Sree Thangamman Creations

Our place is down at Serankattu Thottam, right off Dharapuram Road. If you know the Vats Vidhyalaya school, we are just near there. Sree Thangamman Creations is basically just a few rooms filled with machines and fabric rolls. Tirupur is always fast-paced, and we are right in the middle of that rush. It gets pretty dusty on this road, but we manage. We’ve been here at number 10/2 for quite some time now. The staff comes in at eight, and the hum of the motors starts right away. We don't have a big fancy office. Most of the space is taken up by the big cutting tables. Sometimes the neighbors come by for a chat while we are packing boxes for delivery. We handle a lot of cotton. It gets stuck to everything, your clothes, the floor, even the tea cups. My cousin manages the accounts in a small notebook because the computer is old and slow. We don't mind. The work gets done. There’s a small tea shop nearby where we go when we need a break from the noise. It’s just how things are here. We aren't trying to be the biggest, just trying to keep the machines running and the orders moving out to the trucks. The sun hits the front door around noon, making it really bright. We just pull the shutter halfway down and keep on sewing. It’s a simple life for us here in Serankattu Thottam.
