Shivaani Super Market

Running Shivaani Super Market on Mydukur Road keeps us pretty busy from dawn till late at night. The shop is at Dr.No. 9 - 524, and it's right where the road gets a bit narrow, so there is always some noise from the scooters and cars passing by. We spend a lot of time stocking the shelves and checking the inventory. It feels like as soon as we put something out, someone comes in to take it home. That is good, of course, but it means a lot of lifting and carrying all day. We have the usual stuff people need for their kitchens and homes. It’s a lot of manual work, keeping track of what’s what and making sure nothing gets lost behind the bigger bags. The floor needs sweeping way more often than you'd think because of the dust coming off Mydukur Road. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us making sure everything runs okay. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to deal with that, but we manage. People stop in for small things mostly. We know most of the faces that walk through the door. It’s just a normal supermarket, nothing too complicated about it. We stay open pretty late because folks coming home from work need their groceries. It gets tiring but it is what we do here. We just try to keep things organized so people can find what they need quickly.
