Chinthamakula Bhaskar

My name is Chinthamakula Bhaskar and this is where I run my business at 79-6-32, Cherlapalli Road. Being in Bandlaguda means we are part of a community that is changing quite fast. There are new buildings going up all over the place. My shop is a modest one and I don’t spend money on fancy signs or marketing stuff. I just keep the doors open and wait for people to come in. Most of the time I am by myself or with one other helper. We have a lot of heavy items to move and the space is quite tight. I have a small stool I sit on when there are no customers. Cherlapalli Road is usually packed with people in the evenings. I have been at this location for several years and most of the locals know my face by now. The paperwork is the part I like the least but it has to be done every night before I head home. I use a simple calculator and a blue pen for everything. Bandlaguda can be a noisy place but inside the shop, it feels a bit more contained. We have a routine that we follow every day. I open up, sweep the front, check the inventory, and then wait for the first delivery. It is a quiet life but it keeps me busy enough that the days go by quickly. I usually head home once the streetlights come on.
