B. B. Modes

You can find us at A-39 in Pratap Nagar, right on the main Jaisalmer Road. Being on the main road is good because it’s easy for people to see us, but the noise from the trucks and the dust from the desert area can be a lot to deal with sometimes. We have to wipe down the tables and the racks every single morning before we can even start working on the clothes. The building itself is just a plain concrete structure. We have a big open area where we keep the modes and the different clothing items we are working on. There isn't any air conditioning, so we just keep the back door open to get a breeze through the place. Usually, it’s just two or three of us here during the day. We don't really have a boss watching over us, we just know what needs to be done and we get to it. Sometimes we have people stopping by who are just traveling through to Jaisalmer and they need directions or a place to rest for a minute. We help them out and then get back to our piles of fabric. The lights flicker a bit when the power gets shaky, but we have a small generator that we use when we really need to finish an order on time. It’s a basic setup and we don’t try to make it look like something it’s not. We just focus on the work. (253 words)
