Noor Kirana

This shop is located right on the Main Road, specifically Station Road in Aurangabad. Being part of the Silk Mill Colony neighborhood means we get to see a lot of the same familiar faces every single day. It is a traditional kirana store, so we mostly focus on the things you absolutely need for your daily cooking and cleaning. I get the new stock delivered every few days, and it is always a bit of a rush to get everything put away on the shelves before the afternoon crowd starts coming in. The street right outside is usually very busy with people heading toward the railway station. We keep the shop open pretty late because that is when most people finish their work and realize they do not have enough salt or oil left for their dinner. It is a plain building, nothing special to look at if you are just passing by. Inside, it is just rows of sacks and crowded shelves. I actually like the smell of the spices and the raw grain that fills the air. Sometimes the rain comes down really hard and we have to pull the metal shutter halfway down to keep the water from blowing in. It is just me and sometimes a young helper during the peak hours. We do not do anything complicated or fancy here. If you need a bag of sugar or some tea, you just come in and ask me.
