Srinivasa General Stores

Srinivasa General Stores is a small spot at 15/4 in Nutakki. It’s been here for quite some time, and not much has changed over the years. We carry a bit of everything, from soap and shampoo to bags of lentils and spices. The store is packed from floor to ceiling, so you have to know exactly where things are or you’ll be searching for a while. I’ve lived in Nutakki my whole life, so I know most of the families who come in to shop. We see the same people every week, sometimes every day if they just need a small item for their kitchen. It’s a simple life, opening the shop early and closing late in the evening. There’s a small wooden counter where I sit, and I keep all the accounts in a thick ledger book by hand. Computers seem like too much trouble for a place like this. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to use candles or torches to see the back shelves. It gets hot in the summer, but the front door stays open to catch whatever breeze there is. We don't do any advertising or anything like that. People just know we are here. It's just a basic store providing what the local folks need for their homes without any extra fluff or complications. My son helps out on the weekends when it gets a bit busier than usual and I need a break.
