Nand Kishore Kirana Store

This is Nand Kishore Kirana Store. We have been operating out of Binod Nagar in Dhanbad for many years now. The shop is a basic setup, nothing flashy at all. We just have the usual racks and some glass jars for candies and loose items. Being in the 826001 area means we get a lot of local traffic from the houses nearby. Most people here know where we are because Binod Nagar isn't that big and we’ve been here a while. It’s a bit dusty sometimes because of the coal area surroundings but we try to keep the shop clean enough. We spend our days measuring out lentils or packing sugar for the customers. It's the kind of work that doesn't change much from year to year. We open the shutters early in the morning when the air is still a bit fresh. By afternoon, it gets quite warm and we usually sit under the fan while waiting for the next person to walk in. We don't use any fancy computers, just a notebook to keep track of what we need to order next. The stock comes in on trucks and we unload it ourselves. It's just a regular kirana store serving the people who live on this side of town. We don't have any big slogans or goals. We just want to make sure we have flour and tea leaves when someone needs them for their morning chai.
