Tanishq Beauty Parlour

Tanishq Beauty Parlour is over in Morar Town, Gwalior, specifically in the Hariom Colony area. We are near what everyone calls 7 No Chouraha, which is a busy crossroads. There is always a lot of movement around the chouraha, with auto-rickshaws and people heading to the market. Our parlour is on a smaller street just off the main junction. It’s a quiet enough spot compared to the noise of the crossroads. Inside, we have a couple of chairs and a small table where I keep my appointment diary, though most people just walk in without calling first. The curtains are a bit faded from the sun, but they keep the place private. We have a few potted plants near the entrance that I try to water every morning, but they struggle in the Gwalior heat. Most of our customers are housewives from Hariom Colony who have been coming to us for years. We know their kids and their family problems by now. It feels more like a community spot than a business sometimes. We don't have any fancy music systems, just a small radio that plays old songs. The work is steady and it keeps us busy from morning until late evening. When the sun sets, the street lights at the chouraha come on and that’s usually when our last few customers show up before we head home. It is a simple life and we enjoy the daily routine of the shop.
