Capitan Confectionery Shop

Our shop, Capitan Confectionery Shop, is located in Abdullapur Basti, right on the 2nd Cross, number 1589. Sowrastrapet is a lively area and we have been part of it for a long time. The shop is not very large, so we have to be careful about how we stack the jars of sweets and snacks. We spend a lot of time just moving things around to make space. Every day is pretty much the same routine. We open the front gate and start organizing the counter. People from the basti drop in for small things, maybe some biscuits or a bit of candy for their kids. The walls have been painted a few times, but the dust from the street always finds its way back in. We do not have a big team, just a couple of us who take turns behind the counter. It can get a bit lonely when the street is quiet, but usually, there is someone passing by to chat with for a minute. We do not do anything special or have any grand plans. We just want to keep the shop running like it always has. The neighbors know us and we know them, which makes the long hours feel a bit shorter. If you walk down 2nd Cross, you will see our little spot. It is nothing out of the ordinary, just a local confectionery where we do our best to stay busy every single day.
