Lokhandwala Jumbo Xerox

The big xerox machine takes up most of the space here at Andheri Panchavati 47. People come in with stacks of papers, mostly students or folks from the nearby offices who need things copied fast. We have been here for a while now, just doing our thing every day. Sometimes the black ink gets on our hands and it is really hard to wash off with just soap. The shop is not very big, so when three or four people are waiting for their turn, it gets a bit crowded. We keep a few chairs for them, but usually, people just stand and wait for their prints to come out of the tray. The smell of warm paper is something you get used to after a few hours of working. It is just a regular shop where we handle paper, staples, and some basic binding work. We see a lot of different documents, from school notes to old property papers that look like they might fall apart if you touch them too hard. The power goes out once in a while, and we have to wait for the generator to kick in. It’s just how things go here in this part of town. We don’t have any fancy signs outside, just the work we do every day. If you walk past the main road, you’ll find us easily. It is a simple life, just making sure the copies come out clear. We’ve got a small fan that keeps the place from getting too hot.
