Sushma Lady Beauty Parlour

If you go towards Tagore Hill in Morabadi, you will find my little shop on Morabadi Road. Sushma Lady Beauty Parlour is a quiet place. I like being near the hill because the air feels a bit fresher than the center of Ranchi. I usually walk to the shop in the morning and open up the metal gate. Inside, it is just a simple room with my tools laid out on a wooden trolley. I have some old scissors that are still sharper than the new ones I bought last year. The chairs are covered in red plastic that gets a bit sticky in the humidity, so I put cotton sheets over them. It is more comfortable that way. I do not have a big sign outside, just a small one that my nephew painted for me. Most of the women from Morabadi know I am here. We do not do anything very complicated. It is mostly just haircuts, threading, and the occasional bridal makeup when there is a wedding in the family nearby. I keep a small stove in the back to make tea for myself and the customers if they have to wait. The walls are decorated with a few old calendars and a mirror that has a small chip in the corner. It is a peaceful way to earn a living. I enjoy the quiet afternoons when I can just sit by the door and watch people go by towards the hill.
