Rajal Provision Store & General

Rajal Provision Store & General is located right on the Gulabpura Hurda Road. It’s a busy spot because of all the people traveling between the two towns. We sell pretty much everything you’d expect to find in a neighborhood store. There are big plastic jars of candies on the front counter, and the back shelves are full of things like cooking oil, pulses, and cleaning supplies. Every morning starts with the milk delivery, and then it’s a steady stream of people coming in for their daily groceries. The road outside can get very dusty, so we spend a fair amount of time wiping down the jars and sweeping the floor. It’s a family-run kind of place, so you might see my kids helping out after school or my wife taking over while I go to get more stock. We have a small fridge for cold drinks and curd, which is very popular when the weather gets hot. Most of our customers are locals who live nearby, and we know most of them by name. We don't have any fancy scanners or anything, we just know the prices and write them down. It’s a simple life, running a shop on the Hurda Road. You see the seasons change by what people are buying, like more tea in the winter and more cold water in the summer. We just stay open and keep the shelves full for whoever stops by.
