Jagdeesh Narayan Ajay Kumar Sharma

Our spot is at 378 Chandpole Bazar, right in the middle of all the noise and the crowds. If you know this part of the city, you know how busy it gets with all the rickshaws and people moving about. We have been operating under the name Jagdeesh Narayan Ajay Kumar Sharma for a long time, and it is a bit of a mouthful, but it is just who we are. The shop is old, with thick walls that keep it a little cooler than the street outside, though the humidity still finds its way in during the rains. We don't have any fancy decorations on the walls. Mostly, it is just shelves and the things we need to get through the workday. Every morning, we roll up the shutter and sweep the front. It is a routine that hasn't changed in years. You can hear the bells from the temple nearby and the constant honking of the bikes. It is loud, but you get used to it after a week or two. Sometimes we sit on the wooden stools out front when things are slow and just watch the tourists and locals haggle nearby. We aren't trying to be anything we are not. We just run this place at 378 and try to keep things organized for everyone. The market is our home, and we know every crack in the pavement around here. It is a lot of hard work, but we like being right here in the thick of it all. It’s a good spot.
