Shome Enterprises

If you go down Teli Para Lane in Sovabazar, you’ll find Shome Enterprises tucked away in a spot that’s easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. 1A is where we’ve set up shop. It’s one of those narrow lanes where everyone knows everyone else’s business. We mostly deal with small parts and bits of hardware that people need for their shops or homes. The space is a bit small, so we have to stack things all the way up to the ceiling. Sometimes it feels like the boxes might fall over if someone sneezes too hard. It’s just how things are in this part of town. We’ve been here long enough that the door has a specific squeak that we never bothered to fix. Most days are spent checking inventory or talking to the delivery guys who struggle to bring their vans down the lane. It’s a lot of manual work, moving things around and making sure the numbers match up. We don’t have a big sign or anything flashy. People around Sovabazar just know we are here. Sometimes the neighbors stop by just to chat for a minute while we’re in the middle of something. It’s a tight-knit area. We don’t really have a fancy philosophy about what we do. We just come in, open the shutters, and see what the day brings us.
