Gurudutta Farsan House

You can find us in Chinchwad, specifically in Shop Number 26 of the Hari Om Society. We’re right near Kakde Park in the Chinchwad Gaon area, not far from Varthur Main Road and Marathahalli. It’s a busy little spot for us. Every day starts the same way, with the big frying pans going and the smell of gram flour filling up the air. We make all the usual things like sev, gathiya, and different kinds of mixtures for tea time. It’s not a polished store with fancy packaging or logos. We mostly sell things in plain plastic bags weighed out on the old scale we've used for years. My hands are usually covered in flour or oil by midday. The heat from the stove makes the shop very warm, especially in the summer months, but we’re used to it. Customers come in from the society and the nearby park, mostly looking for something to have with their evening tea. We’ve had the same stove and the same basic recipes for a long time now. Sometimes we run out of the popular snacks by five o'clock and people get a bit annoyed, but we only make what we can manage for the day. It’s a lot of heavy lifting with the big oil tins and sacks of flour. We just try to keep the farsan crunchy and the shop running smoothly without too much fuss. It’s just a regular family-run shop in the neighborhood.
