Thinking of getting a haircut + massage at Ngents in Gulberg, Lahore. Would love to hear honest feedback about the overall experience, staff, hygiene, and service quality. Also, what are their current prices for haircut and massage packages?
I lost my CNIC somewhere in Iqbal Town, Lahore and I’m not sure what the exact process is now to get a new one issued.
Would appreciate guidance from anyone who recently went through this process in Lahore. Thanks!
I need advice on the most practical solar setup for my house.
Right now I already have a load shedding backup setup: a Homage UPS with an AGS GX-200F 12V 175Ah battery. I replaced that battery this month and want to keep this setup as it is for outages.
My actual goal is to reduce the WAPDA bill. We use 2 ACs a lot, usually around 16 hours a day in summer, and last year the bill touched 1 lac in some months. Because of that, I at least want to move both ACs to solar during the day. If the rooms stay cool all day, then at night they may not need to run as much.
I am thinking of going with solar for the ACs without batteries because maintenance would be lower, and even if I buy one more battery of the same type, 2 batteries still seem like they would only give around 1 hour backup for 2 ACs, so that does not feel worth it.
So my question is: for this use case, is it better to install a separate solar inverter + enough panels just for the 2 ACs, and let them use WAPDA only when solar is not enough? Also, can I keep my current Homage UPS completely separate for load shedding backup?
How much will this setup cost me?
Thanks!
I’ve been looking into the housing loan scheme launched by Shehbaz Sharif (Apna Ghar Programme 2026).
Has anyone actually applied and gotten approved yet? Or even reached the bank processing stage?
Also, I’m a freelancer (self-employed), so I’m curious:
• Has any freelancer here successfully qualified for this?
• What kind of income proof did the bank ask for?
• Was the process smooth or complicated?
Would really appreciate honest experiences before I go ahead and apply.
Thanks!
I’m 27M and planning to travel to Bali in a month or two, most likely as a solo trip. I’m not very social in person, so I’m a bit unsure if I’ll naturally be able to make friends once I’m there.
I recently made a Bumble account and turned on Travel Mode for Bali to see if I could meet some people beforehand, maybe make a few friends, and hopefully make the trip more fun.
Does Bumble actually work this way in Bali? Should I realistically expect to get matches before arriving, or is it better to meet people once I’m there?
Any suggestions from people living in Bali or those who have traveled there solo would be really appreciated.
Does anyone know any good and affordable coworking space in allama iqbal town?
A small service-based IT compny is currently making around $3,500/month minimum in recurring revenue, while some months go up to $6,000. The average is usually around $5,000/month.
The team has 5 people total:
• 4 people on payroll
• 1 CEO/founder
The main issue is that the compny is still heavily dependent on the CEO. The CEO handles client communication, understands requirements, acts as the solution architect, breaks w0rk down for the team, guides developers, reviews w0rk, and sometimes still does technical w0rk.
The compny cannot grow properly until the CEO stops doing technical execution and moves more into sales, growth, systems, and leadership. But because monthly revenue is still limited and there are no strong backup funds, the compny also cannot take big risks that may affect monthly delivery or revenue.
The CEO believes the possible solution is h|ring a Technical Project Manager / Solution Architect type person who can understand client requirements, communicate with clients, assign w0rk to developers, and manage delivery.
The challenge is that the compny probably cannot afford someone above 100k PKR/month right now.
Is this a deadlock for the compny?

I’m planning to start installing a solar system this month, but my current budget is around 1.5 lac PKR.
My main goal is to eventually build a system that can go up to around 6kW, but I want to start small and gradually upgrade it over time.
For now, I want to know what I can realistically get within this budget. Ideally, I’d like something that can at least help run 1 AC, or at least be a good starting point toward that goal.
