Jai Ma Bhagwati Traders

If you walk down Street No-17 in Ranjit Nagar, you will find us at 3013/4 C. It is a bit of a maze back here, and the numbers don’t always make sense to people who aren't from around here. Jai Ma Bhagwati Traders is basically a warehouse and a small office squeezed together. We have been operating out of this spot for a while, dealing with the daily arrivals and departures of goods. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, and the desk is cluttered with old receipts and loose pens. It’s a trading life, which means a lot of phone calls and checking the clips on the manifests. The trucks have a hard time backing into the lane, so there is usually a lot of shouting and waving of arms to get things parked. We drink a lot of tea while waiting for the morning shipments. It’s a practical setup. We don't have a showroom or anything to look at. It is just stacks of items waiting to be moved to the next place. The floor is concrete and gets cold in the winter. We know the other guys on the street, and we mostly keep to ourselves unless there is a problem with the electricity or a blocked drain. It’s a steady rhythm of work that doesn’t change much from year to year. We just keep our heads down and handle the load as it comes in. It is not glamorous, but it is what we do.
