Dharmesh Gandhi

My business is at 286504 Surat, right opposite J P Bakery in Nurpura. One of the best things about being here is the smell of fresh bread every morning. It makes me hungry before I’ve even started my work. Nurpura is a lively area and I’ve lived around here for most of my life. I’m Dharmesh Gandhi, and I’ve been running this spot for a good number of years. It’s not a huge place, just a simple room where I handle my business. I keep my own books and answer my own phone. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming when too many things happen at once, but I manage. The building is a bit old, so the walls have some cracks and the paint is peeling in the corners, but it has character. I like being opposite the bakery because it’s a good landmark for people who aren't from this street. I just tell them to look for the J P Bakery sign. Most of my customers are neighbors or people who heard about me from their cousins or friends. I don't use the internet much for work, I prefer talking to people face to face. It’s more personal that way. I usually close up around seven and head home. It’s a quiet life, but it’s mine. I don't need much more than a steady stream of work and a good cup of tea. Sometimes people stop by just to chat for a minute while they wait for their bread next door.
