Anjali Boutique

Finding us isn't too hard since we are right near Lajpat Nagar and that Jeet Automobiles place everyone knows. Being in Ashok Nagar gives us a good mix of neighbors who drop by just to say hello or check on their orders. The boutique is mostly just a bunch of racks and a big cutting table that takes up most of the room. We spend a lot of time bent over the sewing machines, trying to get the hemlines straight. It’s funny how people think running a boutique is all about fashion, but mostly it is just worrying about if we have enough matching thread left. The traffic near Lajpat Nagar can get pretty bad in the evenings, so we usually hear the horns honking while we finish up the last few stitches for the day. Sometimes the shop feels a bit cramped, especially when we have new stock coming in and nowhere to put it. We just pile things up and hope for the best. It’s a local business, so we know most of our customers by name and what they like. We don't have fancy displays or bright lights, just a couple of bulbs and the sunlight coming through the front door. It’s a bit dusty sometimes because of the road work nearby, but we keep the clothes covered. We just stay busy and try to keep the machines oiled so they don't break down mid-stitch. It is just everyday work for us here.
