Aqua Star

We’ve got our spot on Pipli Road, not too far from the Sahib Gurudwara. It’s a good location because so many people pass by on their way to pray or just traveling through. You can hear the traffic all day, especially the heavy trucks that rumble past. We started Aqua Star because we wanted something of our own to run. It’s a simple operation. We spend most of our time out in the main area where the water is handled. It gets humid in here, but we’re used to it. We don't have a big office with air conditioning. We just have a desk in the corner where we keep the receipts and the phone. Sometimes our kids come by after school and sit in the back. It’s that kind of place. We don't have a mission statement or anything like that. We just want to make sure the work is done right so we don't have any complaints. The floor is always a bit wet from the washing, so we have to be careful where we step. We wear heavy boots and just get on with it. When the sun starts to set behind the Gurudwara, we start winding things down for the evening. It’s a long day, but it’s honest work and it keeps us busy. We aren't trying to change the world, we're just trying to run a decent shop here on Pipli Road.
