Our location is at Door No. 151 on Kodambakkam High Road. If you know Chennai, you know how busy this road gets. There is a constant stream of buses and cars right outside our door. Inside, though, it’s a bit of a different world. We are surrounded by cardboard, colorful paper, and ribbons. Despite the name, we are here all year round, not just in December. We spend a lot of time measuring and cutting to make sure the boxes are the right size for whatever people want to put in them. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but we find a rhythm in it. The shelves are packed with samples of different textures and colors. It’s a small team, mostly just a few of us who have been doing this for years. We don't have a big marketing budget or a fancy storefront. Most of our space is taken up by the work tables and the stock. We try to keep things organized, but during the busy months, it gets a bit chaotic with paper scraps everywhere. We drink a lot of tea to keep going during the long shifts. It’s a simple business. We take the raw materials and turn them into something useful for people's celebrations. Being on High Road means we see a lot of life passing by while we work on our boxes. It gets hot inside when the fans aren't enough, but we keep the pace.
