Eslavath Ramulu

I run my business from my home at H. No. 3-144 in Sarabanda Thanda, which is part of Thimmaipally. It’s a quiet area where everyone knows everyone else’s business. I handle various things here, mostly acting as a point of contact for local needs and small-scale trading. My house is usually open, and people just wander in when they have something to discuss or need some help with their own work. I don't have a storefront with big windows, just a room where I keep my books and whatever goods I’m handling at the time. Life in the Thanda is slow, and we follow the rhythm of the sun and the rains. I spend a lot of time outside talking to the farmers and seeing what they need for the coming season. Sometimes I have to travel to the bigger towns to get supplies or settle accounts, but I always prefer being back here. It’s a modest way to live, but I’ve been doing it this way for years and it suits me. I don't have any employees, so I do everything myself, from the heavy lifting to the paperwork. The house is old, and there’s always something that needs fixing, like a leaky roof or a squeaky door. I just take things as they come and try to be a reliable person for my neighbors in Sarabanda Thanda while managing my daily tasks.
