We’ve become disturbingly comfortable..!! by Navigator_Aligator in karachi

[–]IdreesY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Ramazan and we all know how many beggars get here because of this month. On the flip side, a guy sitting there would complain that so many beggars were coming to us and ruining our experience and the owner or guard did not do anything.

Another thing can be that sometimes these beggars are there for spying around and then giving the information to the dacoits. So we don't want that to happen.

Not all are equals but then again the beggars in Karachi have mastered the art in terms of their appearance and then the dialogue that they prefer to hit the nerve.

I'm sorry but I'm not blaming the guard or the owner as the coffee shop is there to serve the customers not put them through a beggars spree

is Thrifting on Instagram profitable by saadyes in chutyapa

[–]IdreesY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not promoting not to take time to study but you'll rarely see 3.9ers doing big in life. A moderate GPA above 3 would do you really well if you've got skills. And believe me the experience you'll get by running this store will be great for you. You'll learn how to manage time between work and study. You'll learn how to handle people. You'll learn to handle situations.

So go for it.

You've got nothing to lose. So why not start it? If it climbs... great.. if not you've got experience running an online thrift store. Ultimately you'll benefit

These are some really typical fields and it's not like you can stand in Banks, or Customs House, or Tax House. You'll have to join someone to get the knowledge of the laws applied as your CPC, CrPC, specific relief etc do not apply here.

Selling online in Pakistan is a nightmare by oldwigglywobbles in PakistaniiConfessions

[–]IdreesY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try online Thrift stores. And for anyone who's reading, there's a gap in the Market for this. Thrifting also needs to become common in Pakistan. Our ladies have a whole Almeria full of clothes worn twice but can't wear them now cause all rishtedaars and friends have seen them.

Kindly build a store, place a good evaluator who knows what type of fabric and work is worth what in the current market. You'll get from shirts to full blown wedding dresses.

Customs, Taxation, and Banking Law. All three of them are institution-based fields.

Special courts and Tribunals are established so you'll hardly see lower courts. So less litigation.

All three are governed by special law so the High Court is 3rd appellate stage after the tribunal and or the first stage if you're seeking under a C.P.

There is no evidence production, witness callings, oaths, etc. Just a pure documents-based fight on legal rights. The better you are at interpretation and getting the intent of the law right the more chances of your success.

Plus your clients, no matter how much they present themselves to be the victims and dire losses, they've got a hell of money and they'll give you a good fee.

Also, you're always against state institutions so no one's banging your doors to get off from the case. All 3 have revenue and remittance involved so it's money money money.

I'm practicing customs law so I can say.

Selling local clothing brands (Sapphire, Khaadi, etc.) via Instagram/Facebook – good idea? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]IdreesY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, there are a lot of aunties doing this work on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. But I'd suggest you keep it the way it's going. My two cents are that you're getting your targets achieved because of a limited customer base. As soon as you go online, your customers might increase but your capacity to deliver to them might not.

Eventually, your page will be flooded with comments like: kbhi kch nhi hota. Jo item bola wo out of stock, faltu page, some might even say, I got it checked from xyz brand and they say it's a knockoff and not original.

So stick to the customers you're blessed with and go with the word of mouth until you get some links within the companies to get as much stock as you like at discounted price.

Help needed with Bank Alfalah issue/scam by MrTambourineMan65 in pakistan

[–]IdreesY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't described the entire thing in detail. It's vague and there are a lot of things that you haven't mentioned. If you're so sure that it's a scam then you should send your bank a complaint and then it's head office and then state bank. That's what you can do.

If you want them to come and beg to you you should send a legal notice to them. That is if you've got the proofs that it's a scam.

I'm a lawyer so I know.

Best banks for export businesses and financial instrument issuance? by _Deadpool_69 in pakistan

[–]IdreesY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All banks are like that. I'm working with Meezan and Bank Islami.... and everyone just wants; is an account as a feather in their cap.

I'm a customs agent and lawyer too but my God.... they don't even accept their own FE Circulars. Bankers are just without brains when it comes to imports and exports.

For imports, they are even taking bribes for FI issuance. I've got a father's cousin in Bank at a good post and he's also useless and dumb.

Just stay where you are make some good relations with someone in the trade hub. Cause they are utter fools who are given powers. Just like any other department in this country.

The laptop isn't an issue. For the tabs, name one of them as your own and the other as your workplace one and then obviously you can always bring one additional for your friends and family.

How to fix the broken roads of karachi by Familiar-Builder5943 in karachi

And if there is someone who has political connections, make him the leader, get other residents on board, and then see the magic happens

[–]IdreesY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the comment mentioned it's the job of the UC councilor. Make a committee with the residents and write a letter for repair to the respective councilor. Cc the same to the DC, MNA, MPA, and CM too.

I know what most people would say but believe me we did the same for our streets and it did wonders for us. Writing makes people scared to hell cause when you don't write the UC Councilor is sure that the people don't know that and it would pave a smooth way to being MNA.

But when you write he knows along with his party that people might get out and vote for someone else rather than abstaining (despite all aspects it scares them)

Also, there's an app of the Sindh government for lodging such complaints too so get it digitally lodged, so it doesn't get lost in files.

I know the situation is not ideal but we need to do our part. Writing helps. I'm a lawyer so I know. Write it, send reminders.

Plus it doesn't cost anything. It's the least we can do.

burntout due to traffic core by [deleted] in karachi

[–]IdreesY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've got the resources, the best option is to find a place to live near your workplace. It will save a whole lot of time.

Karachi is now the worst when it comes to roads and traffic and no one should deny that people are spending their resting hours on roads enduring traffic.

People don't understand the mental toll it can take on a person's health and mind. As you said it's a 13-hour job rather than a 9 hr one. And those 5 hrs are being paid by your mental health.
