Pazhamudir Nilayam

You can find Pazhamudir Nilayam over at 41, Govt Arts College Road. It’s a busy spot, especially when the college students are around. We deal with fruits and vegetables mostly, and our day starts way before the sun comes up. By the time most people are having breakfast, we’ve already been working for hours. The shop isn't very large, so things can get a bit crowded when the fresh stock arrives. We try to keep everything sorted, but it’s a lot of work. The crates sometimes stack up on the sidewalk while we’re moving things around. Being on Govt Arts College Road is good because there’s always people passing by. We know many of the regulars who stop in every couple of days. We don't use any fancy systems, just a notebook and some scales. It’s a bit noisy with the traffic outside, but you get used to it. Sometimes we run out of certain items faster than expected, and we have to wait for the next delivery. It’s just the way it goes here. We aren't trying to be a big supermarket, just a local shop where you can grab what you need. It’s a bit messy at times, but that’s the nature of handling fresh produce every single day. We spend a lot of time cleaning up after the morning rush. The floor is always a bit damp from the washing, and we keep the lights bright so people can see what they're picking.
