Selvam Stores

If you are ever on Madivala Hosur Main Road, you might see us at number 41398. It’s a very busy stretch of road and there is always something happening right outside our doorstep. We spend most of our time stocking the shelves and making sure everything is in its right place, though by midday things usually get a bit disorganized because of the rush. People come in from the main road looking for all sorts of everyday items, and we try to keep a bit of everything on hand. The shop isn’t very large, so we have to use every inch of space, even stacking things high up near the ceiling. We have an old ceiling fan that squeaks a bit when it's on the high setting. It can get quite loud with the buses and cars rushing past, but after a while, you stop noticing the noise. We have our regulars who stop by every morning for their essentials and we usually know what they want before they even ask. It’s a lot of standing and moving around, but it keeps us busy. The floor is a bit worn down from all the foot traffic over the years, and the lighting could probably be better, but it serves its purpose. We don't have any big signs or bright lights, just the stuff people need on a daily basis. It's a simple way to make a living and we like being part of the Madivala neighborhood.
