Durgaram Hema Ram

Subhash Marg is a long road, and we are right there on Sojat Road. Durgaram Hema Ram is what people call the place. It's been around for quite a bit. The road gets very dusty when the wind picks up, especially in the dry months. We spend a lot of time just sweeping the front so it looks decent. Inside, we have our items stacked up. It’s not a showroom, just a working space where we get things done. We wake up early to beat the heat. The sun hits the front of the shop in the morning, so it gets warm early on. We drink a lot of water and keep the fans going. People stop by on their way to other parts of town. We handle the orders and talk to the drivers who bring the goods. Sometimes we have to wait around for hours for a delivery that was supposed to be here at nine. That’s just how it goes on Sojat Road. We don’t have a computer system or anything like that. We use paper and pens, and we know where everything is kept by memory. It's a bit of a mess sometimes, but we find what we need. The neighbors are good people, and we often share news over the fence. It’s a steady kind of life, nothing too exciting, just the daily routine of Durgaram Hema Ram. We close up when it's time.
