Agrawal Store

We are located in the Vijay Nagar area of Indore, specifically at Shri Shardhha Colony. It is a residential neighborhood, so we see the same faces every single day. The store is near the Barfani Dham, which brings in some extra people on certain days of the week. Inside, it is a bit of a maze because we try to stock everything from pulses and grains to school notebooks and pens. I often have to climb a rickety ladder to get things from the top shelves, which makes my knees ache by evening. We keep the onions and potatoes in big baskets near the door. The scale we use is a bit old, but it still works perfectly fine. My wife helps out in the afternoons so I can take a short nap or go pick up some fresh stock from the market. We don't have a big sign outside, just the name painted on the wall, but everyone around here knows where we are. The electricity goes out sometimes in the summer, and we just sit outside on plastic stools until it comes back on. It is a small business and we don't try to make it look like anything else. We just sell what people need for their kitchens and homes. The ledger books are piled up in a corner, full of years of accounts. It is just a steady, quiet way to make a living.
