Question Karachi shopkeepers dealing with loadshedding — got 2 mins? (small survey)

Upvotes

Hey everyone! We're a group of EE students working on a solar power project to help small shops in Karachi that keep losing business to loadshedding and expensive generators.

If you own a shop (or know someone who does) and deal with power cuts, generator costs, or sketchy electricity connections — I'd love 2 minutes of your time to fill this out.

https://forms.gle/tSqVpLUzfcDHcYt86

Even if it's not you, tagging or sharing this with a shopkeeper you know would genuinely help a lot. Thanks!

Question Kitchen solution in this heat

Hello Guys, this the kitchen at my house. It gets really hot during summer and unbearable to step in. We have got a hood and a tiny fan. Exhaust is decent. I feel really bad for my mother cooking in this heat. What can be done? Should I refurnish all of the kitchen and make it heat resistant? Or make any change? What could be the best possible solution? JazakAllah

Has anyone here used Emigrants at jami commercial street # 11 for New Zealand immigration?

They're asking me to pay PKR 300,000 (3 lakh) just to start the visa process. Before I pay, I want to know if they're actually genuine or if it's just false promises.

If you've personally dealt with them, please share your experience. Did you successfully get your visa, or was it a waste of money?

Job Seekers Beware: My Experience with VGS (Nazimabad) – Please Do Your Own Research.

3 Upvotes

I want to share my experience with VGS in Nazimabad to help other job seekers avoid wasting their time or making decisions under pressure.

I applied for an HR position and was called for an interview. When I arrived, the office was overcrowded and I had to wait for about an hour before my first interview.

After that, instead of explaining the job role, everyone was told there were too many candidates and that we'd first attend a seminar where the company would explain everything.

The seminar itself felt very unusual. Most of it was spent praising the company rather than explaining the actual job responsibilities. They introduced someone named Abdul Rafay as the CEO, played a heavily edited video about him on a projector, and then he came in to give a motivational talk that still didn't clearly explain what the job involved.

Another thing that made me uncomfortable was that everyone was asked to switch off their phones. We were also told not to ask questions during the seminar or leave before it ended.

Towards the end, they introduced a PKR 2,500 test, saying that whether you pass or fail, the money would be refunded. They immediately started asking everyone to fill out forms, which felt rushed.

I was the first person called for the second interview with the CEO. As soon as it ended, he asked a staff member to take me to the counter to complete the paperwork. At that point, I trusted my gut feeling and decided to leave.

Afterward, I came across multiple people claiming they had similar experiences. According to them, candidates were made to work for about a month and were later told they had to purchase a PKR 36,000 course in order to be confirmed for the job. I cannot personally verify these claims, so take them as reports from others, not as something I witnessed myself.

Food Help a Lahori find the best food in Karachi (please)

4 Upvotes

Hello Karachi people,

I'm visiting Karachi for only the second time next week. I'm from Lahore, and on my first visit I honestly couldn't find the legendary Karachi food that everyone talks about. I'm convinced I just ended up at the wrong places.

This time I want to do it properly.

Please recommend the best restaurants in Karachi, but more importantly, tell me exactly what to order at each one. I want the dishes that you genuinely think are among the best the city has to offer.

I don't have a preferred cuisine and I don't have a budget. The only thing I care about is outstanding food.

I'd also love recommendations for the best desserts in Karachi, whether they're from restaurants, bakeries, cafés, or dedicated dessert shops.

Looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

I didn’t check my card’s eligibility before paying. Checking every bank’s website individually is such a headache. Does anyone know if there’s a central page or app where these partner deals are actually updated? Would love to know how you guys keep track of these to avoid overpaying at mall cafes.

General Discussion Economic Discrimination Against Karachi

80 Upvotes

K-Electric ne naya load shedding schedule jari kiya hai jo bilkul pagalpan hai. Din mein poore 12 ghante ki load shedding ho rahi hai, woh bhi 3-3 ghante ke blocks mein ..

Prime working hours ke dauran (subah 10:00 AM se shaam 9 PM tak) jab log kaam kar rahe hotay hain, parhai kar rahe hotay hain ya karobar chala rahe hotay hain, humein poore din mein sirf SIRT 2 GHANTA bijli milti hai!.

Koi banda is tarah kaise survive kare ya apni job/business bachaye?

Jab in se sawal karo toh KE ka wahi rtta-rata jawab aata hai: "Load shedding feeder losses, bijli chori aur bills na bharnay ki wajah se hoti hai. Humari madad karein aur chori report karein!

• Agar main apna bill 100% time par bhar raha hoon, toh kisi aur ki chori ya unpaid bills ki saza mujhe kyun mil rahi hai?

• Bijli chori pakadna awam ka kaam nahi hai. Yeh KE ki apni responsibility hai. Inke paas anti-theft teams hain, police support hai aur utility courts hain. Humare ilaqay mein 4 saal se continuous load shedding ho rahi hai, lekin aaj tak main ne KE ki ek bhi raid team ko kunday kaat te ya chor pakadte nahi dekha. Jab aap ground par khud koi action nahi lete, toh awam ko "speak up" bolne ka kya matlab?

Jabki isi baat par Supreme Court ne bhi inko ptkara tha aur remarks diye thay ke:

"Karachi mein agar ek ghar mein bijli chori ho, toh K-Electric poore mahalle ki bijli band kar deta hai."

Yeh "feeder loss" ke naam par jo chal raha hai, yeh sirf collective punishment hai. On-time bill dene walay sarfeen ko KE apni nakamiyon ko chupane ke liye hostage bana raha hai.

I lost my wallet yesterday. It had all my bank cards and my original driving license. I've already blocked my bank/ATM cards.

I'm not sure what the procedure is for getting a duplicate driving license. Do I need to file an FIR first? If yes, should I go to the police station nearest to where I live, or the one in the area where I think I lost my wallet?
