Lofa is a small shop, number 2407, right in the middle of Tota Ram Bazar in Tri Nagar. If you know the bazar, you know how packed it gets. Every morning is a struggle just to get the shutters up because of the people already walking by. It’s a tight space, but we’ve managed to fit everything we need on the shelves. Most of the day is spent talking to people or rearranging the displays because customers move things around. Tri Nagar is always loud and there’s always something going on. We don't have much of a back room, so we store extra stock wherever it fits, sometimes even under the main counter. The lighting is a bit dim in the back, but we know our way around. It gets hot in the afternoons, and the small fan we have doesn't do much, but we’ve gotten used to it. We don't have a big corporate team, just a couple of us who take turns being at the shop. We know the other shopkeepers around here, and we often help each other out. It’s a community, really. We don't do anything fancy with the shop, just keep it open and keep the items ready. It’s a lot of standing and waiting, but that’s just how it is in the bazar.
