You can find us over at the Twin Tower building, right on the south side of Gandhi Maidan here in Patna. It’s a pretty central spot, so there’s always something going on outside our windows. Gandhi Maidan is so huge that there are always people exercising, walking, or just hanging out, and a lot of them end up coming toward our side of the street eventually. We’re in unit G-9, which is easy enough to find if you’re looking for the tower. The building itself is quite busy with different offices and shops, so there’s a constant flow of people coming in and out. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not; we just keep the place running as best as we can every day. Most of our time goes into the basic stuff like checking supplies and chatting with the people who stop by. Patna can get really busy and dusty, especially around the Maidan, so we try to keep our little corner clean and quiet. It’s a family-run kind of feel here, even if we aren't all related by blood. We’ve been at this for a while and we know the 800001 area pretty well by now. It’s a lot of long hours, but seeing people come back because they like the atmosphere makes it okay. We’re just a local business trying to make things work in a busy part of town, doing things our own way without much fuss or bother. It is a long day every day but we like it.
