‎Women can’t drive.

‎Okay, before your moral outrage fully loads, let me clarify: I don’t mean can’t in the biological sense, I mean can’t in the way I can’t stop existing in absurd situations life insists on me.

‎

‎I live in a cantonment, peaceful, discipline, soldiers walking, the kind of place where you expect calm… UNTIL you start running, i’m a casual runner, nothing fancy but four times now, four separate mornings of human optimism, I’ve almost died, every time, the driver was a woman.

‎

‎Today, she didn’t just almost hit me, she did, launched me like some divine punishment for existing on the same road as her and honestly, maybe it was my fault for daring to believe traffic laws applied equally to everyone and I'm sure she probably convinced I was the one who dented her car with my ribcage.

‎

‎Either way, I’m tired, my faith in traffic laws is gone and if one more person merges into me mid run, I might just start jogging in circles in my living room instead.

‎

‎I know what you’re thinking, ''Don’t Generalize" and you’re right, i know correlation isn’t causation and anecdote isn’t data, i’m sure there are extraordinary women drivers out there, probably the same way there are polite people on twitter, they exist, just not in my timeline.

‎

‎But after being nearly reincarnated four times by the same demographic, I’m beginning to suspect there’s some metaphysical pattern at play, maybe I’m the chosen sacrifice of the cosmic comedy, maybe the gods of irony decided “This one shall die, not by sword or sickness but by a honda civic with tinted windows and a self proclaimed independent woman”

‎

‎I’ve read great philosophers but none of them prepared me for the absurdity of sprinting for self improvement and getting vehicularly humbled by someone trying to take a selfie mid turn.

‎

‎Maybe it’s not a gender issue, maybe it’s divine art.

‎But next time, if I see another car swerving toward me, I might just accept it, perhaps that’s what enlightenment looks like resigned, airborne and whispering to myself as I ascend: Women can’t drive.

Hey everyone,

I work at a BPO in Saddar, and I’m currently struggling with my commute from Wah Cantt.

My shift ends at around 4 AM but the wagons for Wah Cantt/Taxila from Saddar only start leaving around 6 AM so after finishing a long shift, I have to sit outside and wait for around two hours before I can even start travelling home.

The other side is also difficult. I have to leave Wah Cantt around 4 PM to reach my office by 6 PM because local transport takes so long, overall, I’m spending around 4, 5 extra hours outside of my actual job every day just because of travelling and waiting and it’s becoming extremely hectic.

So I wanted to ask: does anyone here work similar night shift timings in Saddar and travel from Wah Cantt, Taxila or nearby areas? Or does anyone know someone who does?

I’d really appreciate connecting with people who have the same route or schedule. Maybe we could find a better way to commute, share transport or figure out a more practical solution.

I’m thinking of joining touchstone in F5, Islamabad, shift is 7pm to 5am, monday to friday but I live in wah cantt.

I contacted a few pick & drop services for monthly charges and that one guy said 80k de dena, Bhai itni tou salary nahi hai😭

Public transport seems difficult at those hours and I don’t want to live in a hostel either.

Anyone else travel wah to islamabad for night shifts? Is there a cheap monthly pick & drop, bike option or anyone I could share transport costs with?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Raftaar please shut up for 5 minutes

I actually really like legacy. It's a great addition to hiphop, the contestants are interesting and I genuinely like the whole concept of having two rappers run the show independently.

BUT BRO

Why does raftaar turn EVERY SINGLE JUDGING MOMENT into a TED Talk?

KR$NA:

“Good rhyme scheme, delivery was weak here, you could've done this better”

Raftaar:

“When I was coming up in the streets of delhi, there was a time when I was standing under a streetlight at 2:37 am and I realized something about hiphop…”

BRO WE ASKED YOU IF THE VERSE WAS GOOD

Like bro PLEASE

I don't know if it's the dramatic voice, the over explaining, the constant life stories, or the whole “I am the OG elder of Indian hiphop” persona but he is so corny, I can't stand his voice tbh.

And I'm sorry but I've never really been a fan of his rap voice either, that forced deep voice sometimes sounds like he's trying to summon tupac, bohemia and the entire history of hiphop simultaneously before delivering one bar.

I know he's accomplished. I know he's contributed to the scene. I'm not denying any of that.

I just find his whole persona extremely performative and corny sometimes.

Meanwhile KR$NA is sitting there like a disappointed professor.

Hey everyone!

Is anyone here from Rawalpindi/Islamabad?

I'm planning to watch Spiderman tomorrow (Sunday) at Cinepax Jinnah Park, the problem is that I've been trying to book my ticket online for the last two days but I forgot the password to my sadapay account and I don't have any other debit card to use because of that, I've already missed two days of shows.

I live a bit far from the cinema so I'm worried that if I just show up tomorrow, the show might be sold out or only the worst seats will be left.

I wanted to ask two things:

Does anyone know if Cinepax reserves seats over the phone and lets you pay when you arrive?

If not, would anyone be willing to book a ticket for me? I can immediately send you the full amount through JazzCash.

I'd really appreciate any help or advice. Thanks!

I'm trying to rewatch Spider Man: No Way Home before Brand New Day comes out but my internet is so bad that streaming is basically impossible.

Does anyone know the easiest way to download it for offline viewing?

I'm planning to watch Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and want the best possible cinema experience in Islamabad/Rawalpindi.

Is there any IMAX cinema here or at least something close to an IMAX experience in terms of screen size, picture quality and sound?

I'm currently thinking about going to Cinepax at Jinnah Park (Saddar, Rawalpindi) since it's the closest to me. Has anyone been there recently? How's the screen, sound, seating and overall experience? Would you recommend it for a movie like The Odyssey?

If there are better options, I'd really appreciate your recommendations and why you think they're better.

Hey everyone, is anyone else having this issue with the OnStream app lately?

The streaming works fine for me but the download option suddenly stopped working, every time I try to download something it just fails or says the method is unavailable.

I thought maybe it was my phone or internet but I’ve seen a few people mentioning the same thing. I already tried reinstalling and clearing cache but nothing changed.

My internet is pretty bad so streaming online all the time isn’t really possible for me. If anyone knows a fix for this or has better apps for Android where downloading works properly, let me know.
