Awan Kumar Sharma

I run my little shop, G/6, inside the North Square Mall at Netaji Subhash Place in Pitampura. My name is Awan Kumar Sharma, and I’ve been here since the mall was relatively new. It’s a small space, but I’ve managed to fit everything I need inside. I mostly deal with everyday items that people living or working nearby might need in a hurry. The mall gets quite a lot of foot traffic, especially on the weekends, so I’m usually on my feet most of the day. It’s not a high-end boutique or anything like that. It’s just a regular shop where I keep the shelves stocked with whatever is in demand at the time. I handle the accounts and the cleaning myself because it’s easier that way. The lighting in the mall is bright, and there’s always music playing from the speakers outside, which makes the day go by faster. Sometimes I chat with the other shop owners nearby when things are slow. We all know each other's names and help out if someone needs a break or is running late. I don’t have a website or do any fancy advertising. People just see the shop as they’re walking to the food court or the movies and stop in. It’s a simple life, and I like having my own place where I can set my own hours and manage things my way. It gets a bit tiring sometimes but it's good.
