Md.Nizam Uddin Kirana & General Store

Our shop is at 15-1-174 Afroz Nizam Manzil in the Feelkhana area. It is right opposite the Taj Hotel lane. You can't miss it because we are beside the Osmania Masjid. When the prayer starts, I usually take a small break. Md.Nizam Uddin Kirana & General Store is a family thing. We have all sorts of stuff piled up to the ceiling. It is hard to find things sometimes. I have to remember where I put the crates of cooking oil last week. Hyderabad gets very hot in the summer and the shop feels like an oven. I drink a lot of water and keep the fan on high speed. People come in for their monthly groceries. They bring long lists written on the back of envelopes. I spend a long time picking out the items and bagging them up. The counters are old wood and they are worn down from years of use. I do not mind it. It shows we have been here a long time. Sometimes the kids from the lane come in with just one rupee. I find them something small. It is a busy neighborhood with a lot of noise and people shouting. I am used to it by now. The address is 15-1-174 and we stay open late most nights. It is just a regular life of selling grains and household items to the people nearby. I just hope the rains aren't too bad this year because the roof leaks a little.
