Setting up Iqra near Poorna Market was a bit of a gamble at first. This part of town is always crowded and noisy, but that’s where the people are. We’ve been here for a bit now, just doing our thing day in and day out. It’s a small place, nothing too special to look at from the outside, but we keep it organized. People coming from the market often stop by just to see what we have. We don't spend money on big signs or fancy lights. Most of our days are spent just talking to customers and making sure everything is in its place. It gets dusty with all the traffic outside, so cleaning is a constant job. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop around, just a reliable one where you know who you’re talking to. My brother helps out on the weekends when it gets really busy. Sometimes we run out of stock faster than expected, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s just how it goes when you’re small. We like being near the market because it feels like the heart of the area. You see everyone eventually. We just keep our heads down and work hard. It’s a simple life running a business like this. I guess we will stay here as long as the neighbors keep coming by.
