The art of great chaye (tea)

Discussion Delivered with Jasim Zahid

Qazi Wahaj is always up for an extravagant challenge, be it jumping over fish ponds, jumping in a dam to save a guy, picking up public sign boards or faulty traffic lights. He is also one of the brains behind the small cozy dhaba in I-8 markaz Islamabad, where he wants people of all ages to come, sit, enjoy the greatest tea in the city and have meaningful discussions about social economic welfare, development and other important topics... with him. In this episode we talk about "Dhaba-e-Qaum," why he launched it and the experience so far, as well as his other ventures, such as his family-owned solar panel distribution company and his production house Markhor Productions. We also talk about what's it like being a father of two girls, the joys, pleasures and challenges of fatherhood, how that has made him more responsible and shun the rebellious lifestyle he used to embark on in his early teens and 20s.
