Mandal Masale

We have been at Ward No.3 for quite a while now. Mandal Masale is just off the Kichha Bye Paas Road. If you are coming from the main part of town, you just look for Sanajy Nagar. Most people find us because we are right near Sai Mandir. You can hear the temple bells sometimes when it’s quiet in the morning. The shop isn't huge, but it stays busy. We deal with spices every day. It gets a bit dusty with all the grinding, but that is just how it is. Sometimes the traffic on the bypass road gets backed up, especially in the evenings. We see a lot of people passing through on their way elsewhere. It’s a convenient spot because everyone knows the temple. We don't do anything fancy here. Just the usual work of sorting and packing. My family helps out when things get hectic. The weather gets really hot in the summer, which makes the smell of the stuff we grind even stronger. Some days the humidity makes the bags heavy. We try to keep things organized but it’s a working space, not a showroom. If you walk down from the Sai Mandir side, you will see our sign. It’s a bit faded from the sun. We’ve seen the neighborhood change over the years. More houses have come up in Sanajy Nagar lately. Still, the bypass road stays the same, just busier than it used to be. We just keep doing our work here.
