Pavansree

You’ll find Pavansree over on Aundh Road in Chickpet. Being at number 16 means we are right in the thick of things. It’s a small place, and we’ve lived and worked in this area for a long time. We do a bit of everything here, mostly just managing what comes through the door. The building has seen better days, but it’s sturdy and it keeps the rain out, mostly. We have a lot of regular visitors who stop by just to say hello while they’re out doing their own shopping. It’s a very social neighborhood. We don’t have a big corporate structure or fancy titles. I’m usually the one sweeping the front step while someone else is inside checking the ledgers. We use old-fashioned paper books for a lot of our record-keeping because it’s just easier for us to manage. The street outside is always full of life, and sometimes it gets so loud we have to shout to be heard. We don’t have any polished speeches about what we do. We just work hard and try to be fair with everyone. It’s a simple life, and we like the routine of opening up every morning and seeing the familiar faces of Chickpet. We just take things one day at a time and try to stay busy. It’s nothing special, but it’s our shop and we’ve been here for years now. We just hope the traffic isn't too bad for people trying to visit us.
