Walk into Khanna Market and you’ll find us at number 59. It’s right there in Lodhi Colony where everyone goes for their shopping. The shop isn’t huge, but we’ve managed to fit all the frames and the testing equipment inside. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped when three or four people come in at once, especially if they’ve brought their kids along. We spend a lot of time wiping down the glass cases because fingerprints get everywhere. Most of the morning is spent checking orders that came in or adjusting frames that someone sat on by accident. It’s a lot of small, careful work with those tiny screwdrivers that always seem to go missing when you need them. The light in the market gets nice in the afternoon, even if the noise from the street is constant. We’ve known some of the neighbors here for years, like the guy who sells tea just a few doors down. He usually brings a couple of cups around eleven. It’s just us here, doing the eye tests and making sure the lenses are cut right. We don’t have any big corporate slogans, just a lot of cases and a chair that squeaks a bit when you sit down for an exam. It’s a steady kind of life here in the market, seeing familiar faces walk past the window while we work on someone’s new set of glasses.
