Al Bashir Exports & Imports Co.

We’ve been running Al Bashir Exports & Imports Co. from this spot at No. 34 Main Road for a good while now. Dharmapuramt Nagar is usually pretty loud with all the traffic passing by our front door, but you get used to it after a few years. It’s mostly just a few of us here making sure things get where they need to go. We deal with a lot of paperwork and phone calls throughout the day. Some mornings are slow and we just sit there drinking tea and waiting for the deliveries to show up, but then by noon, everything happens at once. The office isn't anything fancy to look at. There are boxes stacked up in the corners and the desks are always a bit messy with notes and old ledgers. We do both exports and imports, so there's always something coming in while something else is being packed up to leave. It gets dusty in the summer when the wind blows down the main road, but we just keep the fans going and keep working. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait a bit, but that's just how things are around here. We know the neighbors pretty well and the tea stall guy usually brings our orders right to the desk. It’s a simple life really. We just focus on getting the crates moved and making sure the labels are right so nothing gets lost. It’s hard work but it keeps us busy.
