Time View

Time View is tucked away in the Karnataka Veterinary Association Buildings on 8th Cross in Malleshwaram. It’s a bit of a specific location, right at number 3. Malleshwaram is one of those old-school areas where things move a little differently. You can hear the bells from the temples and the sound of people walking to the market. Our shop is relatively small, but it’s full of character. We deal with a lot of older items, things that people have owned for years and want to keep in good shape. The ticking sounds in the shop are quite constant, which we find relaxing, though some visitors think it’s a bit much. We spend a lot of time sitting at our benches with small tools. It takes a bit of patience and a steady hand. The lighting isn't always perfect, but we've got our little lamps to help us see. Most of our customers are from the neighborhood, people who have lived in Malleshwaram for decades. They come in for a quick chat as much as for any work. We don’t have a website or anything like that; people usually just find us by walking past or hearing about us from a neighbor. It’s a quiet way to spend the day, and being near the Veterinary Association means we see all sorts of people coming and going. It’s a nice, simple life here.
