Indu Kashmir

Our place is over in Khijrabad, which is part of New Friends Colony. The address is 26C/1. It is a bit of a tucked-away spot compared to the main market area. We deal with stuff from Kashmir, mostly things like shawls and carpets that take up a lot of room. The shop is not huge, so we have to stack things pretty high. Usually, one of us is here from ten in the morning until late evening. It is mostly quiet on our street except when the delivery trucks try to squeeze through the narrow lanes. We have been in this part of Delhi for some time. Dealing with textiles means there is always lint and thread everywhere, so we are constantly sweeping up. It is just a basic work environment, nothing like those big showrooms you see in the malls. We talk to the weavers quite a bit to see what they have ready. Sometimes the shipments take longer than they should because of the mountain roads, but that is just part of it. We keep a ledger on the desk to track everything by hand. It feels more reliable that way. Neighbors stop by for tea sometimes. It is a friendly enough neighborhood. We do not do much advertising, mostly people find us because they live nearby or someone told them about the Khijrabad location. It is a steady life and we just take things as they come each day without much fuss.
