Shri Shyam Kirana Store

I've been running Shri Shyam Kirana Store here on Panchyawala Road for a while now. The shop is at number 67, right near Karni Palace in the Suraj Nagar part of Vaishali Nagar. It’s a busy little stretch of road. Most days I start early, getting the milk crates inside before the sun gets too high. The shop isn't anything fancy to look at, just shelves full of the usual things people need like flour, sugar, and different kinds of dals. We try to keep everything stocked up, but sometimes we run out of things when the delivery truck is late. People from around the neighborhood drop by all day. Some just want a packet of biscuits or some matches. Others come in with long lists for the whole month. I know a lot of the faces by now. We talk about the weather or the traffic on the main road. It gets pretty dusty inside because of all the cars going past, so I spend a lot of time wiping down the jars. My nephew helps me out in the afternoons when it gets crowded. We have a small fan behind the counter that makes a clicking noise, but it keeps us cool enough. It’s just a regular local shop where you can get your kitchen supplies without much fuss. We don't have those fancy scanners, so we just write things down or remember the prices. It works out fine for us and the people living around here. There is always something to do, like checking the expiry dates or reordering rice. We just keep things moving along.
