Kothari Diamonds & Jewels

We are over here at Shop No-13 and 14 in Saraswati Niwas. It’s right on 689 Narayan Peth. Most days start with sweeping the front and making sure the glass on the counters isn't too smudged from the day before. Narayan Peth gets pretty busy, especially in the afternoons when the sun hits the street just right. People walk by constantly, and we see the same faces heading to work or the market nearby. The shop isn't huge, but having two parts like 13 and 14 gives us a bit more room to breathe than some of the other spots around here. We spend a lot of time just organizing things in the back or sitting at the counter waiting for the next person to walk through the door. The sign outside is getting a little old, but it still does the job. Usually, the morning is quiet, and that's when we get most of the paperwork done. My tea arrives around eleven from the guy down the alley, and that's the best part of the morning. We don't have fancy leather chairs or anything, just some sturdy stools and the usual display cases. It’s a bit of a routine, opening up, checking the inventory, and locking everything back up when the sun goes down. It's just how things go here at Saraswati Niwas. We've gotten used to the noise from the street traffic by now.
