Sri Devi

Sri Devi is a small place located in the Meenachi Complex in Yeyyadi. It’s a fairly quiet part of town, which we like. The shop isn’t very big, so we have to be careful about how we stack things on the shelves. We spend our mornings opening up and getting everything ready for whoever might walk in. Usually, it’s people from the local neighborhood or workers from nearby. The Meenachi Complex has a few other businesses, so there is a bit of coming and going throughout the day. We don’t have a big team or anything like that. It is just a few of us handling the daily tasks. We sit at the main counter and wait for customers, or we spend time organizing the inventory in the back. The lighting inside could be better, but it does the job. Mangalore weather can be quite unpredictable, so we are always prepared for a sudden downpour hitting the roof. When it’s quiet, we just chat amongst ourselves or listen to the radio. There aren’t any fancy computers or high-tech systems here. We write things down in our books and keep a close eye on what we have in stock. It is a very normal, local business. We’ve been here for a while and the routine is the same every day. We close up at the usual time and head home, then do it all again tomorrow.
