Rajesh Hardware

Our shop is number 318 in Jawahar Nagar, right in Ward No. 18 near Jacobpura. It’s a regular hardware store packed with everything from nails to heavy tools. The shelves are pretty full, so sometimes it takes a minute to find the exact thing someone is looking for. We spend the whole day on our feet, helping people who are fixing up their houses or working on construction sites. Jacobpura is a lively area, and there is always something going on outside our door. We’ve been at this spot for quite some time now. The shop isn't modern or polished. It’s just a place where we keep stock and help customers. Sometimes the overhead light flickers and we have to give it a tap. We open up the shutters every morning at the same time and stay until the evening rush is over. My brother and I run the place mostly. We don't have any corporate training or fancy sales pitches. We just know where things are kept and what they cost. If a customer comes in with a broken part, we try to find a replacement that fits. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. The rain sometimes comes in under the door during the heavy storms, so we keep some old rugs handy. We are just a local hardware spot for the folks around Jawahar Nagar. Rajesh Hardware is basically just a room full of useful things and us.
