Being on Kishanpole Bazar Main Road means there is never a quiet moment. We are at 204, right where the traffic is always moving and the horns are always honking. This shop, S K Patakawala, has seen a lot of changes in the market over the years. We handle all the usual stuff you’d expect in a shop like this. During the festival seasons, the whole place gets packed and things can get a bit hectic. We try to keep everything organized but when you have stacks of boxes and people coming in and out, it gets crowded fast. My family has been around this area for a long time, so we know a lot of the other shopkeepers on the road. It’s a community, even if we are all busy with our own stuff. The shop itself is nothing special to look at, just four walls and a lot of shelves, but it’s where we spend most of our lives. We don’t have any big corporate ideas or anything like that. We just open up in the morning, sweep the front, and see who comes by. Sometimes the heat in the afternoon makes everyone a bit slow, but the evening rush always picks things back up. It’s just us doing what we’ve always done on this busy stretch of road in the middle of the city. We hope to stay here as long as the bazar keeps running and the people keep coming.
