First week of working in Pakistan

[Donatello]

What are so many Indians doing in Pakistan?

There are a lot of Hindus in Sindh. Especially areas of Hyderabad, Sukkur, Shikarpur and Daharki.

I used to live in Daharki in 1993-5 and everyone from the surrounding areas were hindus. Most were shop owners, farmers etc.

Welcome to Pakistan Bilal, electricity loadshedding, gas loadshedding, CNG loadshedding ( although might be having a petrol car), but petrol loadshedding also happens, unruly traffic, and all.

But you will get used to it. WELCOME!!!!

The issues you highlighted are not an issue if you handle on time.

Petrol, keep your car filled up every week, and i am sure Bilal earns enough to afford good amount of petrol here.

Secondly, buy a Generator. Those 2KVA Honda ones. Enough to run a fridge, tv , fans and lights.


So you should be fine.

Bilal these arent just words - i really do mean it.
I commend you and your family up rooting everything and returning to the motherland. To settle in your own nation and leave your friends behind couldnt have been easy. You do your nation proud. Its a great thing to have done. Well done bro. Keep us informed of how you are getting on

Keep us updated on your life. Try to be friends with more locals. They can help in the time of need.

BTW, is your family with you? Or are you like living alone? And how is the housing? Company provided or rent?

Bilal Bhai what is your profession/occupation?

I'm an equipment qualification/CSV engineer. I've been given a managerial/supervisory role, with both technical & non-technical aspects to my work.

My family was already thinking of moving back to Pakistan before I did. I was all set to start work in Boston in December, as I had gotten a one year contract with a local commissioning & engineering services firm. But then, I got this very very good job from Novartis in Pakistan, & I took it. My mom is back in Islamabad, my Dad is on his last assignment in Africa (Ghana), & he should be back in Pakistan in about 2 years, when he's basically retired. I am in Sindh, close to Hyderabad, & I am managing things on my own. The company did offer me temporary accommodation, but I am looking for a permanent place. I have found a place in Latifabad "nau number", Hyderabad with the help of my friends at Novartis; & I should be finalizing the deal some point next week. It's a small one bedroom accommodation, but it's good enough. I'm off to a great start & things couldn't be better MashAllah. The work environment at the company is great, everyone is very helpful, like family. The job they selected me for has a lot to do with Novartis's expansion projects in Pakistan, & I am expected to play an integral part in it, so work will be very exciting (as I've already done work like this in the US).
