Diwan Yakub

My name is Diwan Yakub and I work out of a small place in Wadi. It is located right at the 4th Cross on 26th Main. It is a bit out of the way for some, but I like the quietness of this particular corner. I’ve lived and worked in this area for many years, so I’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. The building I am in is nothing special to look at, just a sturdy old place that keeps the rain out. Inside, I have my workspace set up exactly how I like it. It might look a bit messy to someone else, but I know where everything is. I don't have any assistants or a big staff to help me out. I do most of the things myself, from answering the phone to keeping the books. It’s a lot of work sometimes, but I prefer it that way. 26th Main gets a fair amount of foot traffic, but people usually keep to themselves. I enjoy the routine of coming in every morning and getting started on whatever projects are waiting for me. I don't use any fancy talk or try to impress anyone. I just offer what I can and try to be fair with everyone who stops by. It’s a simple life at Wadi. I plan to stay here at the 4th Cross for as long as I am able to work. Usually, I close up around six and walk home through the neighborhood.
