Madhumita Art Saloon

I have been running Madhumita Art Saloon here on Muraripukur Road for quite some time now. If you know the Ultadanga area, you probably know where we are, right near the Kabarsthan. It is a busy spot and there is always noise from the street, but inside the shop, we just focus on the work. I usually get here early to sweep up the hair from the day before and wipe down the mirrors. The chairs are old but they are comfortable enough for a quick trim or a shave. People around here don't want anything too fancy, they just want to look decent for work or a family thing. We have the usual stuff, scissors, some combs, and the spray bottle that sometimes leaks a bit. It gets really hot in the afternoons, so the ceiling fan is always running at full speed, making that clicking sound. Neighbors stop by even when they don't need a haircut, just to say hello or check the cricket score on the small radio I keep in the corner. Being at this address in Kolkata - 700067 means we see all sorts of people walking by. Sometimes the rain gets heavy and leaks under the door, so we have to use old towels to soak it up. It is just a simple place to get your hair done without a lot of talking if you are tired. I try to keep things clean, but with the dust from the road, it is a constant job.
