Chirag Stationary & Xerox

Running a shop like Chirag Stationary & Xerox right by the C T M Highway in Karve Nagar means you get used to the sound of trucks and cars going by pretty fast. The xerox machine is the real workhorse here. It’s got its own personality, sometimes it hums along fine and other days it decides to be a bit stubborn with the paper tray. We keep plenty of paper and ink in the back because when a student from the nearby colleges comes in with a huge stack of notes to copy, you can't be caught short. Most days it's just the steady rhythm of the machine and the smell of warm toner. We also have the usual pens, notebooks, and folders tucked into the racks. It gets a bit dusty with the highway so close, so we spend a fair amount of time wiping down the glass counters. People usually come in a hurry, wanting their copies done so they can get back to whatever they were doing. Karve Nagar is a busy place, and we are right in the middle of that rush. I’ve lived around here for years, so I know most of the shortcuts and the quiet times of day. Usually, the evenings are the most packed when folks are heading home. It's a simple life, just keeping the shelves stocked and the machine running as best as it can.
