Who you talk to

A man at the bench planing a plank, seen from the chest down.
Srinivas Mekala. Makes it.
A woman's hands at a drawing, a pencil and a set square beside them.
Anusha Mekala. Measures, draws, prices it.
The showroom door from the road, a teak door and window in a white wall.
Miyapur Road, past JNTU. You cannot miss the swing.
