Baba Shyam Traders

Baba Shyam Traders is out here in Village Ranjitpur Chilbila, right in the Pratapgarh area. We are located very close to the Chilbila Railway Station, so you can hear the trains coming and going all through the day and night. Being in a village like this means life is a bit slower and everyone knows who we are. Our shop is just a basic building near the tracks. It’s not fancy at all. We have the stock piled up inside and a small space for us to sit and talk to whoever walks in. Sometimes the goats from the village wander near the door, and there is always some dust from the unpaved parts of the road. We open up early in the morning when the first trains start moving. The post office is also nearby, which is handy for us. In the summer, the heat in Pratapgarh can be really something, so we mostly stay in the shade of the roof. We don't use any big words or have a complicated way of doing things. We just trade our goods and keep our records in simple notebooks. If someone needs something, they come by and we see if we have it in the back. It’s been this way for a long time now. We don't have a website or anything like that, just this physical spot near the station where we show up every day to do our work and talk to the locals.
