Light On Light

We are set up at Plot No 63/2, C-3 in Ghasiyari Mandi. It’s right on Canal Road, not far from the Globus Mall, so it’s easy to find if you’re in that part of the city. Light On Light is basically just a shop full of bulbs, wires, and fixtures. We spend a lot of our time testing things to see why they won't turn on. The back room is a bit of a disaster area with tangled cords and boxes that haven't been unpacked yet. We’ve been here for a while, and the locals know us for being the place where you can actually find a specific part. It’s not a shiny showroom. It’s more of a place where we sit behind the counter and talk to people about what they need for their homes. Sometimes it gets a bit dark in the corners despite all the lights we have. We keep a ledger on the desk to track what goes out, but sometimes we forget to write things down immediately. The traffic on Canal Road can get pretty loud in the afternoons, especially with the buses passing by. When the sun goes down, our windows look pretty bright compared to the other shops nearby. We just try to keep enough stock on the shelves so people don't have to wait around for weeks. It’s a simple business. We open the shutters in the morning and stay until the street finally gets quiet at night. There is always a stray cat that hangs around the front door waiting for some scraps.
