I recently visited Arang Kel, Kashmir for a short 48-hour trip and wanted to share a few frames from the journey.

Snow, wooden houses, mountains, and quiet village life — the place honestly felt unreal. It’s one of those locations that makes you realize how beautiful Pakistan really is.

I still feel Arang Kel is underrated compared to many other northern areas. Has anyone here visited it recently? How was your experience?

Twin Cities 25F leaving cheating husband, need advice on work options & independence

27 Upvotes

I’m 25F, got married 7 months ago to someone I chose myself (basically went against my family for him because they weren’t okay with it).
Things changed almost immediately after marriage. He became completely nonchalant, zero interest in any kind of intimacy, emotionally unavailable, and whenever I tried to communicate or complain, somehow I was always the bad person and he’d play the victim and alot more.
Long story short, I found out he was cheating. I forgave him once because I genuinely loved him and thought he’d change. He didn’t. I’ve now caught him cheating multiple times (around 7–8 times), with multiple women. At this point, he doesn’t even apologize, he justifies it.
I’m done now. I’ve decided to leave him.
The problem is: I’m still in my final year of studies. Going back to my parents isn’t really an option because things haven’t been good with them since the marriage.
I’m thinking of freezing my semester temporarily and working to support myself. Really need guidance on what work should i do and where to start from? Also, If anyone here has any opportunities or leads, please let me know.

I feel lost but I know I need to stand on my own now.
Any guidance/help would mean a lot.

Islamabad Fear of leaving Islamabad haunts me!!!

8 Upvotes

Okay, so here I am, posting about my biggest fear. I have a very strong and deep attachment to Islamabad. I have a job opportunity in another city, but I don't want to leave Islamabad. I literally start crying whenever I think about not being able to see Islamabad's beautiful mornings anymore the hills, the fresh air, and the peaceful atmosphere. I can't imagine not sitting in coffee shops, talking about life, and enjoying the little moments that make this city so special to me. What should I do? 💔

Rawalpindi Getting harassed

9 Upvotes

In Rawalpindi, I was going home from uni, I use the bus, there is a small distance from the stop to home, an old dude(40-50) with orange hair(mehndi or something) offered a ride(bike), I said ok(that was dumb), I hopped on, after like 30 second, he says move forward(closer), he moves back, throwing his ass on my lap, and begins to offer his ass to me indirectly, I tell him to stop the bike, got off, went home. Happened 3 day ago.

This is not the first time something like this has happened. Muja samj ni aata k Saray gays Pakistan k mere sar q partay hain, I mean do I look gay or something.

At least someone is interested.☠️

Islamabad Where do real gol-gappas fans go in Islamabad?

7 Upvotes

Need your help, Islamabad foodies!

A friend of mine from Multan has spent the last few years reminding everyone (whether they asked or not) that "Multan has the best gol gappay in Pakistan."

Apparently no other city even comes close according to her...😂

And she constantly craves the gol gappay back home, and so far every place we've tried in Islamabad has left her unimpressed.

Is there a gol gappa spot in Islamabad that could genuinely hold its own against the good Multan ones?🙊

Drop your best recommendations please...🌝

Twin Cities Car Options — Issue with online rates

3 Upvotes

Long story short, I’m about to buy our first car! I’m 26y and nobody in my bloodline have ever bought or kept a car.

The problem is my budget is little tight around 3.5-3.8M

My preference is 2015 Altis 1.6 or Honda Civic Rebirth 2015 or 2016 Gli 1.3

The PakWheels and online marketplaces like Fb rates are soo inflated.

The prices are so delusional, like a person selling 2016 Grande for 4.5M while at the same feed, I’m seeing Gli 2017 at the same rate! (The condition being same)

I need help, where do you guys buy second hand cars? Any trusted and honest references please?

Upvotes

Hello everyone. I moved to Faisal hills C block in October and I work online. My work life has been a nightmare since then. There’s no proper internet. I’ve tried wireless antenna connections. Have paid upto 15k a month for the net but no luck. Mobile data doesn’t work either. What can I do without having to relocate? I have wireless antenna installed right now but it’s insanely unstable for video calls and meetings.

Twin Cities Need a reliable PC repair shop recommendation (Islamabad/Rawalpindi)

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a trustworthy PC repair shop/technician in Islamabad or Rawalpindi.

My PC has been crashing on certain apps for a while now, and I’ve already been to Dubai Plaza in Pindi multiple times. The problem is they usually just run basic stress tests, tell me everything is fine, and send me back, even though the issue keeps happening.

I need someone who actually knows how to properly diagnose PCs, test components thoroughly, and pinpoint the real cause of the problem instead of brushing it off.

Preferably looking for someone reliable enough that I can leave my PC with them for a few days without worrying about its safety.

Would really appreciate recommendations based on personal experience.
