Sherrys Gallery

If you’re walking along Basti Jodhewal Main Road, you’ll find Sherrys Gallery. It’s not a huge place, just a regular shop where we display different things we have in stock. The main road is always busy with trucks and buses, so there’s a lot of vibration and noise all day. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place looking presentable, which isn't easy with all the dust from the road. Most of our days are spent talking to people who wander in after seeing something in the window. We don't have any fancy sales pitches or anything like that. We just show them what we have and let them decide. It’s mostly a one-person job, so if I have to go out for lunch, I just pull the shutter down for a bit. Basti Jodhewal is a tough area for parking, so most of our customers are people who live nearby and walk over. The lighting inside is a bit dim, but it’s a change from the chaotic street outside. We don't have a big marketing budget or a social media team. It’s just a local shop where we try to provide a few choices for the people in our community. Sometimes we get new items in and have to move everything around to fit them. It's constant work but we like staying in this part of town. We’ve been here for a while and the other shopkeepers are all alright to us.
