Senthil Kumar Stores

We are set up at No 64 on Elukadal Theru. It’s right opposite the Plastic Shopping Complex, so there are always people carrying big bags of goods walking past our door. Madurai City is always crowded, but this street feels especially tight during the middle of the day. We spend a lot of time just moving boxes from the back to the front. The building is old and the stairs are a bit narrow, so you have to watch your step. We’ve been here at this 625001 address for a long time now. I don't really remember a time when we weren't part of this neighborhood. The work is mostly just keeping track of what people want and making sure we have it. We don't use any fancy systems, just a pen and a notebook mostly. When the sun goes down, the street lights come on and the vibe changes, but we are usually still here finishing up. It gets pretty loud with all the honking from the main road, but you get used to it after a few years. We just try to stay honest and do our work without making a big fuss. It’s a decent way to spend the day, and we get to see everything that happens on Elukadal Theru. It’s just a store like any other, nothing more to say really.
