Dk Kirana Store

Dk Kirana Store sits at 250 Nahir K Naka along the Shastri Nagar By Pass Road. It is a very busy spot because of all the heavy vehicles moving toward the highway bypass. We have a lot of dust coming in from the road so we are constantly wiping down the jars of candies and the stacks of soap bars. The shop at 250 is where we spend almost all our hours of the week. It is a typical kirana store with heavy bags of rice sitting on the floor and rows of spices filling the back walls. We don't have any air conditioning so in the peak of summer it gets quite warm inside the room. We just use a small plastic fan to keep the air moving a little bit. People living near Nahir K Naka come to us for their basic kitchen supplies and daily needs. It is a lot of small transactions throughout the morning and evening. A packet of milk here or a kilo of salt there. We don't have a website or any kind of fancy marketing. The sign hanging outside is a bit faded from the sun but everyone in the lane knows where we are. The bypass road noise is constant like a background hum that never stops. We open up the shutters early in the morning before the traffic gets too heavy. It is hard work staying on your feet all day but it is what we do.
