Kashmir Chappals Pvt. Ltd.

Kashmir Chappals Pvt. Ltd. is easy to find if you are looking for the Pani Kitanki in Ballimaran. We are right in front of Nilkhand Sweet, which is a good thing because the smell of the food is always drifting over to us. The address is No. 5225. Like most places in this part of Delhi, it is a narrow building that goes back a long way. We have shoes and slippers stacked all the way to the ceiling in some parts. It is a bit of a maze. The floor is made of old stone and it is worn down in the places where people walk the most. We have a couple of old wooden benches for people to sit on. There is no air conditioning, just some ceiling fans that hum all day. The street outside is always full of people, animals, and carts. It is loud and can be quite chaotic, but that is just Ballimaran for you. We have been here so long that we don't even notice the noise anymore. We keep our records in big handwritten books and use a heavy iron key to lock the front gate at night. It is a simple life and a simple business. We just keep doing what we have always done, right here across from the sweets shop. Sometimes customers stay for tea, and we just talk about how the market is changing.
