Pakistanis have a knack for finding joy in difficult situations. Regardless of the gravity of the issue, Pakistanis brave every adversity with a smile on their faces thanks to their unparalleled humor.
This very habit was on display yet again as the country woke up to a power breakdown earlier today. The national grid developed a technical issue at 7:34 AM, resulting in a power outage in most parts of the country.
Let’s have a look at some of the top Twitter reactions to this power outage.
This was the first thought that came to the minds of most Pakistanis when they noticed the electricity shutting down at an odd time.
