Vijay Provision Store

We have been running Vijay Provision Store for quite some time now over at 50, Sankara Meditation Hall in Kalathur. It is a small place, mostly just the basic stuff people need every day for their kitchens. My father started this shop years ago and now I am here most mornings before the sun gets too high. We keep bags of rice, some lentils, and the usual spices people use in their cooking. It isn't a fancy place, just a regular shop where neighbors stop by to grab a few things on their way home. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty being so close to the road, but we try to keep it tidy enough. People know where we are. If you walk past the meditation hall, you really can't miss us. We have the usual snacks for kids too. It is a quiet life here. We don't have a big staff, just me and occasionally a cousin who helps out when things get busy around the holidays. Most of the regulars come in the evening after work to get milk or tea leaves. We know almost everyone's name around here by now. The shelves are wooden and a bit old, but they hold everything just fine. We don't bother with fancy displays or anything like that. Just the things you need. We open early because that is when the milk delivery comes. It’s a simple business in a simple part of Kalathur. Nothing more to it, really.
