Sree Venkateshwara Provision Store

We are located at 171/1 on the 11th Cross in JP Nagar. It’s a busy spot in the neighborhood. There is always someone walking by or a delivery bike parked right in front of the door. Sree Venkateshwara Provision Store is packed tight with all sorts of goods. We have stuff stacked all the way to the ceiling in some parts. If someone wants something from the top shelf, I have to get the old wooden ladder out from the back. It wobbles a bit when I climb it, but it hasn't let me down yet. We sell a lot of rice and pulses to the local families. I spend a good part of the morning weighing them out into smaller plastic bags for the customers. My hands usually have a bit of white flour dust on them by lunchtime. The floor is a bit uneven, so the tables sometimes rock if you lean on them too hard. I haven't gotten around to fixing that yet. It’s just part of the shop’s character now. Customers are mostly people from the nearby apartments. They come in after work, looking a bit tired, and grab what they need for their dinner. I try to keep the fresh milk packets right at the front so they can grab them and go quickly. The billing takes a bit of time because I do it all by hand in a book. It’s how I’ve always done it. Sometimes we run out of small change, and I have to ask the shop next door for some coins. It’s just the daily routine of running a store here.
