Gloary Gift

You can find Gloary Gift right at Gole Pyau Choraha on Pur Road. It’s a busy intersection, so there is always a lot of noise from the traffic outside. We opened up here because it seemed like a good spot where people are always passing through. The shop itself is tucked in between a cloth store and a small snack place. Inside, we have a lot of different items packed onto the wooden shelves. It’s mostly small things that people buy for birthdays or weddings. I usually arrive around ten in the morning to open up. The first thing I do is sweep the front because Pur Road gets really dusty with all the trucks going by. Sometimes I sit on the bench outside and watch the cars while waiting for the first customer. We have some glass vases and a lot of wall clocks that tick at different times, which sounds funny if the shop is quiet. Gole Pyau Choraha is a landmark everyone knows, so it's easy to tell people where we are. We don't really do much advertising; people just see the door open and walk in. My son helps with the inventory when he isn't at college. We try to keep a bit of everything so there’s a choice. It's a small business, just me and my family really. The lights inside are a little dim in the back corner, but we know where everything is kept. It’s been our daily routine for a long time. I remember when the road was narrower and there was less traffic, but things change. We just keep our door open for whoever needs a gift.
