Raj Acharaya

We've been here at D 139 in Madipur for a while now. Raj Acharaya is just a small spot. Usually, the day starts with opening up the shutters and cleaning the glass on the displays at Raj Shree Jewellers. It’s a busy part of town so there’s always something going on outside on the street. People walk past, sometimes they stop to look, other times they’re just in a hurry to get to the station. Inside, it’s mostly just us sitting behind the counters. We deal with all sorts of things, small repairs or people looking for something specific for a wedding or a gift. It gets a bit dusty because of the road, but we try to keep things tidy. Sometimes the light in the back flickers a bit, but we’re used to it. It’s not a big fancy showroom like the ones in the city center, but it works for us. We know most of the neighbors around here. There’s a tea stall not too far away that we go to when it’s quiet. We spend a lot of time just organizing the stock and talking to whoever comes through the door. It’s a simple life really. We don’t have a massive team, just a few of us making sure everything is in its place. D 139 isn't hard to find once you get into the main market area of Madipur. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing every day.
