Sharma Provision Store

Our small shop is at D-84 in Pandav Nagar, and it has been a part of this street for quite a while. We don't have a massive warehouse or hundreds of employees, just a simple space where we keep the essentials. Most of the people who come in live in the nearby apartments and houses, so we know their names and what they usually buy. Whether it’s a carton of milk in the morning or some candles when the power goes out, we try to have it ready. The space is a bit cramped with all the boxes of soap and bags of grains, but it’s a cozy kind of mess. We aren't trying to be the biggest store in Delhi, just a place that’s convenient for the locals. You won't find any complicated sales or marketing gimmicks here. We just buy what we think people need and put it on the shelves. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when it's quiet, watching the life in Pandav Nagar go by. If the shop gets a bit dusty, we give it a quick wipe, but it's a working store, not a museum. Dealing with wholesalers and keeping the inventory sorted takes up most of our time. It is a basic way to make a living, and we enjoy the daily interactions with the neighbors who stop by to pick up their bread, eggs, or just a little bit of salt.
