Tharayil Traders

Tharayil Traders is located right near St Rithas School, at No.32/3046 in Ponnurunni. Being so close to a school means we hear the kids playing and the bells ringing all day. It’s a busy little spot in Vythila. Our shop is quite packed with all sorts of goods. We have boxes stacked up high and there isn't much room to walk around. It is a bit of a struggle to keep everything organized. The floor is just plain concrete and it gets dirty pretty quickly with people coming in and out. I usually sit on a wooden stool near the counter. We don't have any air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that wobbles a bit. Most of the people who come here are locals from the Ponnurunni area. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of their names. It’s a very straightforward business. We buy things, we store them, and we sell them. We don't have any polished marketing materials or a fancy logo. The sign outside is a bit faded from the sun. Sometimes the rain comes down hard and we have to move the boxes away from the door. It’s just the daily routine for us. We aren't trying to be a big corporation. We just want to get through the day's work and maybe have a little time for a snack in the afternoon. It is a decent way to spend the day.
