Salam to dear LRE members,

I just wanted to remind all that today Aug 2011 is the start of voter registration. We've been sleeping for too long and blaming each other for our mistakes. Arab, european counties have some sort of revolution under way, maybe its too much to ask but please do vote and think about it. Its time!!

Take care

Need Business advice

Everyone,

I see a couple of business discussions going on here so I am making one. Nowadays I am very frustrated about which business to opt for. I have MashAllah no shortage of funds. Can even invest 1 crore or more, but need a business with decent monthly income e.g 2-3lacs or more. At the moment, all I am doing is booking cars and selling them on premium or booking term deposits in bank. Despite monthly income from both these avenues, I am looking for a business which can give me better returns and satisfaction that I am not sitting at home and earning from bank and cars but going to office and doing something. Looking forward to your suggestions

Ali replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 03:15 AM PST 

I'm in a similar yet different situation, I have about 1 carore and I'm in Canada with usual 9 to 5 accounting job. What do you guys suggest? I'm not satisfied with life here and wanna be home. Is there any stable business I can set up that will provide me 2lac or close?? Thanks guys. Sorry rahim bhai, I guess I'll benefit from info provided here too

Riz Khan replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 07:21 AM PST 

Gents,

do not trust anyone first rule, second nothing comes easy one should have to work hard. 1 crore is not considered huge in pak but the most is your will matters and 1 crore is decent to start something. only do things in which you are expert and have experience or any work which inspires you where you get work satisfaction even the return is low.

suggestion : Retail stores, Shoe stores, Restaurants only if you know how to run, My suggestion learn shoe range in pak study shoe range, study
prices and quality and then go china bring a container of mix shoe open a store at nice location and sell. slowly you will start getting good return but not in beginning.

Regards
Riz

Dear all,

There are so many learned and talented readers on this web site.

I want to float an idea that instead of having solo flight in commencing business on an individual basis and facing so many risks,we better consider syndicate financing and initiate medium size projects such as hospital, shopping centre, school, quality resturant, bakery, supermarket, a small factory etc etc.

Comments and proposals are requested from the experienced brothers.I am keen for one at Rawalpindi/Islamabad specially DHAI Phase 2.

Shahzad replied on Thursday, August 25, 2011 02:54 AM PST 

Lemme tell u... I have also returned from UK... and started by own DAIRY FARM (Lahore) ... it is not an easy business... very tough, but if you pass first two tough yrs, then you can start making good profit .. this business really needs patience as one has to learn but RECOMMENDED !!

Ali Doha replied on Thursday, August 25, 2011 01:25 PM PST 

Dear Abu Tahir, thanks for your very informative try:
As per above your info Penut profit for 700 Kanal =Rs.70 Lac = 10,000 per kanal = 80,000 per acre and this is green crop not ripped one. May be ripped one can reached to double i. e. Rs.160,000 per acre (1.6 Lac).
My question is : Is this Penut crop can be grow on Irrigated plain land like in Punjab (where growing wheat, rice & Sugar Cane)

Abu Tahir replied on Thursday, August 25, 2011 06:16 PM PST 

Dear Ali,

Sorry I was misunderstood as I did not clear well!

These are the lump sum amounts against which the whole fields were sold.
The owner has to deduct his expenses, ploughing cost for at least twice, could be thrice, fertilizers, levelling for dirt lumps etc. The profit is 70% of the lump sum offer.

The peanut could only be lucrative if grown in sandy soil otherwise ripping, as you say, is a pain and very expensive. Own ripping is very difficult. Unfortunately the profit comes from the Afghan family’s labour as whole family put together their efforts in the field.
You have to have 100s of labourers to harvest and that’s where the profit falls sharply.
The Afghans are not in loss as when they come they bring 1000s of sheeps with them and they feed their herds from the redundant green peanut left-overs.

Irrigated lands are not sandy if I am not wrong and there harvesting may be expensive.
Why not wheat? Almost Rs 1000 per Mond (40 KG) and if rain poured in time, this is also as good as peanut.
One can have supporting business such as poultry farm, fish farm, goat farm etc, if you can manage a whole family permanently living there to take care of everything. This family could be given share of the profit, free milk and butter from the animals and sheep wool,for grazing the live stock.

Why plot of Nargis Block is so less in price as compared to other blocks.

I have also heard that there are big life style blocks of upto 18000 sq yards avaiable ib Bahria town executive lodges. Could you kindly give some idea of their price.

Adil Saeed 03224009967 replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 01:28 PM PST 

Exective lodges rates is Rs 32 to 37 lacs per 500 sq yards.

Not houses in Nargis block yet so rate is low.

JUST FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF PARK VIEW FILE HOLDERS.


Case # 6161-10,humaira najmi vs dha is a different case as i checked, it is about gift property that a judge gave to his daughter in park view and dha put tax on it.so its not from PARK VIEW FILE HOLDERS.if some one can tell the case # i'll be very thank full.CMY sahib plz help.just wano know the case number to get UPDATES about Park view.BEST REGARDS AND THANKS.

WIK replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 12:10 PM PST 

Whatever the case # is, I would not expect a decision from court to do the balloting on so & so date. I think DHA has already submitted in the Court that they are willing. But may have linked it with land development issues which they are trying to resolve. I personally think that after development starts in Phase VIII, then there can be some progress. I am also holding one file of ParkView and since i can hold it for another one year, i am going to give it a try (since the loss is huge on immediate sale).

CMY replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 01:31 PM PST 

We dont know of any court case pending in court for Parkview
files. Some one may have filed a case about its ballot but we are not aware of it or case number etc.

Status & Balloting for CDA Park Enclave Islamabad

As per info obtained from CDA IBD, the total number of Applications for Park Enclave is about lesser than(about 100 in numbers) the availabale plots. So it is very much certain that all the applicats(Fortunately or Un-fortunately) will get the plots. The appointment of the staff for Balloting has not been done and it is in progress. Still there is no certain date for Balloting but it is certain that it will take time as the data of the applicants is not sorted out and finalized yet and it is in progress.
We can requests the friends from IBD like Mr. Atiq Raja to give their views about this CDA Park Enclave about its future and current market value, location, the area and development. We expect that the friends from IBD will give some time to the brothers who have applied for these CDA Park Enclave plots.

Regards,

Waseem Malik replied on Monday, August 22, 2011 10:11 PM PST 

CDA has absolutely no legitimate base to go for Enclave project when CDA’s 22 year old projects are still in limbo.

CDA has committed moral economic and ethical crime with all those who have bought plots in these sectors to make their dreams home.

CDA’s ‘intentions” are seriously doubtful. All involved parties must be penalized.

Visitor replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 01:47 AM PST 

Park Enclave got setback on announcement of Bahria Enclave which was half of Park Enclave price. Therefore, in my opinion, Bahria Enclave may be successful.

Bahria Enclave replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 04:14 PM PST 

Any news about Bahria Enclave revised master plan and the timeline when plot numbers would be allotted to the applicants?

atiq raja. replied on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 08:21 PM PST 

in cda enclave out of 700 plots 600 plots are booked.

Maha replied on Monday, August 29, 2011 03:58 AM PST 

When are the plot numbers going to be announced ? It's been a month since the deadline date for balloting was supposed to be held. And how can one get the money refunded ? Wats the procedure? If cda is taking such a laid back approach and attitude, I'm not interested in the venture anymore

Tahir replied on Friday, September 2, 2011 12:47 PM PST 

visitor.I am quite positive that the project will be a success.However CDA should handle it as per its schedule.Non adherence is giving rise to doubts about the professionals of CDA.

Nasir Khan replied on Saturday, October 8, 2011 03:48 PM PST 

Politicians are pushing chairman CDA to get the plots in Park Enclave. Now the danger is CDA raise fund from genuine allotees and spend on acquiring new land or development of scheme for MPA, MNA and others currupt politicans.

Tariq Javed replied on Saturday, October 8, 2011 03:51 PM PST

Intimation letter of Ballotting

Dear CMY sahib
I succeeded to get a 5-marla plot in phase-9 in recent ballotting. I did not receive any intimation letter so for. Should i wait or contact DHA for intimation letter?
Thanx for guidience

Ejaz replied on Monday, August 22, 2011 11:50 AM PST 

I called DHA and enquired the same about Intimation letters, returning of payments to un-successful applicants and transfer of newly ballott plots. The answers are as below:

1-Intimation letters preparation is in progress. It will take further Three to Four Weeks to deliver the same to successful applicants.

2-The payment to un-succesful applicants is in progress and will be in full swing after Three weeks.

3- As rumours here that newly ballot plots will be transferred only after full payments is not true and confirmed. In general, as per DHA, the full payment is required before transfer for READY TO CONSTRUCT plots for which posession is available. For plots, which are not ready for posession, those will not require full payment before transfer(like Commercial Plots on MB of Phase -VI which are not yet fully developed). Further, the same conditions will also be mentioned in the intimation letters.

For further cross checking and confirm the above info, the readers may call/
contact DHA:

on E-MAIL ADDRESS dhalahore@dhalahore. or

I have received an official intimation letter from
Dha lahore regarding commercial plot in dha phase 8 CCA1 latest ballot and it clearly states that my plot can only be transferred after clearing all dues!
I am not sure about phase 9 residential plots but since phase 8 commercial CCA1 is not ready for possession and I still cannot transfer it without paying full dues then I assume the same would apply to phase9 residential plots also.

bought house in Pakistan by name of my mother. There was one of family acquaintance (he knew our family for 20 years) convinced my mother and father to sell this house and invest in his small auto parts business and he will give him HALAL good fluctuating profit. My parents invested Rs. 6 million (without consulting me as my brother in law advised them also it is good business and after 2 year 2 houses can be made----surely it was greed!!) and this man gave fluctuating profit for 6-7 months to my parents and gave nothing since 2010 and I came to know this in Aug 2010 during my visit to Pakistan and demanded my money back, he started saying I will give back within 6-8 months. After constant delay from his side I involved my father in law and his friend.

Finally I took the matter to one of friend who is a property dealer and “good friend of my father in law”. In Jan 2011 he gave us me two post dated cheaques and also gave his property papers and wrote stamp by my name to sell the property to us but “fard” not yet transferred to his name as it was originally his father property and he got as VIRASAT (his brother and sister already signed in his favor).

To cut short we have stamp paper that he borrowed the money, we have stamp paper that he named his property to us and we have two post dated cheaque PKR 7 million from this man one is stale (6 months old) while other is without date.
Please need some trusted money recoverer party (%age basis) as I have full documnts that can help.

Treatment for Parkinson disease (suggestion needed)

Aoa,
My father has been diagnosed with Parkinson disease last year. He can move in slow phase but for little time, he cannot sit stand by himself and very difficult for him to keep balance, often falls in washroom.
I have taken him to few neurophysician here in peshawar and all of them advised the common medicines "Sinamet", "Pk-merz" and "dophamine" with slight variation in doses but there is no improvement at all after a 7,8 months usage. i.e. the symptoms remain as it is and increasing with time.
Please suggest me a good and understanding Neurophysician in Peshawar or Islamabad/Pindi, or if there is any doctor here on the forum who could help with these medicines uses or any other advises which could help my father to keep balance and improve his movement.

Masood replied on Sunday, August 21, 2011 08:55 PM PST 

AOA Brother Imran,
Unfortunately, there is no cure for this disease. Levodopa/Carbidopa are standard regime for the treatment of this disease.
They can delay the full on set of this disease. There are some newer meds however the combination of these two are still considered as a gold standard in the early stages of this disease.

AG replied on Sunday, August 21, 2011 08:59 PM PST 

@Imran

Imran Bhai I read a research article recommending at least two cups/day of coffee for Parkinson patients.

ZA replied on Sunday, August 21, 2011 09:20 PM PST 

I am sorry to hear of your father's condition. Medicines would help, though it takes long, so be patient.

It is recommended to stick to one neurologist, as most will manage the condition in a similar manner, sticking to one will be beneficial for your father, as the physician would be able to appreciate the progression of the disease.

Prof. Sardar Alam used to be a big name in neuro at Peshawer, you may consult him.

Prayers for your father.

Brother Imran! There is no cure for Parkinsonism. The medicine which your father uses replaces the missing hormone but they are short lived.The most important thing in management of Parkinsonism is to take the medicines exactly as presribed and exactly at the same time. This can be difficult but because as soon as the medicine is metabolised the deficiency sets in! So check with the physician and give medicines exactly at the prescribed time.

MAS replied on Monday, August 22, 2011 02:46 AM PST 

Dear Imran I am in the same boat. My father too was diagnosed with Parkinsonism about two years ago and I am still learning about the disease and searching for solutions. He too has difficulty getting up from chair and has slow movement. This is called Bradykinesia.

He too have been prescribed PK-Merz and Sinemet. I have read that Sinemet can cause side effects like depression, hallucinations, worsening of involuntary movements, dizziness and many other possible side effects are there. Furthermore my father also has slightly enlarged prostate for which he takes medicines. I have also read that Parkinson medicines tend to worsen the urinary symptoms associated with enlarged prostate. Due to these reasons I have so far resisted giving him any medicine for Parkinsons at all. I have been told by doctors that Parkinson medicines DO NOT slow or delay the progression of disease, they merely control the symptoms so it is okay to delay taking medicines as long as symptoms are mild or manageable. My father was seen by Dr Tariq head of Neurology at PIMS but I have also been recommended Dr Mazhar Badshah of PIMS and Dr Arsalaan at Shifa Internatinal, Islamabad.

There are other ways to manage the disease. Have metal pipes/bars installed on the side of W.C in the wash room so he can use it as arm support in order to get up. Also have metal handles installed near the shower area which he can grab for support and to avoid falling. Make sure to have thick wall-to-wall carpet in the room so that there is no injury in case of fall. Have night light switched-on 24 hours in the rooms under his use. Make sure there is nothing on the floor (like small piece of carpet or shoes)that may come in his way. Make sure his trousers/shalwar are of short length so he can wear them easily. His chair should have firm base without incline and with straight back.

Encourage him to stay active and take a little walk in the lawn daily. It is not the end of the world. Over time the patient gets used to his condition and continues to enjoy activities like reading, watching TV etc However each person and his progression of disease is different. Wish you all the best. If you like you may give your email address so we can share any useful tips in future. Brother AG thank you for the interesting tip.

Finally thanks to brother CMY for allowing such topics on this forum.

Dear Imran,

Sorry to hear about your father.

There is no cure for Parkinson's disease. Medication help in controlling the symptoms.

Make sure that the treating doctor is a fully qualified specialist and than stick to their advice. Unfortunately many doctors in pakistan use the word 'Consultant' even though they are not fully qualified specialists.

Patients react differently to medication so the treatment needs to be tailored according to the needs of the individual.
Do not stop or change medication on the advice of family, friends or other people on any internet forum. I am sure they have sincere intentions but they are not doctors and not fully aware of your fathers condition. No offence to anyone.

Some useful advice above by Mr MAS reagrding making the home more safe and comfortable for your father.
I can't recommend any specialist in Pakistan as I am not in Pakistan.

You might find this site useful (
www.parkinsons.org.uk), however some of the information is only relevant to patients being treated in UK.

May Allah help your father and family.

BW and stay positive.

Homeopathy can cure the disease but the success rate is very low and the main problem is that, it is hard to find a real homeopath in Pakistan, there are quakes everywhere.

AG replied on Monday, August 22, 2011 04:08 PM PST 

@Raheem.

I have personal good experience with Masood Homeopathic Clinic located in Gharri Shahu Lahore & I recmmend it if some brother wants to Try Homeopathic system for any disease.

Regards.

MAS replied on Monday, August 22, 2011 08:10 PM PST 

I may add here that sharing of personal experience is never meant to replace doctor's advice. It is however important for the care taker to develop a good understanding of the issue (from authentic literature and support groups if available)in order to better interact with the doctor and to properly watch out for side effects usually not explained by the doctor. Even drug interactions are sometimes overlooked by "foreign qualified" doctors. For example a neurologist(multiple FRCP from UK)prescribed Ascard to my father without asking if he was already taking low dose asprin for other reasons.

I would like to reaffirm Dr Salman Malik's important cautionary note regarding not stopping medicine on the advise of family, friends or internet forum nor should anyone offer such advice. Sticking to one qualified doctor is also important for proper monitoring of the patient.

Some more tips for Imran. For balance issues buy a walker from the drug store. That might help in walking without falling down. Use elastic bands in Shalwars so he does not have to tie "Azaarband". Here is another link that might be helpful: http://www.pdf.org/
If any reader knows about any support group for Parkinson's in Islamabad/Pindi area kindly do advise.

Imran replied on Monday, August 22, 2011 09:18 PM PST 

Thank you all brothers for usefull information and wishes, and many thanks to CMY also for allowing the discussion.

Yes I know that the disease is not cureable but I needed suggestions for controlling the symptoms and making him feel better. Actually he is very dishearted by this because he used to be a very active and independent before and do all his activities by himself, not only his own works but he would always try to do our works as well which would make him feel much better, and he still tries to do different things but i stop him because of the fear that he would fall etc, this not only makes him sad but us also. The major issue he faces is the dependence i.e. he does not want to be dependent on anyone (although we all love to serve him by any means) but its human nature.

Yes I have tried the famous Sardar Alam and Dr. Adnan in peshawar also, but the problem is that all of them prescribes the same medicines which is almost of no use, that is why my father also sometime stops all medicines and says they are not working, but i somehow force him to use them. Even the later one told us that no need to come again as he has to use these medicines for the rest of his life.

Brother MAS, I am sorry about your father also. I can imagine what you would have gone through and going now. May Allah improve his health also.
Thanks for your valuable suggestions, some of them i have tried already, and will do the rest also.

hm homeopathic....dont think if i should take the risk then
