Babu Garments

You can find us over at No. 37 Susaiyapururum. It is a bit of a walk from the main road, but most people who live around here know where it is. Babu Garments is basically just a room full of fabric and finished clothes. We don't have a big sign outside or anything like that. The walls are painted a dull color and there are stacks of shirts and trousers piled up on the wooden tables. Sometimes it feels like there is more cloth than floor space. We start early in the morning when the air is still a bit cool. Most of the time, the sewing machines are going or we are busy folding things to be sent out. It’s a lot of work and our hands often get tired by the end of the day. The tea man comes by twice a day and that is usually when we stop to talk for a few minutes. It is a very simple setup we have here. We don't do much advertising because we stay busy enough with the people who already know us. The street outside can get muddy when it rains, so we have to be careful not to let any dirt get on the garments. It's a modest operation, but it keeps us all going. We just focus on getting the piles moved and keeping the workspace organized enough to find the tape measure when we need it.
