Maharudra Trading Company

Maharudra Trading Company is located right in the middle of Rampura Bazar, specifically in the Bartan Bazar section. If you’ve ever been here, you know how crowded and loud it gets with the sound of metal clanging and people haggling over prices. Our shop is full of stock, mostly piled up high toward the ceiling. We have to be careful when we move things so nothing falls over. It’s a traditional kind of place. We don’t have a computer system for everything; we still use notebooks to keep track of what comes in and what goes out. The air in the bazar is always thick with the smell of street food and old buildings. I’ve been working in this area for a long time, and I know most of the other shopkeepers around here. We help each other out when we need change or someone to watch the door for a minute. It’s a hard way to work sometimes because of the heat and the lack of space, but it’s what we know. Customers come from all over to find specific items in the Bartan Bazar. We spend a lot of time unpacking crates and arranging the shelves. It’s never really finished. There is always more work to do. By the time we lock up at night, I am usually pretty tired, but it’s a good kind of tired. The market is just part of our life and we like it here.
