Sunrise Handicraft

You can find us in Dwarka Sector 3, specifically in Pocket 16, at number 73. It’s a residential area, so it’s much quieter than the markets in old Delhi. I set this up in a small space where I could have some peace to work. The room is usually filled with the smell of wood and some paint. There are tools scattered on the workbench, and I try to keep them organized, but it never lasts long. I spend hours sitting on a low stool, working on different pieces. It’s slow work. My hands are usually stained with something or other by the end of the day. I have a small radio that plays the news while I work, just to keep me company. The neighbors in Pocket 16 are nice people who sometimes stop by to see what I’m making. It’s not a big factory or anything, just me and a couple of helpers when things get busy. We take our time with each item because that's how it should be done. Sometimes the light in the afternoon is just right for the detailed parts. I usually have a cup of tea around four and sit by the door to watch the park nearby. It’s a steady way to spend the day. I don't miss the rush of the city at all. At number 73, we just keep to ourselves and do the work.
