Omkar Bhaji Fruit Centre

Most mornings start pretty early for us at Omkar Bhaji Fruit Centre. We are located at Shop No 4 in Rahul Park, right near Science City Road on Sinhagad Road. By the time most people are waking up, we’ve already been to the market to pick out what looks good for the day. It’s a small shop, so things can get a bit cramped when the morning rush hits. We try to keep the crates organized, but sometimes the spinach ends up next to the apples when we're in a hurry. My wife handles the customers mostly, while I handle the lifting and the suppliers. We know most of the families living around here by name. It’s nice to see the same faces every day, even if they’re just stopping by for a bunch of coriander or some bananas. The traffic on Sinhagad Road can be a nightmare, so we try to make things quick for people stopping on their way home. We don't have any fancy displays or cooling systems, just the usual stalls and some fans to keep the air moving. It’s hard work, especially in the summer when the greens wilt so fast. But we enjoy being a part of the local routine. It's just a regular life, selling what we can and making sure people get something decent for their dinner. We just take it one day at a time.
