Asif Pasha

I’ve lived around the Rasoolpura area for a long time, and running this place at H. No 1-387-683 is just what I do every single day. Secunderabad has changed a lot since I first started out here, but the way we handle things in this shop stays pretty much the same. People around the neighborhood usually know where to find me if they need something done or just want to ask a question. It is not a big fancy office with glass walls or anything like that, just a simple spot where the work gets finished. Some days are much busier than others, especially when the traffic on the main road gets backed up and everyone seems to be in a big rush. I usually open up the doors early in the morning and stay until the light starts to fade in the evening. My family helps out with the business sometimes too. We don’t really have a big speech about what we do here. If you come by for a visit, you’ll just see us working on whatever is sitting on the desk that morning. Rasoolpura is a tight-knit place, so most of the people who stop in are neighbors or friends of friends. I keep a few chairs for people to sit while we talk through what they need. It is a very basic setup, but it works for us and the people in this part of 500003. Sometimes the electricity goes out, but we just wait it out.
