Up To Date

The shop is located at 188 Adi Parashakthi Temple Road. It's a good spot because of the temple nearby, so there are always people walking past, especially on festival days. We called it Up To Date a long time ago. It’s just a name, really. Sector 19 is a quiet enough place most of the time, though the road gets busy during the morning rush. The building isn't the newest, but it stays cool in the summer which is nice. I spend a lot of time just organizing the stock and talking to the regulars who live around here. Sometimes I sit outside on a plastic chair when things are slow. You see the same delivery bikes going back and forth all day. Inside, we have everything laid out where we can find it, though it might look a bit messy to someone else. I like the light in the afternoons when it hits the front window. It makes the place feel warm. We don't do anything fancy. We just open up, stay here until evening, and then lock up. It’s a simple routine. The temple bells are a nice sound to have in the background. Most people in Sector 19 know the road well. We’ve become a part of the daily scenery for them. It’s just us here, doing our thing at number 188. We don't need much more than that to keep things going well enough.
