Jyothi Fancy Stores

Jyothi Fancy Stores is located right near the Ganesh Temple on 18th C Main. We are in the 5th Block area of Sunkadakatte. You can usually hear the temple bells ringing in the morning and evening, which is a nice sound to have in the background while we work. The shop is quite small and the front is mostly covered with hanging items like bangles and hair ties. We have been here for years and the shop has become a bit of a landmark for people living on this street. We spend a lot of time rearranging the bins of beads and buttons because they always seem to get mixed up. The floor is made of old stone and it stays relatively cool even when the sun is beating down on the street outside. I usually keep a small radio on the shelf tuned to the local station. We know almost everyone who walks past the door, and many people stop just to say hello even if they aren't buying anything that day. It isn't a high-tech store by any means, we still use a simple calculator and a paper notepad to keep track of things. It’s a quiet life here in Sunkadakatte, just keeping the shop running and making sure we have enough stock for the local festivals when everyone wants new decorations and accessories for their homes and families.
