Praveen Bearings

We've been at 19 Toran Bavri for a long time now. Most people know the spot because it's right near Hotel Sonika, just down that little lane. If you're looking for Praveen Bearings, that's where we sit every day. It’s not a fancy place, just a regular shop filled with boxes and shelves. We keep all sorts of bearings for different machines and vehicles. Sometimes people come in with a broken part and we spend a good chunk of time trying to match it up. It gets a bit dusty in here with all the metal and packaging, but that's how it goes. My cousin helps out sometimes when things get busy. We open up early in the morning and stay until the evening. The street can get pretty crowded with bikes and people walking by. If you walk past the hotel and turn into the gali, you’ll see our sign. It's nothing special to look at, just a place where we do our business. We try to keep what people need in stock so they don't have to wait around. Sometimes we have to order things in if it's something rare. It's just us here, working through the list of what needs to be done. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. New shops come and go, but we’re still here at the same address. That’s pretty much what we do every day. It's a simple life.
