Adigas

So, we are located at Banaswadi 46. It is a pretty straightforward spot, right on the main stretch where everyone seems to be in a hurry. Our building isn't anything special to look at, just a regular place with number 46 on the wall. Every morning starts quite early for us. We get the shutters up before the sun is even really high, and the smell of the kitchen starts filling up the small space we have. Banaswadi has changed a lot over the years, becoming much more crowded than it used to be, but we’re still right here. There’s a tree nearby that drops leaves all over the front, so someone is usually out there sweeping at least twice a day. We don't really do big advertisements or anything. Most people who come in are just locals who live down the street or workers taking a break. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, especially near the back, so we just open the doors wide and hope for a breeze. It’s a lot of hard work, standing on your feet all day and making sure things are ready, but that’s the life of a shop owner here. We just focus on what’s right in front of us. If you’re passing by number 46, you’ll probably see us through the window, just doing our thing like we do every single day. We've been here a long time and expect to be here for a long time more.
