M K Hardware

M K Hardware is located at number 3-3-8 on R.P. Road. We are right near the Dargah, which is the easiest way to tell people how to find us. The shop has been here for a long time, and it shows. The shelves are made of dark wood and are filled with every kind of screw, bolt, and tool you could think of. It is a bit dusty, and the floor is just plain concrete that has seen a lot of wear over the years. We open up early because that is when the workmen come in to get their supplies before starting their jobs. R.P. Road is always full of energy, with rickshaws and people moving about. The sound of the prayers from the Dargah is a regular part of our day. My father started this business, and I took it over from him. We don't use computers much; we still have the old way of doing things with paper bills and manual entries. It is a small shop, so if more than three people come in at once, it feels very crowded. We have a small wooden stool where I sit near the entrance. We don't really do any promotion. People just know we are here and that we usually have the specific hardware they need. It is a simple life, and we like the people we meet every day.
