Sri Manjuneshwara Provision Store

People around JP Nagar know us mainly for being right here at Madiwala 64. It’s a busy spot but we manage. Sri Manjuneshwara Provision Store has been sitting on this corner for quite a while now. Most mornings start early, usually around six, getting the shutters up and seeing the milk crates arrive. The shelves are packed with all the usual things like rice, dals, and soaps. It’s not a fancy place by any means. The floor gets a bit dusty with all the foot traffic coming in from the main road. We spend a lot of time just organizing the packets or weighing out items for neighbors who stop by on their way home. There is always a bit of a rush in the evenings when everyone realizes they forgot something for dinner. Sometimes the lighting is a bit dim in the back, but we know where everything is kept. If someone asks for a specific brand of tea, we usually have it tucked away somewhere. It gets loud with the traffic outside, especially during peak hours. We don’t have any big signs or anything, just the name above the door. Most of our day is just handling change, bagging up groceries, and making sure the jars are filled up. It is a simple routine that keeps us busy from morning till night here in the heart of the neighborhood.
