Agar Bathi Biseness

I started this small Agar Bathi Biseness because I needed something to do from my home in LB Nagar. The address is H-No 11-23-1102 if you ever come looking for us in Warangal. It isn't a big factory or anything fancy like you see in the city. We just sit here and work on the sticks every day. The smell of sandalwood and jasmine usually hangs in the air around the house. My kids sometimes help out after school if they aren't too busy with homework. We sell to the local shops around the neighborhood. It’s hard work on the hands because you have to be careful with the powder and the sticks. Some days it gets very dusty, and we have to clean everything twice. People know us here in Warangal as just a small family thing. We don't have a big sign outside, just the work going on inside. Sometimes the weather makes it hard for the sticks to dry properly, especially when it rains. Then we have to wait. It is just a way to make a living and keep busy. I didn't think I would be doing this for so long but now it's just what we do. We don't use big machines, mostly just our hands. You get used to the scent after a while, so I don't even notice it anymore, but visitors always say something about it when they walk in.
