Thakur Kiryana Store

We’ve been running Thakur Kiryana Store on Basai Road for quite a few years now. It’s a very busy road, so there’s always dust and the constant sound of horns. We sell all the daily essentials like grains, oil, soaps, and different kinds of spices. The shop is usually full of sacks and cardboard boxes. It’s hard work moving everything around, especially when the big shipments arrive on the trucks. My brother and I take turns at the shop to keep it open. We start early to catch the morning crowd before they head off to their jobs. Basai Road has changed so much; there’s way more traffic now than when we first opened the shutters. We don’t have any fancy displays or anything like that. It’s just the items on the shelves and the regulars coming in for their monthly rations. Sometimes someone stops by just for a pack of biscuits or a cold drink from the cooler. We try to keep things simple and honest. Writing this is a bit strange because we’re usually just busy with the scales and the ledger. If you’re driving down Basai Road, you’ll see us near the corner. It’s a humble spot, but it keeps us busy and part of the community. We know what our customers like, so we try to keep that in stock every week. It’s a lot of standing around during the quiet hours.
