Ramlal Bhanwarlal Halwai

Ramlal Bhanwarlal Halwai is our little shop over at Agra Gate. This area is one of the busiest parts of the city. There are always rickshaws and carts moving past. We have been at Agra Gate for a long time. The shop is small and we have to stay organized so we don't trip over each other. Ramlal Bhanwarlal Halwai is the name on the board, though the paint is starting to flake off a bit now. We don't mind. We focus more on the work inside. We get here early to start the preparations. The stoves take a while to get hot. We use big metal spoons and heavy pans. It’s hard work on the arms and back, but we are used to it by now. The air around Agra Gate is often full of smoke and dust, so we try to keep the front as clean as we can. We don't have a fancy menu printed out. We just tell people what we have made for the day. Most people already know what they want before they step inside. We don't do any advertising or social media. We just rely on people seeing us when they walk by the gate. It’s a simple life and we are happy with it. We have our regulars and that is enough for us. The floor is old stone and the walls have seen better days. But the shop works and that is what matters.
