Ashish Provision

Ashish Provision is located at House No 580, right at Gullaua Chowk in the Garha area. We are quite close to Garhapan Bhandar, which everyone in Jabalpur knows. The shop is basically a small room on the ground floor. It is usually filled with the smell of spices and the jute bags that we keep the grain in. The chowk outside is always noisy with rickshaws and people talking, so it never feels lonely here. We have all the basic provisions like salt, oil, and different types of flour. I don't have a computer system, so everything is written down in a thick diary that stays on the desk. The wooden counter is quite old and has a few scratches on it. People from the nearby houses come by in the mornings for their milk and then again in the evening for whatever they forgot. I spend a lot of time just sweeping the floor and making sure the jars are closed tight against the ants. It is just a simple business. We don't have any big goals or fancy slogans. We just want to make sure the shelves are full when people come in. Sometimes I sit out on a plastic chair in the evenings to watch the traffic go by Gullaua Chowk. It is a busy life but it is what we have been doing for years now. We just provide what is needed for the local kitchens nearby.
