Bindal Battry House

You can find Bindal Battry House right on the Main Wazirabad Road at A-1/6 in Bhajanpura. Being on the main road means we see a lot of traffic passing by all day. It’s a convenient spot for people to pull over when they’re having trouble with their vehicles or need a backup for their homes. Batteries are heavy things, so we spend a lot of time hauling them in and out. The shop smells a bit like lead and plastic, which is normal for this kind of work. We’ve been here long enough that the locals know our faces. We don’t spend money on fancy signs or decor. The walls are mostly covered with stock. It gets pretty hot in the summer, but we keep the fans going and just get on with it. People come in when they’re in a bit of a fix, usually because something stopped working. We try to give them a straight answer about what they need and what it will cost. There’s no point in making things complicated. Most of our day is spent testing units and making sure things are charged up. It’s a steady kind of life. We’ve seen Bhajanpura grow and get more crowded over the years. Even with more shops opening up, we just keep doing what we know how to do. Sometimes it is tiring, but we stay until the job is done for the day.
