Kanoonga Kirana & General Store

My shop is right here in Sindhi Colony, just off Kalwar Road in Jhotwara. It is a small place, really. Most days I am here by seven in the morning to get things ready before people start heading out for work. Jhotwara is always busy, you know? The noise from the main road carries over even into the colony. I’ve been at A-9 for a while now. Some days the fan in the corner rattles a bit too much and I have to give it a tap. I keep the usual stuff people need at home, like flour, lentils, and some snacks for the kids. I spend a lot of time just moving boxes around or checking what is running low on the shelves. It’s not a fancy place, just a regular kirana store where the floor gets a bit dusty by the evening because of the wind. Sometimes the neighbors stop by just to chat for a minute while they buy their milk. I like the routine of it. Even when it’s hot in the summer, sitting behind the counter feels right. I try to keep everything organized, but sometimes the crates pile up in the back. That’s just how it goes when you’re running a general store by yourself. Most of the people around here know where Kanoonga Kirana & General Store is. It’s just a part of the neighborhood, sitting there on the corner of the colony.
