Agarwal Agency

It's noisy here with the trucks passing by Agarwal Agency all day long. We are right on the Kekri Kota Road, and the traffic never really stops. We open up early in the morning when the sun isn't too hot yet. There's usually a lot of dust that comes in from the road. Most days it’s just us moving boxes around and checking the lists for the next delivery. Sometimes the tea man comes twice if it's a particularly busy afternoon. People often stop by on their way to Kota just to check on things. It’s not a fancy place at all. It is mostly just a lot of shelves and some old fans that make a lot of noise. We've been at this location for years, so we know most of the drivers who pass through. My father started this back when the road was much narrower than it is today. Now it’s paved and very busy. We keep our doors open so we can see who’s pulling into the gravel out front. Sometimes we run out of space inside and have to stack things outside under a heavy tarp. The lights flicker a bit if there’s a summer storm. It’s just how it is. We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to our suppliers. Sometimes the signal is bad and we have to step outside to talk. We just keep doing what we do every day. It's regular work.
