We are over in Malad West, specifically along Shimpoli Road. It’s a well-known road in this part of town. This is where we operate from. It is a busy stretch with lots of shops and houses mixed together. The atmosphere around here is always lively. You have kids going to school and people heading to work at all hours. Our space is just a regular spot on the road. We don't have a big neon sign or anything like that. People just know where we are. We spend the day dealing with whatever comes up. It’s a lot of face-to-face talk with the locals. Shimpoli Road has its own rhythm. Sometimes the monsoons flood the street a little, but we just put up the boards and keep going. It’s a very community-focused area. We’ve seen the neighborhood change over the years, with new buildings coming up where old houses used to be. But we stay right here. It’s a practical way to live and work. We have our regulars who stop by just to say hello even if they don't need anything. It makes the day go by faster. We keep things simple and don't worry about being too formal. It’s just how things are done in Malad. Some evenings we close up early if it's quiet, but usually, someone is around until late. We just take it one day at a time.
