Vinod Aluminium

If you walk through Chawri Bazar and find your way to Jyoti Hardware Market, you will see Vinod Aluminium at number 105. Chawri Bazar is a place where you really have to know your way around or you will get lost in the sea of hardware shops. Our shop is tucked into the market, and it is usually filled with aluminium bars and frames. It is a tight squeeze most days. We have been here at this address for a long time, and the building shows its age, but it works for us. The walls have some cracks and the floor is worn down from all the metal being dragged across it. We spend our time cutting pieces to size or helping people find the right gauge for their projects. It is a loud environment because everyone in the market is doing the same thing—clanking metal and shouting over the noise of the rickshaws. We do not have a website or anything like that; we just rely on people knowing where we are. Usually, we eat our lunch right there at the counter between customers. By the time we close up in the evening, we are pretty tired. The Chawri Bazar life is fast, and you have to keep up or you get left behind. We just try to keep our stock sorted so we do not spend too much time looking for things in the back.
