Sarhadi Electric & Machinery Store

Down here at 73 G B Road, the main road is basically a non-stop stream of noise. You can hear the big trucks and the rickshaws from the moment we open up. Sarhadi Electric has been in this particular spot for quite a few years now. We mostly deal with the heavy machines and electrical components that people need for their shops or small factories. It is a lot of metal and tangled wires everywhere you look. Sometimes the ceiling fans don't really do much against the heat in July, but we just deal with it. I spend a big part of my day checking the stock levels. It is quite easy to lose track of the smaller parts if you aren't careful. Customers often come in holding an old, greasy piece of machinery and they ask if we have a match for it. Usually, we can find something that works for them. We aren't trying to be any kind of special showroom, just a place to get your gear. The concrete floor is showing its age and my desk is buried under old receipts. Sometimes we just have a quick chat with the guy in the next shop over some tea. It is a tight community on G B Road. We see the same faces every single week. It’s just about being here when someone needs a motor fixed or some wiring.
