Viraj Traders Buldana

Out here at Viraj Traders Buldana in Ambashi, things move a bit slower than in the big cities. Our place is near the post office, which is helpful for when we need to send out mail or documents. We are part of the Deulgaon Raja taluk in the Buldhana district. Most of the people who come by are locals from the nearby villages. We spend a lot of our time checking the inventory and making sure everything is where it should be. The building is just a basic structure with enough room for our stock. We don't have air conditioning, so we keep the doors open to catch whatever breeze comes through. Sometimes the dust from the road gets inside, but we just sweep it out every morning. It's a family-run kind of thing, so there’s usually a pot of tea going somewhere in the back. We don't have a website or any of those modern things. People just know we are here and they drop in when they need something. We keep a ledger for all the transactions, writing everything down by hand. It works for us. The district can get quite dry, so we try to get most of the heavy lifting done before the sun gets too high. It’s quiet in the evenings once the shops nearby start closing up. We just lock the shutters and head home like everyone else. It is a plain way of living and working.
