Shiv Shakti Traders

Shiv Shakti Traders is just a regular shop here in Kalyani Nagar. We spend most of our time dealing with the inventory and making sure everything is where it should be on the shelves. The morning starts with opening up the heavy metal shutters which always make a bit too much noise for the neighbors at that hour. We usually start by sweeping the front step because the dust around here never seems to settle no matter how much we clean. It’s a busy part of town and there are always trucks or bikes passing by outside. Inside, we keep things simple with our stock piled up and a few chairs for when people stop by to talk about what they need for their own projects. We don't have any fancy decorations on the walls or anything like that. It is mostly just shelves and ledgers and the sound of the ceiling fan clicking on the medium setting. Most days are exactly the same, just keeping track of what comes in and what goes out. The light in Kalyani Nagar changes throughout the afternoon and by the time evening rolls around, the street gets even more crowded than it was in the morning. We handle our business one person at a time and try to keep things organized enough so we can find stuff when someone asks for it. Sometimes the delivery guys are late and we just sit and wait, maybe have some chai from the stall nearby. It’s not a complicated life here.
