Down here in Mangalpur, things move a little slower than they do in the middle of Cuttack. We are out in the Charirakaba post area, and it’s a quiet spot most of the time. The building is just a standard place where we keep our stuff and do the daily chores. We’ve been here for a good while, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change a bit, but we stay the same for the most part. There isn't much flash to what we do. It’s just daily labor and making sure the records are kept straight. We get some visitors every now and then who are looking for work or wanting to see what we have in stock. We talk to them, show them around if they need it, and that’s about it. The weather can be a real pain during the monsoon season, but we manage to keep the roof from leaking too much. We aren't some big corporation with a hundred people in suits. It’s just a handful of us who live nearby and show up every day to earn a living. We know the people in the village, and they know us. That makes life a bit easier when you need a hand with something. We don't have a fancy website or a lot of posters on the walls. We just do our business and try to keep things running. That’s enough for us, honestly.
