Bhadra Exports

Start by talking about Parekh Market. It’s a busy spot. We spend most of our time here at number 8. It’s not a huge place, just enough room for the desks and some stock. My cousin and I usually open up around ten. The morning tea guy comes around then too and he always has a joke ready, which is nice. We do exports, mostly handling the paperwork and making sure the boxes go out on the right trucks. It gets loud outside when the deliveries arrive. Sometimes the rain leaks a bit near the back door, but we put a bucket there. We’ve been here for quite a few years now. People know us by name. It’s a lot of sitting and typing, then a lot of running around. We don’t have a fancy lobby or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably see me on the phone or checking a list. There’s always something to do, like checking the inventory or arguing with the courier guys about the rates. It’s just how things go. We keep the fans running all day because it gets stuffy. Usually, we head home late when the market starts to quiet down. We mostly stick to ourselves and try to keep the desk tidy, though that never lasts long. It’s a simple way to make a living, really. Nothing too complicated, just getting the work done one day at a time.
