Eggi Docs

Our little office, Eggi Docs, is located at Baghat Chowk in Srinagar, right near the Mashid. It’s a good spot to be in because people are always passing by on their way to the mosque or the market. We mostly handle documentation work, like scanning papers, printing things out, and helping people fill out their forms correctly. It’s a small shop, just enough room for a couple of desks and the machines we use. The smell of paper and printer ink is something you get used to pretty quickly after working here for a week. We started this because we noticed people always needed help with their paperwork and didn't really know where to go to get it done. It’s not very glamorous work, but it keeps us busy and we like meeting the people who come in. We have a few regulars who come in every single week for their business needs. Sometimes we have to deal with the machines jamming up, which is always a bit of a headache, but we manage to fix it. We keep a small stool for people to sit on while they wait for their copies. The traffic at Baghat Chowk can be quite loud, but we usually have a small radio playing in the background. It’s just a practical service for the neighborhood.
