Chanshyamdas Subhashchandra & Co.

If you walk down Jew Town, you’ll find us easily. It’s a very old part of town and the buildings all have that aged look. Our place is tucked in between some of the more colorful shops that the tourists like to visit. It’s a bit different for us though because we are just here to work and move our goods. The smell of ginger and pepper is always in the air here, it never really goes away. We have these heavy wooden doors that have been here longer than I have. Inside, it’s mostly bags stacked up and a few old desks where we sit to write the bills. The ceiling is high and it stays somewhat cool even when it’s humid outside. Sometimes the street gets so narrow that a small cart can barely pass through when people are standing around. We know most of the other shopkeepers around here, we’ve all been in this trade for a long time. It’s a slow pace but things get done. We don't bother with fancy displays or anything like that. People come in, they know what they want, and we sort it out for them. In the evenings, when the sun goes down, the whole street gets quiet and we lock up the shutters. It’s a simple life running a business in such an old area, and we like the routine of it. There is always something to be moved or counted, and that keeps us busy enough.
