Mukesh Gift Centre

We are located in Janta Colony, over in Vaishali Nagar. Mukesh Gift Centre has been part of this neighborhood for quite some time now. It’s a residential area, so we see a lot of the same faces every week. We know which kids are having birthdays soon because their parents come in looking for something. The shop isn't very big, so we have to stack things pretty high on the shelves. You have to be careful when you're looking around so you don't knock anything over. We try to keep a bit of everything, like cards, small toys, and some household items that look nice as presents. Sometimes the fan in the corner makes a bit of a rattling noise, but we’re used to it. It gets quite busy in the evenings when people are coming home from work and stop in. We don’t have any big sales or promotions going on. We just stay open until the street gets quiet at night. It’s a lot of work keeping track of what people want, but we manage. My brother helps out on the weekends when it gets extra crowded. We don’t bother with fancy packaging or anything; we just wrap things in plain paper if people ask. It’s just a honest way to make a living in a nice part of town. We hope to stay here for many more years, just doing what we do every day without too much trouble.
