Ramesh Departmental Store

Ramesh Departmental Store is over at 77, Perungalathur. It’s a straightforward shop where we keep a bit of everything. We open up early because people in Perungalathur usually need things before they head out for the day. The shelves are packed with all sorts of items, and we try to keep them organized, though it’s a constant battle. Things get moved around a lot during the day. We spend time checking the dates on the packages and dusting the jars. It’s a lot of standing around and waiting for people to come in, mixed with short bursts of being really busy. We have a small counter where we handle the cash. The light inside is a bit dim in the back corners, but we know exactly where everything is. Sometimes a lightbulb flickers and we have to go find the ladder to fix it. It’s just us running the place, so if we aren't here, the door stays shut. We don't have a big staff or anything like that. It’s just a local spot at number 77 where you can get what you need without a fuss. We see the same faces most days, and that makes the time go by a bit faster. When evening comes, we do one last sweep of the floor and lock up. It’s a quiet life, but it keeps us occupied.
