Dhanalakshmi Provision Stores

It is pretty early when I open the shutters at Dhanalakshmi Provision Stores here in Miyapur. The morning air in Hyderabad is usually still a bit cool before the sun really starts hitting the pavement. I have been doing this for quite some time now, just getting the rice bags stacked and making sure the dal and oils are where they should be. People around here in the 500001 area know us mostly for their daily kitchen needs. It is not a very big place, just enough room for the essentials that families need every week. I spend most of my day behind the counter, weighing out items or checking the stock. Sometimes the delivery trucks come late, and that makes things a bit messy for an hour or so. We have a lot of regular faces who stop by on their way home from work to pick up some sugar or maybe a packet of tea. It is mostly just about keeping the shelves filled. I try to keep things organized but sometimes when it gets busy, boxes end up on the floor. That is just how a small shop goes. Most of our customers are neighbors who live just a few streets away. We talk about the weather or how expensive things are getting these days. It is just a simple life here in Miyapur. We don't have fancy displays, just the stuff people actually use in their houses every single day.
