Vikas Patil Co.

My name's Vikas and I've been running things here at Ga-35 in Lakecity Mall for a while now. It’s right by Kapurbawadi, pretty close to the main market area which stays busy most of the day. Honestly, getting here in the morning is a bit of a trek sometimes with the traffic around the market, but once the shutters are up, it’s not too bad. The shop isn't huge, but it fits what we need. We spend a lot of our time just organizing the shelves or talking to people who wander in after doing their regular shopping nearby. Sometimes it gets loud outside because of the mall crowds, especially on weekends. I usually have a tea around four o'clock from the stall just down the way. It’s a simple setup. We don't have fancy decorations or anything. Just some sturdy tables and the stuff we work with every day. Most of the people around here know us by now. We’ve seen the mall change quite a bit over the years, new shops coming and going, but we’re still tucked away in our little corner. It’s a job, you know? It keeps us busy and pays the bills. My brother helps out sometimes when things get a bit hectic, but mostly it's just me and a couple of others. We try to keep the place tidy, though it gets cluttered when deliveries arrive. That's just how it goes in a small space like this. It's nothing fancy, just our daily workplace.
