Eighth Wonder

Eighth Wonder is over here at Shop No-1 in the Haji Mohammed Court building. We’ve been on Clare Road for a long time now. It’s right across from the Convent School, so it gets pretty busy when the kids are heading home or parents are waiting around the gate. Byculla is a loud place but we really like it here. People often just pop in because they saw the sign while walking past to the station. The shop isn't huge but it fits everything we need to do our work. Some days it’s just us fixing things or sorting through the stock we got in that week. We don't really do the big fancy advertising stuff, we just open the shutters in the morning and see who comes by. Living and working in Mumbai means you’re always dealing with the heavy rain or the summer heat, but the walls here are thick enough to keep it okay inside. It's an old building, Haji Mohammed Court has a bit of history to it if you look at the architecture. Mostly, we just handle the day-to-day stuff that comes our way. We’ve known the neighbors for years. If you’re looking for us, just find the school and look across the street. You might have to dodge a few rickshaws to cross over the road. It’s a simple setup, nothing too flashy. We keep the place tidy but it definitely looks like a working shop. Sometimes we're busy, sometimes it's quiet enough to have a tea and watch the traffic go by.
