Shiv Glass & Paints Mart (Oth Co Shiv Glass Trader

Our place is over in Krantinagar near the Jai Krishna Society on the road that connects Maninagar and Isanpur. It’s a busy stretch and we have a lot of people stopping by because they’re painting their houses or they broke a window. We have stacks of glass leaning against the walls and hundreds of paint cans everywhere. The smell of thinner and fresh paint is something you just get used to after a while. Sometimes people come in with a tiny scrap of paper and want us to match a color exactly which takes a bit of patience and some mixing. We also cut glass to whatever size someone needs for a frame or a cabinet. It’s messy work and our clothes usually have a few spots of paint on them by the end of the shift. The shop is officially under the Shiv Glass name but folks around here just know us as the local glass and paint guys. We spend a lot of time moving heavy sheets around very carefully because one slip means a lot of wasted material. The floor is usually covered in a bit of sawdust or dried paint drips. We don’t try to make the shop look like a showroom because it is a workspace first and foremost. People come in with their problems and we try to give them the right bucket of paint or the right piece of glass to fix it. We usually keep some old newspapers around to wrap things up.
