Star Electric Company

Star Electric Company is situated at No. 7 Krishna Kutir. We are right opposite the Parsi Agiyari in Sayajiganj. If you know P. B. No. 2573, that's where we receive our mail. The shop is full of wires, bulbs, and switches. We’ve been here in Sayajiganj for a long time. Being opposite the Parsi Agiyari makes it very easy to give directions over the phone. It’s a good spot because people pass by on their way to the temple or the market. We handle electrical supplies and sometimes help with small repairs if we have the time. It’s a bit cluttered in the back room with old inventory we haven't cleared out yet. Our shelves are stacked high. We know where everything is, even if it looks like a mess to someone walking in off the street. Dealing with electricity requires being careful, so we take our time with the technical stuff. The building, Krishna Kutir, has a lot of character but it's an older place. We like the history of this area. On hot days, the shop stays a bit cooler because of the thick walls. We talk to the other shopkeepers around here every morning while opening up. It’s a steady kind of life. We don't use fancy computers for everything; a lot of our notes are still on paper pads. It works for us and our customers seem okay with that too. We just keep working until it's time to close the shutters.
