Kanubhai Chhetalal Prajapati

I am Kanubhai Chhetalal Prajapati. My business is located in the Mohammadi Old Timber Market. It’s over by Mumbai Central HO, right on Jetalpur Road. If you are looking for us, we are quite near the Royal Cinema, which is a big landmark in this part of town. The timber market is a busy place, full of wood, sawdust, and a lot of trucks moving in and out all day long. I’ve spent most of my life here among the stacks of timber. We deal with different kinds of wood, nothing too fancy, just what people need for building or making furniture. It’s hard work and your clothes always end up covered in dust by the end of the shift. The office is just a small corner where we keep the ledgers and a couple of stools. It’s not the quietest place to work because of the saws and the loaders, but we like the energy. We have regular customers who have been buying from us since my father's time. We don't do much advertising; people just know where to find the Prajapati shop in the market. Sometimes the monsoon makes things difficult with the wood, but we manage. If you need a specific size, you might have to wait a bit while we find it in the back of the yard. It's a simple life surrounded by the smell of fresh cut logs and the noise of the market.
