Our shop is at 1006 in the Abhishek Textile Market. This is right on Ring Road, which anyone in the textile business knows is a crazy place to be. There is always someone shouting or a cart being pushed past. Rich Look Saree is situated in a way that we see all the action. We have sarees stacked all the way to the ceiling in some spots. It’s a bit of a maze inside. We don’t have a lot of room for people to sit down, so most of the time we are standing up or leaning against the counter. The air in Abhishek Market is always thick with the smell of new fabric and diesel from the trucks outside. We work long hours, usually from morning until late in the evening. It’s just how it is on Ring Road. We don't have a big marketing plan. We just show the sarees to whoever comes in and hope they like the patterns. Sometimes we have to deal with leaks in the ceiling when it rains really hard, so we keep some plastic sheets ready. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s our life. We know the other guys in the market and we share tea when it’s slow. We just focus on getting the orders right and making sure the bundles are tied tight before they go out. It’s a lot of lifting and moving, but it keeps us fit.
