Nivi Kirana Store

Nivi Kirana Store is located in the Mahveer Complex in Wakod Village. It is a small spot in the Jamner Taluka part of Jalgaon District. We are fairly close to the Pahur Post Office, so we see people coming and going to mail letters or collect their pensions. The complex itself is simple, and our shop is just one of the units along the row. In the village, news travels fast, and people usually stop by the store to hear what is happening. We keep the shelves stocked with the usual things like grains and soaps that everyone needs for their homes. The air in Jalgaon gets really dry and dusty, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the jars and packets. It’s not a big supermarket where you use a trolley. People just come to the counter and tell us what they need. We have a small bench outside where some of the older men sit and talk during the cooler parts of the day. The rhythms of Wakod are tied to the farming seasons, so we are busier at some times of the year than others. We don't have a website or anything like that. We just open the doors in the morning and wait for the village to wake up. It is a steady way of life and we have been in Mahveer Complex for a good while now, seeing children grow up and start coming in on their own to buy sweets.
