Assandas Rewachand Sweet Shop

We’ve been here on Alwar Gate Diggi Baazar Road for quite a while now. Assandas Rewachand Sweet Shop is just a regular place where we get up early every morning to start the fires and get the milk boiling. It’s noisy out there on the road, but inside it smells like cardamom and sugar most of the day. People stop by on their way to work or when they’re heading home to pick up something small for the kids. We don't do anything fancy, just the usual stuff you'd expect to find in a neighborhood shop. Some days are busier than others, especially when there’s a festival or a wedding nearby, and then we’re all hands on deck trying to keep up. My hands are usually sticky by noon. It’s a lot of work, standing over the big pans, stirring and watching so nothing burns. The floor gets a bit dusty because of the traffic outside, but we try to keep the counters clean. We know most of the faces that come through the door. It’s nice when someone tells us they liked the batch of laddoos from yesterday. We just try to do a decent job and stay open until the last customer leaves. Sometimes we run out of things early, and that’s just how it goes. We aren't trying to change the world, just keeping the shop running and making sure the sweets are fresh for whoever walks in from the street. We hope to stay right here for years.
