Mahalaxmi Stationary

I usually open the doors at Mahalaxmi Stationary quite early, before the traffic on Dr Rajkumar Road gets too bad. We are located at 3 Shamal Apartment, right across from the Titan showroom in Aundh. It is a small shop, but we try to keep it filled with everything a student or a local office might need. I spend a lot of my time arranging pencils and notebooks on the shelves. The shop gets a bit dusty because of the road outside, so I’m always wiping things down. Aundh has changed a lot since we started, but this corner feels the same. Sometimes the delivery guys bring the wrong size of paper and we have to sort it out right there on the sidewalk. It is not a very fancy place with big lights. It’s just me and a helper most days. We have a small xerox machine in the back that makes a bit of noise. Customers come in for small things like a single pen or a roll of tape. I know where every item is kept, even if the shelves look a bit messy to someone else. The afternoon sun comes through the front door and makes the place feel warm. We don't have a big sign, just the name on the glass. People from the nearby apartments usually stop by on their way home. It is just a regular life here in the shop.
