Reliable Enterprises

Akurdi 27A is where we spend most of our time these days. Reliable Enterprises isn’t anything too special to look at from the sidewalk. It’s just a basic shop with a metal shutter that gets stuck half the time when we try to open it in the morning. Usually, we get here around ten after the traffic on the main road settles down a bit. The air around here is always a little dusty because of the construction going on two blocks over. Inside, we have a couple of desks that don’t quite match. One is an old wooden thing and the other is metal. The walls used to be a light blue but they have faded into a sort of greyish color over the years. We have a small fan in the corner that wobbles when it is on the highest setting. It makes a clicking sound that we’ve just gotten used to. There’s a calendar on the wall from last year that nobody bothered to take down because we like the picture of the mountains. We mostly deal with people from the neighborhood. Some of them come in just to say hello or ask about the weather while they wait for their tea from the stall next door. The tea guy makes it really sweet. We don’t have fancy chairs or a big sign with lights. It’s just us here at 27A doing what we do every day.
