Sharma Fire Works

Our shop is over on Gyan Marg in Surajpole, right at number 16. Sharma Fire Works has been a part of the local scene for years. It's a bit of a seasonal trade, as you can imagine. When festival time comes around, this whole street gets packed. We spend most of our time getting ready for those big rushes. The rest of the year is a bit quieter, which gives us time to fix up the place. We keep everything stored safely because that's just how you have to do things in this line of work. It’s a family-run thing. My cousins and I usually handle the customers. We’ve lived in this part of town our whole lives. You learn a lot about people when they are looking for something to celebrate with. The shop itself isn't huge, but we make the most of the space we have. We try to keep the stock fresh and the shelves tidy, though it gets messy when we're busy. People know us for being reliable. We don't go for flashy displays or loud music. Just a simple counter and the products behind it. Surajpole is a good place to be, even with all the noise. We usually have a radio playing in the background while we work. It keeps us company during the long afternoons. That's basically us. We usually close up once the sun goes down completely.
