Agarwal Misthan Bhandar

We’ve been here in Sheoganj Halwai Bazar for a long time now. Most mornings start early, usually before the sun is even fully up, just to get the stoves going and the milk boiling. It’s a busy street and there is always noise from the other shops nearby. We mostly focus on the usual sweets people like to take home for their families. Sometimes the shop gets very crowded in the evenings when everyone is finishing work. We don’t have a big team, just a few of us working behind the counter and in the back. It’s hard work, especially when it gets hot in the summer, but we just keep going. People know where we are because of the smell of the syrup and the fried snacks. We don’t really do much advertising or anything like that. People just walk in because they are passing through the bazar anyway. We try to keep things simple and do what we know. The floor usually needs a lot of cleaning by midday because of all the feet coming in and out. It’s just a normal shop doing normal things every day. We aren't trying to be fancy or change how things are done. If you walk down the main lane in Halwai Bazar, you’ll see our sign. We keep our trays full and just hope for a good day of sales. It’s a basic life here at Agarwal Misthan Bhandar.
