Bhagayalakshmi Store

Bhagayalakshmi Store has been sitting here on Kanakapura Road for a good while now. We are just a small local shop, dealing in the usual things people need every day. You can find groceries, some snacks, and the basic stuff for the kitchen. It’s not a fancy place with bright lights or anything. The shelves are a bit old, and sometimes things get a little dusty because of the road construction nearby. We open up early in the morning because that is when the milk arrives and people are rushing to get to their jobs. My family mostly runs the place. We don’t have a big team of workers. If you come in, you will probably see me or my brother behind the small counter. Kanakapura Road has gotten so much busier over the years. We’ve seen the traffic grow and new buildings go up all around us. Despite all the changes, we’ve just stayed here doing our thing in the same spot. Sometimes we run out of a particular brand of dal or rice, but we usually get it back in stock by the next day. It’s a simple business. We know the people who live in the houses behind the store and they know us. We don't do any big advertising or anything. People just walk in because we are convenient and they know what to expect. It gets a bit tiring standing for ten hours a day, but we are used to it by now. We just try to keep the ledger straight and the bags filled for whoever comes in.
