Bel

We’re over at No: 20/1 in Rudrappa Garden. It’s part of the Viveknagar Post area in Bangalore. 560047 is our specific pin code. The street outside is a bit narrow, so if you’re bringing a big vehicle, it can be a real challenge to turn around. We have a small iron gate that we keep locked at night. Bel is just the name written on the door. Inside, it’s a bit cramped because we have a lot of stuff stored from over the years. We aren't very good at throwing things away if we think they might be useful later. We have some old wooden benches for visitors to sit on. They aren't the most comfortable things in the world, but they do the job. The lighting is a bit dim in the back room, so we use several desk lamps to see what we are doing. We've been in this same location for a number of years now. Most of the people living around here are our friends. We share a wall with a family, so we try not to be too loud during the day. We don't have a big marketing budget or a sales team. We just rely on people telling their neighbors and friends about us. It seems to work well enough for what we need. The flooring is old stone that stays cool. We have a small kettle for making tea. It’s a basic setup. We just do our daily work and go home when the sun goes down. Nothing more to it.
