Jyoti Apparels

We are over in Indirapuram. The shop is full of racks and stacks of different clothes. It’s mostly Jyoti running things, making sure everything is where it should be. It gets pretty crowded in here on the weekends when people are out walking around the neighborhood. We spend a lot of time just folding stuff and putting it back on the shelves after people try things on. There’s a small mirror in the corner that everyone uses. The lighting isn't the best, but it's okay for seeing the colors. We’ve been here for a few years now, and the neighbors all know us. Sometimes someone just stops by to chat while they're on their way to the market. We deal with different suppliers, so the stock changes quite a bit. One day it’s all bright cottons, the next it’s something else. The sewing machine in the back gets used for quick fixes if a button is loose or a hem is wrong. It makes a steady humming sound that fills the room when it's quiet. We don't have a big website or anything, just this physical space in Indirapuram. People find us because they live nearby or their cousins told them to come check out what we have. It’s a simple way to make a living. We open up early, sweep the floor, and wait for the first customer of the day to walk through the door. The door bell rings every time someone enters, which keeps us alert through the afternoon.
