Siddoji Rao Stores

We’ve been here at number 34 on Ankur Road in Chamrajpet for a long time now. It’s just a regular store where people come for their daily things. My grandfather started it, and now we just keep it going every day. The shelves are a bit crowded, and sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly what you need, but we usually have it tucked away somewhere. Most people around here know us by name, and we know what they usually buy before they even ask. It gets pretty busy in the mornings when everyone is heading out. We open up early and stay until late. The street has changed quite a bit over the years, with new buildings coming up, but our spot stays pretty much the same. We don’t really do anything fancy here. It’s just about having the basic stuff people need for their houses. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the road for a bit, which can be a headache, but that's just how it is. We try to keep things organized, though it doesn’t always look that way to someone walking in for the first time. If you’re looking for something specific, just ask us. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just walk in, get what they want, and chat for a minute. It’s a simple way to run a business. We like being part of this neighborhood. It feels right being on this corner.
