Akinepalli Pulaiah

The shop is located at 1/542 in Janampet. This is in the Addakal Mandal area. My name is Akinepalli Pulaiah, and this is where I spend most of my time. It’s a small place, nothing too big or complicated. People from the village come by when they need something. Sometimes we just sit and talk for a bit before getting to business. The walls are painted a simple color that has faded over the years. I’ve been in Janampet for a long time, so I know almost everyone who walks past the door. The morning starts with opening the shutters and sweeping the front. It’s a habit now. I don't use any fancy computers for everything. Most things are written down in registers. It feels more real that way. The heat can get pretty bad in the afternoons, so we keep the fans running high. You can hear the noise of the traffic from the main road, but it’s mostly peaceful here. I don't have a huge staff. Just a couple of people who help out when things get busy. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just provide what is needed and try to be fair with everyone. If you’re ever in Addakal Mandal, you’ll find us easily enough. It’s just a regular local business run by regular people. We do our work, close up at sunset, and start again the next day. This place is my life and I'm happy here.
