Arora Paints & Hardware Store

You can find us right on the main Najafgarh Road, specifically at 531 Nangloi. We are very close to the Punjab National Bank, so that is a good landmark if you are looking for the shop. It gets very dusty out here with all the trucks passing by the main chowk. We sell paints and hardware stuff to the people living around here. It’s a small shop but we pack a lot into it. There are cans of paint stacked up to the ceiling and boxes of screws everywhere. Sometimes I can’t even find a specific wrench right away because things get shifted around during the day. We’ve been here at this location for years now. My hands are usually stained with some color or grease by lunchtime. It isn't a glamorous job, but someone has to provide the tools for the local builders and homeowners. We open up early and stay late most evenings. People come in asking for advice on what pipe fits or which color looks best on a damp wall. We just tell them what we know from experience. There is no fancy computer system here, just us and our stock. The neighbors are good people. We see the same faces every week. It’s a busy life here in Nangloi. We don't have time for much else besides keeping the shelves full and the customers happy with what they buy.
