Chandra Covers

Out here in Garia, specifically Kantipota, things feel a bit different than the main city. Chandra Covers is located near the S P O Nayabad area. It’s a bit of a walk from the main bus stop, but the road is paved mostly. We spend a lot of time measuring things and cutting materials. The shop floor is usually covered in little scraps of fabric or plastic, depending on what we are working on that day. It gets dusty because of the construction nearby, so we have to wipe the tables down every couple of hours. The fan keeps the air moving, which helps when the humidity is high. We don't have a fancy reception desk or anything. People just walk in and we talk across the work table. Sometimes my neighbor brings over some snacks in the afternoon. We sit on the plastic stools and just talk about the neighborhood. It’s a quiet life for the most part. The power goes out once in a while and we just sit in the doorway until it comes back on. We’ve been at this address for a bit now, and the people around here know us. We aren't trying to be the biggest place in Sonarpur. We just want to finish the work we have and go home to our families. It’s a plain business, really. No big decorations, just the tools we need and the space to use them. It works for us.
