Bholenath Ele & Hardware Stores

We are right here at Building No. 577 in Narayan Peth, just around Patrya Maruti Chowk where the traffic gets a bit much sometimes. Most days start early for us, pulling up the shutters and seeing the morning sun hit the street. The shop is full of boxes and metal stuff, and there is usually a bit of dust because it’s a hardware place after all. People from the neighborhood come by for small things, maybe a few screws or some wire they forgot to buy. We spend a lot of time just moving things around to make space or checking what came in the latest delivery. It isn't a fancy setup with air conditioning or glass doors. Just a regular counter and shelves stacked high with things people need for their houses. Sometimes the fan makes a bit of noise, and we have to talk louder over the bikes passing by outside. It gets busy during the middle of the day, then settles down when the sun goes down. We have been in this spot for a while now, so the faces of the nearby shopkeepers are familiar. It's just us doing the work, day in and day out, making sure the inventory is where it should be. Not much more to it than that, really. There are no fancy signs or uniforms, just a group of us helping out whoever walks through the door needing a tool or a part for their electrical fix at home.
