Balaji Creations

You can find Balaji Creations on the 2nd floor of No.18 Amartala Street. Being near the Burra Bazar Police Station makes it easy to give directions, which is good because these streets are very crowded. It is always loud outside with all the carts and people moving about. Up here on the second floor, it is a bit calmer but still busy. We have been doing this for a long time now. We deal with various items, mostly things people need for their shops or homes. The space is filled with rolls of material and finished goods waiting to go out. We don't have a lot of help, so we do most of the packing and lifting ourselves. Sometimes the dust from the street gets in, so we are always cleaning the shelves. It’s a lot of manual work, checking every piece before it goes into a bag. We know most of the other shop owners on this floor. We usually have lunch together in the small back room. The light isn't great in some corners, but we know where everything is kept. It is a simple setup without any decorations. We just focus on the orders we have for the day. If you come by, you might see us sorting through piles of stock or arguing with a transporter about a late pickup. That is just how life is here in the heart of the market, with all its noise and constant movement and the smell of spices from the shops below.
