Raj Metals & General

Raj Metals & General is a small shop located at 966A Gokhale Nagar. We are right on Varachha Road inside the Chitra Appartment building. It’s a very busy street, and there is always a lot of traffic passing by our front door. We handle a lot of metal items and general goods, so the shop is usually filled with all kinds of stuff. We don’t have much in the way of storage, so everything is pretty much out on the shelves or stacked in the corners. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes when we get a new shipment in. We’ve been in Gokhale Nagar for a good while and we’ve gotten to know the people living in Chitra Appartment and the surrounding buildings. We aren't a big chain or anything like that. It’s just us running the place day to day. We open the shutters early in the morning and we’re usually here until late evening. The shop doesn't have any fancy decorations; it’s just a practical space for selling goods. We have a couple of old fans that keep the place from getting too stuffy in the heat. Sometimes it gets a little disorganized when we are busy, but we eventually get everything back in its place. We don't use any complicated systems, just a simple notebook for our records and a lot of memory. It’s a humble business, but it keeps us active and involved in the local community.
