Meet Tariq, who's made up. He trades spare parts in Lahore, and everything is on credit. His khata goes back years, and it's in two people's handwriting.
- 9:00A customer says he paid last month. Tariq can't find it. They argue, politely.
- 11:00A supplier wants paying. Is there enough to pay him? He doesn't really know.
- 2:00Someone owes him from four months ago. He only remembers because he saw him at a wedding.
- 5:00The bank statement and the khata don't match. He'll look at it later.
- MarchA bag of receipts goes to the accountant. A figure comes back. He can't explain it.
