Archana Pan Stall

If you are looking for Archana Pan Stall, we are right on Pimpri Madan Jhapa Road, specifically on Road No 3. We are also close to Dapodi Road, near Krushana Bazar and Ganesh Park in Pimple Gurav. It’s a small stall, just a basic structure really, where I spend most of my day. I’ve got all the jars of ingredients lined up on the shelf. Some of them are getting a bit old, but I keep the contents fresh. It’s a lot of standing and talking to people who stop their bikes for a quick pan. The road outside can get very dusty, so I’m always wiping down the counter with a damp cloth. I don’t have a big menu or anything. People just tell me what they like—maybe a bit more lime or a specific leaf—and I make it right there in front of them. My hands are usually stained from the betel nuts and spices, but that’s part of the job. It’s a noisy spot with all the traffic from the bazaar, but it’s good for business. I’ve known some of these customers for years; they stopped here when they were kids and now they bring their own children. We don’t have any fancy signs or lights. It’s just me and my small wooden counter. I open up early and stay until the last bus goes by. It’s just a simple life here on the corner.
