Shri Narain Dass Di Hatti

If you walk down toward Phagwara Gate in Jalandhar, you will find our shop near Milap Chowk. We have been in this spot for quite a long time, and the building shows its age a bit, but that is okay with us. The 144002 area is always crowded with shoppers and rickshaws, so there is never a quiet moment outside our door. Inside, we have our goods stacked on the shelves, and we try to keep everything organized, though it gets a bit messy when we are busy. We do not have any fancy air conditioning or bright neon lights, just the old-fashioned way of doing things. People come to us because they know we have been here since their fathers' time. Sometimes we sit on the wooden stools and talk to the neighbors while waiting for the next customer to walk in. The street noise is just background music to us now. It is a small space, so you have to mind your step when you come in. We do not really do any big advertising; people just know the name Narain Dass Di Hatti from living in Jalandhar. We open the shutters every morning at the same time and stay until the market starts to quiet down in the evening. It is a simple life running a shop in such a busy part of the city, and we wouldn't know what else to do with our time anyway.
