Nilu'S Products

Our place is called Nilu'S Products and we are located in Kamalpur, which is in the Manikchak area of Malda. I am Nilu, and I started this because there wasn't much work around here. We make a few different things depending on what people are asking for. Sometimes it is small household items, and other times it is just helping neighbors with supplies. The shop is right near my house, so I am always there. Even when we are closed, someone usually knocks on the door to ask for something. It is a bit tiring never having a real break, but that is how it is in a small village like Kamalpur. The room where we keep our products is small and has one window. In the winter it is nice, but during the summer it gets stuffy. I have a small desk where I keep my papers, but mostly I am on my feet. We don't have a big team, just me and a girl from down the street who helps with the packing. We don't do any advertising. People just know we are here by word of mouth. Sometimes the cows from the neighbors wander into the yard and we have to chase them out. It is just a normal, busy life in West Bengal. We try to be helpful and keep things simple without making a big fuss about anything we do.
