She lost her mom when she was 15.

There's no age when we stop needing our mothers. We always need them.

May Allah protect every mother who is still with us and grant the highest place in Jannah to the ones who have passed away🙏

I mean it has become my go to place for coffee. And I personally think they have good coffee and drinks collection.

Even the chillers hit your brain cells.

I would rate 9.6/10. 👌🏻❤️

This was my first ever hiking experience!

Me and 2 of my friends started our journey at 11:00 pm from Islamabad and reached Thal via Coaster. From Thal, we reached Tiki Top by Jeep, and that's where the hike began.

It was a 3 to 4 hr hike from Tiki Top to Jaz Bhanda. Being a low Hb girl, it was never easy, but I had given my word to my friend, "I won't give up." And I meant it.

We finally reached Jaz Bhanda and spent the night there. The view was majestic, so unreal that I genuinely can't put it into words.

The next morning, the hike started again. From Jaz Bhanda to Mini Katora and thn to Main Katora Lake. It was almost a 3 hr uphill hike. Finally, we climbed the death zone of Katora Lake, and my eyes witnessed one of the most beautiful views ever. It was worth every step.

The same day, we down hiked from Katora Lake back to Tiki Top. It started raining midway, and the track became slippery. Idk how, but I managed to keep hiking. I felt like I was falling apart, but the only thing running through my mind was, I can endure ts too. I'm not weak. I won't give up.

After reaching Tiki Top, we continued our journey to Kumrat. By the time we reached our room, my body couldn't carry me anymore. I jus had dinner and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, we visited Kala Chasma, explored Kumrat Valley, and then travelled back to Islamabad.

Ts journey taught me sm things. I learned how to survive in situations where you lit have no one to hold you. You have to stay strong even when you want to cry, even when you want to stop.....you still have to keep moving.

Ts journey was jus like life. You get tired, but you have to keep walking. You want to fall, but you have to stay strong. You want to jus sit down and cry, but you have to pull yourself together and keep swimming.

Another park in F8. Had a great night with some friends here. Memorable times

I just read the court statement of Astrid Gabriela, it's graphic, horrifying, and hard to forget. A woman lured under business pretext, held captive, tortured, and repeatedly assaulted in Lahore. The main accused is Raza Dar, reportedly grandson of Deputy PM Ishaq Dar.

This is the same old story. Pakistan's ashrafiya (elite) always escape accountability using power and connections. All these f*cking politicians and establishment are same. Money and power has seriously challenged that morally.

Our society has a serious problem with its men. They are mentally sick — can't even handle simple business disputes like adults by sitting and talking. Every disagreement or frustration turns into sexual violence because women are seen as easy targets. This brings shame to Pakistan at home and abroad.

Ishaq Dar must resign immediately for a fair investigation. But let's be honest — nothing will change. The powerful will protect their own, as they always do.

I wish the international courts should be intervene. Pakistan needs this slap and treatment.. Enough is enough..

We need real change, but in this broken system, it feels hopeless. Power will remain immunity. Ordinary people will keep suffering in silence.

As-salamu Alaikum everyone.

I graduated with a BS in one of the natural sciences. Unfortunately, in Pakistan it seems to have very limited career prospects outside of teaching. Now my parents want me to pursue an MPhil in the same field, but I honestly don't see how that would improve my future. It feels like a classic sunk cost fallacy—continuing down the same path just because I've already invested years into it.

I'm 24 and, thankfully, I don't have any major financial or family responsibilities for the next 5–6 years. That gives me some time to switch careers if it's the right decision.

I've been considering CA (Chartered Accountancy), even though it's completely different from my academic background. Is it still a worthwhile option to start at this stage? How are the job prospects and earning potential compared to spending more years on an MPhil with uncertain outcomes?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have changed careers or found themselves in a similar situation. If you think there's a better path than CA, I'm open to suggestions.

JazakAllah khair.
