Uppal Creations

You can find us at Plot No.2869 in Gali No. 4. We are in the Chuna Mandi area of Paharganj. If you’ve ever been to Paharganj, you know how busy and cramped it can get. Our lane is one of those narrow ones where you have to move to let a scooter pass by. It’s a very old part of Delhi. The building we are in has seen better days, but it has a lot of character. We work in a small room filled with fabrics and tools. There is always a smell of glue or ink in the air. We don’t have much space for visitors, so we usually talk to people right at the door. Most of our neighbors are also making things, so you hear the sound of machines all day long. It’s a community of workers. We’ve been here for a long time, and we’ve seen the streets change quite a bit. Even though it’s crowded, we like it here. Everything we need is within walking distance. We eat our lunch from the local dhabas nearby. Sometimes the monkeys come onto the roof and make a lot of noise. We just ignore them and keep working. It’s not a fancy life, but it’s our life. We do our best to finish whatever task is in front of us. It’s just how things are done in Chuna Mandi. We don't need much more than our tools.
