New Friends

We are situated on Sheetla Mata Road, right on the main road where everyone passes by. It’s a prime spot but that also means we deal with a lot of dust and noise from the heavy traffic outside. Our shop, New Friends, is a place where we try to keep a variety of items that the local people and travelers might need. Since we are on the way to the temple area, we see a lot of different faces every day. Some people are just looking for a cold drink while others are searching for something specific they can't find elsewhere. The store isn't very large, so we have to be clever about how we stack the boxes and display the goods. Often, the front of the shop is a bit cluttered because we just got a fresh delivery and haven't had time to move it all to the back. It’s just the reality of running a small business on a busy main road. We don't use any fancy systems; we just know where everything is kept. Most of the time is spent chatting with customers or cleaning the glass counters because of the road grime. It’s a simple life and we appreciate the regulars who stop by just to say hello even if they aren't buying anything that day. We just try to stay stocked up and keep the place running as best as we can. Every day brings someone new through the door.
