Hotspot

If you are looking for Hotspot, we are right here in Shahdara E-1. It is a crowded area and the streets can be a bit of a squeeze if you are driving a bigger car. Most people just walk over from the nearby lanes. The shop is not very large, but we keep it organized enough so we can find what we need quickly. Every morning starts with pulling up the heavy shutters and sweeping the front step. The dust from the road is constant, so we are always wiping down the counters. We spend a lot of time talking to people who drop in just to ask questions or see what is new. It is the kind of place where you hear the sounds of the neighborhood all day long, from the vegetable sellers to the honking bikes. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It is just a desk, some chairs, and the stock we have on hand. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when three or four people come in at once, but we make it work. Lunch is usually brought from home and eaten in the back while watching the door. We have stayed at this E-1 location because people know where to find us. It’s a simple setup and we don't try to make it look like something it isn't. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint soon, but for now, we just keep working.
