Kiran Reddy

You can find me over at Door No. 22-14-70 in Venkataramana Colony. My name is Kiran Reddy and I’ve been running things from this spot on MG Road for a good while now. It’s a noisy street, to be honest. The horns never seem to stop and there is always someone in a hurry. I usually sit near the front so I can see who is coming. My desk is a bit of a mess with papers and old receipts, but I know where everything is. People stop by to talk about their building plans or just to complain about the heat. I don't have a big team of people working for me. It’s mostly just me and a couple of guys who help with the lifting when things get heavy. We don’t use any big words or try to act like we are some huge corporation. I am just a local guy trying to make a living like everyone else in the colony. Sometimes I go out to get tea for everyone and we take a ten-minute break. MG Road has changed a lot since I started, but this little corner stays pretty much the same. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, I suppose, but I never seem to get around to it. Most days I’m just happy to get through the list of things I need to do. When I lock the door at night, I’m already thinking about what the traffic will be like tomorrow morning.
