There was Dr. Kataria, proprietor of Gem Opticians, who in 1976 came over to Shri Nathji's house at Sarvodaya Enclave with the eye-testing chart and made a pair of spectacles for him. He also sold him special “gun metal” sunglasses made in Germany, which Shri Nathji liked tremendously.
When Shri Nathji made a sudden visit to his shop at South Extension Part II he was so touched to the heart that he said: “Aahaa! Aaj to meri dukaan men Bhagwan aa gaye! Aahaa! God has come into my shop today!”
Shri R.K. Kataria was the founder of GEM Opticians, who established the first store in South Extension-1 in 1969 with a focus on the luxury eyewear market.
The business is currently managed by the second and third generations of the Kataria family, including his son, Rajiv Kataria, who is a director and partner, and grandsons Ishaan and Trivin Kataria.
I am given an old photo of the shop, so that one can see how it looked when Shri Nathji visited it in 1970's.
