Ashok Kumar Chimanlal

We are located on Tata Road in the Chhani area and the business is named Ashok Kumar Chimanlal. It’s a family-run kind of place that’s been around for quite a while. The road outside is usually busy with people going about their business, and it can get a bit noisy during the middle of the day. Our building is a simple one, nothing too modern or flashy. We have a front area where we meet people and a back area where we keep all the records and supplies. The furniture is mostly old wood that has been here since we first started. We don’t have any big marketing slogans or anything like that. We just focus on getting the day's tasks done. A lot of our time is spent on the phone or talking to people who come by the shop on Tata Road. We drink a lot of water and tea to stay cool because the Chhani sun can be quite strong in the afternoons. The floor is made of stone and it stays relatively cool, which helps. We know almost everyone on this stretch of the road, and we often spend a few minutes catching up with the neighbors. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living. We open up the shutters every morning and close them when it gets dark. There isn't much more to it than that. It is just our daily routine and we are used to it.
