Sushil Electricals

Open the shutter early and get the day started. Sushil Electricals is located at Bhandup West 310, right where the street gets busy. The shelves are mostly full of wires, those little plastic boxes for switches, and stacks of lightbulbs. Sometimes the dust gets on everything and we have to wipe it down before someone comes in. It’s a small place. You can hear the traffic outside all day long. Most people around here know where we are. We keep things simple. There’s a stool in the corner where I sit when it’s quiet. Usually, someone pops in for a bulb or a fuse because their lights went out at home. The fan on the ceiling wobbles a bit but it keeps the air moving. We’ve got different types of wire reels stacked up near the back. Sometimes the delivery guys bring in new stock and we have to find a spot for it. It gets crowded quickly. Bhandup West has changed a lot over the years but this spot stays pretty much the same. We don’t have fancy lights or a big sign, just the name above the door. Most days are just about finding what someone needs in the back and making sure the change is right. It’s not a complicated life here. We just stay open until the sun goes down and then lock up the heavy metal gate for the night.
