Sri Bhyraveshwara Trading Company

If you find yourself on Mill Street in Mahalingapuram, you'll see our place at 1/36. It’s right in the thick of things. There’s always a truck or a tractor idling nearby, so it’s never really quiet. We deal with various trading goods throughout the year. The inventory changes depending on the season. Sometimes the warehouse is packed to the ceiling, and other times it looks a bit empty. We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to drivers and wholesalers. It’s a lot of coordination. My brother handles the accounts while I look after the loading and unloading. We’ve got a small fan in the corner that barely does anything in the summer, but we manage. The floor is concrete and gets pretty cold in the winter months. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know to come to Mill Street if they need what we have. We keep a ledger for the regular customers who pay at the end of the month. It's built on trust mostly. Sometimes a shipment arrives late and we have to stay back late to get it sorted. That’s just how the trading business works. No two days are exactly the same, but the work is always there. We just keep our heads down and get through the list of tasks. It's been our way of life for years now and we don't expect it to change much.
