S G R Darshan Sweets

Our shop is right at Kailash Chowk 41426 in Chamrajpet. It’s a busy intersection, so there is always a lot of dust and noise from the buses passing by. S G R Darshan Sweets has been here for a good amount of time. Inside, it’s mostly just shelves and the big glass display cases. We spend a lot of our time in the back room where the heavy pots are. Making sweets is hard work on the arms. You have to stir the milk for hours sometimes until it thickens up just right. We don’t use any of those modern automatic machines because we never really learned how to work them. We just do it the way we were taught years ago. The floors are stone and they stay cool even when it’s hot outside. Sometimes the family helps out during the festivals when things get really crazy. Those days, we barely have time to eat our own lunch. We try to keep the place tidy, but with so many people coming in and out, it's a constant battle. We don’t have a fancy logo or anything. The sign outside is a bit faded from the sun. People in Chamrajpet know where we are. They come in for a box of something to take home for dinner. It’s a humble business. We aren't trying to become a huge chain. We just like being here at the chowk and seeing the same faces every week.
