Manideep

It’s been a while since we set up here on Market Street. People know the address 33-2-136/3 pretty well by now. The street gets busy in the mornings, especially when the shops start opening up. We spend most of our time just managing what comes through the door. Manideep isn't some big fancy place, just a regular spot where we do our work every day. I remember when we first moved in, the walls needed a lot of paint and the floor was uneven. We fixed it up slowly. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to talk for a minute or two. That’s how it is in this part of town. You get to know faces and names. We don’t have any big speeches to give about what we do. It is just about being here and making sure the day goes smoothly. The sun hits the front of the shop pretty hard in the afternoons, so we usually keep the shade down then. It's a simple life. We deal with the usual stuff that happens on a busy street. Sometimes there is noise from the traffic, but you get used to it after a week. We keep our space clean, or at least we try to when it’s not too hectic. There are always boxes to move or things to sort through. That is basically our day from start to finish. We are just glad to be part of the neighborhood for so long and keep the shop running like this.
