Saini Khad Beej Bhandar

We’ve been sitting here in Chandni Chowk at Bhagirath Palace for quite some time now. Dealing with seeds and fertilizers isn't glamorous, but it is what people around Shree Balaji Estate need. Most days we are just busy loading bags or talking to farmers who come in from the outskirts. It gets crowded on Dr H C Sen Marg, so getting things in and out takes a lot of effort. We keep a stock of different things depending on the season. If someone needs a specific type of khad, they usually just drop by and ask if it's in. The shop at 2255 isn't the biggest place, but we make it work. It's dusty because of the goods, that is just how it is. Sometimes the traffic makes deliveries slow, but we try to keep the regulars happy. My father started this and now we just keep the doors open every morning. People know us by name mostly. There’s no fancy office here, just a counter and some shelves. We try to keep prices fair because we know how hard the farming business can be. You might have to wait a bit if we are in the middle of a shipment. That's just life in the market. We don't spend much time on the phone, it is better to just come down to the estate and see what we have in the bags today. I remember when the street wasn't so paved, and things were even more chaotic. It is better now.
