Radha Krishna Kirana & General Stores

Our shop, Radha Krishna Kirana & General Stores, is situated in the Hasmathpet area of Bowenpally in Hyderabad. We are at Shop No 2/24. It is a neighborhood where everyone seems to know each other, and we have been here long enough to be part of that. We sell all the usual kirana items like different types of dal, rice, cooking oils, and spices that people need for their daily meals. The shop is usually a bit crowded because we try to keep a lot of stock in a small area. You will see sacks of grain sitting on the floor and shelves packed with soaps and shampoos. It is a family-run business, so you will usually find me or one of my cousins behind the counter. We don't have any big marketing plans or anything like that. We just open the doors in the morning and wait for the neighbors to come in with their lists. Sometimes it gets a bit hectic when several people come at once and everyone is in a hurry. We try to work fast, but sometimes we make mistakes with the change or forget to put something in the bag. We just fix it and move on. It is a practical place for practical people. We don't have fancy decorations, just the items people actually use in their homes every single day. We are just glad to be working in our own neighborhood and seeing our friends every day.
