Bhagwan Provision Store

Kishangarh Khidi Chok is where you will find us, right there in the middle of the square. It’s a busy spot, and Bhagwan Provision Store has been a part of it for a long time. We open the shutters early and the first thing we do is sweep the front. You’d be surprised how much dust gathers overnight. We have bags of pulses, rice, and all the spices you need for cooking. It’s not a fancy place with shopping carts. You just tell us what you need, and we get it from the back or the high shelves. We use a ladder for the stuff at the top. Sometimes the kids come in after school for some candy or a cold drink from the fridge. We know whose mother wants which brand of oil. It’s that kind of shop. The Chok is always loud with people talking and cars honking, but inside it smells like roasted cumin and soap. We don't have a computer to track things; we just know what’s in the drawers. If we run out of something, we write it down on a piece of cardboard so we remember to buy more. It’s been this way for years. We just keep serving the neighborhood and watching the seasons change from the front counter. It’s a good spot to be, and we are happy to be here every single day for the community.
