Bookz Junction (Closed Down )

Being at Vasavi Arcade in Kammanahalli was a particular experience for us. Our spot was on the first floor of that building on 3rd A Cross. It's right behind Adyar Ananda Bhavan, so the smell of food was always around in the afternoons. The space wasn't huge, but we managed to fit a lot of things into those rooms. We had people coming in after finishing their shopping or lunch nearby. The stairs up to the first floor were a bit narrow, and moving boxes up and down was always a bit of a chore. Mariappa Road usually had plenty of people walking by, so we saw a lot of familiar faces from the neighborhood. Things have changed now since the place closed down, but we remember how it used to be during the busy hours. We spent a lot of time organizing the displays and just chatting with whoever walked through the door. The light in the afternoon would hit the front windows just right. It was a simple setup, nothing too grand, just a place where we did our daily work and kept things running as long as we could. It’s quiet there now, but for a while, that corner of Kammanahalli was where we spent all our mornings and evenings. We handled everything ourselves, from cleaning the glass to keeping the records straight. It was just a part of the local scene for those years we were active in that arcade.
