Shree Krishna Novelty & Gift

Our place is at A 87 Ramaiah Circle in the Katargam part of town. It is a busy intersection, so there is always the sound of scooters and cars passing by outside. We handle a lot of novelty items and different types of gifts. The shop isn't fancy, just rows of glass counters and shelves where we put out whatever we have in stock at the moment. You can find small toys, maybe some imitation jewelry, and basic gift items that people need for school functions or small family gatherings. Katargam is a place where everyone knows everyone, so we end up chatting with the neighbors quite a bit while we stand near the door. The inventory changes depending on what is available at the market that week. Sometimes we get a lot of new stationary, other times it is mostly home decorative pieces that don't serve much purpose but look nice on a shelf. We keep the shop open throughout the day and into the late evening because that is when the local families come out for a walk. It can get a bit hot in the afternoons, so we usually just sit under the fan and reorganize the smaller trinkets in the glass cases. There is no big philosophy behind it, we just keep the shop running and make sure we have enough stock for whoever comes looking for a last-minute gift. It has been our routine for a long time.
