Virasat

You can find us at 400/7 Ghumman Nagar, right off Sirhind Road here in Patiala. We’ve been running this place for a bit now. It’s a local business that focuses on things that have a bit of history to them. We have all sorts of stuff tucked away in the shop. It’s not one of those big modern stores with bright lights. It’s more of a traditional setup where things are stacked up and you have to look around a bit. We get a lot of local people coming in just to see what's new or to chat. The building is an older one, which fits what we do. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded when a new shipment comes in. We don't really have a big marketing plan. People just know we're here on Sirhind Road. We spend our time checking the quality of the items and making sure everything is in its place. It's a family-run kind of vibe. We don’t use fancy computers for everything; a lot is still written down in ledgers. It’s just a simple way of doing things. We like being part of the neighborhood. The traffic on the road can get loud, but inside it’s usually pretty calm. We just keep doing what we do, day in and day out. It’s a nice way to spend the day among old things.
