Star Agencies

Our place, Star Agencies, is tucked away in Gandotra Kutir on Huzrat Road. We are right there in Lashkar, not too far from the Sahakari Bazar and pretty much opposite the Central Kotwali. It is a busy intersection, so there is always a police presence and plenty of people moving about. The building is an old one, Gandotra Kutir has its own character, even if the walls could use a fresh coat of paint. We have been here in Gwalior for quite some time now. Most of our day is spent answering the phone or talking to people who walk in off the street. It’s not a corporate office with carpets and air conditioning everywhere. It is just a practical workspace where we get things done. Sometimes the tea boy from around the corner brings us snacks, and we take a break when things slow down. We don't really have a grand plan; we just take the orders as they come and try to keep our customers happy so they come back. It’s a lot of hard work, especially when the weather is bad or the power goes out, which happens more than we'd like. But we have a good spot here, and we know our neighbors well. It feels like we are part of the furniture in this neighborhood by now. We just keep plugging away day after day. We are usually here from morning till late, just keeping things moving.
