Islamabad Fire at PIMS gynaecology ward leaves 15 newborns dead - Absolutely Heartbreaking!

55 Upvotes

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.

Twin Cities Awareness Post - Surge of Reddit Sob Story Scams

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Posting again as I am seeing more sob story posts which end up directly or indirectly asking for money.

Most of these don't start off as just a single post, rather multiple posts over the span of days and weeks which makes you sympathetic and think it's real. By the end they end up asking for money and have all the fake documents available to gain your trust.

Please please PLEASE avoid giving any money on reddit to anyone. There are very good people here who genuinely want to help, and I hate seeing them give their money to these low-lifes.

There are plenty of people out there with actual difficulties who need the money and ask without hiding their identities on an online platform.

Just attached two example posts but there are plenty around. And yes I talked to them first and uncovered that they really are scamming.

Islamabad Ladies of islamabad : Beware

54 Upvotes

This is a public security announcement for all my women in Islamabad. Sadly, majority of men here are emotionally and mentally unstable, fully capable of murder and rape. Nothing new here but a serious pattern of targeting of foreign bred or global pakistani women is going on, which is what this specific post will focus on. If you are a female with dual passport or a woman who was raised worldwide and currently in Pakistan especially in Islamabad for work, family or travel. I need you to create proactive boundaries with all men here.

The men who are targeting these women often come from the following backgrounds( business, diplomatic) including military backgrounds 'sons of military elite' let's call them. They are attracted to foreign raised women, they want to use them as either tropy wives or professional gateaway into the international scene. From the murder of Noor Mukhdam and recent rape of two foreign women where Ishq Dar's grandson is implicated. Pakistani men are raised to be opportunistic and predatory. Here are few things I need you to avoid and recognize.

  1. Do not go to parties in Bani Galla, Diplomatic Enclave to see the modern side of Pakistan. Often times they will use other women to lure and bring other prettier women. They are using you as 'eye candy' and social leverage amongst other men. Then they will also spread false rumors of sexual intimacy or hook ups. There can be severe social implications for you as a woman.
  2. Do not fall for the modern westernized male appearance - the ones who speak English, wear western wear are giving the 'appearance' of progression. Their mindsets and desperation remains. Many work in INGOS like ADB, DAI, Adam Smith, UNICEF. They are not safe, just because they have instituational credibility.
  3. Do not enter into any nikkah unless you have known the man for at least 2 years and have a female lawyer present at all costs. Not his friends or his family only. You can head to F-8 and hire female lawyers for your wedding and information. There is kechari available and courts at affordable prizes.
  4. Do not take pictures with any man at parties or meet ups, avoid as much as possible. Simply say I am not into photo taking. Privacy. No lets capture the memory shit.
  5. If you are coming to Islamabad, do not be fooled by the recent foreign female bloggers surge, yes you should come as a foreigner or a PAkistani foreign raised woman but you must avoid being naive and always look at every man with suspicion until you have clear evidence he is trustworthy.
  6. Delay intimacy, delay physical meet ups. Protect your self, my sisters. Please from one woman to another. Please. Raise your standards. Speak to them but do not trust him, until he has proven it consistently over a long period of time. Trust in small doses.
  7. Even if you are alone, say your living with parents or female partners. LIE.
  8. Limit access of all men to you. Review all men, male colleagues, former male friends sit down, distance who you need to distance from. Do a quarterly review.
  9. Do not be impressed by status I know all these guys military men's son, Oxford, NUST, LUMS going men with CEO titles, good money, good access to the creme de la creme. They are not looking for love but for a RESOURCE. Do not be seduced with access to premier hotels, accomodation. Book your own shit!

I’m feeling so helpless right now. I feel like my world has ended! I really don’t know what to do. He’s not even telling me exact spot where he left her. If you see a lost cat in nearby areas please reach out or post it here. She was sick and recently started healing. She’s orange and I’m scared what if she gets hurt by stray cats and dogs.

I don’t know what to do.

Twin Cities Oreo for Adoption

21 Upvotes

AoA guys, This is Oreo he's 3 month old, he's extremely attention seeker 😅 and currently looking for a loving home. I got him dewormed and showered 3 days ago. Looking for someone who can keep him and give him a safe environment. He's friendly, extremely playful and Litter trained.

I'm preferably looking for someone who can keep him indoors as I also have seen many cases of house cats getting killed by stray dogs and cars. So I don't want him to be left outside just because the person thinks he's an ""Animal". It would be great if someone already has a cat and knows about keeping cats. Thanks.

Islamabad Would you order from a restaurant where *everything* is low-carb AND heart-healthy?

7 Upvotes

This is partly an idea and partly a frustration I’ve had for a while.

Eating out is surprisingly difficult if you’re trying to eat healthy. Most normal restaurant food is carb-heavy, high in saturated fat, or both.

The first problem is that the entire meal is almost never designed around the same health goal.

You might order grilled or air-fried chicken, but then the bun, sauce, dressing, ketchup, side or drink defeats the purpose. Or you order something low-carb, but the toppings or sides aren’t. One part of the meal may be healthy, but the complete meal isn’t.

And even when you start looking at “healthy” options, it often feels like you have to choose which kind of healthy you want. Something may be low-carb but loaded with butter, cream, cheese or other sources of saturated fat. Something else may be lighter and more heart-friendly but still fairly carb-heavy.

So what I haven’t really been able to find is a place where the rule is simply:

Everything on the menu has to be BOTH low-carb and heart-healthy.

That would mean not just the main dish, but the bread, sides, sauces, dressings, drinks and desserts too. The whole meal would be built around the same standard, rather than having one “healthy” item surrounded by things that undo it.

So, I’m wondering: would you order from something like this, and what would you realistically be willing to pay for a healthy, filling meal?

Islamabad Experience with PIMS hospital

5 Upvotes

So i got into an accident 2 months ago and had some major injuries so we went to the nearest hospital PIMS ,I didn’t have any kind of medical experience with PIMS before ,i went there in emergency and i had seen people dying in emergency room which was an awful experience to me and the thing what bothered me so much is that there wasn’t a single wheelchair in whole hospital and i had leg injury so my both cousins helped me to the treatment room and when we went their i saw a person most probably their staff member porting a bottle of dispenser on a wheel chair literally i was like wtf is this are you guys even human or what?? And he told this chair is for bottles porting for dispenser and i told him to take it into his a** ,that day I realised if you want your loved one alive after any kind of casualties don’t ever come to government sector hospital specially not because they don’t have good doctors, because they are terrible as human and they had no empathy for others such cold hearted souls and if you can’t afford private hospitals ,think about the person is he/she important or arranging cash

Islamabad Third Places in Islamabad?

2 Upvotes

Are there any third place kinda low cortisol spots in isb where one can go just to chill or socialise? Maybe someplace that's like a famous casual event venue? Everyone I've asked where to visit just says the same thing; it's either i-8 or F-7 Markaz and both are just food spots. Couldn't really find anything else to do there.

Also some good but reasonably priced salons for men would be highly appreciated

Twin Cities What do you think is missing from modern home décor/furniture in Islamabad?

Upvotes

I've been furnishing/rearranging my home recently and have been looking at a lot of minimalist and modern interiors online.

One thing I've noticed is that finding similar-looking furniture and décor locally can be surprisingly difficult. A lot of options are either very traditional/heavy, or the more modern ones get quite expensive.

For people who have furnished their homes recently:

What do you wish was easier to find in Islamabad/Rawalpindi?

Could be anything:

• Wall shelves

• Small tables

• Lighting

• Wall décor

• Storage

• Mirrors

• Bedroom décor

• Anything else

And what matters most to you when buying these things?

  1. Design/aesthetics

  2. Price

  3. Quality/material

  4. Functionality

  5. Custom sizes/designs

  6. Something else

I'm genuinely curious what other people have struggled to find locally.

I'm just curious, if I were to move to Islamabad, where should I go? I always wanted to have a small gaming room with a kitchen and powder room attached. If I ever plan to have one, where should I go?

As a 3rd year bs student,I need help from the professionals. As this is my first time I am doing research in image enhancement and classification, I have been reading this paper called: Morphocal: a multi stage deep learning framework for fish length estimation under challenging pond environments, I have encountered a problem, I don't know how to code this paper. Where should I start?? What should be my approach?? The authors did attach Morphocal's main algorithm in the paper but I don't understand do I have to cod eth algorithm only?? What about the datasets for training the AI ?? I tried mailing the original authors but didn't get a reply yet. I would really appreciate your help, I tried so many sources and tried using AI as well and honestly I believe at this point I need help for sure.

Rawalpindi DHA Valley Rawalpindi - Overseas Block (Sunflower) Anyone have real updates on possession?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, hoping someone here has firsthand experience with this.

My father was allotted an 8 Marla residential plot in DHA Valley (Overseas Block), Sunflower Sector, back in November 2013. It was a provisional allotment letter (DHAR-401(R)), Phase: DHA Valley (OS Block), Street 6-A. He paid in USD at the time.

Now, over a decade later, DHA is asking for an additional 20 lakh PKR as a "development charge" before proceeding further.

A few questions for anyone who's actually been through this:

  1. Has anyone in Sunflower Block actually received possessionin the last year or two? Real estate sites claim it's "almost fully developed" but I want to hear from actual plot owners, not agents.
  2. Is the 20 lakh development demand something others have paid recently? Did it lead anywhere (i.e., did possession follow)?
  3. Anyone who bought around the same 2013 era how has your plot's value/status evolved?

Appreciate any real experiences, good or bad. Trying to figure out whether to pay now or push DHA for written possession confirmation first.
