H. M. Tea

We’ve been over here at Plot No-995 in Jawahar Colony for a while now. Most people know the spot because we’re right near the Bada Gurudwara. It’s a busy part of town, especially with the NIT Institute right around the corner. We spend most of our mornings getting everything ready before the crowds start coming through the colony. H. M. Tea isn’t a huge operation, just a few of us working together to keep things moving. The shop is small but it does the job. Usually, it’s just about making sure we have enough stock on the shelves. You see the same faces every day, students from the institute or families living nearby. It gets a bit loud when classes let out, but that’s just how it is around here. We try to keep the place organized, though sometimes it gets cluttered when deliveries arrive at the same time. The address is pretty easy to find once you get into the colony. We don’t really do fancy stuff. Most people just stop in, get what they need, and head out. Sometimes we chat with the neighbors about how the weather is changing or what’s happening at the Gurudwara. It’s a quiet life mostly. We don’t have big signs or anything. Just the name on the front and some tea inside. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. New shops come and go, but we’ve stayed put at number 995.
