A. R. Exports

If you are looking for A. R. Exports, you have to find No. 426 on the ground floor of Kucha Brij Nath in Chandni Chowk. It is right in the middle of all the chaos and history of the old city. The lanes are narrow, so we are used to people and carts squeezing past our door all day long. It is a very old building, and you can feel the age in the walls and the way the floors are slightly uneven. We have been here for a while, and we know almost all the other shopkeepers on this stretch. Our work involves a lot of manual checking of the goods before they are packed into smaller boxes to be sent out. Space is tight, so we have to be very organized with how we stack things. It is always noisy outside with the shouting of vendors and the bells of the rickshaws, but inside we just focus on our ledgers and our stocks. We drink a lot of chai from the stall around the corner while we talk to suppliers. There is no corporate ladder here, just a few of us making sure the export orders are packed tightly and labeled correctly. It is a hard-working atmosphere, and by the time we lock up at night, we are usually pretty tired. But it is a good kind of tired because we know we handled everything we needed to.
