Himanshu Food Products

Started out here at Polytechnic Chowk quite a while back. It gets pretty loud outside with the traffic coming through Marwatia and heading over towards Purani Basti, but we’ve gotten used to it. Most mornings start with the staff rolling up the shutters while it’s still cool out. We make food products mostly, though what we have on hand depends on the day. Sometimes the machines act up or the delivery trucks are late because of the narrow roads around the chowk. We don't have any fancy office or anything, just the production area and a small desk where we keep the records. People from the neighborhood stop by sometimes just to say hello or ask what's fresh. We try to keep the floors swept, but with food stuff moving around, there’s always a bit of a mess to clean. It’s a lot of work, honestly. We handle things ourselves, from checking the bags to making sure the scales are working right. The building isn’t much to look at, just a regular place in a busy spot, but it’s where we spend most of our time. Sometimes we stay late when there’s a big order to get through, drinking tea from the stall across the way. It’s just how things go here. We aren't doing anything world-changing, just getting the work done and trying to keep the quality decent enough for the folks who buy from us. It's a simple life.
