Arya Provisional Store

Arya Provisional Store is based in Jawahar Nagar in Palwal. This is a residential area, so we mostly see the same faces every single day. We sell all kinds of household goods like cleaning supplies, grains, and snacks. I start the day early, around seven, to get everything ready for the people who come in before work. The shop is quite packed with boxes because we don't have a separate storage room. We just stack things wherever they fit. It is a humble place and we don't try to make it look like a big supermarket. We just want to make sure we have the salt or the soap that someone forgot to buy. My son helps out in the evenings after his classes. We have a small television in the corner that we watch when there are no customers around. Sometimes the heat in Palwal gets unbearable, so we just sit near the cooler and wait for the sun to go down. People around here are friendly and they often stop by just to say hello even if they don't need to buy anything. It is a very simple way of living and working. We don't have any big plans, we just hope to keep the store running for the neighborhood for a long time. It’s a lot of small tasks that fill up the day.
