Nerolac Paints

Over in Kakinada, we are set up at Santosh Nagar in Vakalapudi. The landmark most people use is the Big Saibaba Temple nearby. Our door number is 5-65/3. It is a busy area in Andhra Pradesh, and the heat can be something else during the summer. We spend a lot of time moving things around the shop floor. There are always cans sitting around and the smell of various materials in the air. We do not have a fancy reception desk or anything like that. Usually, you will find one of us sitting on a stool near the entrance. The floor has some stains on it from years of work, which we do not really mind. It shows we have been busy. We get a lot of people stopping by asking for directions because of the temple. The morning sun hits the front of the building quite hard, so we keep the shutters halfway down sometimes. We have a small back area where we keep the older stock and some extra tools. It is a simple operation. We deal with whatever comes through the door that day. The local kids play in the street outside, and the bells from the temple ring at certain times. It is a good place to be. We just keep our heads down and handle the daily tasks without much fuss. The paint business is steady, and there is always something to be moved or labeled.
