Fame Nakshatra

Fame Nakshatra is located inside the Nakshatra Mall on Ranade Road. We are up on the 2nd floor. Being in Dadar West means it is always incredibly crowded outside. The walk from the station to the mall is a struggle some days because of all the vendors on the sidewalk. Once you get inside and up to the 2nd floor, it's a bit more manageable. We have a modest space where we set up our displays. It is a lot of standing around and talking to people who wander in. We spend time keeping the glass clean and making sure everything looks presentable. It’s a different vibe than a street shop. The mall has its own rhythm with the music playing and the air conditioning. We've been here for a while now. Some days are just filled with window shoppers and we don't do much. Other times it gets really frantic, especially during the festival seasons. We aren't some giant corporate chain, just a local spot trying to make a go of it in a busy mall. Ranade Road is the heart of the shopping district, so we see a lot of different faces. We just try to keep things simple and stay helpful when someone asks a question. It’s a regular job in a busy part of Mumbai. Sometimes the mall lights flicker and the elevator is broken, so we have to take the stairs. It keeps us fit, I guess.
