People normally don't go for this type of wares because they think these are costly as compared to normal earthern wares (flower pots, etc…). Will certainly visit.— A Negi (@asn9009) January 7, 2021
I wish someone help him selling online for people like us who looking forward to buy but living far from Noida.— SRRK- I am Sushant (@patel310) January 6, 2021
Will go there this weekend!— Srishti Rajiv Sharma (@SrishtiRajiv) January 6, 2021
The power of Internet has in the pandemic times given hope to many street vendors and small business owners.
