Mateshwari Stationery

Mateshwari Stationery is located right near Saramurti Chauraha. If you know the area, you know it’s a busy spot where everyone passes through. Our shop is filled with pens, notebooks, and all sorts of paper. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes because we try to keep everything people might ask for. We have been here for a good while. We don't have a fancy sign, just the name of the shop. Students and office workers come in all day. It’s a lot of small transactions, one pen here, a notebook there. We like the rhythm of it. The shop gets a bit dusty because of the road outside, so we are always wiping down the counters. We aren't a big chain store. It’s just us. We don't have a mission statement or anything like that on the wall. We just want to make sure people can find the stuff they need for school or work. Sometimes we run out of something and have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s not perfect, but it’s real. We know most of the regular faces that come by Saramurti Chauraha. It’s a friendly place to be. We stay open late during the exam seasons because that’s when people need us most. It’s just a simple shop doing its thing every day. We enjoy seeing the neighborhood kids grow up and go to college.
