Life Styles

Life Styles is a shop we have in Kadappakada. It’s not a very big place. We have some clothes on the racks and some other things people might need. The street outside is usually busy with people walking by. We leave the door open so people can just walk in. It gets a bit dusty because of the traffic. We spend a lot of time dusting the shelves and folding the shirts. It’s a regular shop for regular people. We don’t have those bright lights that you see in the big malls. We just have a few tubes that flicker sometimes. We sit on a wooden bench when there are no customers. We talk about the news or what’s for dinner. Sometimes people come in just to chat for a few minutes. We know most of the people in Kadappakada. It’s a small community in that way. We don’t try to sell people things they don’t want. If they like something, they buy it. If not, that’s okay too. We close up around eight in the evening. Then we go home. It’s a simple routine. We’ve been here for a few years now. The shop is just a part of our daily life. We don’t have any big plans to change it. We like it just the way it is right now. It's just a small shop on a busy street.
