Techie Tailor

Our place is up on the third floor of the Shankari Building. It’s right on the Outerring Road in Marathalli, which means the traffic outside is almost always a bit much for everyone. If you see Kalamandir, you are basically right there. It’s a busy building with people coming and going all the time. Being on the third floor means we get a bit of a view of the road, but mostly we just see the tops of the buses and cars stuck in the jam. The office is a bit of a mix of things right now. We have sewing machines on one side and some computer setups on the other. It’s a bit cramped sometimes when we have a lot of fabric or new equipment lying around. We don’t really have a formal way of doing things, we just tackle whatever is most urgent at the moment. Most of us here wear jeans and just get on with the job. The elevator in the building can be a bit slow and clunky, so we often end up taking the stairs to save time. It’s a lot of work, especially when things get busy during the festival seasons and deadlines get close. We drink a lot of tea to stay awake during the long afternoons. It’s just a regular workspace where we try to get things right. Sometimes the noise from the road is really loud, but we’ve learned to ignore it over the years. It’s just how life is.
