E Rice

Down here at E Rice in Kphb Colony, things are usually moving pretty fast. We are located near Sujana Mall in Kukatpally, which means there is always traffic and people walking by. The shop is basically filled with different kinds of rice bags stacked up against the walls. Some days it feels like we are just moving heavy sacks from one side of the room to the other. Customers come in looking for specific grains for their daily meals, and we do our best to help them find what they need. The humidity can get a bit much inside the store, especially when the afternoon sun hits the front. We have a small desk where we keep our books and take the cash. It's not a big corporate office or anything like that. Just a plain space where we sell rice to the local families living in the colony. Sometimes the delivery truck gets stuck in the Kukatpally traffic, and we have to wait around for a bit. We don’t have fancy displays or bright lights. Most people just know where we are and come in when they run out of stock at home. The floors usually have a bit of rice dust on them by the end of the shift. We just sweep it up and start again the next morning. It’s hard work on the back, carrying those heavy bags, but it is what we do to keep the business going.
