Asterisk

You can find us at 3, Huseini Lakda Bazar. It's right on Belasis Road, which is always crowded and noisy at all hours. We have a small space here that is packed with stuff from floor to ceiling. Most days, there is a lot of traffic outside, so you hear the horns and shouting all day long. We have been here at 242-244 for a long time. It’s an old building, but it does the job for us. The stairs are narrow and you have to watch your step when you come up. We mostly handle things for the local market. It’s a family-run kind of vibe. We don't use much fancy technology in the shop. Just a phone and a paper ledger for the most part. Sometimes it gets dusty because of all the wood and movement in the bazar area. We open early in the morning. Usually, we are moving things around to make space for more items. It’s a lot of physical work and lifting. We know most of the other shop owners on this stretch of the road. We talk to them while waiting for customers to stop by. It’s a simple life for us. No big meetings or corporate talk happens here. Just selling what people need and making sure the inventory is okay. Sometimes we close early on Saturdays if it's quiet. If you come by, you'll probably see us sorting through piles of stuff or talking to a delivery guy.
