Nagendra Provision Stores

Nagendra Provision Stores has been at Sanjay Nagar MIDC 31/A for quite some time. It is a typical grocery shop where we stock everything from lentils and rice to soaps and biscuits. The space is quite tight because we try to fit as much as possible onto the wooden shelves. We have large open bins for the loose items like sugar and flour, and we use those silver scoops to weigh them out. The weighing machine is right at the front on a sturdy wooden table. We have a lot of regulars from the Sanjay Nagar area who have been shopping with us for years. They usually just give us a list and we pack everything up while they wait. We use a lot of brown paper bags for the dry goods. There is a stack of ledgers where we keep track of the credit for some of the local families. The shop can get quite dusty with all the bags of grain being opened and closed. We have a small fridge in the corner for milk and curd, which usually sells out by ten in the morning. The ceiling is a bit low and we have bags of snacks hanging from hooks to save space. It’s a busy life, especially in the mornings and late evenings. We don't do anything fancy, just provide the basic stuff people need for their kitchens every day. Most of the time it’s just me and my son handling the rush.
