Need Affordable and Safe Accommodation in Islamabad for a Week (11-18 Dec)

Hey everyone,

My friend (18m) and I (19M) are planning to visit Islamabad from 11th December to 18th December, coming from Hyderabad. Originally, we planned to stay with a friend, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have any extra space for us.

Since our tickets are already booked and we can’t cancel the trip, we’re now looking for a safe and affordable place to stay. Ideally, we’d like a room at Sindh House or an army mess, as these options are secure and budget-friendly. Our budget is under 6,000 PKR per night.

If anyone has advice or can help us arrange a room in one of these places, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

A Restaurant in Islamabad charged me 15% GST because they declined card payment!

How can we verify if the GST tax deducted on our shopping or restaurant bills—15% for cash or 5% for card payments—is actually being sent to the FBR? Is there any way to check this through an invoice ID or tracking number? Many businesses now prefer cash payments, possibly to avoid FBR tax tracking. For example, I requested to pay by card at a restaurant to apply the 5% GST, but they declined and charged 15% for cash instead.

Laptop Cleaning and repair in islamabad ( Charger Pin Over heating)

Aoa, my laptop is in need of a cleaning and thermal paste renewal. Every shop I find online seems to have a few reviews of the shop being untrustworthy or charging more or stealing parts and I don't know what to do.

The most glaring problem I have right now is that my charger pin heats up instantly when I'm charging while using my laptop, first time it's happened and since I have a gaming laptop it's been impossible to use and I can't charge it cause I don't want to cause any damage by overheating.

One shop where I bought laptops from is chrging 5k for service and thermal paste renewal, is that a good price? It had bad reviews a few years ago.

Any suggestions would help, I'm open to trying to clean it myself but I don't have the tools nor the knowledge to clean it. I don't want to end up damaging something.

EASA part-66 at Academic Training Hub in Institute Of Space Technology "islamabad"

Long story short, I am an ACCA drop out, I went into it without much thought or know-how and wasted precious years of my life on it. I am considering the EASA part-66 program at the Institute of Space Technology. I recently visited them and met some key people who gave me an overview of their program. I am interested in aviation and demonstrated some of my aircraft components knowledge. Besides that, I am good at Mathematics and Physics. My major concern is if their faculty is good enough to give proper guidance, since my experience of faculty behavior in ACCA was terrible and sometimes I would be suggested to pass my exams through illegal means which I refused. When I visited the IST to learn about EASA part-66 I was told that 75 out of 100 is the minimum passing mark and it concerned me because I don't wanna be stuck over flunked exams as this happened to me in ACCA, they kept failing me at 49 over two and a half years and their passing marks are 50, I went through so much stress and depression that I needed to get out of it. Other than that I am also considering teaching (English & Math) to the Matric/O-level/IGCSE and classes junior as another option, this seems like a much more forward and safer option compared to any other thing I previously mentioned and it will allow me to establish myself in the industry much sooner. Has anybody done EASA training here? How is their faculty and do people get stuck in it like in CA/ACCA? Any suggestion?

isb ideas for apps

Hi, i am looking for app ideas you would want to se in islamabad/rawalpindi.

I have been thinking to create some mobile/web apps to practice and help people around.

I would like to get any ideas you have, like any idea, even for inspiration. Any problem you faced everyday and wished there should be an app of it.

I have been thinking of creating an app to connect students like a mix of BeReal and reddit channels for a specific university (or universities around the city) and not allowing anyone other than the unis domain email to register/sign up

any suggestions?

Rental properties advice in RWP

I live overseas in the UK and my dad has houses in Pakistan on his name, one particular house the tenants are not paying the rent, this has been an issue for a long time and my dad has had enough.

My dad is saying he had given the authority to my uncle to who has an authority letter, now my uncle has served a notice on the tenants that they need to leave after one month, they were saying this is called 'starm' or something.

How does all this work, now my dad was saying the next process is if they refuse to leave they will go to court, or they will send people with the police to remove the tenants.

Can someone please explain how this all works, as far as im aware the land/house is on my dads name, 2 years ago they tenants signed an agreement, now they have been given a notice to leave, also what is a 'starm'.

Urgent help needed with Dentist!! Dr Mamoon Pasha ISB

Hi guys, I booked a consultation session with Dr Mamoon Pasha on Wednesday and after a long discussion with him I got to know that he is not the one who will be operating me since he's not an orthodontist. Long story short he mentioned Dr. Nofil who is an orthodontist there. So my question is that does anybody had any good/bad experience with Dr. Nofil? (I'm getting braces tomorrow so need a response soon)

Hi there, I'm curious to how some organizations, locally especially partner with restaurants / cafes to host a small public gathering / event? Like yeah, easiest way is to walk up and ask but I'm also looking for some recommendations on places that can host such a gathering in an enclosed space to avoid being disturbed. I get that anyone who attends has to order something mandatory which is fine ig

How is the traffic in Islamabad?

My family is considering relocating from Karachi to Islamabad, with three people in total. Would this be a good move to think about? What are the general costs for an 80 or 120 square-yard house? Also, how is the traffic situation there? Currently, we live in Gulistan-e-Jauhar( Karachi University Road) where almost every road is crowded, especially since the recent Green Line project has made lanes narrower. How does Islamabad compare?

Hi, where can i find affordable mini projectors in isb for personal and classroom use?

what the title says. i teach undergrad classes at a government college and the classrooms are pretty ill-equipped (shocker!). I've been meaning to invest on my own in an affordable projector device for my class so the students can learn in a more engaging way. Will be thankful for any leads!

Place for rent in ISB/PINDI

Salam, I'm getting married soon and plan to settle in the twin cities due to work. Could anyone recommend safe and affordable areas where I can rent a small portion or house? We don’t need much space since it’ll just be the two of us, and a rent budget of 20k or less would be ideal. I've heard that Ghauri Town Phase 4 might be a good option, but I'm unsure about its safety, especially since my wife will often be home alone while I'm at work. Any advice would be appreciated!
