Mohan Provision Store

Mohan Provision Store sits at 68, Venopa Nagar, right near the PKR Layout. We are right on Dharapuram Road, which is a very busy stretch of pavement. There’s a lot of movement outside our front door at all times of the day. We start our day when it is still dark outside to get everything ready for the early morning crowd. Most people are in a hurry to get to work or drop their kids off, so we have to be quick with the orders. We don't have any of those self-service machines here. You just tell us what you need and we get it for you from the shelves. It’s a lot of walking back and forth on the hard concrete floor. My legs get tired by the end of the day, but that’s just part of the job. We stock all the basic things that a kitchen needs to keep running. Bags of pulses, rice, oils, and the small things like matches and soap. The store smells like a mix of all these things, which is a smell I’ve grown to like over time. We don't have any fancy cooling systems, just the breeze that comes through the door when it’s not blocked by a delivery truck. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to check in on us and see how the family is doing. We’ve been here long enough that we feel like part of the furniture in Venopa Nagar. It’s a steady, simple life.
