Krishna Agencies

Khari Baoli is always crowded, and our spot at 523/2 is no different. It’s a tight squeeze in these old lanes. We have been handling things here at Krishna Agencies for a good while now. The air always smells like a mix of spices and dust from the sacks being moved around. Every morning, the laborers start unloading the trucks and it’s a bit of a mess until everything gets stacked up. It’s a lot of paperwork and counting boxes. We don't have much space to move around, so you have to watch your step. The tea man comes around twice a day, which is usually the highlight of the afternoon. People come in and out asking for prices or checking on their orders. It’s noisy and the fans don’t do much when it’s forty degrees outside. We just try to keep things organized so we don’t lose track of what’s going where. The walls have some old paint peeling off, and the furniture is pretty worn out. But it works for us. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t. It’s just a place of business in a very busy part of town. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to sit in the dark for a bit. We just talk until the lights come back on. It can be frustrating, but we’ve been here so long it feels normal. We just keep the books and keep moving as best we can.
