Sukhdev Chhabilal Dudhwala

Sukhdev Chhabilal Dudhwala is tucked away near Haripur Ghandi Bazar Circle in Basvanagudi 1. If you live around here, you’ve probably seen us or at least heard the metal cans rattling in the morning. We’ve been handling milk for a long time now. It’s a very simple setup we have. We don't have flashy signs or modern furniture. It’s mostly just us, the milk, and the customers who have been coming since they were kids. The area around Ghandi Bazar is always full of life and noise, and we’re right in the middle of it. We spend most of our time measuring out milk and talking to the regulars about their families or the news. It’s a very hands-on job. My hands are usually wet or cold from handling the milk bags and the heavy cans. We don't use any fancy machines to do the selling, just old-fashioned scales and some worn-out notebooks to keep track of who owes what for the month. Sometimes we get a bit behind when the delivery truck is late, but most people understand because they know us. It’s a neighborhood place through and through. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we’re too busy with the daily routine to get around to it. Basvanagudi is a nice place to be, and we like being part of the morning ritual for the people living nearby. It’s hard work but it’s our life.
