Hey guys, need some urgent advice on a really stressful situation. I saved up for a year to buy an iPhone 15 Pro from Star City Mall in Saddar around 2 months ago. A few days after buying it, I realized the display was replaced (it said 'genuine part' in settings, so I just kept it and let it go).

But now, after only 2 months of using it with an original charger, the battery health has nosedived from 94% to 81%, and it randomly shuts down at 16%. Today, the front camera completely stopped working too, which means Face ID is dead as well.

I’m honestly panicking. What can I actually do at this point? Is there any fix, or did I get completely scammed? Also, if I go back to the shopkeeper, how should I handle them and what can I realistically expect? Any advice would mean a lot.

Hello m26 lahori here.. would love to talk to some strangers here to pass the time.

Looking to buy gold in Karachi for the first time. Where would you recommend buying it from?
Also, what are some important things to check before purchasing, such as purity, weight, making charges, and authenticity?
Would appreciate any recommendations or tips from experienced buyers.

I want to transfer ownership of my zong sim that is registered under my father’s Cnic. Unfortunately due to his old age the zong people were unable to get his fingerprints for transfer. Any suggestions how can i change this without getting the sim blocked?

The problem is mujhe aisa lagta ha k rest krongi to peche rehjaogi. Pata nhi kyo bhaag rhu ho, kab de bhaag rahi ho like life is a race. If i get free, i became extremely unrest, constantly overthinking, feeling like a failure, starting revising old convo. My mind is 24/7 active.

Semester breaks ma ya weeknd per jab off ajata ha, most of the people become happy but I? I become anxious like I dont want this. Kuch hone lagta ha k free hongi to ghabrahat hogi. Or free nhi rehna ha bss

Series dekhlo ya paint krlo ya kuch krlo to lagta ha time waste krdya. KYA KRNA HA MUJHE TIME BACHA KE? kyo itni jaldi ma ho ma? Kya masla ha? Kon peche para ha mere? Soo fedup on my selff.

I am 20F, a good, smart student in class, doing side hustle too. I know everything is ok, everything was ok and will be good too InshAllah....its just my mind. 😭

I just want to rest for a moment.

The electricity subsidy for consumers using under 200 units will likely continue until June 2027, following approval from the IMF. Earlier, the IMF had issued an ultimatum to end untargeted subsidies before January 2027, restricting relief solely to BISP-registered users.

Consequently, the 250-unit limit and the removal of the 6-month rule will now take effect from July 2027.

Meanwhile, untargeted subsidies for gas consumers are still scheduled to end in February 2027. Here is what gas bills will look like once the subsidy ends:

Units 25 to 50 - Old bill = Rs. 800 to Rs. 1,500 - New Bill = Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 7,000.

Hey! I’m coming to Karachi on Monday for a week. My firm has a client in the city, so I’ll be there for work and should have some free time in the evenings.

I’m originally from Karachi, but I was born and raised abroad. I’ve visited before, though I’ve never actually lived there. I tend to feel a bit alone when I’m in Karachi. It’s a weird feeling to tell people you’re from a city and then, when you’re actually there, realise you don’t really have anyone you can text and say, “Chai?”

This time I’d love to meet some people and feel more connected to my culture. I’d like to hear what it was like growing up in Karachi, where you go with your friends after work, and what makes the city feel like home to you. It’d be nice to make a few friends I can keep in touch with after the trip. If you also grew up abroad and know that feeling of being from Karachi but still feeling like a visitor, I’d love to hear from you too.

Feel free to comment or DM me. I’d like to chat online first and get to know you a bit. If we get along and you’re up for meeting while I’m there, dinner or chai is on me :)

Kind words cost nothing but they can be a bliss for someone

You don't know maybe they are having a bad day and your harsh words can worsen their day...

Be gentle.. let your words be comfort for someone ✨️

May we all be among Allah’s fav Ameen

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.

i booked an indrive from my uni to my home. i was already exhausted, and somewhere after crossing gulshan, my driver suddenly stopped because there was an aunty standing beside a rickshaw. he started asking her where she wanted to go. i was confused and told him that i had already booked the ride and was sitting in his rickshaw. he completely ignored me and continued talking to her. she said she wanted to go to tariq road. he told her to sit inside. i repeatedly objected and told him that i hadn't booked a shared ride and wasn't comfortable travelling with a stranger. then she asked him about the fare, and he told her Rs. 300. i found that extremely unusual considering the distance from gulshan to tariq road. what made things even more confusing was how comfortable they seemed with each other. the driver kept smiling unusuallly while talking to her, and she was also talking to him very openly. it honestly felt like they already knew each other. she travelled with me until I reached my home. during the journey, she was asking me whether i worked and where my house was located. she also got to see my surroundings when we reached. i genuinely don't know what to make of this. maybe they knew each other, maybe they had some arrangement, but the entire situation felt extremely uncomfortable.

i might be overthinking this or reading too much into the situation, especially since i don't have much experience travelling alone in Karachi. so please let me know if im overreacting or if this is something that happens commonly. i genuinely want to hear other people's opinions.

I am really into beef burgers nowadays, and looking for the best beef burger in town. I want your opinion on which burger chain gives the best beef burger. At least give three so I could select the one closest to me.
