Padmini

You can find Padmini at number 45 in Banaswadi. We have been in this neighborhood for a good long time now. It is a small place, nothing too fancy, but we like it here. People often stop by while they are walking down the street or heading home from work. We do not have a big staff, just us managing the day-to-day things. Banaswadi has changed a lot since we first opened our doors. More shops have come up and the streets are definitely noisier, but we just keep doing what we do. We do not spend a lot of time on the computer or trying to get people’s attention with loud music. Usually, it is just us and the customers chatting about whatever is going on in the area. We try to keep things tidy and make sure everything is where it should be on the shelves. It is the kind of place where we know many of our customers by their first names and they know us. We are not trying to be the biggest shop in town or anything like that. We just want to provide what we have and be a part of the community. Sometimes it gets a bit quiet in the afternoons, which gives us time to reorganize and sweep up. We just take it one day at a time here at 45 Banaswadi. It is a simple life and a simple business that we are proud of.
