F. A. Chasmawala Pvt. Ltd.

We are situated over at Chasmawala House, which is tucked behind Vihar Cinema on Pratapnagar Road. People around here usually know the spot because of the cinema, though the traffic on Pratapnagar Road can get a bit much during the afternoons. Our building has been part of the landscape for quite a while now. We spend most of our days dealing with frames and lenses. It is a lot of small work, looking through eye charts and tightening those tiny screws that always seem to go missing on people’s glasses. The shop isn't anything fancy or shiny, just a place where we keep our stock and talk to the folks who walk in needing their vision sorted out. Sometimes it’s quiet, and other times we have three people all wanting their glasses adjusted at once. We just handle things as they come. Being behind the cinema means it’s a little tucked away from the main noise, but you still hear the city life going on around you. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. We keep the counters wiped down and the cases full of whatever we have in at the moment. There isn't a big philosophy here; we just open the doors in the morning, do the work that needs doing, and close up when the day is done. It’s a local operation, run by people who live nearby and know these streets well. We like the familiarity of the faces we see every week.
