S S B Dark Wonder

I spend most of my day here at Basaveshwara Nagar 1042. This place, S S B Dark Wonder, is where I end up every single morning before the sun really gets strong. The shutters are a bit heavy and they make a loud scraping noise when I pull them up, but the neighbors are probably used to it by now. Inside, it smells a bit like old dust and whatever we had for lunch in the back room. I usually start by wiping down the counters and checking if the lights are all working. Sometimes the one in the back flickers, but I haven't got around to fixing it yet. People wander in from the street, mostly just looking around or asking for directions at first. It is not a very big shop, but it fits what we need. The shelves are mostly full now, though I need to reorganize the corner section soon because it looks a bit messy. The floor is that old grey tile that never really looks clean no matter how much I mop it, but it is sturdy enough. Outside, the traffic on the main road starts picking up around nine and it stays noisy until late at night. I keep a small stool behind the counter for when things get slow and I can just sit for a minute. It is just a regular business, nothing too fancy, just a spot in the neighborhood where we do our thing.
