Nityanand Pan Deedi Shop

Nityanand Pan Deedi Shop is a little corner in Jogeshwari East. It’s not a place you’d find in a magazine or a fancy guide. We’ve got a small counter and some shelves that have seen better days. But people come here because they know what they’re getting. We spend a lot of time prepping the ingredients, cutting the nuts and washing the leaves properly. Jogeshwari can be a bit chaotic, but our shop is a familiar sight for the people living nearby. We don’t have a big staff or anything like that. It’s usually just us behind the counter, dealing with whoever walks up. We’ve got a little radio that plays in the background, mostly old songs we like. The street outside is always full of people, especially in the evenings when the air cools down. We like the routine of it. Opening up, setting everything out, and talking to the regulars about their day. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s our job. Sometimes the rain gets in a little if the wind is blowing the wrong way, and we have to shuffle things around to keep dry. We’ve been here for quite some time now, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. Despite all that, we just keep doing what we do every day. It’s a simple business for simple needs. Nothing more than that.
