Firstly i sometimes wonder why's there no debate house or intellectual centre in Pakistan,like not even 1 which might be famous,yea there's one liberal one the black hole lol,but uski toh bat hi choro

So guy's let's open one where intellectual discussion hon and debates on the topics like politics, religion, philosophy, psychology, history,current affairs

Like atleast 3 times a week and we could also invite guests with good intellect or even with good following so that our centre could get good reach and publicity

I’m trying to understand whether building a new house in DHA Lahore actually saves meaningful money compared to buying an established house.

My assumption (maybe wrong) is that building through a contractor/builder could save money by avoiding the builder/developer margin, but I’m not sure if those savings disappear once you factor in time, delays, hassle, and extra costs during construction.

For a standard 10 marla or 1 kanal house, roughly how much difference are we talking about between build vs buy?

Personally I don’t mind paying a bit extra to buy an existing house and avoid the whole build process - unless the savings from building are actually significant.

Appreciate replies from people who’ve recently built or bought in DHA and can share real numbers.

Need honest opinions from people familiar with LAS or Learning Alliance.

I’m considering LAS for my daughter but the fee is very high and commute would be around 1 hour+ daily overall. Wondering if elite schools really make a huge difference in early years or if middle/high school matters more later for universities abroad.

Would it make more sense to do primary years at Learning Alliance and switch later?

Also curious whether LAS is truly academically exceptional or mainly valuable for exposure/networking/confidence building.

Guys, I was in homeschooled.

I learned everything via the internet and the teachers my parents hired.

Financially, I'm doing way better than people twice my age.

I started working when I was around 19 when most guys my age were studying on their parents' money.

I have worked with foreign and local companies, but when people hear that I don't have a degree or never went to school, they look shocked.

Someone even asked how can you become a CEO if you don't have a degree.

Even girls reject you just because you don't have a degree.

I'm really not sure why people take degrees so seriously, because I believe degrees don't hold any value when it comes to being successful in life.

And if you guys ever got the chance, would you still go to universities or try different things and live life differently?

Are there any other homeschooled people in Lahore, especially in Bahria Town?

Would love to connect.

I haven't found a single person in Lahore who was homeschooled

Also, if anyone knows any other good matrimonial groups, please let me know in the comments. Thank you

This is not about politics. It is about public health and environmental negligence.

For the past nearly 15 days, garbage has been continuously burned near Main Barki Road, beside Paragon City and Green City, right in front of the Rangers Headquarters in Lahore. Toxic smoke has been spreading across the entire area, affecting thousands of residents and commuters daily.

The severely affected areas include:

• Paragon City

• Green City

• DHA Ivy

• Entire population living and travelling across Barki Road

Residents are being forced to breathe polluted air day and night. Many are reporting breathing problems, eye irritation, headaches, and severe discomfort because of the constant smoke and smell.

What makes the situation even more alarming is that the AQI in this area has reportedly remained above 200 during these days, significantly worse than many other parts of Lahore. While the city already struggles with pollution, this area is facing dangerously unhealthy air conditions with no visible emergency response.

Despite all this, the Environment Department and concerned authorities remain silent. This is happening in the provincial capital, yet no serious action has been taken to stop it.

Environmental protection cannot remain limited to press conferences and public statements while people continue suffering on the ground.

Authorities must:

• Immediately stop the open burning of garbage

• Hold those responsible accountable

• Conduct an air quality assessment in the area and publicly share the findings

Clean air is not a privilege. It is a basic human right.

I’m 25f, and ever since I started university, I’ve struggled to form healthy friendships especially with other women.

When I did make female friends, the relationships often became exhausting. They would constantly point out things they thought I needed to “fix,” whether it was my bags, my hair color, the way I responded to bullies, or other small aspects of my personality and appearance. Over time, it felt more critical than supportive.

Eventually, I gave up on trying to build close female friendships and became part of a friend group made up mostly of men. I spent about three years with them, but over time I started noticing behavior that felt increasingly uncomfortable.

For example, one guy would go out of his way to do overly personal things for me, like taking off his footwear because I couldn’t walk comfortably in heels even though he had a girlfriend. Another constantly tried to make me laugh and sought my attention, but never introduced me to his female friends and seemed to hide our friendship, as if being seen with me would be embarrassing. One friend was especially controlling. He would question why I laughed at someone else’s joke and regularly tried to turn me against other people so I would stay dependent on him.

Outside of university, my friendships with men followed a similar pattern. Some were overly sentimental and emotionally intense; others were cold and inconsistent. Their behavior often left me questioning where I stood with them.

In mixed friend groups, I frequently felt singled out. For example, in one group of four (two men and two women), I was often left out of jokes or treated like the villain for no clear reason. When I brought this up, I was told I was imagining things, even though the men were noticeably kinder and more attentive to my female friend than they were to me. This made me doubt myself and spiral emotionally.

Years later, some of these men would announce their engagements or marriages in strange ways that felt as though they expected me to be emotionally affected by the news. A few even admitted they had “gone through a phase” with me, which only confirmed that their intentions had not been purely platonic.

As an adult, this pattern has been confusing and emotionally draining. I often feel criticized by women and treated ambiguously by men.

At the risk of sounding shallow, I am conventionally attractive, have a witty sense of humor, and generally get along well with strangers. People often describe me as approachable. After watching a lot of psychology content, I’ve started wondering whether some of this behavior comes from other people’s insecurities, projection, or unspoken attraction.

Most recently, I met someone who, almost immediately, started telling me that everything I was doing was wrong. It felt like unsolicited criticism and made me wonder: is this a way some people try to get attention, assert control, or “humble” someone?

Has anyone experienced similar relationship patterns? What do you think might be going on, and how can I improve my experiences and build healthier friendships?

Want to lock in and work without any noise and it being too busy? Any suggestions?

Looking for something compact and easy to use with a phone. Mainly want it for printing photos, stickers, journaling stuff, labels, etc.

Any recommendations or brands to avoid?
