Mini Mart Kirana & General Stores

The shop sits right at 3-6-205/1/1 on Street Number 15 here in Himayat Nagar. It is not a very big place, just a regular store where we keep the daily things people usually run out of. Hyderabad gets really hot in the middle of the day, so things are pretty quiet then. I usually spend that time reorganizing the biscuit packets or checking the dates on the milk bottles in the cooler. We have been here for a while and most of the people who live in the apartments nearby stop in at least once a week. You can see the traffic moving up and down the main road from the doorway, but our street is a bit more tucked away. Sometimes the delivery guys struggle to find the exact house number because of how the lanes are laid out, but we eventually get our stock. We carry basic stuff like rice, pulses, cleaning supplies, and those small snacks kids like. There is a lot of dust that comes in from the road, so there is always a rag in my hand to keep the glass jars clean. It is just a simple way to earn a living. We do not have fancy lights or anything. The fan hums all day long and we just wait for the evening rush when people are coming home from work. It feels good to know the names of the folks who walk in and help them find what they need for their dinner.
