Nirmala Repaka

Living in Gurrampode is a bit different than the city life. My place is H. No. 2-152, and this is where I do my work. It is a quiet village and mandal in the district. Most people here know each other, so I do not need to do much to let people know where I am. Nirmala Repaka is just the name on the papers, but to everyone here, I am just a neighbor. My work day usually depends on the season and what the people in the village need at that time. Sometimes the porch is full of people talking, and other times it is just me finishing up the books. We deal with a lot of heat during the summer months, and everything slows down in the afternoons when the sun is at its highest. There is no corporate office here, just a regular house where business happens on the front veranda. I keep everything simple. If someone has a question or needs something, they just walk up to the gate and call out. The village has its own pace, and I try to stick to that. It is a humble way of doing things, but it works for us here. We do not have any big plans to expand or move; we just want to keep serving the local folks in Gurrampode like we always have. It is just a quiet, honest life with no fancy bells or whistles.
