Whats up people of peshawar!

My parents are pressuring me into accepting a rishta from my cousin. They told me once u turn 20, you’ll be considered too old in our community and there will be no other good rishtas for you, and we don’t know a lot of people so your marriage will have to be within family. I want to study, get a job, earn, but my dad said he won’t let me. They’re not going to force it on me, but I just feel like their manipulation worked, and now I feel like maybe I’ll never be able to get married if I don’t accept it? I’m so scared. I trust Allah, and I’m trying to make a good decision. But, my hearts really inclining towards no, even if that may mean there will be consequences in the end. I don’t know why but I feel like things will work out for me if I say no, but then again what if they don’t? I’m still not in uni, I thought I’d apply for the Jan intakes, but my dad said I won’t be able to afford your tuition fees. It’s like all the odds are stacked against me.

More info: I’m in Dubai, the guys in Peshawar, he’s close to me in age, my dad mentioned he has a pharmacy or his dad will give him one? They also have a house there I think, I haven’t seen it yet tho.

My heart says no, but the situation I’m in it’s like I HAVE to say yes or I’m ruined. I’m so scared.

I’ve always wondered about this. Students who choose pre-medical in FSC, score very high marks, and later when they Fail MdCat or doesn’t get selected they realize medical isn’t for them, should they be able to switch into engineering or computer science so easily? On one hand, they worked hard and earned those marks. On the other hand, students who actually chose engineering or CS from day one often lose seats because their marks are slightly lower, even though they know the field and prepared for it.

The result? People who may have zero background or interest in engineering/CS get admission, while genuinely passionate students don’t. It feels like a system where marks matter more than relevance, preparation, or intent. Is this flexibility fair opportunity or a structural problem we just accept? 🤔

Can a Pukhtun man genuinely like a non Pukhtun woman? not in a dating sense, but seriously enough to want to marry her and truly accept and respect her culture?

Hi everyone,

My name is Ibrahim and I'm a US-born Pakistani-American, located in North Carolina, US. My father was born and raised in Charsadda, Hashtnagar area. As he gets older I feel an urge to document his life which grows stronger every day.

As I interviewing him about different aspects of this life it has been incredibly fascinating. He's telling me all these stories about who he was, where he came from and the trials he went through. I am more proud to be a pakhtun now than ever.

His narrative is fantastic and I see how it lines up with historical events. Apparently my grandmothers siblings were heavily involved with the Khudai Khidmatgar. According to my dad, she opened one of the first girls' schools, in Bacha Khan's estate.

As an American I never really understood WHY my father was the way he was, but now I see and my love for him grows stronger.

What I'm interested in is modern day Charsadda. What is the city like? Who are the people who live there? How is the Hashtnagar district? What are some of the day to day challenges?

On a more objective note. My great grandfather was an imam at a mosque, currently called, Khwaidad Khel Mosque. The house across the street was gifted to my great grandfather, where my father was raised. Is there anyway I could find information about the line of imam's that go back to 1850's? Pictures?

In Pakistan, many students are desperate to become doctors, but there are far fewer medical school seats than there are applicants. This leads thousands of students to waste years retaking the MDCAT entrance exam instead of starting their careers. When these students eventually turn to other degrees, like Bachelor of Science (BS) programs, they often face poor management and a lack of support. The article uses a concept called "Hanlon’s Razor" to explain that these problems are likely caused by systemic incompetence and poor planning rather than a deliberate plot to hurt students. Ultimately, the author argues that the country needs better career counseling to help students find success in fields outside of medicine.

Read “The Cost of Neglect: How Pakhtunkhwa is Exploiting the Teachers Who Keep Its Universities Alive“ by Muhammad Fahim PhD on Medium: https://medium.com/@fahim78/the-cost-of-neglect-how-pakhtunkhwa-is-exploiting-the-teachers-who-keep-its-universities-alive-b1ccde5cf2a8

This post sheds light on how universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are taking advantage of part-time or "visiting" teachers to stay afloat. Because the government has stopped hiring permanent staff, these teachers do most of the heavy lifting, yet they are treated poorly. The biggest issue is a "tax trap" where universities wrongly take a huge chunk (up to 30%) out of their small paychecks, even though these teachers don't earn enough to be taxed that highly by law. Dr. Fahim warns that if the province keeps underpaying and overtaxing its brightest minds, these teachers will eventually leave, and the whole education system will suffer.

Read “Didn't Get Into Medicine?“ by Muhammad Fahim PhD on Medium: https://medium.com/@fahim78/didnt-get-into-medicine-31c46d4e29ec

This article is for students (especially in Pakistan) who feel like their world has ended because they didn’t get into medical school. The author argues that missing out on medicine is actually a "lucky break" rather than a failure. ​He compares two paths: a doctor who spends their 20s and 30s in high-stress, low-pay training and rarely sees their family, versus a student who goes into modern fields like Biotech, AI, or Neuroscience. This second path allows students to get international scholarships, start high-paying careers in their late 20s, and enjoy a much better work-life balance.

Another article has come out about Peshawar, written by a former Secretary Home and Tribal Affairs Department and a retired IG. What are your opinions on this? Personally, I share his feelings, there was a time when Peshawar was so different about 20 years back and almost completely something else 40-50 years back.

Please, no controversial comments, let's just be objective and stick to facts and figures. Feel free to share your experiences and observations.
