Fashion Garments

It’s usually pretty loud around here in Alipore. Most mornings, I get off the bus and walk down towards New Alipore, dodging the puddles if it’s been raining. Fashion Garments is right in the middle of all that bustle between there and Behala. We spend a lot of time just watching the traffic go by while we organize the hangers. The shop isn't huge, but it's ours. My cousin usually comes in around ten to help with the boxes that arrived the day before. We don't have a fancy sign or anything, just the one the landlord let us put up years ago. Sometimes the tea seller from the corner stops by to chat about the local cricket scores or how the roads are getting dug up again near Behala. It feels like this part of town never really sleeps, especially with the buses constantly rumbling past. We keep the doors open mostly to let a breeze in, even if it brings in some dust from the street. You get used to the sound of the horns after a while. Most people who come in are just neighbors from around Alipore or folks heading home toward the New Alipore side. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years, with new shops opening and closing, but we’re still here at the same spot. It’s just a regular day-to-day life for us, nothing too complicated or special, just keeping the shop running and making sure everything is in its place.
