Geetha Spices & Dry Fruits

Our shop, Geetha Spices & Dry Fruits, is located at 4-9-252 near the Vaishnavi Layout in Uttahalli. It’s not a very big place, just a few rooms filled with sacks and glass jars. I usually get here around nine in the morning to sweep the front and get things ready. The shelves are mostly made of wood we put up ourselves years ago. We have different kinds of nuts like almonds and walnuts, and the spices are kept in the back where it’s a bit cooler. Sometimes the smell of the spices gets a bit overwhelming, especially when the weather is hot, but you get used to it after a while. Most of our customers are just people from the neighborhood who need a small packet of something for their dinner. We don’t have fancy packaging or anything like that. It’s mostly just clear plastic bags and a basic weighing scale that sometimes acts up when it gets dusty. Uttahalli is a decent area, though it gets a bit dusty with the construction going on nearby. We spend a lot of our time just re-filling jars and making sure nothing has gone stale. It’s a quiet life for the most part. We don't really do any big advertising because everyone around here already knows where we are. We just keep the doors open and wait for whoever comes by. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy enough throughout the day.
