Bansuri Sweets

If you head over to Chandra Layout in Chandan Nagar, near Jakat Naka 10, you’ll find our shop, Bansuri Sweets. It’s a corner spot that’s been part of this neighborhood for a while now. The morning usually starts with the delivery trucks pulling up and us dragging in heavy sacks of flour. It’s a routine we’ve had for years. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be smart about where we stack the crates. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped when the afternoon rush hits. We have a few benches out front where people sit and talk while they eat. The neighborhood has changed a lot, but we’ve mostly stayed the same. Our staff is just a handful of guys who have been working together for ages. We don't use any fancy machines; most of what we do is still done by hand. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the ceiling fan makes a clicking sound that we’ve stopped noticing. We just focus on keeping the trays full. It gets pretty humid in the back during the summer, but that’s part of the job. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know we are here by the smell of the kitchen as they walk by Jakat Naka. It’s just a plain, local business where we show up and do the work every single day.
