Giriraj Kirana Store

Running Giriraj Kirana Store keeps me pretty busy from morning until night. We are situated near Sbop Booth 259, between Sector 52 and Sector 49. It is a bit of a unique spot because we get people from both sectors coming in. The store is basically a standard kirana shop. I spend a lot of my time weighing out sugar or flour and packing them into smaller bags. We don't have those pre-packaged fancy items you see in malls; we prefer doing things the old-fashioned way. The shelves are mostly filled with daily essentials like tea leaves, cooking oil, and soap bars. Sometimes the delivery trucks arrive late, and the shop gets messy with boxes everywhere, but I try to clear it up quickly. I don't really have a philosophy about business; I just open the shutters, wait for customers, and make sure I have what they ask for. If I don't have something, I try to get it for them by the next day. It is just me and one other guy who helps with the home deliveries around the sectors. The neighborhood is mostly quiet, which I like. Most of the people around here are workers or families who have lived in these sectors for ages. It is a practical way to earn a living, and I’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the sector life. No big goals, just keeping the store running and the shelves somewhat organized.
