Reena Kirana

Reena Kirana is my little shop located in Karni Nagar, Jaipur. The address is 1, Reena Kirana, and the pin code is 302021. It’s a quiet enough area, but the shop stays fairly busy throughout the day. I open up early when the air is still a bit cool before the Jaipur heat really sets in. Most of the day is spent weighing out things like sugar or lentils and putting them into bags. The shelves are packed with all the usual groceries that the families around Karni Nagar need. I don’t have any fancy displays or a big staff to help me out. It’s mostly just me standing behind the counter. The floor is made of simple stone, and it gets a bit dusty because of the wind around here. I know most of the people who come in because they live just a few houses away. We talk about the weather or the news while I pack up their things. It’s a very local kind of place. I don’t use any complicated systems for the shop; I just keep track of everything in my head and a small notebook. Sometimes I have to move the heavy sacks around, which isn't easy, but it’s part of the job. I’ve been in this spot for years, and I don’t plan on going anywhere. It’s just a simple kirana store for the neighborhood, and it keeps me busy enough from Monday to Saturday.
