Maa Kripa General & Kirana Store

Maa Kripa General & Kirana Store is located over on Somalpur Road in Dorai, right within the HMT Industrial Area. It’s a busy spot because of all the nearby industries. We get a lot of people coming in for their daily groceries. Kirana items take up most of the space. We have sacks of grain and lentils stacked up in the corners. It’s a bit of a walk for some people, but since we are on Somalpur Road, it’s a convenient stop for those living nearby in Dorai. The shop isn't very large, so we have to use the height of the walls for shelving. I spend a lot of time checking the inventory and making lists for the suppliers. Sometimes my family helps out when I need to go out for errands. We don't have any fancy displays or computer systems. Everything is done by hand in a notebook. It’s just how we’ve always done it. People like that they can just ask for what they want and I grab it for them. The atmosphere is quiet until the factory shifts end. Then it gets quite loud for an hour or two. We try to keep the floor swept, but with the dust from the industrial area, it’s a constant job. We just provide what the neighborhood needs. It’s a honest way to make a living in Dorai. We just do our job every day without any fuss.
