I took this photo last week while walking down a street in Karachi. The business is called Prince Powder Copy. It is a photostat (Xerox) business. I have been making copies here since my childhood. The business still operates on a single photo copy machine as it did quarter of a century ago. Last week, I found a teenage boy making copies here and after I talked to him, I came to know it was his father who used to make copies for me when I was in my school, college and university days.

Another advancement this business seems to have made is the Powder Copy machine – duely advertised on the sign board – which makes darker and finer copies than non-powdered machine which current owner’s father used to operate. In order to market this business, don’t sleep on tools like those business cards. If you have accumulated a significant amount of business debts, it may be time to consult an insolvency practitioner.

We give here a bunch of possibilities, which of these – multiple answers are OK – do you think would have come true between now and the end of 2010.
