The Day Pakistan Ran Out Of Chai !!!

What happens when a country that runs on chai… runs out?
In a near-future Pakistan, a sudden tea import ban sparks national chaos — no karak, no Tapal, no Lipton, not even doodh-patti.
Offices shut down. Marriages strain. Black market chai dens open overnight.
But out of the bitterness brews something unexpected: a revolution.

“The Day Pakistan Ran Out of Chai” is a sharp, satirical short story that blends absurdity, heartbreak, and hope — tracing how a nation reclaims its soul one rooftop teacup at a time.

If you’ve ever said “chai kay bina sar dard ho raha hai”… this one’s for you.
