Tariq starts his day at 5:45 AM. By the time most Lahoris are hitting snooze, he's loaded 18 bottles onto his bike and is reviewing his first route.
The morning load-out
Each rider collects their bottles from the nearest depot between 5:30 and 6:30 AM. Orders are pre-sorted by route the night before. Tariq does the DHA Phase 5–6 circuit — 22–28 deliveries in the morning alone.

What customers say about Tariq
He's been rated 5 stars by 94% of his customers over the past year. His most common review: 'always on time, always polite.' He's been with Aabdar since month three.
The hardest part
Summer afternoons. Lahore heat, heavy bottles, tight windows. Tariq keeps a small cooler with cold water for himself. 'You can't deliver hydration if you're dehydrated,' he says.
