Kashmir Paints & Hardware Store

We are located at 11-E/23-C in Lajpat Nagar II. Being right opposite Central Market means there is never a dull moment. Kashmir Paints & Hardware Store is a small place but we pack a lot into it. You can find almost any hardware item if you look through the drawers long enough. We mostly deal with locals who are renovating or just fixing a leaky tap. It’s a bit of a walk from the main parking, so people usually come on foot. The shop has been here through many changes in the market. We see the same faces every week. It’s funny how everyone needs a specific type of screw or a very particular shade of off-white. We spend a lot of time climbing ladders to get things from the top shelves. It keeps us moving. The front of the shop usually has some display items, but mostly it's just boxes waiting to be unpacked. We don't use a lot of technology here. Paper bills and a pen are usually enough. Sometimes the tea guy comes around and we take a five-minute break. The noise from the Central Market shoppers is always in the background. It’s just how things are at 11-E/23-C. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t. Just a hardware store doing its thing in a busy part of Delhi. On Sundays, the area gets even more packed, so we have to watch the door carefully. It’s a lot to manage.
