Many a times we come across stories which are inspiring and worth talking about. Most success tales stem from a great amount of sweat, tears, hard work and perseverance. It is tough to start from scratch and climb your way up the ladder no matter what your vision may be. And while it probably was no easy feat for YouTuber Ahsan Irshad – an Islamabad-based aspiring chef – either, he is now on the way to turning his dreams into reality. Irshad’s Instagram profile @daguywhocooks has grabbed eyeballs in the recent past, with him being featured on BBC Urdu, Dawn, Geo, Hum and ARY News too. The go-getter has now posted a sneak peak of his upcoming project – a mini café he has surely put his heart and soul into.

There was no shop, just one tarpal on top, table and grill.
It was very rough, it was a real struggle now when i look back i only began to thank Allah for his countless blessings. pic.twitter.com/rPqSYsUuRx— Ahsan (@daguywhocooks) September 14, 2020
