Khushi Stores

If you live in Vaishali Nagar, you might have walked past us at Nemi Nagar 134. Khushi Stores is just a regular neighborhood shop where we sell the things people need for their houses every day. It’s not a supermarket where you get lost in the aisles. We have everything from flour and lentils to soap and snacks stacked on the shelves. It’s often a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are in the shop at once. I spend most of my day behind the counter, weighing out items or checking the milk delivery in the morning. We know most of our customers by their first names and we know what they usually come in for before they even ask. The mornings are always the most hectic because everyone is trying to get things before school or work starts. Then it gets quiet in the heat of the afternoon, and that is when I get a chance to restock the shelves or have a cup of tea. It’s a nice way to live, being right in the middle of the community. We don't do any delivery apps or anything like that. People just walk over, have a little chat about the weather, and take their groceries home in a bag. It’s a practical business and it has been at this same spot for years, serving the families who live on this street.
