Bharat Provison & General Store

I spend most of my day at the shop here in Malviya Nagar, right by the Sabzi Mandi. It’s a busy spot, especially in the mornings when the trucks are unloading vegetables and the whole road gets narrow. We’ve been at 3C/1 for a while now. The shelves are usually packed with whatever people need for their kitchens. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty because of the traffic outside, but we try to keep things tidy enough. It isn’t a fancy place with bright lights or anything like that. It’s just a regular store where you can grab your dal, rice, or some soap without much fuss. My brother helps out in the afternoons when it gets really hot. We have a small fan that doesn't do much, but we get by. The neighbors know us by name, and we know who likes which brand of tea. Most days start early, around seven, and we don't really close until the sun is well down and the market goes quiet. There is always some inventory to check or a bag that needs moving. It’s just work, really. Nothing too special about it, but it keeps us busy and the pantry full. People come in, complain about the prices of onions next door, and pick up their biscuits. That’s how the day goes by in this part of town. We are just a local general store trying to keep things moving.
