It is Tuesday evening. The last two days have been hectic to say the least.
The photo here is of me in the dark alley of the export company sitting on my stash.
My business cards are being printed as we speak as are the compliment slips. Stamps with company details are being made. Sari jewellery bracelet bags are being sewn. Best of all though is 14,000 sari bracelets are winging their way to Arundel. I hope. Until I get the tracking number I will be a little nervous.
The photo above is of me sitting in the dark alley of the freighting company sitting on my stash.Notice the t-shirt england and this is night time!
The show is not yet over. I've still got to wade through a whole mountain of bracelets, included are the new style bracelets. The very hard work though does seem to be over. Prasad has his bank and exporter license all signed up and there seems to be a good system in place.
In between all this sending packing and paperwork, I have also manged to buy a few presents. Namely silk bed covers. I have had a fair few requests for these from friends and family both in England and Italy.
Early start tomorrow, I will breakfast at Prasad's before we start to work . He lives a million miles away so I might get some sleep in the rickshaw. I wish.
Ooh. One thing I forgot to tell you. It is a very auspicious time to get married at the moment so there are hundreds of weddings going on at the moment. Fireworks galore and bands parading in the streets with guests and elephants in tow. I caught the eye of one of the all dressed up grooms surrounded by all this colourful confusion, I smiled and wished him good luck as I passed by on the cycle rickshaw, he gently smiled back.
I must say I felt a little envious as I enjoyed my wedding day so much. One day is not long enough for a wedding. The freighting manager is going to two wedding parties tonight, he kindly offered me to go along. Could have been interesting, even though I tend to stay away from these functions (too long), anyway work and sleep came as a handy and genuine excuse. Maybe next time.
Goodnight England,
dominic
