Sakhi Kirana Jk

My name is Ajay and I run Sakhi Kirana Jk here on J K Road in Bhopal. We are right by Gate Number 5, near the Minal Bypass area. It’s a busy spot especially in the mornings when everyone is heading out. I started this place because I wanted to work for myself and stay close to home. The shop isn't huge but we try to keep all the basic stuff like lentils, rice, soaps, and snacks. Most days it is just me and one boy helping out with deliveries. We see the same faces every day, people from the neighborhood stopping by for milk or maybe just to say hello. Sometimes the trucks on the bypass make a lot of noise, but we are used to it by now. The shelves get a bit dusty with the road traffic so we spend a lot of time wiping things down. It is a simple life really. We open early around seven and stay open until late at night. Sometimes I forget to order certain things and then have to run to the main market myself. It gets hectic when the school kids come by for candy in the afternoon. We don't have fancy lights or signs, just the usual stuff you find in a local kirana. We just do our work and go home without making any big fuss about it. The shop is small but it is enough for our needs.
