Bharathi Gopala Krishna

You can find us right across from the Motipura Bus Station on National Highway No. 8. Being on the highway means there is always noise and dust, but it also means there are people around at all hours. We’ve been operating from this spot for a good while. It’s a simple setup, nothing that’s going to win any design awards, but it works for us. Most of the people who drop by are just passing through or live in the nearby area. We see a lot of different faces every day because of the bus stop. It keeps things interesting. Usually, we open up early and stay until the sun goes down. The building is a bit old, and the paint is peeling in a few spots, but it holds up. We handle various tasks throughout the day, depending on what the local folks or the travelers need. It’s a small operation, just a few of us making sure everything runs smooth. We don't use any fancy systems, just our hands and some old-fashioned hard work. Sometimes the heat on the highway gets to be a bit much, but we have a fan and some shade. We aren't trying to be a huge corporation. We’re just happy to have a steady spot here by the road where we can earn a living and help out the people who stop in. It's an honest life and we like it. We hope to stay here for many more years to come.
