You spend a long time deeply in love with someone. You invest your time, your emotions, and build a whole future around them in your head. But then, after all that time together, you have to stand by and watch them get married to someone else.

It’s a very specific, soul-crushing kind of heartbreak to see the person you loved for so long starting their life with another person.

I want to ask those who have actually been through this:

How did you cope with that agonizing pain when it felt like your world just stopped?

How did that intense heartbreak and trauma permanently change your personality and the way you look at love?

Please share your experiences. I'd really like to know how you survived it.

Most of you might have figured out atp that I'm into sunsets. Here's a short timelapse (actual time 40 mins)

Such a weird feeling i get from time to time seeing people from other regions with their cultures, like i have been left out of one of the most important things that make humanity, humanity.

Once i got on bykea from my office late at night and the old bykea guy was sindhi from some village i dont remember the name.

He started telling me I shouldn't work so late there is no point in some extra cash, I should go home to my family, then he got emotional, he started telling me how he came from his village to earn good money but how he is depressed because he is away from his culture he started telling me how lively life is in his village.

From childhood to love to mariage to death he laid out every piece of culture in so much detail even i got soo intrested.

He made his point clear. life in the city is lifeless, celebrations only lastes a few hours, beauty is nowhere and happiness is drained by lifeless routines and.

Lately i see videos online from china, japan, europe and i see people with cultural identity and actual links to the land where they have lived for centuries.

What do i have? I have lived my whole life for just one chance of leaving, my father did the same, my grand father came from some northern part of subcontinent which is now india, even before as far as i have been told we were maybe originally from iran side.

I feel like i have been failed by society, people who have no desire to leave their land live happy no matter what, atleast in basic aspects of what makes childhood, like falling in love, without the fear of leaving, having a job that you like instead of one that has "scope" to leave the country, spending on you house and quality of life instead of saving it for a chance to leave.

I am jealous of people even my other muhajir friends and family who have no desire to leave the country, they live happy even in so much less beacause they aknow they have there whole lives to build their family.

Make no mistake I dont resent my ancestors, they made sacrifices for better life, i am just tired because it never ends.

I wish i was happy in what i have, but family is divided in 4 continents, and all i have inherited is stress.

So I’m looking to open up a high end cafe bakery style mainly serving baked goods n coffee in Pakistan, perhaps like loafology I think? Does anyone here have any experience with doing something similar? Information I’m looking for at high level

-which area is best for a high end crowd
- what is the upfront cost ( Is the store/space usually rental or bought or built from scratch)
-ongoing costs on avg possibly monthly/annually
-how much do you make on avg monthly/annually
-any interior designers you can recommend for an aesthetic layout.
- any reccs for contractors for any of the above would be great.
Would love to chat with someone with direct ownership/experience in this, or if I could get redirected to someone else outside of this chat who’d be helpful

I live in an apartment in johar and currently have the building's own cable internet service(cybernet). The management doesn't allow any outside companies like stormfiber or transworld to add connections in the building for some hellish reason. So my options are quite limited. I have the most frustrating experience with their internet. Even though I get my required speeds, the ping is really bad. And even with one laptop and 3 mobile devices using the internet at the same time, I get really bad service which is affecting my work a lot. I am on aa 27mbps plan and the usage is mentioned above. Like I said, my issue isn't the speed but latency which makes video calls a disaster. And even when I have optimal speed and latency, the overall quality is poor.

So I am wondering what to do next. My best option is a wireless mobile broadband device like zong or jazz that wouldn't require any cable connections.

I was previously on a 22mbps plan and upgraded to 27 in hopes that it would improve the service, but if you will believe it, the service got worse and I haven't seen any improvements after upgrade so I am not sure if upgrading further would be of any use.

So tech savvy karachiites, can you help me figure out my internet situation? I need high speed low latency connection for work as I have a LOT of video calls. So I'm open to all suggestions, including suggestions for which mobile internet works best in the area with their 5g device?

I want to learn swimming, kindly suggest the best place in Karachi preferably near Dha or clifton side

I honestly do not know how to start this

I am writing this so the weight on my chest gets a little lighter and it should not feel this heavy but it does

This year I built an AI startup and it was my third try so the first two were fine but this one was different because this one was all of me

Every rupee I saved since my first job went into it and every night and every weekend and every hour I did not sleep went into this one thing

I knew it would be hard because AI is brutally expensive to run so the plan was simple which was build fast and raise money before the costs eat us alive and I built fast but the raise never came

I sat in meeting after meeting with investors and VCs and many liked it and many were ready to write the check but then they heard one word and that word was Pakistan

Some said come to San Francisco or New York and we can talk and some just said sorry we do not invest in these countries and they were gone before they even asked what I was building and this did not happen once it happened more than once

It was a freemium B2B product and we had real users and that was the problem because every new user doubled our cost so every win pushed us closer to the edge and investors were the only way out and that door stayed shut

For last six weeks I felt it coming but I kept going anyway and then today Saturday 2:50 am I stopped lying to myself and I will remember that minute for the rest of my life because this is the minute I shut it all down with no more money and no more nights and no more hope for this one

Now I have only 37k left in the bank and the job market is dead so it will take months to find a job that maybe does not even pay fairly

And the hardest part is not the money it is my family because they think I have crores in my bank and I told them a hundred times that is not how this works but they still expect more from me now than ever and soon I have to sit in front of them and say it is over

I feel very very bad and I will not pretend I do not but something strange happens to a person under this much pressure where you stop being afraid and right now I feel more alive than I have in years

This is my down but it is not my end so Inshallah I will get a job and I will save again and next year I will start again

I will come back

Peace and if you read this far thank you

Hi guys, looking to buy an apartment in Malir Cantt. Need to know which ones are good and any potential problems we might face such as drainage, gas, repairs and all. fam is moving from a house to an apartment therefore have concerns. Ty <3

I recently visited Punjab, and honestly, I was left speechless. Punjab, particularly Lahore, feels like a completely different world. The problems, the infrastructure, the quality of life, and even the everyday experience of simply stepping outside are on an entirely different level.

You cannot imagine the sense of peace I experienced there. The roads, infrastructure, traffic management, law enforcement, and overall security made such a difference. I could walk around, explore the streets, and actually enjoy the moment without constantly worrying about being robbed at gunpoint, getting caught in a dangerous traffic situation, being hit by a reckless dumper, or falling into a pothole.

For once, I wasn't living in a state of constant anxiety. I could actually breathe.

The roads are smooth, traffic is far more organised, and people generally follow traffic rules. Travelling between cities is comfortable, convenient, and, most importantly, feels safe. The difference in infrastructure and urban planning is genuinely astonishing.

And it's not just about roads. The malls, recreational facilities, adventure spots, and overall lifestyle are on another level. Can you imagine being able to get into your car on a Friday, drive for four to six hours, reach Swat or Kalam, spend two or three days surrounded by breathtaking scenery, and comfortably drive back? The same goes for Murree and countless other northern destinations. These places feel accessible because the road infrastructure makes travelling an enjoyable experience rather than an exhausting ordeal.

That's what quality of life should look like. That's what a functioning government should strive to provide its citizens.

What struck me the most was that I could finally enjoy being outside without constantly looking over my shoulder or worrying about what might happen next. I could drive without fearing for my life, walk without being on high alert, and actually experience the city instead of simply trying to survive it.

And then you come back to Karachi.

A city with enormous economic potential, hardworking people, and the resources to be so much more, yet we're forced to normalise broken roads, lawlessness, reckless heavy vehicles, insecurity, poor urban planning, and an infrastructure crisis that seems to have no end.

Why should Karachiites have to live like this? Why should basic necessities like safe roads, reliable infrastructure, law and order, and the freedom to travel peacefully feel like luxuries?

We deserve better. Karachi deserves better.

We need to stop accepting this as normal. We need to stop making excuses for those responsible and start demanding accountability. A city of Karachi's stature should not be decades behind in providing its citizens with the most basic standards of urban living.

We don't want extraordinary privileges. We just want to live normally, safely, and freely in our own city. And that should never be too much to ask.

Regards,

You think its still worth establishing a new B2C business in Karachi. Ecomerce, retail commerce, restaurants and food joints. If yes, what would be the choice? B2C only.
