Kamal Kirana & Ganeral Store

The shop here in Phulera has been around for a bit now. We open up Kamal Kirana & Ganeral Store early in the morning, usually before the sun gets too high, just to make sure people can grab what they need before starting their day. Kanchroda Baya is a quiet enough spot but there is always someone coming by for a packet of milk or some pulses. I spend most of my time behind the counter or moving boxes around to keep things tidy. It’s not a huge place, just a regular store with the basics. Some days are busier than others, especially when the supplies arrive and I have to check everything against the lists. The shelves are mostly full of things families use every day. We don't really do anything fancy here. It's just about having the right items when someone walks in. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit there with the door open, waiting for the next person to stop by. Dealing with the distributors takes up a lot of my afternoon. I try to keep track of what people ask for so I can order it next time. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting sacks and counting change. People from around Phulera know where we are. It’s just how it is, day in and day out. Nothing complicated, just a small shop trying to keep things going for the neighborhood families.
