Sanjeev Kumar Bayikadi

My name is Sanjeev Kumar Bayikadi and I run things here in Peddanandigam village. We are out in the Kodangal Mandal, which is a place where everyone knows everyone else’s name. Working in a small village like this is different than being in the big city. You don’t have to worry about traffic jams, but you do have to worry about the rain and the power going out every now and then. I started this business at house number 2-102 because it was a good spot for people to find me when they are coming into the village. I handle a lot of different tasks, mostly whatever the local people need help with on a daily basis. My day usually starts early before the heat gets too bad, and I spend a lot of time on my feet. There isn't any fancy marketing here, just me talking to people on the porch or at the market. I keep my own books and handle my own chores. Sometimes it’s a bit quiet, but that gives me time to get organized for the next day. It’s a simple life, and I don't really need much more than that. I like knowing that I’m providing something useful for my neighbors and being part of the community here in the district. It’s honest work and it keeps me busy from sunrise until the stars come out at night.
