Nitin V Lotiya

We’ve been here at 77/7 Killari Road for quite a while now. If you know the area around B V K Iyengar Road, you know how busy it gets every single morning. We are tucked away on the 21st Cross. It's right behind the Clock House, which usually helps people find us when they get lost in the narrow lanes. The shop itself isn't anything fancy. It’s just where Nitin V Lotiya operates from. Most days start early with the tea stall nearby opening up. We usually grab a tea at the corner while we wait for the day to start properly. You can hear the traffic from the main road, but the 21st Cross is a bit more manageable most of the time. There is a lot of history in these streets around Killari Road. We just do our work and go home. Sometimes the electricity acts up or the rain makes the road muddy, but that's just part of being in this part of town. People stop by to ask for directions because the Clock House is such a big landmark. We keep our space simple. There isn't much room for extra stuff, so everything has its place. Most of our neighbors have been here as long as we have. It feels like a small community even though the city is so huge outside. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the address on the door. It works for us.
