Grand Sweets, Adyar, Chennai
Labels: None
From an article in The Hindu, which pretty much captures what I saw
It’s 12 noon, and the mid-day rush at Grand Sweets and Snacks has begun. Kids tagging along with their thatas and paatis, office-goers talking into their cell phones while they wait for pakodam to carry back to work, women shopping for podis and thokku for their households, NRIs in shorts and baseball caps, and a couple of vadhiyaars— a microcosm of Chennai humanity streams into the covered compound.
They begin to crowd the counters manned (or rather ‘woman-ed’; almost all the sales people are women) by 35 to 40 uniform-clad people. The founder of the store, G. Natrajan, chose to employ mostly women back in 1982, and that still remains the case. “He believed that women are more responsible, and devoted,” explains Mahesh, the current proprietor.
