Chandracharya Exide Battery

I have been at this spot in Tagore Garden for quite some time now. Dealing with batteries is heavy work, especially when it gets really hot outside and everyone’s car or inverter starts giving up. The shop is at D-E-151, right in the thick of things. Usually, I’m just here surrounded by stacks of black and grey boxes. It’s not a fancy place, mostly just me and a couple of helpers moving stuff around. When a customer comes in, they’re usually in a hurry because their car won’t start or their house is in the dark. I just look at what they brought, see if it can be charged or if they need a new one. Tagore Garden can get busy, but we’ve found our rhythm here over the years. Some days are slow, and I just sit on the stool near the door watching the traffic go by. My hands are usually a bit dirty from terminal grease, but that’s just how it is with this kind of job. I don't really do much advertising. People just know where we are. We keep the Exide stock piled up in the back. It’s a lot of lifting and shifting every morning when the truck comes. Sometimes the neighbors drop by just to chat for a minute. That’s the nice thing about being in one place for years. You know the faces.
