Seenu Provision Stores

I open the shutters at Seenu Provision Stores pretty early every morning. We are located in Raghavendra Plaza in Adugodi, which stays busy throughout the day with people coming and going. The shop isn't very large, so we have to stack the rice bags and soap boxes right up to the ceiling sometimes. It can be a bit cramped when three or four people come in at once to buy their groceries. I usually know what my regulars want before they even ask. Mrs. Rao always wants her specific brand of tea, and the boys from the corner come for biscuits after school. We try to keep everything in stock, but sometimes the delivery truck is late and we run out of things like cooking oil or sugar. It happens. I spend a lot of time writing down accounts in a notebook because not everyone pays with their phone yet. The fan in the corner makes a clicking sound that I have grown used to over the years. It is just a regular neighborhood store. Nothing fancy about it. We have bags of lentils and spices that make the whole place smell like a kitchen. Sometimes the inventory gets mixed up and I have to spend my Sunday afternoon counting packets. It is a lot of standing on my feet, but I like talking to the people who live around here. We have been here long enough that I have seen the kids grow up.
