Contact Point

Contact Point is located over in Hadapsar, specifically at 73/74. It’s one of those spots that’s easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it, but the locals know where we are. We opened up here because the area was growing and it seemed like a good place to set up. The shop itself is pretty basic. We have a counter, some shelves with various bits and pieces, and usually a radio playing in the background. It gets quite warm in the afternoons, so we usually have the door wide open to catch whatever breeze comes off the street. We handle a lot of small tasks for people who live around Hadapsar. It might be some paperwork, a quick service, or just asking for directions. There’s no big corporate hierarchy here. It’s just a couple of us who show up every morning, unlock the shutters, and start the day. We spend a lot of time on our feet. The floor is a bit uneven in the back and the signage outside has faded a little over the years, but it’s where we work. We don’t use a lot of fancy technology unless we have to. Most things are done by hand or on the old desktop computer we’ve had for years. It’s a steady kind of life. We see the same faces every week and we like the rhythm of this neighborhood. It is not much, but it keeps us busy and the bills paid.
