Tejavath Padma

I am Tejavath Padma and I run things from my home at H. No. 10 in Kotya Thanda. This is part of Thanamcherla, over in the Marripeda area of Mahabubabad district. It is a small village and everyone is pretty much connected to each other. I started doing this because there was a clear need for it here in the community. It’s not a big office with glass windows and air conditioning, just a regular house where I set up my work space. I have a desk and some extra chairs for when people come to visit or talk business. Most of the time, I am just busy with the daily tasks that need to be finished before the day ends. The road outside is unpaved and it can get a bit dusty when the wind picks up in the afternoon. I’ve lived in this Thanda my whole life. My family is nearby and they often help out when things get a bit too busy for me to handle alone. I don't really have a fancy business plan or anything like that. I just take it one day at a time and see what happens. People come to me because they know I’m here and they know my name and my family. It’s honest work and it keeps me going through the months. The house number 10 is easy to spot once you get into the village area. I try to stay organized but it's hard when there is so much to do. It’s just how it goes here.
