Mahavir Nandi

You can find Mahavir Nandi at Kashmere Gate 70. This is a very old and famous part of the city. If you’ve ever been to Kashmere Gate, you know it’s mostly about vehicle parts and machinery. That’s exactly what we do here. The shop is full of metal parts, boxes, and the smell of oil and rubber. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, but it’s a working shop. We spend most of our time looking up part numbers or showing customers what we have in stock. The streets outside are always jammed with trucks and rickshaws, so it’s never quiet. We have been at number 70 for quite a while now. The walls are a bit dusty and the shelves are heavy with iron goods. We don’t really do any big advertising. People just know we are here because we’ve been around. Sometimes a customer comes in looking for something for an old machine that nobody makes parts for anymore, and we try to see if we have something that fits. It’s a lot of standing around and talking to mechanics and drivers. We just focus on getting the right part to the right person. There’s no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that works hard all day. It’s honest work in a busy market, and that’s how we spend our time from morning till evening. It keeps us busy and the day goes by fast.
