Rakhi Gift Store

The Rakhi Gift Store is situated at C-62 in the Community Centre of Janakpuri. It’s a busy little area with plenty of other offices and shops around. Inside, you’ll see shelves mostly filled with different types of threads and decorated boxes. We spend a lot of time sorting through the inventory. It isn't a huge place, so things can get a bit cluttered during the peak months. There are rolls of packing tape and stacks of courier envelopes on the main table. We sit there and pack things up while the radio plays in the background. Janakpuri is a large neighborhood and being in the community centre means we are easy to reach. The floor is made of old tiles and the lighting is just regular tube lights. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. Usually, one of us is just sitting at the back handling the orders. Sometimes the delivery guys are waiting around for their parcels. We try to keep things organized but when a big shipment arrives, there's barely room to walk. It's a straightforward operation. We just focus on getting the gifts ready and making sure the threads aren't tangled. It gets hot in the afternoons but we have a small cooler that helps. It's just a regular workplace where we keep things moving every day. We have been in this Janakpuri spot for quite a bit now.
