The Raimant Garments

Out here on Kangayammain Road, things stay pretty busy. We are tucked away in Nachipalayam, which is through the Vijapuram side. Most people who live around here know where we are. We have been running The Raimant Garments for a good stretch of time now. The building isn't anything special to look at, just a practical place where we keep the clothes. We get a lot of trucks passing by on the road, so there’s always that low humming sound in the background. My day usually starts with checking the inventory that came in the night before. Sometimes the deliveries are late because of the traffic or the weather, but that’s just how it goes. The shop floor is where I spend most of my time, folding things and putting them back on the hangers after someone has looked at them. We don't really do much advertising; people just see the sign when they are driving to the post office or going into town. It gets quite warm in the afternoons, so we usually have the fans going full speed. The floor is concrete and we try to keep it swept, though the dust from the road always finds its way in. It is just me and a couple of others helping out. We like the quiet rhythm of this area. It feels like home even when work is piling up. There isn't much more to it than that, just daily work in a quiet spot.
