Anil Hair Dresser

Anil Hair Dresser is tucked away in Ganesh Market in Paota, Kotputli. It’s a busy little market area and we’ve been part of it for a long time. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just a door and a small window. Inside, we have our chairs lined up against the wall. We mostly serve the people who live nearby or the farmers who come into town for the market. It’s a simple setup. We use traditional tools and we don't bother with anything too modern or complicated. My father started this and now I’m the one running things most days. We talk about the crops, the weather, and local politics while we work. It keeps the day interesting for everyone. The market can get very crowded on certain days, and that’s when we’re the busiest. We don't have a cooling system, just a big ceiling fan that rattles a bit when it's on high. You get used to the sound after a while. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when there are no customers, just watching the people go by in Ganesh Market. We don't have any big promises or fancy flyers. If someone needs a haircut, they come in and we do it. It’s a basic way of living, but it works for us here in Kotputli. We’ve been at this spot for decades and don't plan on moving anywhere else.
