Bahrain

You can find us over on Sa Farooque Road in Kolkata. The address is R-93/A, right in the middle of a busy part of town. We’ve been operating under the name Bahrain for some time now. People often ask about the name, but it’s just what we’ve always been called. Kolkata is a city that never really stops, and our street is no different. There’s always noise from the traffic and people walking by. Our building is nothing fancy, just a practical space where we handle our daily business. We’ve got a small group of people working here, mostly locals from around the 700024 area. We do our own thing and don’t worry much about what the big companies are doing. Usually, the morning starts with opening up the shutters and checking what came in the mail. We spend a lot of the day talking to people who drop in. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. Some of the furniture is a bit old, and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it works for us. We focus on getting the tasks done and making sure everything is recorded properly. It’s a simple life, really. We’ve seen the shops around us change owners, but we’re still here at R-93/A, just doing what we do every day. It’s not glamorous, but it’s our living and it keeps us all going throughout the year.
