Kurban Ali Kadar Ji Delhiwala

Our place, Kurban Ali Kadar Ji Delhiwala, is tucked away at Mandi Ki Naal 7. It is an old part of the city and the streets are very narrow. You can barely fit a cart through some of them. We have been operating from this same spot for generations. The name Delhiwala comes from our family history, though we have been here for a very long time now. We deal in various goods that come through the mandi. It is a lot of lifting and moving boxes around. The shop itself feels more like a warehouse sometimes because there is stuff everywhere. We don't have air conditioning or fancy lights. We just use the natural light from the doorway and a couple of bulbs. Most of our business is done through word of mouth. We know almost everyone who walks by the shop. It is a tight-knit community here. We don't have a marketing plan or any big goals to expand into a giant corporation. We just want to keep the family name going and do right by the people who buy from us. Some days are slow and we just sit and drink tea, while other days we don't even have time to eat lunch. That is just how the market works. We have a big heavy safe that has been in the family for years. It is probably worth more than the stuff inside it. We don't use much technology, just a simple calculator and a lot of memory. Our customers are more like friends now. We talk about the weather and the news.
