You can find us at number 9 on the Mandawali Fazalpur Main Road. It’s a busy spot with cars and bikes constantly going past the door. The shop is usually a bit dusty because of all the work we do. We have paints, boards, and various tools scattered around. It’s not a showroom where everything is perfectly placed. We like it this way because it shows we actually work here. There is always the sound of someone cutting something or the smell of fresh ink. People stop by while they are out doing their shopping on the main road. Sometimes they just peek in to see what we are making. We spend a lot of time standing up or leaning over tables. Our hands are usually stained with something by the end of the afternoon. The light inside is okay, but we often move closer to the front door to see better. There are old sketches pinned to the walls and stacks of materials in the corners. It’s a small space, so we have to be careful where we step. We have been in Mandawali for a good while now. The regulars know us and just shout a greeting as they pass. We don't have fancy uniforms or a front desk. It is just a workshop where things get made day after day. It gets a bit loud when the traffic builds up, but that is just part of being on the main road.
