Mili Enterprises

Being near the railway station in Tapodi means there is never a quiet moment. You can hear the trains pulling in and the whistles blowing all through the day. Our shop is right in the middle of all that movement. We open up early because that’s when the first wave of people starts moving through the station area. It’s a small place, and we have to be careful about how we stack things so we don't run out of room. The floor is usually a bit worn down from people walking in and out with their bags. We don’t have fancy displays or anything like that. We just have what we have, and it’s all laid out where you can see it. Sometimes the dust from the tracks gets inside, so we are always wiping down the counters with an old cloth. It’s a fast-paced environment. We don’t have time for long conversations or sitting around doing nothing. We just serve the people who come in and keep an eye on the clock for the next train. Working near a station like this in Tapodi gives you a different perspective on things. You see a lot of faces, most of them in a hurry. We just try to keep up with the pace and make sure we’re ready for whatever the day brings. It’s basic, hard work, but we are used to it now.
