Prava Store

My shop is located on Station Road in Gandhi Nagar. It’s number 8-20-264 if you’re looking for the exact door. Being near the station means we see a lot of people passing through. Some are just in a hurry to catch a train, while others live right around the corner. I opened Prava Store quite a few years ago. It’s not a huge place, but we crammed a lot onto the shelves. You’ll find snacks, soaps, and the basic things you realize you forgot at the last minute. The light in the back of the store flickers sometimes, I really should get that fixed soon. My nephew helps me on weekends when he’s not at school. We stay open late because of the train schedules. Sometimes it’s tiring, but I enjoy seeing the different faces. Gandhi Nagar is a busy area, so there’s always noise from the traffic. I usually sit on a wooden stool near the entrance. It's a bit dusty because of the road work nearby. People come in to ask for directions quite often. I don’t mind, it’s part of being here. We don't do anything special, just sell what people need. It’s a straightforward business. I keep the accounts in a thick ledger book by the till. It’s how I’ve always done it. The ceiling fan hums loudly when it is on the highest setting. It helps with the heat even if it is noisy for conversation.
