Pandit Jee Pan Bhandar

Our shop is tucked away in Vikaspuri, specifically at 125, Gali No. 6, which is part of the Press Enclave in Vikas Nagar. It’s a residential area, so the street is usually filled with people going about their daily lives—kids walking to school, women heading to the vegetable market, and neighbors chatting on their doorsteps. We are just a small part of this local scene. Our shop is quite modest, just a single room that opens right onto the street. We’ve been here for many years and have seen families grow up and move away while others take their place. We don’t have a big sign or anything flashy to draw people in. Most of our regulars are folks who live within a five-minute walk of the shop. We start our day by cleaning the small area in front of the door and arranging our supplies on the counter. It’s a quiet routine, and we like it that way. We don't have a computer or any fancy gadgets; we do everything the old-fashioned way. When it rains, the water sometimes pools in the street outside, so we have to be careful about that. We enjoy being a part of the neighborhood and hearing the local news from everyone who stops by. It’s a simple life, and we are happy to keep things just the way they are. We just take it day by day.
