Badhai Delicious Sweets

Badhai Delicious Sweets is just a small place here in Kothrud 1. I’ve been working behind the counter for a while now and you get used to the rhythm of the neighborhood. The morning starts with unloading the crates and getting everything into the display cases before the first people show up. It’s mostly locals who live nearby and stop in on their way home. They come in for a bit of something sweet after their lunch or dinner. The shop isn't very big, so it can feel a bit cramped when more than three people are inside at once. I spend a lot of my time weighing things on the scale and tying up boxes with that thin plastic string. My apron usually ends up with some flour or sugar on it by noon. Kothrud is a busy area but this little corner stays pretty much the same day after day. Sometimes kids come in with a few coins and take a long time to choose what they want from the glass case. It’s fine, I don't mind waiting. We don't have a big team or anything, just a couple of us making sure things are where they should be. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit and makes a clicking sound when it’s on high. It’s just how the place is. We stay open until the street gets quiet and then we lock up and head home to our families.
