Khadri Kirana Store

It’s just us here at the shop in Yarmaras Camp, right next to the post office. We’ve been running Khadri Kirana Store for quite a while now. It’s a small place, but we try to keep the shelves full of the things people in the camp need every day. You know how it is with a local kirana store, it’s mostly about having the basics like rice, dals, oils, and the snacks the kids come in for after school. My family helps out behind the counter, especially when it gets busy in the mornings or right before dinner time. We don't have a big fancy setup or anything. The building is simple, and sometimes the fans are a bit loud, but it stays cool enough. Being beside the post office makes it easy for people to find us when they are out doing their errands. We see the same faces every day, which is nice because we know who likes which brand of tea or who needs their groceries packed a certain way. Sometimes the delivery trucks come late, so we might run out of something for a day, but we usually get it back in stock pretty fast. We just open up early, sweep the front, and stay until the last few customers finish their shopping. It is a steady life here. Nothing too complicated, just keeping the pantry items ready for the neighbors. If you’re passing the post office, you’ll see our door open. We don't have any big signs, just the merchandise and a friendly nod.
