Rana Ghulam Mohd

We are right here at Tis Hazari Main Road 10. If you know this area, you know how crowded it gets with the court nearby and all the traffic. Rana Ghulam Mohd is what we call the business, but to most people around here, we are just the folks at number 10. The shop is tucked between a couple of other small businesses. It’s a narrow space, so we have to be careful how we arrange things. I usually start the day by sweeping the front step because the dust from the main road never stops. There is a small desk in the back where I keep the ledger. It’s an old book with pages that are starting to turn yellow at the edges. We don't use much technology here, just a simple phone and a calculator. Most of our day is spent talking to people who drop in. Some are regulars who have been coming for years, while others are just passing through. The noise from the street is constant, but you stop hearing it after a while. We don't have any big signs or bright lights to get attention. We just keep the door open and wait for work. It’s a modest way to spend the day. We aren't trying to expand or become famous. We just want to do our job and go home to our families in the evening. It’s a simple life at Tis Hazari.
