Srinivasa Tractor Spares

Srinivasa Tractor Spares is located out in Ahmadpur Tanda village. Our post office is Guthaali Kalan. It’s quite a drive from the main town, but the farmers around here need parts so we stay close to the fields. The shop is full of metal parts and oil cans. It smells like grease most of the time. I've got boxes stacked up to the ceiling. Finding a specific bolt can take a few minutes if I haven't put it back in the right drawer. The road out here gets muddy during the monsoon season. I usually sit on a wooden stool near the front. People come by on their tractors to see if I have what they need for a repair. We don't have a computer system, I just keep track of everything in a ledger. Sometimes the neighbors stop by to chat about the weather or the crops. It's quiet in the afternoons when everyone is out in the fields. I started this because there wasn't anywhere nearby to get parts. It’s a simple life out here in the village. The building is just a basic brick structure. I keep a fan running because it gets hot under the tin roof. Not much to look at, but it gets the job done for the local farmers. Sometimes the dogs from the village sleep near the doorway to stay out of the sun. It's a peaceful place to work.
