Mahalaxmi Sweets

We are right on the Katraj Main Road which means there is always a lot of traffic and people moving around outside. It gets pretty loud with all the horns and buses going by. Inside the shop it’s a bit different though. We spend most of our time in the back prep area getting the milk boiling or the dough ready for the next batch. We make sweets because that’s what we know how to do best. Some days are slower than others but usually around festival times it gets really hectic in here. We have to bring in extra help then just to keep up with the boxes. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just see the shop while they are waiting for the bus or driving home. We keep the glass cases wiped down and the floors swept because the dust from the road is a real problem. It’s hard work and your hands get sticky pretty fast from the sugar. Most of our regulars have been coming here for years since they live just a few blocks away. We know what they want before they even say anything. It’s a nice way to spend the day even if it’s tiring for us. Being on Katraj Main Road means we see all sorts of people. We just try to have enough variety on the shelves so there is something for everyone who walks in to buy. It's just a local shop doing its thing every day.
