I run my business from Shop No 26 at the Agrasen Chouraha on the main road. If you are in Indore, you probably know the area near Nawlakha. My shop is right in front of the Kata Phod Temple, which is a very famous landmark around here. It makes it easy to give directions to people who are visiting for the first time. The chouraha is always buzzing with activity, cars honking and people walking to the temple. Being in the 452001 area means we are right in the middle of things. I spend most of my day at the shop, greeting people and handling the daily business. It’s a small space, but I have everything I need right there. I don't really bother with any of that corporate talk or fancy branding. People come here because they know I’m honest and I’ve been here for a long time. Sometimes I sit outside on a stool when it’s not too hot and just watch the crowd go by the temple. It’s a good way to stay connected to the neighborhood. The shop gets a bit dusty because of the main road, so I’m always cleaning something. But that’s just part of being a shop owner in Indore. I like the routine of opening up in the morning and seeing the familiar faces of other owners nearby.
