R. A. Matcheswala

You can find R. A. Matcheswala at 2824, right across from the New Fruit Market in Kot Ni Rang. Being near the fruit market means our mornings start very early. We see the trucks bringing in the fresh produce while we are opening up our doors. The smell of the fruit is always in the air, mixed with the general smell of the city. Our shop is in an old building that has seen a lot of years. The address 2824 has been our home for a while. It’s a busy corner of the world. People are always rushing past on their way to the market. Inside, the shop is plain and simple. We have our wooden counters and shelves that have been there since the beginning. We don’t bother with fancy displays or bright lights. Most of our customers are people who have been coming to this area for decades. We know many of them by name. The atmosphere in Kot Ni Rang is very traditional. We use old-fashioned methods for our paperwork and keep our records in thick books. There is no background music or corporate branding here. Just the sound of the street and the voices of the people outside. We take pride in just being a part of this neighborhood. When the market slows down in the afternoon, we take a break and sit near the entrance. It’s a good place to watch the world go by.
