Madhuram Sweets & Farsan

The smell of frying snacks and sweet syrup is the first thing you notice when you walk into Madhuram Sweets & Farsan. We are located in Borivali West Malleshwaram West 35/36, and the morning rush usually starts earlier than you would think. People come in looking for fresh breakfast items before they head to the station. My apron is usually covered in flour by ten in the morning. We spend a lot of time standing at the glass counters, arranging the different types of sweets and snacks so they look decent. The floor can get a little sticky when we are making the sugar syrups, so we are constantly mopping things down. It is a noisy place with the sound of the fryers going and customers shouting their orders over the counter. We have a few regular people who come in every day for the same thing, and we usually have it ready for them before they even ask. Sometimes we run out of the popular farsan by the afternoon and have to tell people to wait for the next batch to be ready. It gets crowded in the small space behind the counter, especially when we have three or four people working at once. We don't have a fancy display system, just the same metal trays we have used for years. It is hard work being on your feet all day, but seeing the same faces from the neighborhood makes it feel like a normal part of life.
