Raut Gents Parlour

Our place is situated at Dargah Chowk on Sangram Nagar Road. Being right near the Dargah means there are always people walking past the windows. It’s a lively part of Aurangabad. The shop itself is simple. We have the old-style chairs that lean back and a couple of large mirrors that have seen better days. Every morning starts with opening the shutters and letting some air in. The road outside can get quite dusty, especially in the afternoons when the wind picks up. We usually have the radio playing softly in the background, mostly just local stations or news. It’s a gents' parlour, so the talk is usually about the weather or what’s happening in the city. We keep the razors sharp and the towels clean. There isn't much space for a big waiting area, but there are a few plastic chairs tucked against the wall. Sometimes friends drop in just to say hello even if they don’t need a haircut. We use standard stuff, nothing too expensive or complicated. It is just a local business trying to do things right for the people who live around Sangram Nagar and Dargah Road. You can find us easily because we are so close to the main chowk. Most of our tools have been with us for years. We just keep working through the day until it’s time to close up and go home.
