Notional Chemical And Dyes Company

Notional Chemical And Dyes Company is tucked away at D.43/22 in Sadanand Bazar, Ramapura. This area is a real maze of shops and stalls. It’s one of those parts of town where you can find almost anything if you look long enough. We sell dyes and various chemicals, mostly in powders and liquids that end up staining everything they touch. If you look at our floor or our aprons, you’ll see colors that won't ever come out. The shop is small and the shelves go all the way to the ceiling. It’s a bit dark inside, but we know exactly where every tin and bag is located. Sadanand Bazar is always loud with the sounds of carts being pushed and people haggling over prices. We’ve been here for years, and we’ve seen the market change quite a bit, though the noise stays the same. Most of our day is spent weighing out portions or mixing things for customers who come in from the textile shops. It’s a dusty, colorful mess most of the time. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just rely on the fact that people know we’re here in Ramapura. We close up when the market gets quiet, usually having a final glass of chai with the neighbor who sells hardware. It's a straightforward way to earn a living, even if we go home covered in blue or red dust every evening.
