Phool Chand Pan Shop

Our shop, Phool Chand Pan Shop, is tucked away on the 5th Cross in Viman Nagar. It’s a bit quieter here than on the main roads, which I personally like. We don't get the huge crowds, but we have very loyal customers who live in the apartments nearby. I open up the shop around ten and start by checking our supplies. Everything we use has to be fresh, so I spend time sorting through what we have. The 5th Cross is a nice street with a few trees, so it doesn't get as hot as other parts of the city. We have a small glass display where we keep everything visible. It’s just me and one other guy working here most of the time. We don't have any loud music or big TVs. It’s just a place where people can stop for a minute on their way home. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the entrance, which is annoying, but we deal with it. We’ve been here for a couple of years now and have become a small part of the neighborhood. People often leave their keys or messages with us because they trust us. We don't try to be the biggest or the best shop around. We just want to do our job properly and keep the place running smoothly. It’s a steady pace of work and we are quite content with how things are going. Sometimes we chat with the delivery boys about their day. It’s small talk, but it makes the time pass faster on the 5th Cross. We don't have a computer or anything, we just keep track of things in a notebook. It works for us.
