B. D. S. Jain Hosiery

We are located at B-v 622 in Tilak Nagar, Ludhiana. Our spot is very close to the Baba Gajja Jain Dharamshala, which is a big landmark around here. Actually, we are near the Dharamshala Chowk on Hazuri Road. If you are in the hosiery business in Ludhiana, you probably know this area well because it’s full of places like ours. The building we are in is quite old and the stairs are a bit narrow, so moving heavy boxes of socks and sweaters can be a real workout for us. We have stuff stacked all the way to the ceiling in some rooms. It’s a bit of a mess sometimes, especially when we are busy during the winter season when everyone wants warm things. We don't have any fancy displays. People just come in and we show them what we have in the boxes. The air smells like wool and thread most of the time. We have a small corner with a desk where we keep the ledger and the phone. It’s usually ringing a lot with people asking about their deliveries. Outside, the traffic in the chowk is always a bit crazy with rickshaws and people everywhere. We are just used to the noise and the hustle of the market. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but we know where every single box is and what’s inside it. We just keep working and trying to stay ahead of the orders. (257 words)
