Himalaya Fancy Stationery is located in Barli Sadri, which isn't too far from the Ranakpur area. It's a fairly quiet place most of the time, except when the local school starts in the morning or lets out in the afternoon. That's when we get most of the kids coming in for pens, notebooks, and erasers. We try to keep stock of whatever the teachers at the school ask for. The shop isn't very large, so we have our shelves stacked right up to the ceiling. Sometimes I have to use a wooden ladder just to get the drawing books down for a customer. We also have some fancy items like colored pens and stickers, which the younger children seem to love. It's just me and one helper most days of the week. We don't have a big corporate plan or anything like that. We just buy what we think people need and sell it at a price that is fair for everyone. If someone needs a photocopy or a quick printout, we have a small machine for that in the corner. It breaks down sometimes, which is a bit of a headache for us. The building we are in is quite old but it stays nice and cool during the hot summer months. Ranakpur is a beautiful area, and we like being part of the community here. We know most of the parents and the teachers by their names.
