Nathu Sweets & Pastry Shop

Nathu Sweets & Pastry Shop is right in the middle of Sunder Nagar Market 2. It’s a busy place, especially around the holidays when everyone wants something sweet to take home. We have the glass cases filled with all sorts of things, from the traditional milk sweets to the newer pastries. The smell of sugar and fried dough usually hangs in the air. We spend a lot of time in the back getting the batches ready. Some days it’s chaotic with the delivery boxes piling up. We try to keep the floors swept, but with so many feet coming in and out, it's a bit of a struggle. People sit at the few tables we have, mostly families or people taking a break from shopping. The tea is always brewing. We don’t have fancy uniforms, just our regular clothes and aprons. The pastry side is a bit different, with the cakes and cream buns. It’s a mix of old and new. Sunder Nagar is a nice area, and we’ve seen kids grow up and start bringing their own children here. It’s not a quiet job, there’s always someone asking for a price or wanting a sample. We just keep the trays full and the fridge running. It’s what we do every day. The counters get sticky and the doorbell rings all the time, but we just keep serving.
