Yadav Kirana Store

The shop is right here on Tathed Nimoda Road in the Digod area. It is a simple place where we sell basic groceries and items people use in their kitchens every day. You can find things like lentils, rice, sugar, and different kinds of spices on our shelves. We also keep small things like matches, soaps, and biscuits for the kids who stop by after school. The road outside can get a bit dusty when the wind blows, but we try to keep the shop as clean as we can. It is not a very big store, but it has what the local families need so they do not have to travel far into the main town. Most days are the same, opening up early in the morning and staying until the sun goes down. We talk to the neighbors who come in to buy their milk or tea leaves. Sometimes the supply truck comes late, so we have to wait around to unload the sacks. Mostly, it’s just a regular kirana business run by local people. We do not have any fancy displays or anything like that. The shelves are made of wood and we know exactly where everything is kept. If someone needs a specific brand of soap and we don't have it, we try to get it the next time the distributor comes by. It is just about being here for the community and making sure people have their daily needs met. The fan on the ceiling wobbles a bit, but it keeps the air moving during the hot afternoons when it gets very quiet. We keep a small stool outside for anyone who needs to sit for a minute while they wait for their groceries to be packed up.
