Kalpana Stores

Our place, Kalpana Stores, is located at number 28 in Balepet. If you look for Mulayani Opticals in Huda Market, we are right across from them. It’s a busy part of town, always lots of people moving around. We’ve stayed in this spot for quite some time now. The market is always loud, but you get used to it after a few years. We sell various things that people need for their homes. Most of our customers are locals who live nearby or work in the market area. We open the shutters every morning and get things ready before the rush starts. The shop isn't very wide, but we use the space we have. You might have to squeeze past a few boxes sometimes. It’s just how we do things here. We don't spend money on big ads or anything like that. People just know where we are. Balepet has changed a lot, but this corner feels the same. We know most of the other shopkeepers around us. If we don't have something, we usually know who does. It’s a practical kind of life. We just keep the shelves stocked and wait for the next person to come in. The address is easy to find once you get into Huda Market. Just look for the optical shop and turn around. That's us. Simple and straightforward. We don't need much more than that to get through the day.
