Madina Kirana & General Stores

At Madina Kirana & General Stores, we spend our days at Door No 12-11-629/144 in Parsigutta. This is a residential part of Hyderabad called L Narayan Nagar. It is mostly families living around here, so we see the same faces every single morning. The shop is tucked into the neighborhood and it is quite peaceful compared to the city center. We keep the usual things like rice, oils, and household cleaning items. Our address is 500061 and we have been part of this community for a long time. The shelves go all the way up to the ceiling, so we have to use a small wooden stool to reach the items on the top. It is a simple life of counting change and weighing out sugar. The kids from L Narayan Nagar often stop by after school for a snack or a cool drink. We don't have a big team of people, just us working the counter and making sure the jars are full. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to use a torch to find things in the back, but the customers don't mind waiting a minute. We like the pace of life in Parsigutta. It is not about being the biggest store, it is just about being here when someone runs out of salt or tea leaves. The shop is our second home.
