Sri Raja Rajeswari Kirana & General Store

Sri Raja Rajeswari Kirana & General Store is located right in the Hyderguda area of Attapur, and if you are looking for us, we are quite close to the Balaji Nursing Home. Having a hospital nearby means we get all sorts of people walking in, not just the regulars who live in the houses behind the shop. Sometimes it is someone looking for a bottle of water or some biscuits while they wait for a patient, and other times it is just a neighbor coming in for their monthly supply of atta and dal. The shop is tucked into a spot where the sun hits the front window pretty hard in the afternoons, so I usually hang a bit of mesh or a curtain to keep the heat off the chocolates and soaps. We have been here for a while, and the floor has some scratches from moving heavy crates around, but it is a solid place. I spend most of my day sitting on the stool near the cash box, checking the inventory and making sure we do not run out of the milk packets in the morning. It is a simple life running a store like this. You talk to people about the weather or how the traffic in Attapur is getting worse every year. We don't have any computer systems for billing; I just write things down in a notebook if someone is buying on credit until the end of the month.
