Ashok Gift & Novelties

Ashok Gift & Novelties is our shop over at the Tirumala Complex. We are in Shop Number 32. It’s on S D Road in Secunderabad, which is a really active part of Hyderabad. We’ve been here quite a while now. The shop is full of all sorts of small items, gifts, and little novelties. It’s not a huge space, so we have to be careful about where we put everything. Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough room for all the stuff we have, but we manage. We spend a lot of our time talking to customers and helping them pick out something they might need. It’s a local business, not some big chain store from a mall. We are just people who enjoy running a shop. Secunderabad has a different feel than the rest of the city, and we like being part of that. There are always people walking through Tirumala Complex, so we see a lot of different faces every day. Some people are just looking around, while others know exactly what they want. We don't have any big corporate goals or anything. We just open the shop, clean the glass cases, and wait for the first customer. It’s a lot of standing on our feet, but we’re used to it. We keep things simple and try to be helpful when people ask us questions. It’s been our daily routine for years and we’re still here at the same spot.
