Dhritishree

Dhritishree is located on Rupahi Ali Road. If you are familiar with the area, you know it’s a place where people are always walking back and forth to the market. Our building is nothing special to look at, just a regular place with a big wooden door that stays open most of the day. We don’t have a lot of fancy decorations inside. It’s mostly just functional space where we can get our work done without being in each other’s way. The morning usually starts with sweeping the front step and getting the lights turned on. We handle things as they come. There’s no big manual telling us how to act or what to say. We just try to be helpful when people walk in. Sometimes the rains make the road outside a bit difficult to cross, but people still manage to find their way to us. We have a few old chairs for guests to sit on while they wait. The walls are covered with some old calendars and a few notes we’ve stuck up over the months. It’s a bit cluttered, but we know where everything is. We don’t really use a lot of big words or try to act like we are bigger than we are. It’s just us, working on Rupahi Ali Road, trying to make a living like everyone else in the neighborhood. We close up at a decent hour to go home to our families. The end of the day is usually the quietest time.
