Shanti Cloth Store

Down here in Sheoganj, things move at their own pace. Shanti Cloth Store is just a regular spot where we sell all kinds of fabric and cut pieces. I’ve spent more years here than I can count, sitting behind the wooden counter. The shelves are packed with rolls of cloth, some of them have been there for a bit too long, but they usually find a home eventually. It is a bit cramped inside when more than three people walk in at once. We don’t have any big signs or bright lights. Just the basic stuff. Customers come in looking for something for a suit or maybe just a bit of lining. We measure it out with the old steel meter rod that’s got some scratches on it. Sometimes the tea man from across the street brings a couple of glasses and we take a break. The ceiling fan makes a clicking sound, but it keeps the air moving during the hot afternoons. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t. It’s a simple cloth shop for the local folks. We know most of the people who walk through the door by their first names or at least their faces. Dealing with the suppliers can be a headache when the trucks are late, but we manage. If you need a bit of cloth, you just come in and we see what we can find for you in the stacks.
