Tawkkal Kirana

Tawkkal Kirana is our shop in Hamid Colony, right on Station Road in Aurangabad. If you know where Shifa Medical is, we are very close to that. It is a simple neighborhood store where we sell groceries and daily items to the families living nearby. We have all the usual things like dal, rice, and cooking oils. The shop isn’t very fancy, just some wooden shelves and a counter where we sit. We spend our days waiting on customers and keeping track of what we need to order from the wholesalers. It’s a lot of work to keep everything stocked, especially the items that people buy every day. We know most of our customers by their faces and some by their names since they’ve been coming here for a long time. The street outside can get quite crowded with bikes and people walking to the station. We open the shop early and stay until late in the evening. There’s no big team here, just us doing the daily chores. Sometimes we have to fix a light or move heavy bags of grain around. It’s just part of running a small business. We don't spend money on advertising or anything. People just know we are here and they come in for what they need. We just try to keep things simple and make sure the neighborhood has a place to get their basic supplies. It’s a steady job and we’ve been doing it for years now.
