Bawa Confectioners & Kirana Store

You can find us over at Sector 33, right in the Ngef Ancillary Industrial Estate at number 5. Running a confectioners and kirana store means we are open pretty early to catch the people heading to work in the industrial area. Bawa Confectioners & Kirana Store is full of all sorts of things, from jars of sweets to bags of flour and lentils. It’s a bit crowded inside because we try to keep everything people might need in stock. The floor is old but we sweep it every morning before the first customer walks in. We spend a lot of time weighing things out or looking for a specific item a customer can't find on the shelves. It’s a lot of standing on your feet all day, but we get to talk to a lot of different people from the nearby factories. Sometimes the kids come in after school for a treat, and that’s always a busy time. We don't have a computer system or anything like that, just our ledger and a calculator. It’s a simple life, and while the work is constant, we like being the place where people stop for their daily needs. The industrial estate can be a bit gray and dusty, but inside the store, it's always got plenty of color from all the packaging. We just keep the shelves stocked and the door open.
