Surabhi Stores

Surabhi Stores is out on Kanakapura Road, about 21 KM in, at Vishveshwaraiah Puram, house number 25. It’s a small shop that carries the daily essentials people around here need. We have bags of rice, pulses, soaps, and those kinds of things tucked into the shelves. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside at once. We know most of the families who live nearby. They stop in for milk in the morning or some snacks for the kids in the evening. The store is part of our home basically. We don't have fancy displays or bright neon signs. It’s just a place to get your groceries without having to go all the way into the city center. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when it's quiet. The road can get busy with people heading out of town, but our customers are mostly local. We keep track of what people like to buy so we don't run out of the popular brands. It's a quiet life running a store like this. We aren't trying to compete with the big supermarkets. We just provide a convenient spot for the neighborhood. If a bag of flour breaks, we just clean it up and keep going. It’s honest and simple, and it keeps us connected to everyone living around Vishveshwaraiah Puram. We’ve been here for years and the shop has become a bit of a landmark for people looking for directions in this part of Kanakapura Road.
