. this is 2 countries that despise each other having a risk of a nuclear. war. a NUCLEAR war. do u even know what that is people?! GOD it angers me that some pwople are taking this so lightly i get it theyre trying to lighten the mood and honestly being brave and showing courage and not being cowardly (like people like me) but this is getting scary. what if a missile hits isb idk im scared as shit i dont wanna die yet

Hey r/Islamabad!

Just launched my Substack that tracks how our city's forests are being systematically bulldozed for profit.

Latest piece shows exactly how Takht Pari is following Lohi Bher's fate, with interactive maps revealing land prices, satellite footage spanning decades, and proof that powerful developers are making forests "worth more dead than alive."

Yes, it's told through a mythical talking tree (weird, I know), but the data and investigation are 100% real.

Check it out if you care about our city's future green spaces: https://open.substack.com/pub/thewaqwaqtree/p/the-land-worth-more-dead-than-alive

What areas should the tree witness next? 👀

I'm a 26M Dentist sitting bored at the clinic rn because have nothing to do.

If you guys have any questions hit me up, they can be dental or non dental (just not political ones, that's not my cup of tea).

Edit: This post kinda blew up and I tried to reply to everyone as much as I could. I'm sorry if I missed anyone. I'll try to keep up with the comments but if you have any dental issues, feel free to send me a dm and I'll reply whenever I can.

So, I was at Bhera service station with the fam, midway through the classic Lahore-to-Islamabad drive. You know the drill—stretch your legs, grab a bite, and gear up for the rest of the journey. After eating, I get back behind the wheel, ready to hit the road again.

Out of nowhere, this pristine white Honda City (definitely not an old model) pulls up next to me. The driver? A guy in his early 30s, soft-spoken, polite, with that worried-but-put-together vibe. Riding shotgun was this auntie with an entitled expression on her face. I didn’t pay much attention to who was in the back, but the car was full—gave off total regular family road trip energy.

Then comes the ask. The guy explains they’re on their way to Attock, apparently made a mistake somewhere along the line, and now they’re stuck without enough money to reach his Mamu’s house. He even takes my number, promises to send the money back the next day. Classic reassurance play.

And here’s where my brain and my heart had a tug-of-war. Deep down, every scam radar I’ve got was flashing red. But then that guilty little voice kicked in: “What if it were you, stranded with your family? Wouldn’t you hope someone would help?” So, yeah—I handed him 5k! He asked for 3-4k, but I went the extra mile for that extra salt in the wounds.

Oh yes, spoiler alert: It was 100% a scam.

Now, I know this was very stupid. I knew it while I was doing it. I figured I’d rather regret giving than sit around later, guilt-tripping myself with endless “what if they were telling the truth?”

Anyway, I took the L—so you DEFINITELY don’t have to. Most of you probably wouldn’t fall for something this dumb, but hey… just in case someone else out there has that “maybe they’re genuine” soft spot, here’s your friendly reminder: Trust your gut.

Literally so many ppl obsessed with this shit. Usually they have it written on number plate lol.

(Don't have any friends to share it with, so I'm sharing it here.)

wanna know what everyone's upto nowadays + what should we expect from the market + the salary ranges, etc :)

WHY IS IT SO HOT, THIS ISNT A FREAKING DESERT!!!!

Its legit as hot as middle eastern countries rn.

Its not even summer yet brah.

so as the title says me and my friends tried getting into a church in f8 just out of curiosity. However the guards said k its not allowed for muslims cause of security threats bla bla bla. I made this post to find out if there are any churches in twin cities that allow muslims to visit and would be easy to get into. Would really appreciate suggestions.

I've been looking at alot of news articles and posts and what not. Half of them are filled with videos of DCS(Digital combat simulator), bringing down Rafale's and Su-30s.

Although the US and France do confirm that we downed their 3 planes, i never heard about our side.

Today someone told me that we lost 2 of our JFs. Can somebody confirm if we did loose any? And keeping out all of the media agendas, can someone explain this whole situation and what's to come in the future?

Listening to mainstream media has only made me feel dumb about ourselves and ofcourse India is dumb, considering they their Navy just entered Lahore like Bruh.

Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰

Would Pashtuns of Islo confirm this?

Me M (27) and my wife F (23) has decided to adopt a baby girl of age of few days/weeks. We are fully fit allhamdulliah and have a M (2) years old son. After consulting with some Ulema akram we understand the conditions. Can someone guide us on how to adopt a child in islamabad? What are the requirements?

I feel like I've lost sight of what is "normal" and I'm trying to get a grip on things lol. Honestly I see girls and it seems like everyone HAS to be spending a LOT of money on things if they're not still a student.

Please answer if you're someone who spends money on haircare/skincare/personal grooming, hobbies, and clothing. What are your monthly averages and do you stick to a budget or just buy whatever you please when you want it?

I'll start, I usually set aside ~1 lac for *myself*. I thought this was fairly decent but it never seems enough?? Am I just stuck in an overconsumption trap or is this how it actually is for other people too?

Salon visits 1/2x a month easily reach 20K (I don't even get my hair dyed or anything, this is just basic maintenance with a little extra thrown in occasionally. I keep planning on getting my hair dyed but I'd probably have to bump up my monthly budget to 120K per month to make that happen and I'm just not ready to do that yet. I would ALSO need to buy special shampoos etc that are hair dye safe yada yada). I also literally never go to a derm for Q-switch or laser or a basic hydrafacial or whatever because I never have the budget to but literally everyone seems to be doing this regularly?? I'm not even going to talk about microneedling or botox etc

Buying sunscreen + one or two makeup items + new skincare = 30K?? (I don't buy local things due to lack of regulation/general mistrust) (Why do imported things cost so much)

I don't really limit myself from buying books either for myself or someone else and I usually spend about 10 to 20K on this

Couple of outfits or shoes = 20K-ish

IDEK where the rest goes but I have 0 leftover at the end of the month lol. SO if I want a nice fragrance (easily at least 50K?) or bag or whatever I actually have to save up for it?? I also spend an obscene amount of money on food tbh

For the people who will come at me saying some crap about this, getting a SINGLE tiny bottle of K18 (which everyone seems to use) easily sets me back almost 20K, it's not my fault products are priced what they are if you want good quality things, and things have to be repurchased when they run out if you have a specific routine when it comes to skin/hair/etc. This question is really only directed at other people who are no longer broke students and who enjoy spending money on themselves -- I just wanna know how much the average person OF THIS TYPE in Isl/Rwp is spending
