Batra Utensils Store

We are located at No. 11/4764 in Deputy Ganj, right in the middle of Sadar Bazar where things are always moving. If you’ve ever been to this part of Delhi, you know how it gets with the rickshaws and people everywhere. Our shop, Batra Utensils Store, is pretty much filled from floor to ceiling with all kinds of kitchen stuff. We have stacks of steel plates, brass items, and heavy pots that we move around all day long. It gets quite dusty here because of the narrow streets and the constant traffic outside, so we spend a good amount of time just wiping things down before customers walk in. Usually, someone is sitting on a small stool near the entrance, and there’s always a glass of tea sitting somewhere on a counter. We don't have fancy displays or bright lights. It’s just shelves and shelves of metalware. Most of the time, we are just helping people find a specific size of a pressure cooker or a simple spoon that matches what they already have at home. The fans hum all day, but they don’t do much when it’s really hot in July. We’ve been in this spot for a long time now, so we know most of the other shopkeepers around us. It’s a busy life, and there isn't much quiet time until we pull the shutters down late in the evening. We just keep things simple and try to keep track of where everything is stored in the back.
