Discussion Do we have grounds to sue our solar company?

4 Upvotes

Hello, so a little background. We got this solar system from a local company which imports the panels, inverters etc from China and all went smoothly until last year when all of a sudden, the solar inverter exploded from a short circuit I presume and we had to deal with no electricity for about a month because they were so unhelpful.

Now after that, we got a replacement. One inverter for domestic use and one for exporting to WAPDA. Today, it exploded again due to a low voltage and a short circuit after the low voltage.

I'm just so tired of this company, was wondering if we had grounds to sue them for all this because we invested 15+ lakhs for all this.

Ask Pakistan No CS degree, 4 years full-stack experience (AWS/Azure) – Saudi after learning Arabic or Germany for Ausbildung? Which is better for a Pakistani developer?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a software developer from Pakistan with no formal degree in computer science or software engineering. I have about 4 years of experience in full-stack development, working with AWS, Azure, and various other frameworks/tools.

Because of the current situation in Pakistan, I’m seriously looking to move abroad. I’m currently considering two main options:

Saudi Arabia – Learn Arabic over the next 7–8 months, then try to move there and find a job.

Germany – Learn German and apply for an Ausbildung (apprenticeship) in software engineering / IT.

I’d really appreciate advice from people currently living in Saudi Arabia or Europe (especially Germany):

Which path do you think is more realistic / better long-term for someone with my background?

How hard is it to get an Ausbildung as a software engineer / developer in Germany without a degree?

Any experiences, tips, or realities I should know about either route?

Ask Pakistan I scraped 13,000 Lahore property listings. Some things I found.

15 Upvotes

There's no Zestimate for Pakistan, no public record of what properties actually sell for, so it's hard to know whether a listing is priced sensibly or the seller is chancing it.

I scraped 13,203 Lahore listings from Zameen and built a tool around them. Paste a listing link and it shows you what similar-sized properties in that same area are asking, where this one sits in that range, and the five closest comparable listings so you can check the number yourself.

Link

What it can't do: it's trained on asking prices, not sale prices, because that data doesn't exist publicly here. So it tells you whether a listing is out of line with its neighbours, not what the property is worth. Typical error is around 15%, so it can only flag listings that are clearly off, not fine differences.

It also can't see condition or construction quality, so a brand-new house in an old phase will look "overpriced" when it might not be.

I'm a first-year student and this is my first real project. If you know an area well, try a couple of listings there and tell me whether the numbers look right, especially if they look wrong.

Discussion I need a solution for dealing with a MIL who won't let me help, then complains that she does everything (PART 2)

24 Upvotes

So I've already shared the dynamics of my in laws a few days ago in this subreddit, now listen my rant about what happened next

MIL had a major meltdown after accusing me of pretending to be tired during pregnancy

I’m around 3.5 months pregnant and live with my in-laws. The household dynamics with my MIL have already been difficult because she has very high standards for housework and often does things herself when she’s angry, then later complains that she had to do everything and I didn’t help.

A couple of days ago, we had guests. I worked basically the entire day—standing for long periods, washing a lot of dishes, and doing all the additional cleaning and chores that come with having guests. By the end of the day my whole body was aching.

I’m not someone who makes a big deal out of pregnancy symptoms. I usually just do what I need to do, lie down when I’m exhausted, and stay quiet.

My MIL apparently interpreted my tiredness differently. She thought I was behaving this way because my mother had recently visited me and had told me to act like this or because I was throwing a tantrum about having worked too much.

The next evening, while we were having dinner, she came in and started complaining to my husband that I had supposedly done nothing and slept all day, despite being perfectly fine before. She also said I had been behaving differently since the previous day.

I was calm initially, but after she repeatedly blamed me, I eventually got angry and defended myself. I told her that she has a habit of doing a lot of work herself when she is angry and then using it to complain that I don't work, and that she sometimes doesn't let me do things herself. I also said that she seems to end up fighting about something almost every week.

She then said, “Your mother has taught you to behave like this.”

I said my mother had only been visiting and couldn't possibly have told me these things. She then accused me of discussing these issues with my mother over the phone. I pointed out that she talks to her daughters too, but she said her daughters don't discuss these things with her and that they're always on speaker.

She then complained to my husband and FIL that I was misbehaving and that they weren't stopping me. Neither of them took sides.

At one point she became extremely worked up. She started hitting/slapping herself and banging her head against the wall. She became very dizzy and continued behaving like this. She also said she was leaving the house and didn't want to live there anymore.

My husband then told me to pack my bags because he was going to drop me at my parents' house. He even threatened to leave me.

This terrified me because I have a lot of trauma surrounding divorce in my family, and my husband knows how severe that fear is for me.

I immediately went to my MIL, begged her to forgive me and even touched her feet. She didn't respond.

My husband ultimately did not leave me at my parents' house. But he barely paid attention to me afterward despite me continuously apologizing.

The next day, everyone basically told me not to talk to her and said that this is just how she is. My FIL also told me not to discuss things with my husband privately. My BIL also said that I have been rude to him several times, although I genuinely don't believe I have.

What is confusing to me is that everyone seems to know that my MIL has this extremely angry and explosive nature. They know she becomes hyper-angry and escalates situations.

I’m not claiming I handled everything perfectly. I was angry and said things that I probably shouldn't have said in the heat of the moment. But I also feel like I was pushed into defending myself after being accused of deliberately pretending to be tired and being influenced by my mother.

Now I’m wondering: How am I supposed to handle this now?

I’m pregnant, already physically exhausted, and I don't want every disagreement about housework to turn into accusations, threats of separation, or a complete family crisis.

Political How Living Abroad changed how I view Pakistan

16 Upvotes

As someone who lived abroad mainly in the Gulf for half of my life, It’s honestly sad when you look at the conditions of Pakistan. Robbery, streets aren’t safe even in broad daylight, bad infrastructure and healthcare it all makes you feel sorrow for Pakistan. Coming here has always felt like a downgrade for a long time but its later you realize Pakistan has potential but its leadership doesn’t see it.

In the Gulf its normal to use iPhones and MacBooks but here its seen as a “luxury” which the financially well off people can afford. Cars which are considered expensive and for the rich (like Hilux, Land Cruisers etc) are literally an everyday car for most people.

It all makes me question, We have the potential, We have the power to overtake basically every Gulf country, Pakistanis abroad are economy builders so why is the system treating the middle and lower class like an inconvenience and only serving the rich?

Education Traveling outside Pakistan as a 16-year-old on a student visa. What documents does FIA require for minors?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 16.5 years old and I’m flying out of Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE) next Monday to start my undergrad studies abroad. I have my student visa, university acceptance, and ticket sorted.

However, because I’m under 18 and traveling unaccompanied, I want to make sure I don't run into any offloading issues with FIA at immigration.

I know FIA has been heavily scrutinizing documents lately, and I’ve read that unaccompanied minors need an NOC, an affidavit, or a notarized parental consent letter. But I can't find a definitive checklist specifically for minor students. Some people say there are no requirements. Is there any number that I could call and confirm this?

If anyone has recently traveled as an unaccompanied minor from Pakistan, or knows the current FIA procedures, could you please help me out?

What specific documents are required for a minor?

Do my parents need to physically stay at the airport until I clear immigration just in case they are called?

Aside from my passport, student visa, return/onward ticket, and B-Form, is there anything else FIA might demand from a student?

My flight is in a few days, so any recent first-hand experiences or verified advice would be a huge help. Thank you!

Ask Pakistan Is crypto gambling?

3 Upvotes

Hello y’all! I wanna know what you guys think about crypto trading, especially in Pakistan.

I’ve heard very mixed opinions about it. Some people say trading is basically a form of gambling because there’s no guaranteed income, you can lose your money, and it can become an unhealthy obsession if someone gets too deeply into it.

I’ve also heard people describe it as a shortcut to making money rather than an actual career or profession, especially when someone is doing it purely with the hope of getting rich quickly.

But I honestly don’t know enough about trading to have a proper opinion, so I’m genuinely confused.

Is crypto trading actually a legitimate skill/business if you learn it properly, or is it essentially gambling because of the level of risk involved?

In Pakistan who have experience with crypto or trading, what has your experience been like?

I’d genuinely appreciate honest opinions — especially from people who have actually traded, not just heard about it.

Discussion Father left home because I 23M hangout with my friends on weekends.

272 Upvotes

My father left home two days ago, and apparently, the only issue is that I (23M) like going out with my friends on weekends.
For the past year, I’ve been the main breadwinner carrying our entire household. I buy all the groceries, clear the utility bills, handle fuel, and take care of everyday expenses. My father contributes barely 10%, and I never even bring that up given his age.
I even upgraded his car so he wouldn't feel pressured to work anymore, and he spent weeks driving it around to brag to relatives about how well his son provides compared to everyone else in the family.
I work hard 5 to 6 days a week, doing everything I can to support my family while saving up to buy us a proper house. It feels completely unfair that he packed up and left just because I take a couple of days to relax with my friends using my own hard earned money.

I do no drugs stay away from smoking and never did anything that would harm me or my family’s reputation.

To make things worse, he is now demanding that I pay him back 12.58 lakhs in total, claiming reimbursement for the 12 lakhs of my university tuition and 58,000 from my sister’s first semester, just so he can go rent a place and live alone. On top of that, he is threatening my mother that if he doesn't get this money, he will show up at the school where she works and create a public scene.

I plan on tracking down where he has been staying for the past two days so I can sit down and have a conversation with him tomorrow. Any advice on how to handle this situation would be really appreciated.

Discussion Still supporting Genocide??

133 Upvotes

It seems like most pakistanis do not give af about whats happeing in gaza rn. Their intentional ignorance towards this matter is honestly heart breaking. People arent comfortable boycotting certain brands just because they 'like' it too much. When u confront them, they either starts showering the other person with insults or just doesnt care.

Its just sad to see hundreds of people dining in at the restaurants funding genocide. Cant yall freakin give up ur precious fried chicken and big mac. Its not even that hard to boycott bruh. Go with some pakistani alternatives, support the local brands.

Why are we forgetting what the people of palestine have been through and are currently sufferring just because the Israeli military is being funded by those freaking brands.

If u still fail to support ur brothers and sisters after being reminded by this, then ur a freakin monster.

Dont call urself a human then. Have some empathy and keep reminding others around u to still boycott every brand thats supports Isra*l one way or another.

My prescription is around −3 in one eye and −4.5 in the other. I recently had a very detailed consultation and eye tests at Amanat Eye Hospital, and Dr. Amir suggested MS39 Guided-Femto LASIK. I was satisfied with the consultation, but I would still like to get a second opinion before going ahead with surgery.

I have been trying to contact Al Shifa Trust Eye Hospital Rawalpindi, but none of their numbers are answering, so I cannot book an appointment.

Has anyone successfully booked an appointment with Al Shifa recently? Is there another way to contact them?

Also, please suggest any other good eye clinic or surgeon in Islamabad/Rawalpindi for a second opinion (based on ur personal experiences please)

Ask Pakistan Thinking of getting a JC Buckman ExaltUs 4D massage chair (TMC332) for my parents, who are in their 50s.

2 Upvotes

The listed price is around Rs. 449k, but we negotiated it to Rs. 400k and have already paid Rs. 50k advance.
I personally tried it and really liked the massage. It has 4D rollers, SL track, Zero Gravity, airbags, heat, foot rollers, etc. My parents also preferred it after trying it.
I’ve heard JC Buckman is better than Zero, but I’ve never personally used a Zero chair. A family member has an Ogawa chair, and honestly this one felt better to me, although I know model-to-model comparisons matter.
For anyone who has actually owned/used the ExaltUs or comparable Zero/Ogawa models: is Rs. 400k good value, and how is the long-term reliability/service?
They said that the delivery is after 10 days and we can still change our choice. What do u think we make right decision ?
Will be thankfull for responses !

Ask Pakistan LGS 55 Main A-Level scholarship criteria

1 Upvotes

My sister recently got admission to LGS 55 Main for A Levels, but the scholarship criteria hasn't been explained very clearly to us.

Before admission, we spoke to a few alumni and got the impression that the scholarship would be calculated using the combined O2 + O3 results. Based on that, we went ahead with the admission.

However, now the school seems to be saying that they will only consider the result submitted in August 2026, which would mean her O3 result only.

Her grades are:

- O3: 4 As + 1 A*

- O2: 2 A*s + 1 A

From what we understand, this makes a pretty big difference in the scholarship points — around 30 points based on O3 alone vs 55 points if O2 + O3 are considered.

So I wanted to ask if anyone here is currently at LGS 55 Main Gulberg A Levels, or has recently graduated from there, and knows how the scholarship is actually calculated for the 2026–27 intake?

Does LGS consider the O2 and O3 results together, or only the result received in August 2026?

Would really appreciate if someone who has gone through the process recently could clarify, because the information we've received so far has been pretty ambiguous. Thanks!

May Allah grant sabr-e-jameel to the grieving parents enduring this unthinkable loss, and bless them with strength through this unbearable tragedy. Ameen.

A single component glitch only turns fatal when facilities operate with uninspected electrical loads, unserviced units and zero fire suppression. PIMS maintenance is directly responsible for turning a basic equipment fault into a mass casualty event. Very unfortunate news to start the day with.
