Girraj Kirana Store

My place is Girraj Kirana Store, and you can find us in Roshni Garh, which is part of Inderganj in Gwalior. The pin code is 474001. I’ve been running this kirana store for quite some time now. It’s a small shop but we try to cram a lot of stuff inside. If you need rice or dal or just some spices for dinner, this is where you’d come. I wake up early every day to get the shutters up. The air in Gwalior in the morning is usually nice before the traffic starts. Inderganj is a busy area, so there are always people walking past the shop. I spend my time weighing out portions for customers and putting them into bags. I don’t use a lot of plastic if I can help it. Sometimes the shelves get a little messy because I’m in a hurry to serve everyone. I have to climb a ladder to reach the boxes on the top shelf, which isn’t as easy as it used to be. The lights in the shop aren't the brightest, but I know where everything is even in the dark. It feels good to be part of the neighborhood here in Roshni Garh. People stop by to chat about the news or just to say hello. It’s a regular routine that I’ve grown used to over the years. I just keep things going one day at a time without too much fuss or trouble.
