Selections

Selections is situated at 418 Narayan Peth on Laxmi Road. We are tucked into the Rohini crosslane, right near the Umbrya Ganpati Chowk. It’s a very well-known area in this part of the city. The shop itself is quite modest. We have been working out of this space for a long time now. Laxmi Road is always bustling with shoppers, so there is never a dull moment outside our window. Inside, we have shelves lined with all sorts of things we’ve collected over time to sell. It’s not a shiny, new store. The wooden counters are a bit worn down from years of use, and the floorboards creak a little when you walk on them. We don't really do any big advertising; people usually just find us while they are walking through the Peth. My brother and I take turns minding the shop. During the festivals, the whole area gets incredibly crowded, and it’s hard to even move, but we like the energy. We keep a small kettle in the back to make tea in the afternoons. It’s just a regular local business where we know most of the other shopkeepers on the lane. We don't try to be anything we aren't, just a place where you can find some decent stuff without any hassle. We usually lock up around eight and head home for dinner.
