Amrit Selection

Amrit Selection is located at Sayedpura 25. It’s a place where we keep a lot of different fabrics and ready-made pieces. The shop is filled with colors from the floor to the ceiling, mostly because we have so many rolls of cloth stacked up on the shelves. It’s not a very wide shop, so you have to be careful not to knock anything over when you’re walking through. I spend a lot of my time folding things back up after someone has looked at them. People come in from all over Sayedpura looking for something specific, maybe for a wedding or just for daily wear. We have a few big mirrors and some benches where people can sit and think about what they want to buy. The light inside is a bit yellow, which makes the place feel warm, but it can get quite hot in the summer afternoons. I usually have a cup of tea sitting on the counter, though it often goes cold before I get to finish it. We don't use a computer for everything; most of the sales are written down in a big diary with a pen. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it works for us. The street outside at Sayedpura 25 is usually full of people and scooters, so there’s always something to look at through the front window. It’s just a local shop doing its best to stay stocked.
