Bharat Hardware & Paint

Our shop, Bharat Hardware & Paint, is right on the Ring Road, not too far from the Khurram Nagar Chauraha. If you know the area, you know it gets really crowded with traffic during the rush hours. We spend a lot of time just looking out the front door at the cars while we wait for the next person to come in. The shelves are packed with all kinds of stuff, from cans of paint to boxes of nails and hammers. It is a bit of a mess sometimes because we keep getting new stock and there is never enough room to put it all away perfectly. We have paint stains on our clothes most of the time. People come in asking for a very specific shade of blue or a certain type of bolt, and we go digging through the back to find it. Sometimes we find it right away, and other times it takes a bit of a search. It is just me and a couple of guys helping out. We do not do anything fancy with marketing or ads. We just open up early and stay until the sun goes down. The floor needs a good sweep every few hours because of the dust from the road. It is a simple life running a hardware store. We know a lot of the local contractors who stop by every morning for their supplies. It is just how things go here at our spot near the chauraha.
