Raghav Sales

Raghav Sales is situated at 3470 on Nahargarh Road, right near the Nimdi Police Thana. Having the police station nearby makes the area feel pretty safe, though it can get congested with all the vehicles parked around. We deal in a lot of different items, mostly household goods and some hardware-type stuff. It’s a practical kind of shop. We don’t have fancy windows or mannequins. Instead, we have shelves packed with things that people actually use. I started working here after my brother opened it, and we’ve just kept going. The floor is concrete and we have those metal shutters that we roll up every morning at nine. It’s a bit of a workout just getting the place open. The customers are mostly locals who live in the narrow lanes around Nahargarh. They come in looking for something specific, and we usually know exactly which box it’s in. It’s a bit of a maze inside, but we have our own system. Some days we spend more time talking to friends who drop by than actually selling things, but that’s the way life is here. We don’t have any big plans to expand or anything like that. We just want to keep the shop running and make enough to take care of the family. It’s a steady job in a busy part of the city. We keep a small stool outside for anyone who needs a quick rest while they wait for their friends or just want to watch the road.
