Jay Kshetrapal Hardware

Jay Kshetrapal Hardware is a small shop located in Ambika Residency in Katargam. We are right across from Paras Society. It’s a typical local hardware store where everything is stacked up to the ceiling. If you need a specific nut or bolt, we probably have it buried somewhere in a drawer. My father opened this shop a long time ago and I took it over after I finished school. I spend most of my day sitting behind the counter or climbing ladders to find things for customers. We sell tools, plumbing supplies, and all the bits and pieces people need for their houses. It gets a bit crowded inside when more than three people show up at once. The floor is concrete and the shelves are wooden and starting to sag a bit from the weight of the paint cans. We don't do any flashy promotions. People come here because they know we are open early and we stay open late. Katargam is a busy area, so there is always someone needing something fixed at home. Sometimes people just come in to ask for advice on how to fix a leaky pipe. I don't mind helping out when I can. It’s a steady life. We don't have a corporate office or fancy uniforms. We just wear our regular clothes and help people find what they are looking for so they can get back to their day.
