Mukwas Pan

Down at Wanowarie Old Sanghavi, specifically Ganpati Chowk, Shitole Nagar 20, you’ll find Mukwas Pan. It’s a bit of a mouthful to say the whole address, but that is where we are. This area around Shitole Nagar has changed quite a bit over the years. We’ve seen buildings go up and neighbors move away. Through it all, Mukwas Pan has stayed right here at number 20. It’s a humble spot. We don't have fancy lights or big displays. Mostly, it’s just a counter and some shelves. People stop by after their meals or when they are out for a walk around Ganpati Chowk. We get to see a lot of families. Sometimes kids come in with a few coins. It makes the day go by faster when there are people to talk to. The shop isn't very large, so if three people come in at once, it feels crowded. We don’t really mind the squeeze. It feels like a real part of the community here in Wanowarie. We do our best to keep things simple. No need for complicated stuff. We just want to make sure when someone walks in, they find what they’re looking for. It’s hard work sometimes, staying on your feet all day, but it’s what we do. We like the rhythm of it. If you’re ever near Ganpati Chowk, you’ll see us there. Just look for the number twenty on the door.
