Vinayaka Kirana & General Store

Vinayaka Kirana & General Store is over in Hyderguda, Attapur. Specifically, we are at Shop No 2 in Sirimalle Homes. If you are familiar with the Janapriya Apartments, we are very close to that complex. Hyderabad is a big city, but this little corner of Attapur feels quite familiar to us. We keep all kinds of general items and kirana goods. The shop is small, but we make use of every inch of wall space for storage. People from Sirimalle Homes and the nearby apartments come in for their eggs, milk, and spices. It stays quite busy in the evenings when everyone is getting back from work. We have been here for a bit now, just doing our daily work. It’s a lot of lifting heavy bags and rearranging tins on the shelves. The 500048 area has a lot of families, so we mostly stock things that households need. There’s no big team here, just us handling the counter and the stock. Sometimes we have a chat with the regulars about the weather or the traffic on the main road. It’s just a standard neighborhood shop. We don’t try to be anything else. Just keeping the supplies ready for whoever walks in. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning till night every day of the week. We have to deal with the heat in the summer, which isn't easy in a small shop like this. You start to recognize which neighbors like which brands of tea or soap.
