Sushila Hardware

Sushila Hardware is tucked into a small spot at 62/1A on N. S. Road. It is one of those shops where you might think we don't have what you need, but if you look long enough, it is probably buried in a drawer somewhere. I have got drawers full of screws, hinges, and washers that I have had for many years. The smell of old metal and a bit of rust is just part of the air here. N. S. Road is a very hectic place. There is always someone honking their horn or a heavy cart being pushed past the front door. I have lived around this neighborhood for most of my life. The shop is small and the lighting isn't the best, so I keep a flashlight handy to find the right size of bolt. Customers come in with a broken piece of something and ask me if I have the exact match. Half the time I do, and the other half I have to tell them where else they might look. It involves a lot of talking and explaining. My hands stay dirty from the grease on the tools and hardware. I keep a rag in my back pocket to wipe them, but it is mostly black by noon. We don't have any fancy displays here. It is just shelves and bins. Sometimes a cat from the alley comes in and sleeps on the bags of cement.
