Ridhi Sidhi

Our shop is at 117/223 in the Agarwal Farm area of Mansarovar. Jaipur is a huge city, but our little corner here feels much more like a small community. We keep a variety of items in stock, mostly things for the house and even some clothes. It is a bit of a mix of everything. We do not have a large group of people working here, it is just us family members taking turns behind the counter. The shop gets a lot of light during the day because of the windows. We try to keep things in order, but when new shipments come in, it usually takes us a few days to get everything put away. Many of our customers just come in to browse or to have a quick chat. We have lived in Mansarovar for a long time, so we recognize almost everyone who walks past our door. It is not like the big shopping malls where you are just a stranger. Here, we talk about the rain or what is happening in the neighborhood. The shop is very simple with basic wooden shelves and a plain front counter. Sometimes the bell on the door rings all day long, and other times it stays very quiet for a few hours. We use that slow time to clean the glass or check what we need to order next. It is a steady way to live. We have watched the local kids grow up over the years. We just keep the place open.
