Rohit Kirana Store

Rohit Kirana Store is my place, located at 58 Ramgad Road over in the Chawand Ka Mand area of Jaipur. It’s a basic kirana shop where we keep all the essentials like flour, pulses, and cooking oil. The address is near the Jaipur G P O. I started this shop because there weren't many places around here for people to get their daily food items without going too far. It’s not a big supermarket, just a local store where you can get what you need for the day. The road outside can get quite dusty, especially when the wind picks up in Jaipur. We have been here for several years now and the neighbors all know me. I spend most of my day sitting on the stool waiting for customers and rearranging the packets on the shelves. Sometimes my son helps out when he is not at school. We don't have a lot of space, so things are stacked quite high. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside. We just try to be honest and give people the right weight for their money. Running a shop like this isn't easy, but it’s steady work. We see the same faces every morning when people come for their milk. It’s just a normal life here on Ramgad Road, keeping the store running and serving the community. I usually close up around nine in the evening. It’s a long day but I’m used to it now.
