Pyaarchand & Sons

Pyaarchand & Sons is tucked away at number 11 near the Suraj Pul area. Sarang Marg is one of those old streets where everyone seems to know everyone else. Being near Surajpole gives the place a very traditional feel. We’ve been here for a long time, and the building shows its age a bit. There are cracks in the plaster and the floor is worn down from years of walking. But it’s our home. We don't see the point in making it look like a modern mall store. People come to us because they know we are reliable and we stay put. The noise from the traffic near the bridge is constant, but you stop hearing it after a few years. We sit on old wooden chairs and drink tea while we work. It’s a family-run thing, so there’s always someone related to someone else around the shop. We handle our business the old-fashioned way. No big computers or complicated systems here. Just honest work and a lot of talking. The neighbors often drop by just to chat about the weather or the local news. It’s a slow-paced kind of life compared to the newer parts of the city. We like the history of this area. Surajpole has changed a lot, but our little corner on Sarang Marg stays pretty much the same. We just keep doing what our fathers did before us.
