Shopping Mela

Over in Karnavati, we run Shopping Mela. It’s not a giant mall or anything, just a place where we’ve gathered a bunch of different things people might need. We have shelves full of stuff, and it can get a little crowded when we get a new shipment in. We started this because we saw that people in the neighborhood had to travel too far for basic items. Now, they just come to us. We spend our mornings unpacking boxes and trying to figure out where to put everything so it looks somewhat organized. It’s a lot of standing on our feet and chatting with the regulars who come in for their weekly shopping. Sometimes the lights flicker or the floor needs a good sweep, but that’s just part of running a shop. We don't have a big corporate team; it’s just us and a few helpers from the local area. We know most of the families around Karnavati by name. It’s nice to hear the local gossip while we’re ringing up sales. We don't do fancy promotions. If we have something in stock, we put it out on the shelf. If we don't, we try to get it for the next time. It’s a simple way to do business, but it works for us. We just want to make sure the people living nearby can find what they need without too much fuss. It gets busy during the festivals, but otherwise, it’s a steady pace here.
