Sri Vasavi Provision Stores

Down at 732/A Bahu Patil Road in Vijaya Nagar, you will find Sri Vasavi Provision Stores. It is a humble place where we keep the daily necessities for the local families. The road outside is usually full of people walking to work or heading home, and we see most of them at some point during the week. Our shop isn't very wide, so we have to stack things high up on the shelves. I keep a small ladder handy just to reach the stuff at the top. We focus on basic food items like lentils, rice, and spices, along with some general things for the house. It's a lot of work to keep track of everything without a computer, but I use a big ledger book to write down what we buy and sell. The floor is made of old stone and it stays cool even when it’s hot outside. My wife helps me out in the evenings when the crowd gets a bit larger. We don't have any fancy displays or bright neon lights. It’s just a plain shop where you can get your groceries and go about your day. We’ve been part of this Vijaya Nagar community for a long time and we know most of the stories of the people who live on this street. It’s a quiet life, mostly spent weighing out portions and chatting with the neighbors who stop by.
