Hemlata Enterprises

You can find Hemlata Enterprises at 726 Heera Nagar, which sits right off Khair Road here in Aligarh. It’s a pretty busy road, so there’s always noise from the trucks and rickshaws passing by. We’ve been operating from this building for a few years now. The space inside is a bit cramped because we keep a lot of stuff on hand, but we know where everything is. Most of the people working here grew up in this part of Uttar Pradesh. We talk a lot while we work, mostly about the weather or what’s happening in the news. It’s a casual atmosphere. We don't wear uniforms or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably see a couple of us moving boxes or checking ledgers. It's not a glamorous job, but it pays the bills and keeps us busy. Khair Road is always changing, with new shops opening up every other month. We’ve managed to stay put, though. The building has its quirks, like the door that sticks when it rains, but it feels like home to us now. We don't spend much time worrying about what other businesses are doing. We just focus on our own list of things to do for the day. It’s a simple way to live and work. We appreciate the neighbors who stop by just to say hello. It keeps the day interesting. We just take things as they come.
