Jai Shri Krishan Kirana Store

The shop is tucked away in Gali Number 1 of Main Shyam Park. Being so close to L. R. College means we get all sorts of people coming in. Some days it is just students looking for a quick snack or a pen, and other days it is the local families from Sahibabad buying their monthly rations. We have been here in Ghaziabad for a while, and the neighborhood has changed quite a bit around us. I remember when there weren't so many houses here. Now, it’s always busy. We keep the shelves packed with whatever we can fit. It gets a bit cramped sometimes when three or four people are inside at once, but we make it work. I don't really bother with fancy displays or anything. We just put the sacks of rice and lentils where people can see them. My hands are usually dusty from moving boxes or weighing out sugar. It is a long day, starting before most people are awake and closing up late when the streetlights are already on. We don't have a website or anything like that, just this small space in Shyam Park. People know they can find us if they need something basic for their kitchen. It is just a regular kirana store, nothing more and nothing less. We just try to keep enough stock so nobody has to go back empty-handed. It is just what we do every day without making a big fuss about it.
