Sri Lakshmi Novelties

You can find Sri Lakshmi Novelties at Shop 1 and 2, number 432 in Secretariat Colony. It’s a small shop, but we try to keep a bit of everything on the shelves. We’ve got rows of bangles, hair clips, and all those small things kids need for their school projects. The place gets really busy in the late afternoon when the school nearby lets out and all the students come in looking for pens or stickers. It’s often a bit disorganized because there are so many tiny items and people are always moving things around. We spend a lot of our time just putting things back in their boxes and dusting the shelves. We aren't some big department store; it’s just a local spot where you can grab a last-minute gift or some sewing thread. The lighting is a bit dim in the back corners, but we know where every single item is hidden. Sometimes we get new stock in large boxes and the whole floor gets covered for a few hours while we sort through it all. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than four people are inside at once. We’ve lived around here for a long time, so we know most of the faces that walk through the door. It’s just a regular neighborhood shop where we keep things simple and try to have what people need. We stay open until late so workers can stop by.
