Veer Hanuman Hair Dresses

Sardar Patel Nagar is where you’ll find us. We’ve been sitting on this street for a long time, watching the shops around us change while we stay mostly the same. The sign outside is a bit faded from the sun, but everyone knows where Veer Hanuman Hair Dresses is located. Inside, it smells like talcum powder and aftershave. We have these heavy old chairs that have seen a lot of use over the years. They aren't the newest models, but they are comfortable once you sit down. I usually start the day by pulling up the shutters and splashing some water on the pavement out front to keep the dust down. We don't have a website or any of that. If you want a haircut, you just walk in and wait your turn on the wooden bench. We talk about the cricket scores or the price of vegetables while we work. It’s a simple life, really. The neighborhood is busy, with bikes zooming past all the time. We get all sorts of people, from school kids to grandfathers. It’s nice to see the same faces every few weeks. We just keep our scissors sharp and the conversation easy. There’s no rush here, even when the bench is full. We just take it one head at a time. It's a living and it keeps us connected to the people around us in Sardar Patel Nagar.
