La Beautie

La Beautie is situated on the first floor of Yaseen Towers in Noorkhan Bazar. It’s at shop number 104. Being on the first floor gives us a bit of a different view of the street, and it’s a little quieter than being on the ground level. Noorkhan Bazar is an old, busy part of Hyderabad, and it has its own unique feel. We’ve been here for a while now, and we’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the neighborhood. The shop is a place where people can come to take a break from their daily chores. It’s not a fancy place with expensive decorations, but it’s clean and comfortable enough for the work we do. We see a lot of people from the nearby houses. It’s mostly word-of-mouth that brings new people in. Someone tells their cousin or their neighbor, and then they show up a week later. We don't have a big mission statement or anything. We just open up, make sure the water is ready and the tools are clean, and wait for the first customer. Sometimes it’s slow, and we just sit and talk among ourselves, and other times it’s so busy we don’t have time to eat lunch. That’s just the nature of running a small business like this. We like being in Yaseen Towers. It’s a familiar spot for everyone in the Bazar, and we’re happy to be here doing what we do every day. It’s a simple life.
