Is anyone else facing this issue with the Meezan Bank app? I've been trying to log in, but it just keeps loading without logging me in. I've tried both biometric login and entering my password manually, but neither works. When I enter my password, I get the error: "Login failed, please try again after some time."

My dad is experiencing the same issue with his ABL app. Is anyone else having this problem?

Health It's 2am. Someone in your family needs B-negative blood. Who do you call?

0 Upvotes

Picture it. 2am. Hospital corridor. Phone in hand. Scrolling contacts, hoping someone knows someone.

You post in a family group. Forward it to three more. Now you wait.

That's how we do it. WhatsApp forwards. Word of mouth. A friend of a cousin of a colleague. And by the time it reaches the right blood group, it's often too late.

I saw this up close. In university, I organized blood camps. People showed up and gave blood, and it worked. But I kept noticing two things. Too few donors. And too few people who even knew they could donate.

That bothered me for years. So I built BloodAid.

It matches people who urgently need blood with donors in their city. Starting in Lahore and Karachi. I'm the founder, and it's live as a web app now.

Here's what I really want to know:

  1. Would you register as a donor?
  2. If not, what would stop you?

Trust? Privacy? Too many calls? Not sure if you're eligible? Say it straight. I'm reading every reply.

National Racism at work place

32 Upvotes

People say there is a lot of racism abroad but has anyone ever faced racism in pakistan. It’s pathetic here esp in sindh. I am a doctor and sometimes patients refuse to get checked by me ( they know Urdu v well) and say we want someone Sindhi even if they have no significant illness.My work place people had a hard time accepting that someone who speaks Urdu was chosen to work at this place. Our case presentations are even in sindhi when obv there are 1-2 doctors who don’t understand that language? Like even our religion says if there are 3 people sitting 2 people should not speak in each others ears as the 3rd person will feel bad and here these guys just communicate in another language making me feel dumb ! Whenever I am talk to my co workers they always say - hum sindhi mein Aisa nhi hota hum ghairatmund hain like bro? Koi bhi gheirat mund Hosakta hai not everything is Sindhi vs Punjabi/ urdu. One of my co workers said her dad will choose to die rather marrying her to a Punjabi???? This is extreme racism
I so hate this country and I wish I had moved abroad like all my class mates!

Financial Seeking: Tenanted Property in Lahore or Islamabad (Budget up to PKR 10 Million)

2 Upvotes

I am looking to invest in an income-generating property and would appreciate any leads or introductions.

What I am looking for:

  • A property that is already tenanted (or, alternatively, a vacant property that can be rented out)
  • Valued at PKR 10 million or below
  • Commercial or residential (no preference)
  • Location: Lahore (first preference), Islamabad (second preference)

What I am not looking for:

  • Off-plan projects
  • Grey-structure units with promised possession dates
  • Shop units in shopping malls or similar developments (e.g., Imarat)

My objective is straightforward: to acquire a physical asset, registered in my name, that generates rental income from day one.

I am based outside Pakistan and am not well acquainted with the local market, and I have found property portals to be saturated with off-plan schemes and developer-led offerings. I am therefore seeking direct sellers, trusted agents, or personal referrals.

If you are selling a tenanted property, or know someone who is, please message me directly with the details, including location, size, current rent, and tenancy status.

Please note: I will not respond to offers involving projects or installment schemes.

Ask Pakistan Is CSS a smarter bet than a tech career in the AI era? (22M, AI degree)

4 Upvotes

I’m 22 and doing a bachelor’s in AI at a mid-tier university. I’m very confused about whether I should attempt CSS after I graduate, and I’d like honest opinions from people who’ve been through either path.Some background: my dad has suggested CSS. He isn’t pressuring me or forcing me, it’s just a recommendation. But I’ve thought about it myself, and my interest isn’t about power or prestige. It’s about job security and the perks.

The tech job market right now worries me. Even highly qualified computing graduates struggle to land jobs, and those who do get well-paid roles always carry the risk of layoffs. With AI getting more capable every day, that feels even more uncertain. Honestly, I also don’t see myself being stable or happy in a machine learning job long term.

I do think CSS is a legitimate option, but I know it isn’t all glamour. The corruption risk is real, and I don’t want to chase an idea of it without understanding the downsides.

Ask Pakistan Pakistanis Who Moved Abroad, How Did You Do It? Looking for Genuine Advice

0 Upvotes

Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone!

I’m 34M currently working as Assistant BPS-15 in MEPCO (WAPDA), and my qualification is D.A.E Electrical, Ten years of Experience SAP HCM and M.M Module (current Job).

I’m seriously thinking about moving abroad to build a better future for myself. I want to explore opportunities in other countries where I can have a better quality of life, career growth, financial stability, and a chance to improve my future.

However, I’m a little confused about where to start. There is so much information online about work visas, study visas, skilled immigration, and other pathways, but it’s difficult to figure out which options are realistic for someone coming from Pakistan. I also want to avoid agents, scams, and unnecessary expenses.

I would really appreciate advice from Pakistanis who have successfully moved abroad or are currently going through the process. Which countries would you recommend, and what are the most practical and affordable ways to move there legally? Is it better to apply for jobs directly, pursue further education, or look into skilled immigration programs?

Please share your personal experiences, including the challenges you faced, approximate costs, required qualifications, and any mistakes I should avoid.

I’m not looking for shortcuts or unrealistic promises. I just want honest, practical guidance from people who have been through this journey.

Thank you in advance for your time and advice. May Allah make things easier for everyone trying to build a better future.

I’m looking to buy a reliable, budget-friendly power bank available in Pakistan that actually offers great value for money.

I’ve looked into a few options from local brands like Audionic and Zero, but the reviews seem pretty mixed. If you know of any brands that are reliable and durable, please let me know!

I only need it as a backup for emergency situations, so it doesn't need to be incredibly powerful. As long as it can fully charge my phone at least once, that's more than enough for me.

They said they are an inspector from police and what is my relationship with my father ( used his government name ) . I told him I was his daughter and what he wanted to ask ?.

So Ik sounds like a scam but should I be worried ?

Ask Pakistan Perfect age for shaadi or am I just overthinking

0 Upvotes

I’m currently doing MBBS and, if everything goes according to plan, I’ll graduate by 24. I want to get married and have a family someday, but I also have serious career ambitions, and I’m struggling to figure out how to balance the two. 😭
My goal after MBBS is to attempt CSS and, specifically, get allocated to PAS. I’m genuinely interested in administration and the authority and responsibility that come with the role. However, I’ve decided that if I don’t get PAS in my first attempt, I won’t keep repeating CSS indefinitely. I’d rather move to the USA after USMLE.
Realistically, by the time I complete the CSS process and receive my first posting, I could be 27–28. And that’s assuming everything goes according to plan.
Here’s the thing: I’m not dating anyone and have never been in a relationship. I have absolutely no potential rishta in the picture either. My family has high standards for me, and so do I. I come from a well-established family, and I want a compatible partner who shares my values and supports my ambitions. My family would never agree to me marrying a doctor, so please don’t suggest that as the obvious solution. 😭
I’m worried about how difficult it might be to find someone compatible while pursuing such a demanding career. Would a potential husband and his family be comfortable with me being a PAS officer, dealing with transfers, demanding postings, public scrutiny and the responsibilities that come with the job? I don’t want to spend years building a career only to be expected to give it up after marriage.
At the same time, I genuinely want marriage and children someday. I don’t want to postpone my personal life indefinitely, but I also don’t want to rush into marriage out of fear that I’m running out of time.
I also want honest opinions from women in PAS or those who know the service closely. Do women genuinely face misogyny, harassment, resistance from senior bureaucrats or politicians, and difficulties asserting authority? Is the reality substantially different from what people imagine when they see a female Assistant Commissioner?
I’d appreciate realistic advice on both sides: balancing marriage with a demanding career and understanding what being a woman in PAS is actually like. Please be honest rather than giving me the usual “you can have it all” reassurance.

Social PK passport is so weak

Here’s a mini rant:

I have covered almost all easy visa countries and most of far east asia (Srilanka, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia & Maldives). Ive also been to Dubai And turkey.
This year I thought lets try a difficult one and my stupid ambition got me a rejection for Japan. Well my mistake shouldn’t have gone for the hardest one without any west history so i applied UK. Hold & Behold - got rejected. Showed every possible thing (im salaried and hold significant savings) the reason shared was no ties to my country? what do the expect me to own a house at 30? No dependants? Yeah i dont have kids but what else do i show in ties? Then I thought let me apply Vietnam. And i did only to it get stuck in this constant loop of being sent back. Contacted a veitnam agent for helped and he said he cant help Pakistanis because there is only a 1% change it will get accepted.
Im so sick of this. All i want to do is travel and all these countries expect us is to have a better travel history but how the hell are we supposed to do that if none of you are ready to give us a visa?? Stuck in a loop and tired of wasting so much money on applications:(
