Rajalakshmi Enterprises

We’ve been at M. G. Plaza for quite a while now. If you head down U.M. Lane near Chickpet Cross, you’ll find us right across from the Khaleel Buildings at No. 5. Most people just look for the B. B. Bakery because the smell of fresh bread usually leads them right to this corner of the block. It’s a busy spot, especially in the mornings when the delivery trucks are trying to squeeze through the narrow lane. Inside our place, things are a bit cramped because we keep a lot of stock piled up. It isn't a fancy showroom with glass cases or anything like that. We mostly just focus on getting orders sorted for the people who stop by. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, so we just prop the door open and keep working by the natural light. My cousin helps out with the ledger, and we usually have tea sent over from the stall downstairs around four o'clock. People come to us because they know we're easy to talk to and we don't try to sell them stuff they don't actually need. Dealing with the traffic around here is the hardest part of the day, but we've gotten used to the noise. It’s just how things go in this part of town. We stay open until the shutters on the other shops start coming down. If you're looking for us, just ask anyone near the bakery.
