Edhayem Iodised Salt Trading Company

Over at 113A/10 in Polpettai, things are always moving. Being in the Tuticorin District, salt is basically what this place is known for, and we are right in the thick of the trading side of things. Our warehouse is full of bags of iodised salt stacked nearly to the ceiling. It’s a very physical job. We spend our time checking the weight of the bags and making sure the stitching is tight so nothing leaks out during transport. The air here has a bit of a salty tang to it, which you get used to after a few days of working here. Polpettai is a busy hub, and there are always lorries lining up to get loaded. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit messy when we have three or four different shipments going out at once, but we usually figure it out. We have a small wooden desk where we sit to handle the accounts, and it’s covered in scraps of paper and old pens. It’s not the most organized office in the world, but it works for us. The heat in Tuticorin can be pretty intense, so we try to get the heavy lifting done early in the morning before the sun gets too high. It’s just us and the salt, day in and day out, making sure people get what they ordered. We usually keep a few bottles of cold water in the small fridge to get through the afternoon heat.
