Deepak Optical Industries

Our shop is tucked away in Chandpole Bazar, right on Kalyan Ji Ka Rasta. It’s a narrow street, so it gets pretty crowded with people and scooters passing by all day. We spend a lot of time cleaning lenses and fixing frames that people bring in. The lighting inside isn't the brightest, but we make it work. Living and working in this part of the city means dealing with a lot of noise. You get used to it after a while. Most of the time, I’m sitting behind the counter waiting for someone to drop off a prescription. The shelves are filled with cases and glass pieces that we've had for a while. It’s a family-run kind of setup. Sometimes my cousin helps out when it gets busy. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the address 3470 on the door. People usually know where to find us because we’ve been here for years. It smells a bit like lens cleaner and old paper in here. The floor is slightly uneven, and the fan makes a clicking sound, but it keeps the air moving. Every morning starts with sweeping the front step because the dust from the market settles overnight. We just handle things one customer at a time. It’s simple work, nothing fancy. We don't do much advertising, just word of mouth from folks around the neighborhood. Sometimes we run out of certain frames, and people have to wait, but that is just the way it goes.
