Sai Darshan

We've been here in Pimpri Waghire Village for a while now. Most people know the spot near Bhaini Bharinga in Raikot. It’s not a big fancy place, just a regular shop where we do our thing every day. The morning starts early, usually around six or seven, depending on who’s awake in the house. We open the shutters and sweep the front porch area. Sometimes it’s very dusty because of the road being unpaved, but that's just how it is around here. Sai Darshan isn't really a brand, just the name we put on the board above the door a long time ago. Most days it’s just me and maybe one other family member helping out. We see the same faces every afternoon. People walking home from their jobs or kids heading to the village center. We don't have a website or any social media pages. If someone needs us, they just walk in. The address is a bit long if you’re trying to write it down for a letter, but locals know exactly where the Raikot area turns off. We’ve got some wooden shelves that need fixing and the paint is peeling a bit near the corner where the rain hits, but it doesn't bother anyone who shops here. It’s usually very quiet in the heat of the afternoon. We just sit under the small fan and wait for the next person to come by. It’s a simple life. Not much changes, and we like it that way. Just a local spot doing what we do every day.
