Sursons

Sursons is situated right opposite Sursagar and near Pratap Talkies here in Vadodara. It is a really famous part of town because of the lake. I like looking out at the water when I have a spare minute. The area around Pratap Talkies is always full of people, especially in the evenings when the movie shows are about to start. Our shop is right in the middle of all that action. We have been here for a long time and have seen the city change quite a bit. Inside the shop, it is pretty traditional. We do not have a lot of modern decorations. It is just shelves and counters with our products. We get all kinds of people coming in, tourists walking by the lake and locals who have lived here as long as I have. The noise from the street is something you just get used to after a while. Sometimes I stand out front and talk to the other shop owners. We all know each other. Vadodara is a good place for a business like ours because people still appreciate a local shop. We do not do any big promotions. We just open the doors and wait for the day to begin. It is a simple way of living. When the sun sets over Sursagar, it is the best time of the day. We pack up slowly and head home, ready to do it again tomorrow.
