Sunil Provision Store

Sunil Provision Store sits right in the middle of Village At Post Punewadi. If you know the area near the railway station on Pune Road, you probably have walked past us a few times. Being in Tehsil Parner means we see a lot of the same faces every single day, which is nice. Most of the time, I am just behind the counter, rearranging the jars of sweets or checking if we have enough rice and dal for the evening rush. The trains passing by the station make a lot of noise, but after living here so long, you stop hearing them. It is a small shop, so things can get a bit cramped when three or four people come in at once. We keep the doors open to let some air in from the road. The dust from Pune Road is a bit of a problem, so I am always wiping down the shelves with a cloth. It is just me and some help from the family sometimes. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the shop name and the location. People from Punewadi know they can drop in for whatever they forgot to buy in the bigger town. Sometimes we sit outside on the bench when it's quiet and watch the tractors go by. It’s not a complicated business. We just try to keep the staples in stock so nobody has to go too far for their groceries.
