You can find us at Plot 156 in the Super Market area. We're quite close to Malvir Chowk, so it's a familiar spot for anyone living around here. The shop has been here for quite some time now. It’s a basic setup with plenty of shelves for the books we carry. We deal with all sorts of things, from school notebooks to regional literature. The market gets pretty loud during the day, but inside the shop, it stays relatively calm. We don't have a big team, just a few of us making sure things are in order. The shelves are getting a bit old, and sometimes the labels are hard to read, but we generally know where everything is kept. If someone asks for a specific title, we usually have to go digging through the back stacks. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting heavy boxes and dusting off the tops of the shelves every week. We try to keep the front tidy, though books have a way of piling up on the main counter. People from the surrounding neighborhoods come here often because they know we've been around. It's a straightforward place. We aren't doing anything fancy with the decor. It's just a book shop meant for people who need something to read or study. We open the shutters early and stay until late. It's what we do every day of the week.
