A K Brothers

If you walk down Arya Samaj Road, you’ll find us right near Gol Pyau Chouraha. It’s a busy spot, especially in the evenings when everyone is out and about. We started A K Brothers because we wanted to work for ourselves and stay close to home. The shop isn't very big, and honestly, we probably have too much stock piled up in the back corners. It gets a bit cramped when more than two people are inside at once. My brother handles the paperwork mostly, while I deal with the people coming in and out. We don’t have a fancy system or anything, just a big ledger and some pens that always seem to run out of ink right when you need them. The lights flicker sometimes if the weather is bad, but we just keep going. It’s a lot of long hours, sitting on those old wooden chairs that aren't great for your back. We see a lot of the same faces every week, which is nice. Sometimes someone brings over some snacks or we just talk about the cricket scores while we work. We don't try to be anything we're not. It’s just a place on the corner where we do our business and try to keep things moving. The traffic outside can be a nightmare during rush hour, so we usually stay late to let it clear up before heading home. It's just us doing our thing here.
