New Modern

Our shop is in Dadar East at Saikunj, Shop Number 16. It’s right on Dr. Ambedkar Road, so the buses and cars are always flying past the front door. We’ve been in this building for a long time now. It’s a small space, but we make it work by stacking things high. We spend a lot of time moving boxes around to make more room for people to walk. The shelves go all the way to the ceiling and we have to use a wooden ladder to get stuff down. It’s just a regular shop in a very busy part of town. We see all kinds of people coming in from the station nearby. Dadar is always crowded, so there is never a dull moment during the day. We keep the floors swept and the items in order as best as we can. It’s not a fancy place, just a practical one for the locals. My father started this business, and now we are just keeping it going. We know the other shopkeepers on the block and sometimes we have a chat outside when things get slow. The name might be New Modern, but we’ve been here long enough to feel like an old part of the street. We don't have any big signs or bright flashing lights. Just the shop and the people who come in to buy what they need for their homes. It’s a simple life in a busy building. We are just here doing our job.
