Muskaan

Muskaan is right on Tankshal Road in Kalupur. The exact spot is 1390 Mamunayak Pole. It’s one of those old areas where everything is close together. We’ve been in this building for quite a while. The street outside is always crowded with people and carts. It can be a bit loud during the middle of the day. Inside, we just have our workspace set up. It’s a traditional kind of setup. We don’t have fancy glass partitions or anything. It’s mostly wooden tables and some shelves. We do our work by hand mostly. It’s the way we learned. There isn't much space to move around, but we’ve gotten good at not bumping into each other. We drink a lot of chai throughout the day. Usually, one of the younger guys goes out to get it. Customers come in through the front door which stays open to let some air in. It gets stuffy otherwise. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop in Kalupur. We just want to make sure the things we produce are okay. We check everything ourselves. If it’s not right, we fix it. That’s just how we were taught. It’s a living, and it’s what we know how to do. We like being part of the local market here. Sometimes we stay late when a big order comes in, but we don't mind the extra hours when the work is there to be done. We just keep our heads down and finish the day's tasks.
