Rajesh Kumar

I’m at 15 Tis Hazari Main Road. My name is Rajesh Kumar. This shop is one of the smaller ones on the block, but I make it work. I’ve got everything I need tucked into these four walls. I think I’ve lived in this city my whole life, and I’ve been working in this trade for most of that time. My father taught me the basics, and I picked up the rest as I went along. You learn a lot just by watching and doing. I don't have any fancy degrees or certificates on the wall. My experience is what I offer. When people come in, I look them in the eye and we talk about what they need. There are no sales pitches here. I tell them what I can do and what I can't. Honesty is the only way I know how to run things. Sometimes I have to tell people a job will take longer than they want, but I’d rather be truthful than let them down. The street outside is always buzzing with people heading to the courts or the market. I like to sit on a stool by the door during my break and just watch the world go by. It’s a busy life, but it’s a good one. At the end of the day, I lock up and head home satisfied.
