Siddeshwara Provision Stores

Our store, Siddeshwara Provision Stores, is on Jalahalli Nandi Durga Main Road. It’s a typical neighborhood shop where we sell things people need for their kitchens and homes every day. We have sacks of rice and dal, bottles of oil, and all the usual spices. The space is a bit cramped because we try to fit as much as we can onto the shelves. In the mornings, we get the milk deliveries and people coming in for their daily supplies before they go to work. It’s a lot of weighing things out and packing them into small bags. We know most of the customers by name because they live just a few houses away. We don't have a computer system to track everything; we just know what we have and what we need to order next. Sometimes we run out of something, and we just have to tell the customer to come back tomorrow. It’s not a supermarket with bright lights and music playing. It’s just a place to buy your groceries. We spend a lot of time cleaning the glass jars and sweeping the floor. The road outside can get very dusty, so it’s a constant battle to keep things tidy. We open early and stay open until late so that people can get what they need after their shift ends. It’s simple work, but it keeps us busy and part of the community here.
