We've been here on Waghodia Road for quite a while now. Most people know the spot since it’s right off Bellary Road, not too far from the Nalanda water tank. It’s a busy enough area, but we like the pace here. Some days are quieter than others, but that is just how it goes when you run a small place. We usually open up early and get things ready for whoever drops by. It is not a fancy setup or anything. There is a lot of dust from the road sometimes, but we try to keep the place tidy. Most of the folks who come in are from the neighborhood. We know many of them by name after all these years. It is nice to see familiar faces every morning. We don’t spend much time on big plans. We just focus on the work right in front of us. If someone needs something, we do what we can to help them out. Sometimes the phone rings too much, and other times it’s just us sitting here. It’s a simple life. We have our routines and we stick to them. It works for us. Living and working near the water tank means you always have a landmark to tell people. We just tell them to look for the tank and turn. Most of the time they find us without any trouble.
