Agarwal Provision

Our place is right near the bus stand on Kannad Road, so there is always a bit of a crowd around. Agarwal Provision has been sitting here in Saygavahan for a while now, right where the buses pull in and out. You can hear the engines idling and the conductors shouting out the destinations all day. Because of the location, we get a lot of travelers popping in for a quick bottle of water or some biscuits for their journey. But we also have the locals from the village who come in for their regular flour and oil. The shelves are packed pretty tight with bags of pulses and different kinds of spices. It gets a bit dusty with the road being so close, so we are always wiping down the counters. We don't have any fancy displays. Everything is just where it fits. Sometimes the rain makes the road outside a bit of a mess, and then business slows down while people wait for it to clear. We sit on the wooden stools and wait for the next bus to arrive. It’s a busy spot but we like seeing all the different people passing through. It makes the day go by a bit faster. We close up once the last regular bus has gone and the street starts to get dark. It is hard work to keep everything stocked up, but it is what we know. We have been serving this area for many seasons.
