New Moti Sweets

Malviya Nagar main market is a hectic place, and New Moti Sweets is right in the thick of it near C5. We have these big glass counters that we have to wipe down every hour because people are always leaning on them to see what’s inside. The trays of sweets are lined up in rows, and we try to keep them looking neat, though it's hard when it gets crowded. We get the milk delivered in big metal cans early every morning, and the sound of them hitting the pavement is our alarm clock. The shop has a high ceiling, but it still feels small because of all the shelves and the fridge units. We have a few staff members who have been here forever, and they know exactly where everything is without looking. Sometimes the ceiling fan squeaks, but it’s been doing that for years and we just ignore it now. Outside, the street is full of rickshaws and shoppers, and the noise never really stops until late at night. We spend a lot of time wrapping boxes in colorful paper and tying them with string. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but we like the routine of it. We keep the floor swept, but with so many feet coming in and out, there's always a bit of mud or dust. It’s just a regular market shop where we keep the lights bright and the counters full.
