Ramsingh Kirana And General Store

Ramsingh Kirana And General Store is located in Sivanagar, right in the Attapur area of Hyderabad. If you're looking for us, we're near Pillar No 153, which is a big help because the flyover changed how this whole neighborhood looks. We’ve seen the traffic grow year after year. The shop itself is a basic kirana setup. We’ve got the big plastic jars filled with different types of candy and the rows of dal and rice in the back. It gets pretty busy in the evenings when people are coming back from work. They stop their scooters near the pillar and run in for a few things. It’s a lot of heavy lifting, especially when the 25-kilo bags of rice come in. My hands are usually a bit rough from handling the gunny bags and the cardboard boxes all day. We don't have a big staff, so we do everything ourselves—cleaning, stocking, and talking to the customers. The lighting isn't the best, but we've added a few extra tubes so people can see what they're buying. We don't try to compete with the big supermarkets; we just stay here and provide the things that people need quickly. Sometimes we run out of things and have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s just the way it is when you’re running a small place in a crowded city like Hyderabad.
