Golden Point

You can find us at 170-A Bapu Khote Street. We are right opposite the Khatri Masjid. It’s a landmark everyone knows around here. We are near Pydhonie, but the address also links us over toward Dadar East and Gautam Nagar near Dada Saheb Phalke Road. It’s a bit of a crossroads. The street is always full of life. You hear the prayers from the masjid and the sounds of the market all day long. Our shop, Golden Point, is a modest place. We handle a bit of everything. The walls are lined with whatever stock we are carrying that month. It’s a bit cramped inside because we try to keep a lot of inventory on hand. The building is old, with those thick walls and a ceiling that’s seen better days. We don’t mind. It stays relatively cool in the heat. My cousin helps me out most days. We spend a lot of time just talking to the regulars who stop by. Being near Pydhonie means there's always something happening outside. We've seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years, but Bapu Khote Street stays pretty much the same. We open up early and stay until the last shop nearby closes. It's just a regular part of the local trade. No frills, just business as usual. Being across from Khatri Masjid means we always know what time it is. Pydhonie is such a busy area that we rarely have a quiet moment, but we prefer it that way. If it’s too quiet, it feels like something is wrong. Our spot at 170-A Bapu Khote Street is small, but we make it work. We have history here. My father used to sit in the same corner where I have my desk now. We don't have a website or anything. People just know where we are. We have a small fan that rattles on the wall, but it helps when the humidity gets high in Dadar East.
