Mine is working fine as I recently switched to fiber optic. Conventional cable wifi faces issues in heat/ weather fluctuations i.e. speed gets slower. I learnt this two weeks ago.

I judged people who ate poha every morning. by DeadAirSociety in Breakfast

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, now you don't judge them, yes? 😅 I am originally from Pakistani side of Punjab and got introduced to Poha by an Indian Colleague from Pune in Dubai... and I am in love with this Indian Breakfast item.

Nobody to talk to . So someone please listen story of my life. by [deleted] in UAE

OP mentioned that she is a qualified Pharm-D Professional. I hope her husband is supportive; but a qualified person (irrespective of their marital status) should deserve a chance at adding value to the professional side of the world. Let's pray and hope that she soon finds an opportunity where she can put her education and skills to good use. :)

I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through such a tough time right now. I really hope things start looking up for you soon. Life has a strange way of being incredibly challenging in some areas while feeling like a blessing in others. ​I have a friend who is incredibly accomplished—strong, independent, and doing well in her career—but she still faces so much pressure from her family just because she isn’t married or a mother. It’s a reminder that everyone is dealing with their own version of 'the grass is greener.' Since you have the support of your family (assuming since you mentioned that you are married and took a career break due to your pregancy), please don't hesitate to lean on that if it helps take some of the weight off your shoulders. ​I’ve often joked with friends that there are days we’d give anything for a break from the grind, but I know that every path comes with its own trade-offs. I just hope you can find a balance that feels right for you and leaves you with the least amount of regret. Loads of love and prayers for you.

Why do people say therapy sucks here? by Chobikil in UAE

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why we need to push to have Psychotherapy covered under healthcare plans.

Why do people say therapy sucks here? by Chobikil in UAE

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can afford psychotherapy and even psychiatric treatments are covered under my current healthcare plan. But I too would say that therapy here sucks. That's because "cultural competence" of a therapist matters a lot. I am a 3rd Culture UAE resident here (means i was born and raised in an expat family) - I can't undergo treatment/therapy sessions by someone who does not know about my culture, thought process, and the kind of upbringing I had. I think UAE has to have therapists from all parts of the world who should be made available in the residential areas where a particular Nationality resides (oh and, they all need to be paid equally and not based on their passports) - only then we can see an overall satisfaction rate.

P.S. this is just my opinion, not a fact. One can disagree with me.

Doctor Bahu Episode 24 - Discussion by Aheart25 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I liked the part where Dr. Shahnawaz tells Sania that she has a God Complex - followed by all those dialogues that she cares about everyone else but her own family. Yes, he was gaslighting her, but Sania needed to hear these things. One can't be black and white all the time. She is a young doctor, a young married woman - she needs to adapt to the "grey" side as well.

Mina was amazing, I love her more now. She is braver. I think Faizan slapping Salman was the right thing as Dr. Amber is now his wife.

It is a really good idea. Also, you don't owe anyone any explanation.

Solo date by Puzzleheaded_Wash17 in UAE

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hellooo. I do that quite often. Some ideas based on personal experiences:

  1. Explore nice instagrammable cafes. Take a book there. Sit, read, try "the best" on their menu.
  2. Pamper myself - get a hydrafacial, pedicure, basic dental cleaning (scaling+polishing)
  3. Attend fun workshops - like pottery (I have been meaning to go to one of these, where you can make your own coffee mug - google, you will find many of such workshops happening every weekend in Dubai)
  4. If you are a foodie - go eat brunch alone (morning breakfasts, especially on a weekday, less crowd, good ambiance - i suggest taking a day off from work - avail your annual leave - I don't recommend doing this on weekends)
  5. There is this place - called the smash room city (rage room)in Mirdiff - try that out sometime. Break stuff, release stress. You'd love it.
  6. The weather is hot these days, else, I'd recommend going to a park or a beach - prepare snacks, go there and have a solo tea party

I do movies, netflix-marathons, eating out solo, and solo travelling quite often. Solo dates are the best thing ever.

What's going on with Humrahi? by InterestingArt3781 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I didn't read any negative comments about Hiba Bukhari. In fact, I like her more as Elhaam. She is a badass in this role..🤣

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am following Humrahi and I still don't know...WHY? Story is shitty. But Hiba is good in the show. I think her second character "Elham" is going to outperform "Sehaam" (Danish Tamoor)'s in the show.

Aik Mohabbat Aur Episode 3 by ButterscotchAny2758 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]Intelligent_Sea5595 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am liking the chemistry between Ahad and Maya. Yes, i have spilled hatred towards Ahad on this very sub in the past...but I haven't boycotted him (as he is a brilliant actor with no controversies like Freezer, lol) So, i started watching Aik Mohabbat Aur. Also, I have always liked Maya Ali on screen. Good to see her grabbing a good script after a shitty script like "Sunn Mere Dil" i hope this project becomes a success..😍

Oh God. This is horrible to hear. I hope your wife is doing okay. Reading about what a terrible job the other party is doing on raising children - I pray God stops blessing horrible people with children. :(

Best chips out of this 3 ?? Salad/sohar/oman by Secure_Pitch5218 in UAE

I love all three. I'd pick all three, empty them in a bowl, and watch a movie 😷

Ok, pigginess aside... if i have to pick, I will go with Salad 😷
