Hastkal Sarees

Our shop is tucked away at 35 J M Road, right where it crosses with Avenue Road. It’s a busy corner of the city. We have been selling sarees here for quite some time. The space isn't huge, but we pack it full. You might have to squeeze past a few boxes if we just got a delivery. Most of the time, we are just sitting here waiting for the next person to come through the door. It gets hot in the afternoons, so we keep the fan running high. We know a lot of the other shop owners around J M Road too. Hastkal Sarees isn't some big brand you'll see on a billboard. It’s just our little place. We spend a lot of time folding and unfolding fabric. It can be tiring on the back after a few hours. We try to keep the shelves looking okay, but things get moved around a lot during the day. Sometimes we have tea brought in from the stall down the street while we work. People come in looking for specific colors and we do what we can to find something that fits. It’s simple work, really. No fancy decorations here, just the racks and the counter. We’ve seen a lot of regulars come and go over the years. We just keep the doors open and see who comes by. It’s just the way we have always done things here.
