Dashrath Pan

Safdarjung Enclave DDA Shoping Centre is where you can find Dashrath Pan. It is a typical local center with a lot of different small shops squeezed together. We have got our own little spot here. Pan is a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but people always seem to want it after they finish their meals. We stay open until quite late most nights because that is when people are out walking after dinner. Safdarjung Enclave is a bit quieter than some of the other parts of Delhi, but the shoping centre still gets its fair share of visitors. We do not have a big staff working here. Usually, it is just one or two of us standing behind the wooden counter. The counter is usually covered in green leaves and little plastic containers. It is a bit messy, but that is how a real pan shop is supposed to look. We do not try to make it look like some modern boutique. It is just a place to get your pan and go. The DDA buildings are all a bit similar to each other, sort of grey and sturdy and old. We have been here long enough that we know almost all the other shopkeepers around us. We talk about the daily weather or the local news while we work. It is a steady rhythm for us. We do not have any big goals for the future.
