Shankar Kirana Store

You can find us at Shop No.A4 in the Rico Shopping Center which is on Sikar Road. We are right on Road No-5, and it is a very busy area with plenty of other shops and people moving around. Our kirana store is a basic place where we sell things like pulses, rice, spices, and other daily staples for the kitchen. It is quite a small shop, so we have bags and containers stacked up almost everywhere you look. We have been here for a long time now, and most of the neighbors know exactly where to find us. The shopping center gets very crowded on the weekends, but we actually like the busy energy of the place. We start our day by pulling up the metal shutters and sweeping the front area. Sometimes the local dogs hang around the entrance, but they are mostly harmless and just want some shade. We still use a simple scale to weigh out the goods for our customers. It is mostly just me and one helper running the whole place. We do not have any fancy computer systems; we still do a lot of our tracking the old-fashioned way with a pen and a notebook. Sometimes we run out of a certain spice, and people have to come back the next day. We try to keep things simple so the local families keep coming. It is dusty work, but it is what we do.
