With a day remaining in the departure to Islamabad, to join the new company, I am already feeling the loneliness which is waiting to haunt me for a few initial days. Nah, it's not that bad! Maybe it is. Exactly, this is the confused state of my mind currently so I am better off being somewhat careless on these thoughts.
Karachi is one of those places which have people who make maximum use of what is available, depending upon the constraints. The same applies to the social life and the people conducting the socials. Hence, I will surely miss this social life there in Islamabad, at least for a few months. Though it's pretty obvious that other aspects of life are better in Islamabad than the hometown. E.g. the corporate culture as far as software industry is concerned, the standard of life, city structure, atmosphere, weather, profile of the dwellers, etc. and what else, it's the capital!
Having said that, there are a few things which can be counted as cons for a person like me. Firstly, the social life, then we have the lack of outing places, the standard & profile of people living there (it seems hard to get good company), the distance from family and most of the time being lonely. I hope there are good gamers out there in Isloo.
Packing the stuff these days physically and mentally, yet to give final touches to my baggage.
**Next: Will be writing the things learnt in the new city, from one of its internet cafes.

You sure will find very good people there. I would annoy Karachites, if I say any further.
The best place to find people worth knowing is to start looking on orkut.com. Search for communities with "Islamabad" in their name. "Islamabad Gamers" (http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=192678) for example, is a very good place to find gamers.
Orkut is now a very huge giant database. And it has now become a lot slower now.
And then there would be bloggers from Islamabad. See, for example, Sajjad Zaidi's blog at http://www.sajjadzaidi.com. The Net has matured from childish behavior on MIRC to serious bloggers and good focussed communities.
Hint: Buy a machine for yourself as soon as you settle down. Get a high-end one (a desktop one if you can't afford a laptop) and a good Broadband connection (atleast 512K - if that's offered in Pakistan). You will not be disappointed by the investment you make!
