Goyal Traders Paints

Our paint shop is located right on the main road in Nissing, directly across from the Civil Hospital. It’s a good location because everyone knows where the hospital is. We have stacks of cans piled up everywhere, from the floor to the ceiling. If you walk in, the first thing you’ll notice is the smell of fresh tint and metal. We’ve been selling paint to the locals in Karnal for a long time. It’s a messy business, and our clothes usually have a few spots of color on them by lunchtime. We don't have a fancy showroom. It’s more of a place where you come in, tell us what room you’re fixing up, and we help you find a shade that isn't too expensive. We carry all the brushes, rollers, and thinners too. Sometimes the mixing machine acts up, and we have to spend an hour fixing it, but that's part of the job. People from the nearby villages stop by on their tractors to pick up supplies for their houses. We know most of our customers by name. It’s a steady life, just moving boxes and helping people pick out colors for their front doors. We don't have a big staff, just me and a cousin who helps with the heavy lifting. The floor is concrete and has a hundred different splashes of color on it from over the years. We close up around dinner time and head home.
