Parashiva Murthy P T

I am Parashiva Murthy and I run my business out of 26 Nagarbhavi. We are located inside Dalip Singh Market. If you know the market, you know it’s a tight squeeze with all the stalls and people walking around. My shop is one of the smaller ones, but we make good use of the space. I have been in Dalip Singh Market for many years now. I know most of the other shopkeepers, and we all look out for each other. It gets very noisy on the weekends when everyone comes to do their shopping. My day starts with a bit of dusting because the market gets quite dirty. I have a small stool I sit on near the entrance. Most of my day is spent talking to people who pass by. I don't use any fancy systems; I just keep everything in a ledger book. It’s worked for me so far, so I don’t see a reason to change it. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoons, and we just sit and wait for it to come back on. It gives us a chance to talk to the neighbors. I think people like coming here because they know I’ll give them a straight answer. It’s not a big corporate thing, just me in my little corner of Nagarbhavi. I usually lock up around seven and head home to my family. It's a long day, but I've grown fond of the chaos here.
