Bafana Kirana & General Store

Our shop is located in the King Kothi area of Hyderabad. You will find it in the lane right opposite Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan. It is a pretty straightforward kirana and general store. We keep the usual things like rice, dal, oil, and whatever else people need for their kitchens. Since we are across from the school, we see a lot of parents and kids passing by in the mornings and afternoons. Sometimes it gets a bit hectic when the school bell rings and people realize they forgot to pick up something for dinner. The shelves are packed tight because the shop isn't huge. We spend a lot of time moving bags around and making sure the sugar is stocked. It gets a bit dusty being near the road, so there is always cleaning to do. We don’t have fancy displays or anything like that. It’s just wooden shelves and a counter where we weigh things out. The neighborhood has changed a lot over the years, but the lane stays the same. King Kothi is a busy place, and being at 500001 means we are right in the middle of it. We just focus on getting through the daily list of chores and helping whoever walks through the door. It’s a lot of work keeping track of all the small items, but that’s how a general store is. We are just local people running a local business for the folks nearby.
