Living in PAKISTAN - "Defence a Bubble" (Part 1)

When you’ve spent your whole life living abroad it’s honestly impossible to really know what living in Pakistan is like. Straight up never in a million years did I initially picture my life here to be the way that it is. In the time that I’ve spent here, the two polar opposite sides of living in Pakistan always blew my mind and for the longest time, I’ve wanted to be able to turn the things I see on a day to day basis into something other people could see and understand too. So here’s “living in Pakistan” through my eyes.

Lmao sup. I just moved here from NY to Lahore. Like literally this January. And I love how people understand more of our western culture than we understand theirs. Btw I live in DHA and its kinda epic. Theirs a McDonald’s, epic restaurants and nice schools (well kinda). And even in those schools you’ll still find people from abroad that came to Pakistan for the same reason as you xD. Also I underestimated before I got here how much Urdu I needed to learn. I could say I fitted in but idk I think some stuff are missing :/

[@raziyasultana1865]

Visit lahore and Islamabad and also northern areas. Best of luck!

[@rayanmalik5432]

You can go to behria town that's even better to Defence.. defence is actually DHA (Defence Housing Authority) which was once the area given to the retired army officers and was under thr observation of Army itself. In lahore, you can move to Behria or Defence or even Model Town. All are way better than the ones in Karachi.

@@fizzashaikh1418 I kind of agree. It's the same argument as moving from Village to a City tho. Don't you think village has some of it's own charm? Just like that there is a special taste to life in Pakistan that isn't present anywhere else.

[@MuhammadHassanHTechreviews2002]

@@fizzashaikh1418 Move out of the country you were born in and serve the one you adopted because of its comfortable way of life. This selfish mentality of the Pakistani upper class and unfortunately most of our brilliant people is what's harming us the most. If only half of our genuinely talented people that move abroad to seek a better life were to stay back and persist no one would need to move abroad ever again. If only people could let go of their selfish needs and try and contribute to the greater cause of trying to better our own homeland we would be way better off. One human lifetime in the grand scheme of things is insignificant and if one spends one's time in trying to benefit one's self only and not trying to give back to one's country then such a person has wasted their life away because that already developed country isn't going to care about you coming or going but if you were to work for the wellbeing of your own country and positively try to change it for the better then you will leave your impact and your legacy behind. Running away is easy, persisting in the face of hardships to benefit one's motherland is very difficult but revolutionary change doesn't happen overnight. It takes a lot of time and effort.

Unless you have lived abroad,or have a broad mind,you arent really going to understand Alina's difficulties in moving to Pakistan after living abroad for her whole life.Pakistanis always seem to turn their nose up at returnees or insist that bahar kay loag kay nakhray bohot hein.Why is it hard to understand that they grew up in a different culture,and different standards?These are your own citizens who have come back for whatever reason.Taunting them or telling them to go back where they came from is revealing more about locals than they realise.Also she has stated her mom's a foreigner and her dad's Pakistani.Give her a break.She is going to compare,everything is new for her.Many people don't like the smell of local milk,bottled water is strange...and can make you sick..that's why the water has to be boiled before you drink it.She is saying that she realises she lives in a privileged part of Karachi,but even that's new to her and shes trying to navigate through it.what I'm getting from the video is that she is experiencing culture shock,and shes trying to be positive.Trying to help her,give her suggestions and help her adjust would be kinder,and give her a positive outlook here in Karachi.

As a British Pakistani, whose family orginates from Karachi. I can tell you for a fact that you are living the Privilege Lifestyle over there. I have been to Karachi many occasions, it's a great city 👌 Currently, Karachi is under a huge development as well with recent Skyscrapers being built up. However, my family comes from the poorer districts and still choose to live in there. Often when I do travel I tend to go to the 'fancy places' like Cliffton and the DHA areas. Believe me there's a VAST difference in lifestyle and people you meet there compared to those outside the privlidge inner-circle. Your houses in DHA can range between £150,000 - £2million (depending on districts). Still it's worth noting, that for the lower-end of the Market you can find a 4 bedroom property, which for £150,000 is none existing to have that home in the UK. Houses are better and cheaper in short, compared to the West. But, if you going to live in Karachi, you better have a Job or Business that pays you very nicely.

A Burger boy/girl is a person who pretends to be a foreigner. She actually lived in New Zealand her whole life, so she’s not pretending. Burgers are spoiled brats who’re always crying, running to their parents complaining about everything. Burgers pretend that they’re from abroad when they’re really not. They’re always wearing western clothes and rarely ever shalwaar kameez.

[@alinaeem3205]

I like the concept of the Defence bubble. In Pakistan, there are other private housing societies like Bahria Town that also offer a decent lifestyle. However, the Defence bubble is a phenomenon where you get all the essentials within the same vicinity, and your life pretty much revolves around these privileged areas. This can lead to the misconception that most Pakistanis live similarly, when in reality, such people make up no more than 20% of the population. Many private housing authorities are owned or run directly or indirectly by the Army. Therefore, if you aim to live a decent and privileged lifestyle in Pakistan, you might need to consider areas owned by the Army, as they are the ones who control Pakistan, rather than civilian Governments.

[@salimraza4116]

Beautiful life is, having your family back and siblings to tease. People with clean hearts, sharing your pains and also sharing your happiness are the things which really matters in life. Alhamdulillah I am living in Lahore most beautiful area but whenever i visits Karachi especially Korangi for some family events. I always thinks how helpful and happy are these people. Whenever you got lil trouble 5 to 10 completely strangers to help you. Whenever, i talk with the people about issues they are optimistic. They always said Alhamdulillah for what they have and Inshallah for betterment. Self satisfaction in them is out of this world. In the end what we wants is just self satisfaction

i was born and raised in Saudi Arabia till i was 12, i spent my whole childhood as a completely spoiled rich child, being used to seeing big villas and the latest sports cars everywhere, eating in the luxurious hotels and café's every weekend. But when i came to Pakistan my life completely changed, see, my house in Pakistan isn't in the defence bubble, its where the burgers and bun kebabs meet 😂 the middle. Im 20 now, and what i learned living here is that the rich lifestyle is amazing and shit no doubt but the thrilling fun of having a midnight drive to the sea view with all your cousins cramped in just one car or taking out every penny out of every one of your bags to contribute in ordering pizza at 5 o clock in the morning with your friends is unmatched.

So,i also lived in ksa(saudi arabia) for 13 years and now i came to pakistan.we also live in defence but in another city which is not too big.at first it was really hard to settle and we faced the same problem of water and milk and espacially yoghurt. And in here there are not much fast food restraunts nor bakeries and others.And if i talk about school it is good but it doesnt have a/c which is the biggest problem for me. But,still i am proud to be a pakistani #pakarmy♥️
