Mahendra Hair Cutting Salon

I started Mahendra Hair Cutting Salon here in Dighori because it’s where I live. The shop is on Umred Road, which stays packed with buses and trucks going in and out of Nagpur. Being near the Bus Stand means we get a lot of people who are just passing through and need a quick trim before they catch their next ride. It’s a small shop, nothing special to look at from the outside, but it gets the job done. The address is 440017, but everyone just knows this part of Umred Road. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go from that bus stand over the years. Sometimes it gets so busy I don't even have time to sit down. My scissors are probably the most used things I own. On rainy days, the water pools up a bit near the entrance, but we just put some cardboard down and keep going. Dighori is a hardworking area, and the people here don’t want anything fancy. They just want to look decent. I usually have the radio playing some old songs in the background. It helps pass the time when I’m alone between customers. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I don't see myself doing anything else. It’s a simple life near the bus stand, and as long as the buses keep running, I’ll probably be here cutting hair for the neighborhood.
