Gajanan Pan Center

You can find Gajanan Pan Center over in Talawade Kherwadi. It is a straightforward kind of place. We don't have a lot of room, just enough for the counter and the shelves behind it. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. We've got all the jars lined up with different mixtures and bits. Sometimes the labels are peeling off. It gets pretty busy when the shifts change at the nearby factories. A lot of workers stop by for a minute. The air is often a bit heavy with the smell of tobacco and sweet lime. We keep a small stool in the corner for when the legs get tired, but usually, we are on our feet. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit and makes a clicking sound, but it keeps the air moving. We aren't trying to impress anyone with how the place looks. It is just a functional shop for the people around Talawade Kherwadi. We buy our supplies from the local market and try to keep things simple. If it's a hot day, we stay in the shade of the awning. We've been here for a while and the routine is the same every day. We open up, set out the trays, and wait for the first person to show up. It’s just a regular pan shop doing regular business. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles here, just the basics for the guys.
