Arasi

Arasi is located in Gulab Bagh. It's a nice area to be in. We’ve been here for a bit now, just doing our thing. The shop isn't huge, but it fits what we need. We don't have a fancy sign or anything, just the name on the door. Most days start early before the sun gets too hot. We open up, sweep the front, and get to work. Gulab Bagh has a lot of history, and you can feel it when you walk around. Our space is filled with whatever we are working on at the moment. It’s a bit cluttered, but we know where everything is. People stop by to chat as much as they do to look at what we have. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to provide something useful to the people who live around here. Sometimes we run out of supplies and have to wait for the truck, which is annoying but part of the job. We don’t use any big words or corporate talk. We just tell people what we have and what it costs. It’s a straightforward way of doing things. The building is old and the walls could use some paint, but it feels like home to us. We’ll probably be here for a long time to come because this is where our roots are. The neighbors are good people and we all look out for each other when things get busy or the weather turns bad. It is just a simple business in a simple neighborhood.
