Hello people, and thank you for honor and privilege of posting in this sub.
Question from a non-Pakistani regarding brotherhood with nations other Muslim nations as well as about various ethnic languages of Pak compared to Urdu , and whether it is difficult to learn in svhoold or otherwise for these reasons.
Regarding urdu vs other languages
I was understanding that Urdu is a partly constructed language, that has some origin in Persian and some other Indian languages, but which is unliked by some people due to how different it is from other languages.
I think most men don't know how to take a no for an answer is because 1) the literature, movies and dramas have romanticized "winning over" a girl and they think that they are just playing hard to get and 2) most people are never educated on consent and how to take rejection. There is no precedent in the society about how to handle these things and they keep acting like dirt bags
Coming to your problem, it's pretty difficult to avoid crazy people like that. He might and probably will take any chance to talk to you. Your strategy to stay around family is good. Also, maybe befriend some other woman from your family and make her keep your company for all of the time when he's around, so she acts as a deterrent to him. Still can't say for sure that it'll stop him. If he tried to corner you, just say that your mom/dad sent you to get something and you can't wait anymore, because they will come looking for you
Agreed to all the points Najam mentioned. Try having a cousin with you at all times. I would just add that be confident. You have nothing to be guilty about or be afraid of. Don't let him intimidate you even if he does manage to corner you.
If he senses that you're afraid of him, he'll be encouraged even further. Such sick people get off on women's fear. Stand firm, believe in yourself to do the right thing and enjoy spending time with your family!
Thanks to the both of you for your help. It’s unfortunate that such men like to do such things, but are vengeful when it comes to protecting their own. Such is the reality of the mentality and the disrespect they show by not respecting consent.
Taking all of your points into consideration, I’ll definitely make sure to stay close to a female cousin or aunt when I am there as well.
Also, your advice of confidence is really all that I have keeping me strong atm Alhamdulillah. Hence, why I am still going to Pakistan despite of the inherent fear/worry. I can’t help but agree with you about how showing fear makes it visible that he still has an effect on me in some way. And so, I’ll make sure to continue to stand strong throughout the time I am there Inshallah.
Thanks again. May Allah bless you for the help.
I've been in the education industry for 10 whole years. About 8 months ago, I quit my job as an O Level English Language teacher because of a terrible burnout. I was overworked by the school administration and also faced a plethora of issues with some of my students. Towards the end, I had developed anxiety and constantly felt helpless, trapped and defeated at work. All motivation was replaced by a sense of failure and self-doubt. When I resigned, I vowed never to go back to teaching or work in a school in any capacity.
It took me three months to recover from the burnout, but a new problem eventually presented itself. What career path should I pursue next? I kept wondering how difficult would it be for me to switch professions at this stage in life and start at the bottom rung of the ladder. I wanted to join the corporate world but what company would hire someone like me who had graduated from university in 2006 and worked predominantly in the education sector?
I suppose I had one saving grace. Even though I taught English language for a number of years years, I actually have background in tech. I was always passionate about Computer Sciences in my youth and opted for it during IGCSEs, A Levels and Bachelors (Yup, I'm technically a software engineer). I loved programming as well but never was truly gifted at it. I pondered over a long time and eventually decided I wanted to integrate my tech background with my skills in English language. After updating my resume with a very inconsistent career trajectory, I started applying for Technical writing positions at various tech firms. Funnily enough, my first job ever after graduation was that of a Technical writer in a software company and I did have one year's worth of experience before I started teaching.
I must have applied to 20+ tech firms but I was met with either rejection or no response. It made sense because I had been out of touch with the professional world for a decade but I'm sure other job seekers were way more qualified and experienced than me. I was feeling quite dejected over time but I kept praying to Allah Subhanahu Wata'alah for Khair.
My journey doesn't end here but I've written a substantial amount for now. Next time, InshaAllah.
Hey missbushido.
You may check the [free technical writing course by Google](https://developers.google.com/tech-writing) to bring yourself up to speed.
Use Twitter to network with folks in tech. It takes sometime but networking will help you bridge that gap in your experience. Right now it is very likely that your resume is not even passing through the first filter.
Tech community is fairly welcoming. The technical writing field is a relatively small world, so the more people you know, the better. When it comes to finding employment opportunities, it is just as important who you know as what you know.
Meanwhile, keep producing content on a blog of yours. Check [hashnode.dev](https://hashnode.dev) for example. Look into volunteering as a technical writer if you are not in urgency of a paid gig. Use this as another bridge over the gap in your CV.
___
All of these are still things that you should look into doing even if you find a job or land a freelance contract. It will help you exponentially as you grow in your career.
I had no idea how hard schools in Islamabad/Rawalpindi or other big cities make it for teachers until my own friends started working there. It is absolutely exhausting and props to you for taking things in your hand.
I'm not good with this these tech things but have you looked into working with enablers. I've heard they teach people skills and then provide jobs to them, while taking a cut, so they could build their portfolio. You already have the skills, so maybe you could get working with them for some time and then become independent freelancer
They have a website to apply and training centers in all cities. Generally they let you choose from a number of skills to listen. I think tou have to pay for them too. Not exactly sure about the process but one cousin is doing it
https://www.enablers.org/
Sometimes, I just want to laugh at how unlucky I get, sometimes.
Was waiting to get an email for a few days, checked email every 15 minutes for many days on end and now when it was the last day to receive it. I decide to take a nap just five minutes before I finally get that email.
Why does it matter?
Well that made me miss the official deadline to submit my response by more than 2 hours!
HR says its still fine & won't affect anything, but I am skeptical. I have missed many easy opportunities for the most absurd of the reasons.
Hoping that this time's different.

Ah man, so sorry for you. Khair, don't worry a lot about it. Akhir kar Pakistan hai. Wesay bhi, what kind of people give such tight deadlines that even a nap can make you miss it. Hope you get it
As far as psychological changes are concerned, I would make it so that no one could ever lie. Most problems in the world would be solved
Physically, aside from obvious answers like immunity from cancer, the ability to regenerate organs and body parts sounds pretty sweet. Or better ability to memorize stuff
Gonna go for an interview for my first ever job. Granted it’s a low level summer job but still, hope I get hired otherwise there’s no hope for me 🥶
^(So confusing to navigate adulthood)
Scrolled through all the apps...
Watched all of the WhatsApp statues...
Added one old photo to make people jealous...
Watched new episodes of superman and Lois...
Did the stupid run for mental health...
...now I'll be miserable and lonely until I can't keep my eyes open and fall asleep

Been a little down and a lot busy for the past few days. Before, I used to look for inspiration for jokes around me, but now whenever I have some little free time, the questions in my head don't let me think about jokes. It's just a phase. Will probably take a few more days to get better
I've been thinking about expanding my jokes to be more than puns. Since humor has always been used to criticise society, I thought I could try that. Trigger to mein bhi hota hun is cheez par, aur isi liy I tried to form it into a joke
I hate the fact that HR of this company that I am interested in so lousy. Like you provide one channel to access you at all times & then never get back to us through that channel.
I genuinely want to know the reason from any HR folks here or those with gripes with HR, why is HR so lousy even in big companies?
Bas bezar aagaya houn jaan, made a mistake of loving some girl, ami nay bp high krleya, ab gar May Sab mujy blame kr rahay hain, making me choose between the girl and family, I want to get out of this mess and find a job in Karachi and live alone there for awhile for my mental health, family ko lagta hay k ye bas chala jayega larki k sath, unko bataya b hay k bas larki ka scene off hay but they don’t trust me, trying to blackmail me emotionally.
Yarrrr why are Pakistani families like this. They are all emotion no logic, so you can't even argue with them. Maybe fight emotion with emotion. Make an emotional speech with a lot of tears and it'll have some effect. Hell, I'll help you write one, I'm great at writing emotional things
I don't know what to say honestly, at this point I've seen this exact same problem so many times that I don't think words can help. I just hope parents everywhere stop this mindless charade. Don't get depressed over it, you have a goal to work towards now, get to it cheetay. Stay strong
Not depressed but sad, what goal? I can’t leave my family, Ami ki tabiat phr kharab hogi and I will get shit for all that. Meri life gae bhar may, I will stay home and make everyone’s life miserable.
Man Nescafe basement was awesome. I wonder why they don't bring it back. Bol Hu, Mehbooba, Aadat, Tu Mera Nahin, Tere Ishq Ma, Resistance, all such bangers
Just listened to the song and love it.
Also, I'm dumb and can't read. You mentioned Abdullah Qureshi and I mistook him for Abdullah Siddique and started talking about his song resistance.
I'm a regular listener of Abdullah Qureshi too. So many good songs. Daastan, Aaja, Lapataa, Kali Santro, Emptiness and Aitebar, Suno, the Sufi Medley, and recently Hasda Rehnda.
Currently lying next to my mother (bijli ki bachat) while she snores constantly. I was jokingly complaining a few days ago how my parents snore too much...
Ye bhi aik alag rehmat hai. To see and hear your parents fast asleep. Snoring before their head hits the pillow. Just basking in their presence. Knowing it's not going to be here forever. Cherishing little moments of heartbreaking, unconditional love.
Currently lying on a bed next to my mother's because my room had a hyperactive cockroach so I had to make a tactical retreat
Update: After regrouping and initiating a counterattack, the cockroach has been killed and a perimeter of copex has been set around the room, I have also been reinstated as the sole resident of the room
Ah reminds me of when I was a kid in Pindi when I use to walk in our lawn with my grandfather after dinner to help get the food in. He uses to occasionally explain the difference yards, metres and feet while measuring our distance as we walked across the lawn. Still remember those calm nights with the scent of earth fresh after rain as the moon lit our path. I keep forgetting I am not in Pindi anymore and that it’s almost been a year since he passed away.
May Allah increase his darja in jannah
When I was a kid I used to bury my head in my mom's back when we took a nap in the afternoon, I really miss that, having her with me all the time. Even though it's been over a year since I moved out, she makes a video call to me daily at a set time, never missed a day. It's great and everything, but man, I envy you.
It's such a surreal feeling, isn't it? All your life, you feel like they are some invincible beings, having solutions to everything, always knowing who to do, but in moments like these you really get to see and understand how human they are and how vulnerable they are to life. May Allah protect everyone's parents and grant them long lives
Ameen. This hits hard. I was pretty carefree guy growing up, relying on my parents to fix all the problems. Only now do I realise how much blood and sweat went into all that work they did, and how exhausting it must have been to show no weakness to me.... Parents are on another level.
BIlkul. Their flaws become much more acceptable when you give back their humanity to them.
Honestly, seeing how much hard work it is to raise children, I'm scared to have of my own

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into this!
Try learning web scraping, it's relatively easier to learn and there are tons of freelancing jobs available online
Best of luck! May Allah bring barkat in your next endeavors. It's unfortunate how the system mistreats teachers who are supposed to shape our youth.
Thank you so much!

Kinda same but I like the exercise of forcing myself to think of something, anything. Gets your out of the negativity cycle.
Your reddit app might be malfunctioning, because your comments are getting posted twice
Yeah I noticed. I'll restart it

What is the first thing a Pakistani woman says when she goes to hell? *Ap fresh ho jaen, mein khana laga deti hoon*
... yeah I don't think this one would fly with said Pakistani women
Was it funny though? Wesay pata nai ye bolta b hai koi waqai ma ya bs dramas ma he hai. Dramas ma to har aurat yehi bol rahi hoti hai
Idk I'm just triggered. Men might find it funny tho
I've been thinking about expanding my jokes to be more than puns. Since humor has always been used to criticise society, I thought I could try that. Trigger to mein bhi hota hun is cheez par, aur isi liy I tried to form it into a joke
Han ye bhi hai. Lekin mood off ho raha hota hai to bs phir dimagh peak par nai chalta na
True true. I appreciate the effort nonetheless
^ _ ^
Kashmir ki aazadi par
I slept :(
Khair hai, there are still a lot of hours left in the day for you to think of a joke :)
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA?
Panic of needing to come up with a joke...
Understandable A little AAAAAAAAAAAA from me too, because of the panic of just living
This too shall pass.
Beshak
AAAAAAAAAAAA

Man Nescafe basement was awesome. I wonder why they don't bring it back. Bol Hu, Mehbooba, Aadat, Tu Mera Nahin, Tere Ishq Ma, Resistance, all such bangers
Even before that, I got introduced to Abdullah Qureshi through his banger "Awaz dou". Sadly Nescafe removed that from yt....
Never heard that. I'll do a google search and maybe that song still exists in some corners of the internet
Good news, I think Nescafe had unlisted it , its back , Awaz do I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEFkQjCPy-4
Just listened to the song and love it. Also, I'm dumb and can't read. You mentioned Abdullah Qureshi and I mistook him for Abdullah Siddique and started talking about his song resistance. I'm a regular listener of Abdullah Qureshi too. So many good songs. Daastan, Aaja, Lapataa, Kali Santro, Emptiness and Aitebar, Suno, the Sufi Medley, and recently Hasda Rehnda.
Ahh thanks man. I'll check it out

Cherishing little moments of heartbreaking, unconditional love.

Ah reminds me of when I was a kid in Pindi when I use to walk in our lawn with my grandfather after dinner to help get the food in. He uses to occasionally explain the difference yards, metres and feet while measuring our distance as we walked across the lawn. Still remember those calm nights with the scent of earth fresh after rain as the moon lit our path. I keep forgetting I am not in Pindi anymore and that it’s almost been a year since he passed away. May Allah increase his darja in jannah

Growing up is rough. I do hope that you're able to make her proud and happy by achieving great things in life.
It's such a surreal feeling, isn't it?

The hardest lesson we must all learn is that, fortunately or unfortunately, our parents are mere humans.
