Shital Hardware Electric Stores

We've been running Shital Hardware Electric Stores at Shop No 10 on C S Road for a long time. It’s in Sava Naga, Dahisar, quite close to the Goandevi Mandir. The shop is packed from floor to ceiling with all sorts of things like PVC pipes, light bulbs, and those tiny screws that everyone always loses. It’s a bit of a maze inside, and if you aren't careful, you might knock something over. Most of our day is spent helping neighbors find the right fuse or a specific wrench for their bathroom sink. It’s a lot of climbing up ladders to reach the top shelves. The dust is everywhere, no matter how much we sweep. People from the temple often stop by on their way home to pick up a battery or a new switch. We don't have a computer system to track everything; we just know where the stuff is because we put it there ourselves. It’s a simple way of living, talking to the same people every week and hearing about their home repairs. Sometimes the rain leaks a bit near the front door, so we have to move the electrical boxes further back. It isn't a fancy showroom with bright lights, just a regular hardware store where the fan makes a clicking sound all day. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for someone who needs a hammer or a piece of wire to walk in.
