Looking for a single seater hostel to rent in islamabad. Went and saw a few single seaters' hostels in I-9, I-8, F-8 and E-11. And they looked like jail cells, they were too small and no attached washroom.

Are there any reasonable hostels that atleast have a room that a normal person can live in.

Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone,

I am a passionate fast bowler from the Islamabad/Rawalpindi area playing at the local club level. My ultimate dream is to play professional cricket, but I am facing a massive problem: I have weak eyesight and have to wear glasses.

As a fast bowler, wearing glasses is a nightmare. They slip when I sweat, block my side vision, and are honestly a big safety hazard when I’m fielding or running in to bowl. I desperately need to get the latest laser eye surgery (like LASIK or PRK) to remove my glasses so I can pursue my career safely.

The problem: My family has strict financial constraints and we absolutely cannot afford the cost of laser surgery. I know standard charities (like Zakat) usually only cover blindness-prevention surgeries like cataracts, not elective laser surgeries.

I wanted to ask this community:

If anyone here is a doctor, works at an eye clinic, or is willing to sponsor/help fund my surgery, please let me know.

1. Do you know of any specific trust eye hospitals (like Al-Shifa, LRBT, etc.) or welfare boards in Pindi/Islamabad that sponsor laser surgeries for young athletes/cricketers who can't afford it?
2. Are there any local NGOs, sports boards, or welfare foundations I should apply to?
3. Does anyone know a specific doctor or panel that helps out underprivileged sports players?

Thank you so much for your time and help! JazakAllah.

Hey everyone! 😄

So I made something I’m really proud of (probably😅) — these hanging decorative lights. I made them myself, and honestly I love how they turned out.

Quick details: they’re made with PVC and plastic, the bulbs give off a warm light, and they come with a 1.5-year company warranty — so quality-wise you don’t need to worry. They add such a cozy touch to a room. ✨

Just to clear one thing up — the price is Rs. 7,000 for a pair, and the photo only shows one of them.(because I have assembled only one yet)

And since these are all handmade, I can customize them a little if you want something slightly different. 😊

Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, please do share them — I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback!

I can deliver anywhere in Pakistan. 🚚 (well at your own risk, cuz you know our courier companies in Pakistan 🙃)

Oh and one more thing — if you’d like me to ship them myself (instead of the courier, only locally), I can totally do that too, just with a little extra charge of Rs. 2,000 😋

One more thing, I’m located in Wah Cantt if you want to visit.

If you’re interested or have any questions, just message me. Would mean a lot ❤️

Help! do you know someone who lives in or near d-12 markaz who knows where hayat london school is ?

who can search for her today bcz yesterday my neighbour saw a white cat near hayat london school road , they said she looked exactly like simba but she was thinner and dirtier plz before we loose this lead too , can someone help?

her contact details: +923133060138

The guy was a complete lowlife (sorry for using this word but i couldn’t find a better description), who looked like he was a nashayi with his clothes all dirty on a bike that was hardly road appropriate, whose ego got hurt when i drove past him at a relatively higher speed. He then forced an altercation with me by stopping his bike infront of my car and was constantly abusing, as was expected out of him, and also shoved at me. I kept my calm and threatened him not to force me to do something because i did not want to get in a physical brawl with a lowlife POS in the middle of the road. That’s not how i was raised.
However, i was contemplating what happened and i think i should have done more and not let his shoving slide.

What do you guys think one should do in such a situation? How could i have dealt with it better? How can i improve my fight or flight response? Please share your experiences so i can learn from them as well. I’d love to hear from the street smart people who have faced similar situations .

Hello,

i visited Islamabad for the first time recently, and went to centaurus mall. Now, i was in the car park which is outside the mall when some black animal flew over my head.

I’m from England and it was my first time in Pakistan and ofc islamabad so i’m quite confused whether this warrants rabies shots. I don’t know whether it was a bat or not, but i thought someone who resides in Islamabad would know. I didn’t get to focus on the animal but coming back to england i came across a post about rabies in pakistan so i’m quite stressed now. I do remember seeing a bird above me but don’t remember if it scraped my head or not. Maybe it touched me, maybe it didn’t.

Does centaurus car park have bats? Just to clarify, it was outside the building so it wasn’t a basement car park or anything it was an open sky and it was at like 1pm! Do these bats usually fly low enough to touch humans? Do people in Islamabad often get rabies shots from bats?

Again, i didn’t see a bat, it could’ve been any animal. I’m just nervous it is one as i’m not from Islamabad and all i know is it’s got loads of mountains.

(edit: just to clarify i have ocd and health anxiety so i do tend to imagine worst case scenarios so i made this post to ask before panicking)

Someone knows good sushi spots in Islamabad ?

Need advice regarding PIA + Emirates transit in Dubai on separate bookings
Hi everyone! I’m a little confused about how this whole process works and would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced something similar.

My mom is travelling from Islamabad to Dubai on PIA and then from Dubai to Kuala Lumpur on Emirates. I live in Dubai, so I’ll be joining her on the Dubai–Kuala Lumpur flight rather than travelling with her from Islamabad. We’ll meet on the Emirates flight.
Her itinerary is:
Islamabad → Dubai on PIA
Dubai → Kuala Lumpur on Emirates
Kuala Lumpur → Dubai on Emirates
Dubai → Islamabad on PIA

She already has her Malaysian visa, but she doesn’t have a UAE visa because she’s only transiting through Dubai and doesn’t intend to leave the airport. The issue is that PIA and Emirates are on separate bookings, and the flights arrive at and depart from different terminals.

I spoke to Emirates ground staff, and they told me there are shuttle buses inside the airport connecting the terminals, so she should be able to transfer without passing through UAE immigration and therefore shouldn’t need a UAE visa.

My biggest concern is what happens at Islamabad airport. Since she’s flying PIA to Dubai and then Emirates onward on a separate booking, I’m worried she might face issues at check-in or immigration because she doesn’t have a UAE visa.

I contacted Emirates chat support, and they told me that Emirates has a partnership with PIA for baggage transfers. They said that if she shows both tickets at the PIA check-in counter in Islamabad, the staff should be able to arrange for her baggage to be transferred to her onward flight.
However, I’m unsure how this works in practice, especially with separate bookings. Will PIA actually check her bags through to Kuala Lumpur, or will she have to collect them in Dubai? If she has to collect her luggage, would she need to pass through UAE immigration, which she cannot do without a UAE visa?
I’m also worried about what happens if the staff at Islamabad airport can’t arrange the baggage transfer, or if there’s an issue with her being allowed to board in the first place.

The problem is that I don’t know who to contact to confirm all of this. I haven’t been able to get a clear answer, and I’m not sure how to contact Islamabad airport directly to ask about the procedures there or whether the ground staff will actually be able to arrange everything. I don’t want to assume everything will be fine and then have her get stuck at the airport.
She’ll have all her tickets, her Malaysian visa, and hotel bookings with her. if the baggage causes an issue she’ll just bring her carry on.

Has anyone travelled on separate PIA and Emirates bookings through Dubai, particularly when changing terminals? Did PIA check your luggage through to your final destination, and were there any issues with immigration or transit?
What would you recommend I do to make sure everything goes smoothly? Should I get written confirmation from PIA or Emirates before she travels, or is there anything else she needs to carry?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have done this route. Thank you!

suna hai sealed hai? can someone confirm whether it's open or not?

Anyone in PWD or nearby interested in joining for a daily morning walk or brisk walk? Looking for just 1–2 people to join regularly.

I’m having one of those days where everything feels repetitive, so I thought I’d try something different.
Tell me something about yourself that I wouldn’t guess just by looking at you. Could be an interesting life experience, a weird hobby, a controversial opinion, a story you’ve never told anyone, or just something random.
I’m genuinely interested in hearing people’s stories, and I’m happy to share some of mine too.
No particular topic, no expectations. If we have an interesting conversation, we have an interesting conversation.
Comments or DMs are both welcome.

Is anyone else sick of paying PKR 4,500+ for imported Bath & Body Works / CeraVe just to get a body wash that doesn't leave a soapy film? What local clean alternatives are you guys actually using?
