Jose Store is a small place at 79D in Thycattussery. If you know Cherthala, you probably know the area. I’ve been here for years. It’s just a neighborhood shop, really. I started it with just a few items and it grew slowly over time. People come in for their daily bread or milk. I know most of the families around here. We talk about the weather or the local news while I pack their bags. It’s not a fast-paced environment. Things move a bit slower in Thycattussery, which I like. The shop has a bit of everything crammed onto the shelves. Sometimes it looks a bit messy, but I know where everything is. I don't have employees, just me and occasionally my son helps out when he isn't busy. We don't use any fancy systems. I just write things down. The building is old and the paint is peeling a bit in the corners, but it’s sturdy. I like the smell of the spices and the coffee in the mornings. It’s a quiet life, but a good one. People stop by not just to buy things, but just to say hello. That’s the best part of having a shop in a place like this. We stay open as long as there are people around. No strict schedules here, just staying until the work is done. It is what it is.
