Lucky Kirana & General Store

Lucky Kirana & General Store is located at S/279 in the Police Line area, right at Neharu Nagar Square in Bhopal. We are pretty easy to find because we are near the Jain Mandir and also close to the Indian Gas Agency. The 462003 zip code area is quite a busy residential spot, so there is always someone coming in for something they forgot to buy earlier. The shop itself is not very large, but we make use of every inch of space we have. I have bags of grains on the floor and rows of jars on the shelves. It is a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside at the same time. I have lived in Bhopal my whole life and being here at Neharu Nagar feels right. The morning air is usually a bit fresh before the traffic picks up near the square. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to use a small battery light to see the labels on the cans. It is just part of the daily routine here. I don't have any big plans to change things; I just want to keep the shop running as it has been. My customers are mostly neighbors who have been coming here for years. They know where I keep the matches and where the soap is, so sometimes they just grab what they need and bring it to the counter. It is a humble place near Nehru Na.
