Appayya

We've been at 7 Geddalahalli for a while now. It's tucked into the 32nd Cross on the 1st Main. Most people around here know Astalakshmi Layout, but finding us in Puttanahalli takes a bit of a look at the map if you aren't local to Doddaubbi. We call ourselves Appayya. The Byrathi area is busy, but our corner stays pretty steady. We get here early, get the lights on, and just start the day's work. It's not a fancy office, just a place where we do what we do. Sometimes the traffic on the main road gets backed up, so we hear the horns from the back window. The layout has changed over the years. New buildings go up, but we're still sitting here at number seven. It’s a simple setup. We don’t have big signs or anything. Just the name Appayya on the door. It’s mostly just us inside, handling things as they come. People stop by sometimes asking for directions because the street names around Geddalahalli can get confusing. We don't mind. We just point them the right way and get back to it. It’s a quiet life in this part of town. We like being part of the neighborhood. Nothing much to say besides that. We're here every day, except Sundays when the whole street goes quiet. We keep the shop clean but it definitely feels lived in. There are coffee rings on some of the desks and the files aren't always in perfect order, but we know where everything is.
