New Bombay Art Saloon

New Bombay Art Saloon is right here in the Main Market area of Hridaypur. If you walk down Hridaypur Station Road, you will see our sign. We have been in North 24 Parganas for a while now. It is just a regular place where people come when they need a trim or a shave. The shop isn't fancy, just some chairs and mirrors. Most mornings, I get here early to sweep the floor and get the water ready. The fans hum all day long. Sometimes it gets crowded on Sundays because everyone is off work. People from the neighborhood stop by, mostly guys who have lived here forever. We talk about the local news or the weather while I work. The station road is always noisy with rickshaws and people rushing to catch their trains. It is a bit dusty outside because of all the traffic in the market, but inside it is okay. I try to keep things simple. There is no big menu or anything like that. You just come in, sit down, and tell me what you need. Some people want the same style they have had for twenty years. Others want something they saw on TV. I just do the work. It is a small business, and it keeps me busy from morning until late evening when the market starts to quiet down. Kolkata heat can be tough, but we manage.
