Shri Devnarayan Khad Beej Bhandar

Shri Devnarayan Khad Beej Bhandar is tucked away in the Wazirpur Group Industrial Area at A-131/3. It’s a place where things are a bit dusty because of all the sacks of seeds and fertilizer we move around. The smell of the earth and the chemicals is always there in the air. We spend our mornings unloading trucks that come in from different places. The industrial area is usually crowded with tempos and rickshaws, so getting things inside A-131/3 takes some patience. There is a small desk in the corner where we keep the registers, but most of the time is spent on our feet helping people pick the right seeds for the season. We see a lot of folks who come in from the outskirts looking for specific khad for their crops. The walls are just plain brick, and we have a few old calendars hanging up. It isn't the kind of place you'd visit for a look around, it's just a working warehouse and shop. Sometimes we share a bit of lunch on the wooden bench outside when the sun isn't too hot. Dealing with agriculture stuff means we follow the seasons closely. When it rains, the business changes, and when it’s dry, it’s a different story. We just keep the bags stacked and wait for the next customer to pull up their trolley.
