Mukhwas Masti

We’ve been here at Irla Kripa Nagar on S V Road for a while now. Most people know the spot E-5/4. It’s just a small place where we handle all our mukhwas and after-meal items. The day usually starts early with us sorting through the different seeds and sweeteners. Irla is always busy, so there’s a lot of noise outside, but we just keep doing our thing inside. It’s not a fancy setup. We have shelves lined with jars and we spend most of our time packing things up or chatting with the regulars who drop by. Sometimes the delivery truck blocks the road for a minute, and we have to rush to move things. It gets a bit crowded when a few customers come in at once because the space isn't that big. We don't really do much advertising. People just find us while walking down S V Road or they hear about us from their neighbors. It's a simple business. We focus on getting the mix right, making sure the fennel and sugar are balanced. Sometimes the weather makes things a bit sticky, so we have to be careful with storage. We just like being part of the Irla community. It feels like home here. Most days are pretty much the same, just filling bags and making sure the shop looks decent enough for whoever walks in. It’s a lot of work but it keeps us busy and we like the routine of it all.
