Banoth Mangamma.

My name is Banoth Mangamma and I stay in Ramla Thanda. That is in Kesaram village. My house number is 5-109. Living in a Thanda is different than the city. It is quieter and we know everyone who lives here. I have my small business right out of my home. I don’t have a shop in a big market. Everything I do happens right here in the village. It is a simple way of living. I wake up when the sun comes up and start my chores. My work is just part of my life. There isn't really a start or end time. I just help out the people in Kesaram with what they need. We don't have many visitors from outside, but that’s okay. We like our life here. I’ve been in this house for many years. My family is here too. We don't use fancy technology for our work. It’s mostly just using our hands and talking to people face to face. Sometimes the weather is very dry and it’s hard, but we manage. I don’t have much to say about myself. I am just a person living in Ramla Thanda and doing my work. It’s a peaceful place to be. I just try to be helpful and keep things running smoothly for my small business every day. It’s just how things are for us out here in the village. We just keep going like we always have.
