Tarun Food Point

Running Tarun Food Point near the MCS school in Pathankot is definitely an experience. Most of our day is quiet until the school bell rings, and then suddenly the whole street is full of kids and parents. It’s a small place, really just a little corner where we set up every day. I’ve lived in Pathankot all my life, so being near the school feels right. We make snacks and quick things that people like to grab on their way home. My brother helps me with the cooking and we usually start prepping everything by nine in the morning. The location is 145001, right in that busy pocket of town. We don’t have a lot of space for people to sit down, so most folks just stand around or take their food to go. It’s a bit messy sometimes with all the wrappers, but we try our best to sweep up every hour. The weather here can be really hot in the summer, which makes the kitchen even hotter, but we’re used to it. We don’t do anything complicated here. Just simple food for the neighborhood. Sometimes the teachers come by for a tea break and we have a quick chat about how the school is doing. It’s a nice little spot and we’re happy to be part of the daily routine for the local families. We hope to keep doing this for a long time yet.
