Aiyannas

Aiyannas is located in Viman Nagar on Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Road. Our shop is at Plot No 961, inside the Aashiyana building, which is right opposite Konark Road. It’s a busy part of town with a lot of people moving around all the time. We opened up here because we liked the feel of the neighborhood. The shop isn’t very large, but we’ve managed to fit everything we need inside. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three or four people are browsing at once, but we make it work. We spend our mornings getting things ready and dusting the shelves. The light comes in quite nicely through the front window in the afternoon. Living and working in Viman Nagar means we see all sorts of people, from students to families who have lived here for decades. We aren't part of some big chain of stores. It’s just our own little place where we try to keep things organized. Sometimes we rearrange the whole shop on a Sunday just to change the look of it. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything. We just put a sign out front and hope people like what they see inside. If you're walking toward Konark Road, you’ll probably spot us easily enough. It’s a quiet life behind the counter, but we enjoy the daily routine of it. There are always new things coming in, and we like to see what people are interested in buying each season. It keeps things interesting for us.
