Prabhudaas Kakubhai

We are located in New Town, right where the Weekly Market happens in Badnera. If you’ve ever been here on a market day, you know how loud and crowded it gets. It’s a lot of energy with people shouting and carts moving everywhere. Our place is right in the thick of it. We’ve been in Badnera for a long time, watching the town change and grow bit by bit. The building we are in is simple and doesn't have any decorations. Inside, it smells like the market outside—a mix of everything. We spend our days dealing with whatever comes through the door. Some days are slow and we just sit and watch the traffic, and other days we don’t even have time to eat our lunch. It’s a practical kind of life. We don’t use any complicated systems; we just write things down and keep track of our business the old way. The floor is made of stone and stays cool in the summer, which is a blessing because it gets really hot in this part of the country. We know the other shopkeepers around here, and we often share a cup of tea in the afternoon when things quiet down for a minute. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s our life and we’ve been doing it this way since the beginning. We just stay here and do what we do. The market is where everything happens for us and we enjoy being right in the center of the town’s activity.
