Sunitha Provision Stores

Sunitha Provision Stores is right in the heart of Revdi Bazar in Whitefield. It’s a small shop, but we pack a lot of things into the shelves. Most mornings start before the sun is even up, unloading the bags of rice and crates of goods that come in. The shop floor is always a bit crowded because we try to keep everything people might need. Revdi Bazar is a busy place, especially in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work. You can hear the bikes zooming past and people shouting greetings across the street. We’ve been here long enough that I know most of the people who walk through the door by name. We don't have any fancy lighting or modern displays. It’s just wooden shelves and old jars. Sometimes the cat from next door comes in to sit near the bags of pulses. I spend a lot of time weighing things out and chatting with the neighbors. It’s a bit dusty, especially when the wind blows through the bazar. We just keep things simple here. My hands are usually a bit dirty from handling the produce, but that’s just part of the job. It’s a lively spot to be in, even if it gets a bit chaotic during the festival seasons. We just focus on keeping the bins full and making sure the regulars get what they came for. Most days end with us sweeping the front and closing the heavy wooden door.
