A K P Metals & Wares

Post Office Road in Veliyannur is a funny place because it stays crowded almost all day long. A K P Metals & Wares is right in the middle of that mess. If you look around, you'll see stacks of metal things everywhere. We deal with a lot of heavy stuff, so there is usually a lot of noise from things being dropped or moved around. My hands are usually a bit dirty by lunch time. It's not a place for someone wearing a white shirt, that’s for sure. We have been in this spot for a long time. The roof leaks a tiny bit when the monsoon really hits hard, but we just move the wares out of the way. Most of the people who come in are regulars from around the neighborhood. They know where we keep the usual items, so they often just walk in and start looking. It’s a bit of a maze inside with all the shelves. We don't really have a computer system that works all the time, so we still write a lot of things down in the big ledgers. It’s slower that way, but it works for us. Sometimes the cows block the road outside and the delivery trucks can't get through. We just wait it out. It's just how life goes here in Veliyannur. We keep the doors open to get a breeze, even if the dust comes in.
