Manoj Steel Bhandar

I've been coming to Manoj Steel Bhandar here at H-8 Alkapuri Swaminarayan Shopping Centre every morning for a long time now. It’s a pretty basic setup where we keep all the steel items people need for their homes. Most of the day is spent checking the stock or helping someone find a specific size of container that they can't see on the shelves. It gets a bit crowded in the shopping centre during the evenings but that is just how it is. We don't have a big fancy office or anything like that. Just a desk in the corner and rows of steel plates and pots. Some days are slow and we just sit and talk to the other shop owners nearby. When someone comes in looking for a gift for a wedding, we spend a lot of time showing them different sets. It is hard work sometimes because the boxes are heavy and the metal gets cold in the winter. We try to keep things organized but sometimes the piles get a bit messy when we are busy. People know us by name around here because we have been at this address for years. I usually open up around ten and stay until the lights in the centre start turning off. There isn't much to it besides just being here and making sure we have what people ask for. It’s just a regular shop doing regular business in Alkapuri.
