Kaka Halwai Sweet Centre

Down in Sadashiv Peth, right at Chakala 2039, that’s where we stay. This part of the city is always moving. You can hear the scooters and the shouting from the market nearby all day long. Our shop is pretty small, but we pack a lot into it. There are trays of sweets everywhere you look. We spend most of our mornings getting everything ready before the crowd starts coming in. It’s a lot of work with the sugar and the flour, and our hands are usually dusty by noon. The building is old, like most things around here. The floors are a bit worn down from all the feet walking over them for so many years. We don't have a lot of room for people to sit, so they usually just grab what they want and head back out to the street. It’s a simple way of doing things. We don’t bother with much advertising because everyone in the Peth knows where we are. Sometimes we run out of things earlier than expected, and we just have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s honest work. The lights inside are a bit dim, but they work well enough for us to see what we are doing. We just focus on the food and the customers who have been coming to us since they were kids. It is just a normal day-to-day business for us here at number 2039.
