Kamar Raj Traders

Kamar Raj Traders is located over at Shop No 9 and 10 in the Seventha Height building. It’s right in the middle of the Balaji Nagar New Timber Market area. We spend most of our days surrounded by piles of wood and the smell of sawdust is everywhere. It’s a busy spot and since we have two shops next to each other, there is a bit of space to keep the stock. We usually open up early because the trucks start arriving with new timber and they need to be unloaded before the traffic gets too bad. The floor is always covered in bits of wood and we are constantly sweeping but it never stays clean for long. We know most of the other shop owners in the market and we often share tea while waiting for the next load to arrive. It can get pretty hot inside the shop during the summer months but we just keep the fans going and get on with the work. People from the neighborhood come by looking for specific cuts of wood for their homes and we do our best to find what they need in the stacks. It’s not a very fancy setup, just some solid walls and a lot of timber piled up to the ceiling. We've been at this location for quite some time now and it feels like home to us. The street outside is always noisy with people shouting and horns honking. We just keep our heads down and handle the wood.
