Sai Kirana Store

Sai Kirana Store is right in the middle of New Friends Colony in Attapur. The address is 3-2-10/5 and it is a small shop that we try to keep stocked with all the daily essentials. We have sacks of grains sitting on the floor and shelves filled with different types of oils, spices, and snacks. It is a bit of a tight squeeze when more than two or three customers are inside at the same time. We know most of the families who live on this street and the next few blocks over. They come in for things like milk in the morning or maybe some sugar if they have run out in the middle of cooking. We do not have a computer for the billing, we just use a notebook and a calculator to keep track of everything. The shop is open early in the morning and we do not close until late at night. Sometimes the delivery trucks arrive at awkward times and we have to move things around to make room for the new stock. It can get quite tiring standing on our feet all day but we like talking to the neighbors who stop by for a chat while they shop. We do not have any fancy lights or displays, just the basic stuff that people need for their kitchens and homes. It is a simple life running a local kirana store in Attapur.
