Laxmi Iron Traders

Our shop is located at 20-145 on Potti Sriramulu Street. It’s an iron business. We have piles of metal in the back and near the front. The street gets quite dusty in the afternoons. We deal with iron every day. It’s hard on the hands and gets everything dirty. The neighborhood knows where we are. We weigh things on the scale and move things around. Sometimes the sun is too hot for work, so we slow down. We keep the shop open fairly early. Potti Sriramulu Street has its own rhythm with people passing by. We don't have fancy signs. Just Laxmi Iron Traders written on the front board. We handle various iron pieces. Customers come in looking for specific sizes. We check the back to see what we have. It’s manual work mostly. The ledger stays on the old wooden desk. We don't use a lot of technology, just what's needed. Sometimes the rain makes things difficult with the rust, so we have to cover everything. People stop by to chat. It’s a local way of doing things. We’ve been at this address for a while now. The iron trade isn't glamorous, but it keeps the business going. We load up the carts when people buy. We unload the trucks that bring us stock. It’s the same thing every week. The 20-145 spot is easy to find. We just get the work done. That’s how it is on the street.
