Swastik Kitchen

Swastik Kitchen is located at 105 on the Mansarovar Main Road. We’ve been at this location for a while, selling the kind of things people need for their homes. We have stoves, chimneys, and all sorts of kitchen stuff lined up against the walls. It’s not a showroom with fancy lights or music. This is just a regular shop where you can come in and touch the products to see if they’re sturdy. The road outside is always loud with bikes and buses passing by all day. Most of our customers are from the apartments nearby. They come in looking for something that won't break after a month of heavy use. We try to keep the place organized, but when new stock arrives, there are boxes everywhere for a day or two. It gets hard to move around then. My nephew helps me out on the weekends when it gets busy. We don't have a website or anything like that. We just talk to people who walk through the door. If someone has a problem with a burner they bought, they bring it back and we take a look at it right then. It’s a very direct way of doing things. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot, but we’re still here in the same spot, just selling kitchen gear to the locals.
