Sri Laxmi Kirana & General Store

Sri Laxmi Kirana & General Store has been at P No 93/B for a while now. Most days I open early. It's usually quiet until the morning crowd comes in for milk or bread. I try to keep everything people ask for, from detergent to the specific spices used in our local cooking here in Venkatapuram West. Sometimes the delivery truck is late and I have to explain why we're out of something, but usually, the shelves stay full. It's a small space at H No 1-20-412 but we fit a lot in. Neighbors drop by to chat while they pick up their groceries. It gets dusty being near the road so there's always cleaning to do. My family helps out during the busy evening hours. We know most of the faces that walk through the door. It’s not a fancy supermarket, just a regular shop where you can get what you need without much fuss. If you live around Hyderabad 500010, you probably know where we are. We've got the usual stuff, soaps, dals, oils, and snacks for the kids. I spend a lot of time checking the expiry dates and making sure things are fresh. It’s hard work being on your feet all day but seeing the regulars makes it okay. We just keep doing what we do every day. There is always a lot of work to be done around the store.
