Ramesh Kumar

Operating out of Tis Hazari Main Road at number 123 means you see a lot of things every day. Ramesh Kumar is the name we go by here, and it’s a spot that stays crowded because of the courts being so close. There is always a hum of people talking, cars honking, and lawyers rushing around with their files. Our place is quite modest, just a regular door on the main road that leads into a space where we keep everything organized. It’s been our location for a long time, and we’ve seen the road get paved and repaved more times than I can count. The dust from the street comes in no matter how much we sweep, but that’s part of being in this area. We usually start quite early before the sun gets too high and the humidity kicks in. There isn't any fancy air conditioning, just a couple of ceiling fans that have been spinning since I can remember. People stop by for all sorts of things, and we try to help them out without making a big fuss. It is a very local way of doing things, relying on people knowing where we are rather than putting up big signs or advertisements. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s a bit quieter in the evenings. The tea man knows exactly how we like it, which is the kind of thing you only get when you stay in one place for years.
