Neha Spa & Men

Open the shop at Shop No -03/29 on Awadhpuri Road every morning. We've been here for a good while now in the Awadhpuri area of Bhopal. It's a busy street, especially in the evenings when everyone is heading home from work. The shop isn't huge, just enough room for a few chairs and the usual mirrors on the walls. We spend most of the early morning cleaning up and making sure the towels are washed and ready. Khajuri Kala and Jawahar Nagar are right nearby, so we see a lot of the same people every day. It's mostly local men from the neighborhood who stop in for a bit. The walls are painted a simple color that’s starting to peel a little in the corners, but it doesn't bother anyone. We have a small fan that rattles quite a bit when it's on the high setting. Sometimes the traffic noise outside gets really loud, but you get used to it after a week. We keep a few old magazines on the wooden table for when people have to wait. Usually, the place stays quiet until about four in the afternoon. Then the rush starts and we’re on our feet until late. We try to keep the floor swept between customers because hair tends to get everywhere. It’s just a normal, practical place where you can sit down and relax for a few minutes. We don't have fancy lights or anything like that, just basic tube lights. It's a steady life here on the road.
