Vaishnvi Buity Parlar

I have been running this small shop at Raghuji Nagar for a few years now. It’s right on the Sakkardara Main Road, so there’s always a lot of noise and bikes passing by. Usually, it gets really busy in the afternoons when the ladies from the nearby colonies finish their house work and come over for a quick eyebrow threading or some hair oiling. Chota Taj Bag is just a little distance away, and that’s a big landmark everyone knows. My parlor isn't anything fancy with big lights or expensive sofas. We have just the basic stuff that works. The mirror is a bit old, but it’s clear. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the heat, and we just sit outside on the stools for a bit and talk to the neighbors. Most of the people who come here are regulars who live just two streets away. They know me by name and I know their kids. We don’t do those very complicated treatments you see in big malls, just the normal things people need every month. It gets dusty because of the main road traffic, so I spend a lot of time cleaning the glass and the floor. It’s a simple life here. I open around 10 in the morning and stay until late evening if there are customers. It’s just how things go in Nagpur. You get used to the rhythm of the street and the regular faces coming through the door every week.
