Our place is located at Thanneerpanthal Thottam in the Arulpuram Post area. It’s a bit of a trek to get out here if you aren't used to the local roads, but it's a good spot for what we do. The surroundings are a mix of small houses and other little workshops like ours. We mostly focus on making shirts and other clothes, so the building is usually filled with the hum of the stitching machines. There are a few trees nearby that give some shade during the hottest parts of the afternoon, which is nice when we take a break. We usually have the radio playing in the background to keep things lively while we work. The floors are often covered in scraps of cloth and we spend every Saturday cleaning up the whole place. It is not a corporate office with air conditioning and fancy chairs. We use wooden stools and big tables for cutting the cloth. Sometimes the water supply is a bit slow, so we have to keep buckets filled just in case. It’s a local business and we know everyone around here by their first names. We just try to get the garments finished on time and make sure there aren't any loose threads hanging off. It’s steady work and we are happy to have a place in this community. It is a simple life and we enjoy the work we do.
