T K Canteen

T K Canteen is over at Shop No 6 in Ujjain. We are right at the Dewas Gate Bus Stand, which means it stays pretty busy around here. The 456001 zip code is where we spend all our time. Being at a bus stand, we see a lot of people coming and going. Travelers are always in a hurry. Our shop isn't very big, but we make use of the space we have. There are some stools and a counter. We spend a lot of time cleaning up after the morning rush. The buses make a lot of noise and bring in some dust, so we are always wiping things down. It’s a basic canteen. We don’t have fancy menus or anything like that. We just serve what we have for the day. The location is practical for people catching a ride. We start early when the first buses arrive and stay open until things quiet down. It’s a lot of standing on our feet. We don’t have a management office or a marketing department. It’s just us behind the counter. We know the bus drivers and the people who work at the station. We talk about the weather or the bus schedules. Life at Dewas Gate is fast-paced, but we stay in our little corner at Shop 6. It’s a simple life running a canteen in Ujjain. We just keep the tea hot and the snacks ready.
