Heeposh Departmental Store

It’s been quite a few years since we first opened up Heeposh Departmental Store right here at Chinar Chowk in Rawal Pora. When you spend your whole day in one spot, you really get to know the rhythm of the neighborhood. The morning starts early when the first bread deliveries arrive. Rawal Pora has its own pace, and being at Chinar Chowk means we see a bit of everything passing by. The store isn't massive, just enough room for the essentials that people need. We keep the shelves stocked with whatever is in demand, moving boxes around and trying to stay organized in the back room. It gets a bit dusty sometimes, but that’s just how it is. We have a small counter where we sit, usually with a cup of tea when things are quiet. Neighbors stop in not just for milk or tea leaves but to say hello or talk about the weather. It isn't a flashy place with bright lights or fancy displays. It’s just a regular shop where we know which floorboard creaks and which lightbulb flickers when the power fluctuates. We try to keep things simple. Dealing with suppliers and checking inventory takes up most of the afternoon. By the time the sun goes down over Chinar Chowk, we are usually just finishing up with the last few people heading home from work. It’s a job like any other, but being part of the Rawal Pora community makes it feel right. It’s our home.
