Kumar Kirana &General Store

You can find Kumar Kirana &General Store on Rajendranagar Road in Hyderabad. We are situated in the Chintalmet-Attapur area, right beside Royal Bawarchee, so the smell of biryani is always in the air here. It’s a very lively part of the city. We start our day early, making sure all the sacks of rice and flour are arranged properly at the front. The store is usually filled with the sound of the traffic outside and the chatter of neighbors stopping by to pick up their weekly groceries. Since we are on a main road, it never really gets quiet until very late. We carry a bit of everything, from spices to household cleaners, because you never know what someone might ask for. The shelves are a bit cramped, and sometimes it takes a minute to find a specific brand of tea, but we know where everything is hidden. It’s mostly just us working here, so if it gets busy, customers have to wait a little bit while we weigh the goods. We don’t have fancy billing systems; we mostly just write things down or remember the prices. It’s a bit old-fashioned, I guess, but it works for the people who live around Rajendranagar. The 500048 zip code area has grown a lot lately, but our shop stays pretty much the same as it was years ago. We just keep doing our work and watching the city go by.
