Kanhiya Lal Madan Lal

Kanhiya Lal Madan Lal has been here at Plot No-3643 on the Main Road in Chawri Bazar for quite a long time now. If you know this part of the city, you know how busy it gets with all the people and carts moving around. It’s always noisy outside our doors but that is just how Chawri Bazar is. My father and uncle started things here and now we just keep it going every day. We don’t have any fancy office or anything like that. It is just a regular shop where we handle our work and talk to the people who come in. Sometimes the traffic on the Main Road makes it hard for deliveries to get through, so we have to stay late to get things sorted. We know most of the other shopkeepers around here. It feels more like a community than just a place of business. We deal with all sorts of items throughout the day and the space inside 3643 is pretty packed with stock. There is always someone coming in to ask about prices or just to say hello. We don’t spend much time on things like marketing or looking professional because the work itself takes up all our hours. You just get used to the rhythm of the market after a few years. It’s not an easy place to work because of the dust and the heat, but we like being right in the middle of everything. We just try to do our jobs and go home.
