Baghyodaya Hair Style

I started this shop in Jijamata Shopping Center quite some time back. It is right at Shivaji Chowk here in Solapur, so it gets pretty crowded outside most of the day. People come in from all over the Pansharpur area too because we have been here for a while. We have the usual chairs set up for haircuts and shaving. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise but they keep the place cool enough when the sun is out. I spend most of my time here from early morning until the evening. The shopping center is a busy place with people always walking past the door to get their errands done. I know most of the guys who come in by their first names now, and we talk about the local news or whatever is happening in the market while I work. It is not a very fancy place, just a regular hair style shop where you can get your hair cut without too much fuss. Most days are busy, especially on weekends when everyone wants to look clean for the week ahead. I keep the scissors sharp and the combs in the blue liquid. Sometimes my cousin helps out when there is a big rush and the benches are full. We have a small radio that plays mostly old songs in the background. It feels good to be part of this community in Solapur. There is always something going on at the chowk.
