Rajesh Kumar

My shop is at A 35 on Tis Hazari Main Road. It’s one of those spots that’s easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. I’ve been Rajesh Kumar here for a long time. The building is older, and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it keeps the rain out. I spend my days dealing with whatever comes across the counter. It isn't always exciting, but it keeps me busy. I remember when I first moved in, the street looked a lot different. Now there are more cars and the noise never really stops. Inside, I try to keep a bit of order. I have my shelves set up a certain way, even if it looks like a mess to anyone else. I know where every single item is hidden. I don’t use any fancy computer systems for the inventory; I mostly just keep it in my head or on a notepad. Sometimes I forget to eat lunch because I’m deep into a task. That’s okay, though. I like being productive. People from the neighborhood stop in just to say hello sometimes. I appreciate that. It makes the day go by faster. We don't have any big slogans or anything. We just open up, do what needs doing, and head home when the sun goes down. It's a decent way to live.
