Here is one more idea that is not so hard to implement. However, it is not a business idea and won’t make anybody any money. Rather, it would just allow us to help each other.

Problem: We love to eat. Not only in the Rs. 1000 per person fancy restaurants but also in the filthy-looking-yet-serving-very-delicious-food dhabas and the thousands of other food mongers spread in the whereabouts of our cities and towns. One day you might be wondering who serves best palla machli in karachi but you will never know that it is the thele wala just by the entrance of Kemari. Unlike a developed country, small proprietors in Pakistan do not have a registered entity or an online presence or most of the times even a display sign.

Solution: Let’s put together a blog type website (or a wiki) where people can submit information about these hidden gems. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, a platform like ideashut would suffice. I think it is very simple to put together (I would have done it myself if I were the web developer kind..) but I am willing to contribute to buy the domain and hosting, if needed, and also to help maintain the non-technical aspects . If somebody is up to help in creating and maintaining the technical side..holla.

It’ll be pretty viral I think.
