Prabhu Travels

We run our small travel business out of Saraswathi Nagar in Mavala. It’s a modest place, mostly just a single room with some chairs and a desk for the paperwork. We’ve got a couple of cars and vans that we use for various trips. Most of our work involves taking people to the train station or helping families get to weddings in the next town. We know the roads around Mavala like the back of our hands. My cousin helps me with the phone calls and the bookings. We use a big notebook to keep track of who needs to go where and at what time. Sometimes the phone rings late at night for an early morning pickup, and we do our best to be there on time. The traffic can be a real mess in the mornings, but we try to leave early to avoid any trouble. The office isn't much to look at. We have some old calendars on the wall and a small TV that's usually playing the news. We offer a cup of tea to anyone who stops by to book a ride because that's just how we do things here. We aren't a big agency with hundreds of drivers. It's just a few of us trying to earn a decent living. We keep the vehicles as clean as we can despite the dust on the roads. We like hearing stories from the passengers while we drive.
