Valerie

We have been here at Shree Mahaveer in Santacruz East for a good while now. Running Valerie keeps us pretty busy every single day. The shop takes up units 1, 2, and 3, which sounds like a lot of space, but it fills up fast when we are actually working. Most people who stop by are locals from around the neighborhood. It is a very straightforward setup. We open up in the morning, get things sorted, and handle whatever comes through the door. Sometimes the street gets really noisy, but that is just how it is in this part of town. We don't do anything fancy here. It is just us doing our job and trying to keep things organized. Usually, one of us is around if someone has a question or needs something specific. It took us some time to get the three shops joined up properly and working as one unit. Now that it is all settled, we just focus on the daily tasks. We see a lot of the same faces every week, which is nice. It makes the day go by a bit quicker when you know who you are talking to. Nothing is ever perfect, and sometimes we are running behind, but we get it done in the end. If you are walking past Shree Mahaveer, you will probably see us in there. We just try to be practical and keep the place going without too much fuss or worry about the small stuff.
