Kaling Traders

Kaling Traders is located at 108 Sarojini Street. That’s over in New Siddhapudur. It’s a narrow street, so it can get a bit tight when the delivery vans come through. We’ve been at this address for quite a long time. The building is just a regular house that we converted into a workspace. It feels very local. You can hear the neighbors cooking or their kids playing outside. We deal with various trading goods. Our storage is a bit messy. We try to keep things in order, but when a new shipment arrives, it just goes wherever there is space. We don't have any fancy marketing people. It’s just us answering the phone and writing down orders in a big ledger. I like the feel of the paper under my hand. Computers are okay, but the ledger feels more real. New Siddhapudur is a good area. It’s close to everything we need. Most of our customers are from the surrounding blocks. They just walk over or send a boy on a cycle. We don't do anything flashy. No big advertisements or colorful flyers. We just open the shutters in the morning and close them in the evening. It’s a steady life. Sometimes we sit on the steps and watch the rain. It’s peaceful when the street goes quiet for a few minutes. We just keep on doing what we’ve always done. There is always a lot of chatter between the staff about cricket or local news. It makes the workday pass by much faster.
