Friends Colour & Chemicals

Our place, Friends Colour & Chemicals, is located on Galta Road, right outside the Surajpole Gate. It’s a bit of an old area with a lot of character. We deal with more than just wall paint; we have various chemicals and industrial colors too. The air in here usually smells a bit like thinner or fresh pigment, which I’ve grown to like over the years. We get a mix of people coming in. Some are just looking to paint a door, while others are small business owners needing supplies for their own shops. It’s a noisy spot with all the trucks and rickshaws going through the gate. The building we are in is quite old, so the walls have seen better days, but it serves its purpose. We don't have any flashy signs or big displays. We just keep our stock ready on the shelves. Sometimes we have to hunt around for a specific chemical someone asked for, but we usually find it eventually. It’s mostly family running the show here. We take turns sitting at the desk and helping whoever walks through the door. It’s not a complicated life. We focus on getting people what they need so they can get back to their work. If you’re passing through Surajpole, you can’t really miss us. We have been sitting in this same spot for years now, just doing our thing day by day and helping out the builders.
