Chandra Kirana Store

Running Chandra Kirana Store in Palwal keeps us busy from the moment the sun comes up. We spend a lot of time weighing out pulses and packing sugar into smaller bags for the folks who stop by. The shop is filled with the smell of different spices and sometimes a bit of dust from the street outside. We try to keep everything in its place on the shelves, but it gets a bit crowded with all the boxes of biscuits and soap bars. People from around the corner come in to get their daily things, and we usually end up chatting about the weather or how the market is doing that day. It’s not a very big place, so you have to mind your step when we have new stock sitting on the floor waiting to be put away. We deal with many different suppliers, so there is always someone coming in with a delivery or a bill to settle. Palwal can be a noisy place, and the sound of the street is always there in the background while we work. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights, just the usual stuff people need for their kitchens. It is hard work staying on your feet all day, but it is what we know. We just focus on keeping the shelves full so nobody has to go home without what they came for.
