Ashwani Kumar

You can find me, Ashwani Kumar, over in Sultanpuri, specifically on Mundka Gaon Firni Road at P 1 44. It’s a bit of a trek if you aren’t from around this part of town. The road outside is usually dusty and there’s always some construction or something going on nearby. My workspace is pretty modest. I’ve got my tools and my materials set up in a way that makes sense to me, even if it looks a bit messy to anyone else. I’ve been here for years, and the shop has become a bit of a fixture in the neighborhood. People stop in to chat or to ask for help with one thing or another. I don't really bother with a big sign or any bright lights. The work speaks for itself, I suppose. I spend most of my hours here, often staying late if there’s a lot to catch up on. The fan overhead rattles a little when it’s on high, but you get used to it after a while. Sometimes the local kids play cricket right outside and I have to watch out for the ball. It’s a real community vibe here in Mundka. I don’t try to be anything I’m not. I just show up, do the work, and go home to my family. It’s a simple life, and this shop is the center of it. I’ve seen the area grow and change, but my little corner stays pretty much the same.
