Glutinous Rice

Our place, Glutinous Rice, is located at Plot No.21/1 on Brahmin Street in Murugapakkam. Velachery is always full of traffic, so getting around here can be a bit of a challenge most days. Our shop isn't much to look at from the street, just a regular doorway leading into a storage area. We mostly handle glutinous rice, which is different and stickier than what people usually buy for their daily meals. The bags are quite heavy and take up most of the space in the back room. It gets a bit cramped when we have a new shipment arrive. We try to keep things organized, but rice dust seems to find its way onto every surface eventually. My brother helps me out most days with the heavy lifting and the inventory. We don't have a large sign outside, only a small one so people can find us. During the afternoons, it gets quiet before the evening rush begins. We usually sit and drink tea while we wait for the next customer. The street is narrow, and if a delivery truck stops, it blocks everything for a few minutes, which makes the neighbors a bit grumpy. We move as fast as we can to get the bags moved. We don't do any marketing or fancy ads. People come to us because they know we have what they need. It’s a straightforward way to make a living, and we just stay here and do the work day after day.
