Krishna Hardware

Krishna Hardware is right at Ambedkar Chowk. It’s a central spot, so we see a lot of people passing through every day. The shop is filled from floor to ceiling with all sorts of hardware supplies. We’ve got bins of nails, stacks of tools, and rows of paint cans. It can be a bit overwhelming if you’re looking for one specific tiny screw, but we usually know exactly which drawer it’s in. The shop floor is a bit dusty from all the cement bags we move around. We don't have a lot of space for walking, as we try to cram as much inventory as possible into the store. Usually, there’s a radio playing in the background or just the sound of traffic from the chowk outside. We’ve been here for quite a while now, serving the local builders and homeowners who need to fix things. It’s a family-run kind of place. We don't have uniforms or a formal way of speaking. We just help you find what you need and tell you how much it costs. Sometimes we give advice on how to use a tool if someone looks a bit confused. It’s a practical job and we like the rhythm of it. On rainy days, it’s a bit quieter, but usually, there’s a steady stream of people coming in for odd bits and pieces. We just try to keep the shelves stocked and the prices fair.
