Prem Sweets

Prem Sweets is a small shop located in Kalkaji Block J. We have been here for a good while, and most of the people who live in Block J stop by at some point. The shop always has a certain smell to it, a mix of sugar and fried dough. We start the work very early, long before most people are awake, to get the first batch of sweets ready. The kitchen area is in the back, and it gets really hot back there with the large vats of syrup and the stoves going. In the front, we have the glass displays where we put out the different kinds of barfi and laddus. We spend a lot of time cleaning the counters and making sure the trays are full. It is a busy place, especially in the evenings when everyone is coming home. We have a few regular customers who come in every single day for the same thing. Sometimes we run out of certain items early, and then we have to tell people to wait for the next day. It’s a simple neighborhood spot. We don't do any big advertising; people just know we are here in Block J. During festivals, the whole place gets chaotic and we are working non-stop to keep up with the demand. It’s a lot of hard work and late nights, but it is what we do here at our little place in Kalkaji. We just keep the trays full.
