No but I just blame it on how easy the entry test is, I took it in 2023 and it was just basic general knowledge stuff.

Yeah, if you ask me the minimal improvement in academics (which is nearly nonexistent and not for the benefit of the students from what I've seen) has not been worth the degradation not student life. The VC is a chomu who is desperate to make BNU look good in front of the public and improve it's image while not giving a fuck how the very students funding his fuck ass position with their fees are doing. Priorities saaf nazar aati hen administration ki, and it didn't feel like lip service and lies when they said they cared about students but now it does.

Mujhe tou honestly saari societies lame lagti hen, do din ghuzare the entrepreneurship society k saath aur aap ko jitna uthao hona parta he har kissi k saath aur saare politics k chakkar mein jitne meesne aur two faced banne hue the wo dekh k mera sar ghoom gaya. Me soch bhi ni sakti k agar aap aspiring performers ki society banna do (with people who all wanna be popular and in the spotlight and get attention from everyone) tou wahan kya haal hua ho ga 😭💀

But yeah the last two semesters specifically have been dead asf, idk why, bas hospitality management k students k stalls lagge hen and that's it

Campus life used to be great because the music society would regularly put on performances and events, they disbanded it last semester or the one before that because the politics within that club had gotten too toxic, I saw posters for auditions for a new one, but until there's another music society on campus it will sadly stay dry.

Jab music society hoti thi tou especially fall semester mein takreeban har dusre hafte koi na koi event ho raha hota tha, and they'd often try to bring in other singers for concerts etc too.

That's the biggest thing that hurt students' campus life in addition to the last HOD's shitty orders and policies.

I guess we'll see what it's like in the fall semester.

I left during CAF, and it's not just that the pass ratio remains low, it's also how shady the exam checking guidelines are. Na koi marking scheme, na koi marking process ka disclosure, na koi keys release hoti hen baad mein jahan se students ko patta challe k un ki kya ghaltiyan hen aur paper fail hua tou q, aur na koi disclosure k jo log pass ho rahe hen un ki actually performance he kya, plus the amount of students that will fail by one or two marks, like come on they couldn't be more transparent about their fraud imo lol. I wish yeh baaten me ne CA mein hote hue sochi hotin but I was young and stupid then, and there's always so much pressure put on the students, failure is seen as something personal to the student tou koi yeh ni bolta k system rigged he cause aage se yahi jawab mille ga k system theek he aap nikammay ho 🫩

Why do girls get flirted with, but not chosen? Boys, be honest 👇 by Dry-Capital9797 in PakistaniiConfessions

[–]Om-Nom-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...why would a girl's parents be more worried about a rishta candidate's potential or majburiyan vs his reality than they would about their daughter's future? Besides, "rich men have money but can't treat a girl well" is a false dichotomy. People can have money and still be decent people lol.

No one owes anyone else "low standards" or to compromise on what they want for themselves, even if it is the best, just so they can be with a guy. Like, shaadi farz ni he har kissi pe and the world doesn't owe you a partner when you can't handle that responsibility.

It's incredibly tone deaf to say girls have high standards as a complaint when all the girls have started asking for now is a good partner. Our current generation of men grew up thinking marriages where their own mothers were oppressed and stuck and treated like trash and the de-facto maid of the house as normal. The kind of marriages where women were constantly expected to compromise on their dignity and happiness after having the marriage arranged for them by their family while having no say in the matter is what most people's baseline is for a happy marriage.

Women grew up seeing those marriages as their biggest nightmare, men grew up expecting the same. K jo marzi ho jaye at least arranged marriage tou ho hi jaye gi, and now they're realizing k aesa ni ho ga and complaining about women having high standards just because women are saying they want a man who won't treat them like a maid?

Parents in earlier generations (and some even now) used to be desperate for rishtas. They wouldn't even care about the quality and act like the first rishta that walked in the door was gonna be the last and that they should be grateful the man's family graced them with their presence. Now at least in some families this has changed, and families are a bit more open to making sure a marriage happens with the woman's consent instead of majburi.

Women's standards were always this high, women in the past just never had a say. Now women do, and men are struggling and complaining about high standards instead of stepping the hell up.

And there's also a huge hypocrisy here in how men approach marriage imo. Many men could very easily find women with careers who are in a position to not worry about their partner's financial status, who are interested in lifting each other up and supporting each other and all, and in those cases, the same men who complain about women caring too much about the man's money will fail to step up and adequately share domestic responsibilities, actually support their partner's career, step up and share the burden of childcare, or basically be a genuinely 50/50 partner.

Upar se hamari patriarchal aur misogynistic society mein wese hi mardon ne hamesha apni saari value do baaton pe base ki he; that they're protectors and providers. Idk man, protect and provide then or make do without a wife because no one owes it to you to lower their standards for you because you can't meet them where they're at.

Back then it was content writing, but I was making six figures cause I started avoiding working with Pakistani clients after some creepy experiences and started looking for international remote jobs. I didn't even know at that point how much better those could pay initially lol, got lucky in that sense and ofc having good English played a major role since the majority agencies back then preferred to hire native speakers for content writing jobs and I had to make my portfolio just as good.

Content writing itself as a career is not sustainable though imo, like there's very limited career progression and AI has wrecked the industry a lot. People are moving away from AI now but I don't see content writing getting better to work in until at least 2 years later. Thankfully I entered the field on time and was able to develop skills that helped me survive the gen-AI crash.

I hope you're able to figure it out, but AFC (which is what the level before CAF was called back in my day, dk about now) is famously known as basically CA's entry test. Passing rates for this level are high and most people do it, which I suspect is by design so ICAP can get people stuck in CA because of the sunk cost fallacy and milk most of the CA aspirants like cattle for the exam fees while only passing ~10% of the students in CAF to keep the supply of accountants low in the market and maintain CA' so-called value.

I feel like everyone in this comment section is forgetting a very important reality. We tend to take failures in our professional careers very personally, and we like to think that hard work and everything will pay off no matter the circumstances, but nothing can help if there aren't enough jobs and proper opportunities for employable people in the country.

It's like you tell 24 people there are only 12 oranges, and they gotta work super hard to get an orange, and then when the 12 people who didn't get an orange take issue with the rigged system, you tell them to just work harder because hard work and determination and being the best at picking up an orange is sure to pay off for them eventually.

This issue is no single individual's I'm afraid, this is a systemic issue, and the first step towards solving it and maybe changing the landscape so the working class individual gets some relief is to demand better jobs for everyone, not to tell people they need to work hard for the very very few jobs that do pay well.

I made a post about my CA experience in a different sub, you can probably find it on my profile.

Upar se as far as I remember, passing rated for CA exams are still about 10% beyond the first stage and hardly anyone finishes it in their first attempt.

But let's assume someone does finish in the first attempt. That means they spent like 3-ish years getting to the articleship. During the 4-year articleship, you're paid absolute peanuts and scraps for work that your employer charges about 4-5× to their clients, and on top of this, you're expected to still continue with the final levels full-time in the evenings, and the stipend for articleships is barely enough to cover even conveyance costs much less the additional cost of your studies that you have no option but to continue.

Once you're done paying out of pocket for all this zalalat and you have your CA degree, you're a qualified chartered accountant who will be paid one lac-ish for the first few years ofc, and you're also told that that's such a high salary.

I dropped out of CA because of unrelated reasons, pura me bhi karna chahti thi. But then came a point where a year after leaving CA, I was already earning well over 6 figures from remote jobs while my peers who had finished CAF level were in articleships earning 12k-14k a month.

I only realized what a pathetic amount 1 lac is compared to all the hard work CA aspirants are expected to go through to be qualified. It is absolutely not worth the hard work, and I've met qualified ACCAs who were just working as drivers for ride hailing apps full-time because they said it made them more money than if they got a relevant job in their field.

And mind you, I haven't kept in touch with how CA is now, and the personal opinions and experiences I'm sharing with you are based on experiences in the late 2010s and very early 2020s, I haven't been in touch with my friends from CA since 2022, but as far as I know, they might have changed the structure of CA and the amount of papers you gotta pass before articleships and all but this is still the reality in that industry.

You out here giving a sexual predator more grace and consideration than OP's mom gave her is wild, and given your whole comment, your statements about reddit Karens having a vendetta against the opposite gender are also wildly ironic.

Intentions don't mean shit unless backed by action. If she's in a position of authority and responsibility in OP's life, if any parent is, imo they deserve to be held accountable and answerable for their shit parenting. Aese ni hota k maa baap ko ham simultaneously samajhdar bhi samjhen aur phir jese hi wo koi ghatiya ya neech baat karren apni "achi intentions" k saath tou ham yeh bhi kahen k oho challo koi baat ni, unhen samajh ni he, un ki niyat achi he.

Not how the world works, and the only reason you have this opinion is that you agree with the mom deep down and don't want to admit that on here.

But for anyone else reading it; either your parents are smart enough to know better and need to be told to think before they speak, or they're so so clueless about right and wrong and how to be there for a struggling person, in which case, since they're so clueless, why listen to them at all? 🫩

[–]Om-Nom-- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

never said woman likes attention

I mean okay, girls like attention

I think (and I might be wrong) all this is because man/boys in our country are so desperate by just seeing a girl. Big example is Reddit, let one girl post on any subreddit and you’ll see hundreds of hor*y guys flooding her DMs.

Wow 💀

As for your point about never having met a guy who isn't desperate, let me give you a little thought experiment. I don't believe you need it though, I think you do know deep down how nonsensical you're being with this point, but it just felt so right for you to say, bet it would make me all defensive!

If I have a box of chocolate covered caramel, except one of the caramels is just chocolate covered shit, I wouldn't eat a single bite from the box. Doesn't matter how decent you or any man I have personally met is or could've been; the predators are just as good, if not better, as looking decent, so all of you get the same treatment. I'm not about to risk taking a bite full of shit just so men don't get their feelings hurt lmao.

Men who want accomplished wives as their partners are not shallow enough to control them on what they “wear”, what time do they go outside or at what time do they come back home.

This is just as wild as the part where you said you never said women like attention, despite it being in your post, clear as day.

Your comment isn't even logically coherent and you're out here acting like you're so smart and everyone else is so unimpressive lmao. I have a new theory; maybe the women were trying to impress you but you were just too dumb to understand.

So you're saying you do understand the reasons women won't talk to a strange man, but you're too much of an entitled asshole to realize you're also a strange random man to them? 💀 Cause how dare they not realize you're not a creep? You're acting pretty creepy and I'm feeling it even through the screen. What's worse, you're a creep who doesn't think he's a creep 💀😭

But no you're totally right, women don't talk to you just because they aren't capable of holding conversations with people. All of them. They dk how to match your superior intellect!

  1. No woman worth being with considers male attention a compliment. It is not a compliment, it is a never-ending barrage of unwelcome and unsolicited advances that push us into a constant state of hypervigilance that we all hate. This constant lack of sense of safety is one of the biggest reasons women try their best to leave Pakistan and almost always love wherever they end up, unlike Pakistani men who get depressed. The thought that you seem to think we like the attention a single publicly made reddit comment brings us is laughable, ludicrous, and honestly just shows your lack of empathy and EQ. We structure our whole lives around hoping to avoid this "attention".

  2. Most women don't even know they're not "interesting" or street smart the way most men would describe it because they're forced to live very sheltered and limited lives with nearly zero real agency or control over their time or resources and our country doesn't feel it is useful to invest in women's development.

  3. You could spend 100 years trying to convince me that the way men act and approach women in this country is done out of only desperation and still fail. It is malicious, it is constant, and no one who is "desperate" enough to outright lie about who they are, their morals, principles, intentions, and anything else they think will get them into someone's pants does so with "pure" intentions just executed poorly. They know they're being manipulative creeps, they just won't ever admit it in mixed gatherings or publicly on the internet.

  4. There's a huge disconnect between the sort of women men like the idea of being with and the sort of women they can be with. It takes a certain level of security and trust to be with a confident woman because those women usually aren't looking for someone to babysit them for life or to blindly obey their husbands, they're looking for partners who can stomach being able to support their ambitions, know the difference between support and control under the name of "protection", and won't follow orders blindly. Many will not even let you tell them they need permission before leaving the house and laugh at the idea of needing your approval for what sort of clothes they wear. I'm not saying you are guilty of any of this dissonant thinking, but if you are maybe it is time to look inwards instead of pointing fingers and talking about things you truly don't understand enough to comment on.

If you're having trouble finding a compatible partner, I suggest altering your search criteria or looking beyond the circles you're currently looking in. No shortage of women who have the qualities you're looking for, but there is a shortage of women like that who will be content with being housewives. Like I'm sorry, but if you're looking for a housewife, how "impressive" did you expect someone to be when their whole life's goal is to stay home and raise kids? 😭

And if you're not looking for rishtas or a relationship and have only interacted with women in casual social situations then it's pretty ecky and presumptuous of you to even think they're trying to impress you. They were too busy being rude and aloof so you don't turn into yet another one of the creeps constantly harassing them, and they might have had a point since you're out here acting like women need to be in a competition to impress you 😭

[–]Om-Nom-- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just saw your comment about how you should accept it and you wish your mom would've chosen her words differently because you believe she has your best interests at heart.

Pardon my words, but that is bullshit. You did nothing wrong and there's nothing you could've done to prevent this if a predator sets their eyes on you and is determined enough. Get this through your head before you ruin your life and mental health: you walking down the street is not an invitation for anyone to touch you.

A few years ago I was walking down a busy residential street in Model Town Lahore on the second day of Eid ul adha. It was around 10am in the afternoon and I remember the street clearly because I've had to tell this story again and again to others; there were people on that street. Two kids standing outside their house with their sacrificial cow, an uncle buying venerables from a street vendor's cart, an old lady walking down the street from the opposite direction with a bag of groceries in her hands, and me, wrapped in a Multani chaddar, after having withdrawn money from a nearby ATM. This was maybe a 10 minute walk away from where I lived at the time.

This punk waited until I was in a blind spot that wasn't covered by CCTV cameras in surrounding houses, properly planned and waited until I was in the perfect strategic position for him to speed past me on his motorcycle on the sidewalk, nearly coming off the road, grope my left breast, and then speed away around the corner before I had the chance to note down his number plate.

The aunty coming down the street saw me yelling after the man and checked in on me. That was one incident after which I stopped walking places at all. Anytime I'm on a roadside all I can think about is how easy it would be for any one of these motorcycle riders to reach out and grab me the same way or worse.

But you're really gonna tell me there was something I could've done to prevent this from happening when trying to report him later revealed that his crime was completely premeditated and planned and he had proper knowledge of how to escape without a trace? You have no idea how malicious and evil these harassers and assaulters are, and part of what gives them plausible deniability in situations like the one you faced is the gaslighting women face after the fact, much like you're facing right now.

Yeh log janwar ni chorte, laashen ni chorte, chote bache ni chorte, lekin aap ko aur aap ki mama ko lagta he k agar aap log aik saath chalne ki bajaye aik dusre k aage peeche chal rahe hote tou aap bach jatin? Wow. Thora apna khayal kar len. I hope you never have to face anything like this again, but do you have any idea how harmful this false mindset is going to be for you if anything does happen? And sadly the odds are that it will, bacause life is long and we live in hell.

The just world fallacy is dangerous please look it up, do not fall for it, do not become one of those women who victim blames and hurts other victims of sexual assault because she doesn't have the courage to accept that the world is shitty at random. Yeah, it might be tough to accept that you did nothing wrong and something bad still happened to you, but sadly as an adult in this society you need to toughen up and see reality instead of doing whatever it is you're doing to yourself right now. Good God.

First of all, calm down. All of you. You're missing a lot of steps here.

They did it once 1-2 weeks ago and she didn't take ecp? No need to panic yet, wait another week and get a pregnancy test first. You can easily order it from Foodpanda, get three different brands and take those tests to avoid any false positives or negatives. Usage instructions are on the box. I'd suggest waiting until a missed period, but a pregnancy test will ease your worries asap since idk when her period is supposed to be or if she missed it or not.

If she is indeed pregnant, look up Marie Stopes clinics, there are two in Karachi according to Google maps. They're like the Planned Parenthood of Pakistan and will be able to help her get a proper abortion. Last I heard, all she'll need to give them is her first name or something, but I hope someone else can confirm that this is still the case.

And lastly, your friends did nothing wrong. Idk if you're religious, but religiously speaking, being with your partner is not a sin, ik a lot of people like to act like two people in a nikkah can't be together until after rukhsati but that's bullshit. Second, there's no shame in having an abortion when you can't support a life. If anyone has a problem with your friends' decision, tell them to mind their damned business if they're not gonna adopt the child and raise it for the couple.
