Shivanjali Mini Market

Shivanjali Mini Market is situated right on the Baner Bombay Pune Road. It's a busy stretch of road, as anyone who drives through here knows. We see a lot of cars and trucks passing by all day long, especially in the mornings. Being on the main road means there is always something happening right outside our door. We spend most of our time inside, but you can always hear the traffic hum. It's a bit noisy, but we've gotten used to it over the years we've been here. Our place isn't very large, which is why we call it a mini market. We try to fit everything we can into the space we have. It can get a bit cramped when we have a few people inside at once, but we make it work. We don't have a big fancy storefront or anything like that. Just the name Shivanjali Mini Market on the front so people know who we are. We open up early and stay late most days because that's what the job requires. It's just the way it goes when you run a place on a main road like the one between Bombay and Pune. People stop in when they're passing through or if they live nearby in Baner. We know many of the locals who come by and it's nice to chat. It is a regular life here. There is always a layer of dust from the road, but we just wipe it away. It’s what we do.
