Gufran Kirana

You can find us at Shop -3 in Mominpura, which is in the Jinsi area of Bhopal. We are quite close to the Jail Bagh Road, so it's easy to spot if you're coming from that way. The shop is a simple kirana store where we sell the basics like dal, rice, and spices. We have these big sacks sitting on the floor and jars lined up on the counter. It's been our daily routine for a long time now. The street outside is usually full of kids playing or people heading to work. We spend a lot of time weighing out sugar or flour for the neighbors. It's not a quiet place, especially when the morning rush starts. We have a small stool behind the counter where we sit when things slow down for a bit. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we're too busy to worry about that right now. Bhopal gets quite chilly in the winter, so we usually have a small heater going then. In the summer, it's just the breeze coming through the open front. Most people who come in live right on this street or the next one over. We know what most of them want before they even ask. It’s just a regular life running a shop in Mominpura. No big frills, just selling what people need for their kitchens and chatting with whoever walks in the door. We stay open pretty late to make sure everyone is covered.
