B. L. Goel & Sons

Down at 17, S.P. Mukherjee Road, you’ll find our place. B. L. Goel & Sons has been a fixture here for quite a bit. It started with the older generation and now the rest of us are still at it. The building has seen better days, maybe, but it’s sturdy and it serves its purpose. We deal with a lot of regular customers who have been coming to us for years. They know the way the door sticks a little when it rains. Inside, it’s mostly just shelves and ledgers and the sound of people talking. We don't go in for fancy decorations or anything like that. It’s a family business, so you might see one of the sons drinking tea or arguing about where a specific order went. That’s just the way we do things. S.P. Mukherjee Road is a busy stretch, and there is always noise from the traffic leaking in through the front. We spend our days mostly handling orders and making sure the inventory is where it should be. Sometimes things get a bit disorganized when we have a big shipment come in, but we eventually sort it out. We aren't trying to be the biggest or the flashiest on the block. We just want to make sure the work gets finished and people get what they need. It’s a simple life, really, just keeping the name going and showing up every morning to unlock the gate and start the day.
