Jai Bahvani Paper Mart

Jai Bahvani Paper Mart is located at 36/37 Ulsoor. We have a lot of paper here. It is stacked from the floor up to the ceiling in some parts of the shop. I spend most of my time counting out sheets or helping people find the right kind of cardstock for their projects. Ulsoor is a great place to be because there is so much history around here. The shop at 36/37 is an old building. The floors are a bit uneven and the light flickers sometimes if the wind blows too hard. I have been working with paper for years and I can usually tell the weight just by feeling it between my fingers. We get a lot of students and small business owners coming in. Sometimes the shop feels very small when we get a big shipment in and there is nowhere to put the boxes. I have to move things around constantly to make a path. It is a bit like a puzzle every single day. I have a small desk tucked in the back where I keep my ledger and my glasses. I still prefer writing things down by hand rather than using a computer for everything. It feels more real that way. If you are walking through Ulsoor, you will see us easily. We have been here for a long time and we know most of the people who live on the street. It’s a simple life but it’s okay.
