University Book House

Our shop is located at 79 Chaura Rasta. If you have ever been to this part of the city, you know it is always packed with people looking for books or just passing through the market. We have stacks of books everywhere you look, from the floor right up to the high ceiling. It always has that smell of old paper and fresh ink inside. We spend our time helping students and teachers find the specific titles they need for their classes or research. It is not a modern store with sofas or a cafe; it is just a traditional place where the focus is on the books themselves. Chaura Rasta is a very historic street, and being here feels like being part of the old city's heartbeat. The shop gets extremely busy when the new school semester starts. Sometimes it is hard to even see the counter because of the crowds. We try to keep the shelves organized, but with thousands of books, something is always hiding in the wrong place. We don't have a huge staff, just a few of us who have memorized where most of the subjects are kept. The street outside is a constant stream of rickshaws and people shopping. We open up early and stay until the evening. It is a simple life, surrounded by mountains of paper and the noise of the city. People just know to come here when they are looking for something specific.
