Asha Bee Kirana Shops

Kousar Nagar is where we set up Asha Bee Kirana Shops. If you live around Kaghaznagar, you probably know the area. Our shop isn't very large, but we try to keep the shelves full of the things people need every day. We get up early to open the shutters and start arranging the bags of rice and flour. There’s always someone coming in for a small packet of salt or some tea leaves before they go to work. The floor gets a bit dusty from the street outside, so we sweep it a few times a day. We don't have any fancy displays. It’s just rows of jars and sacks. Sometimes the kids from the neighborhood stop by for a few sweets on their way home. We know most of our customers by their names because they have been coming here for years. It’s a simple life running a grocery store. We deal with the wholesalers every week to make sure we don't run out of the basics. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to use a torch to find things in the back. It’s just a normal part of the day. We don't use any big computers for billing, just a notebook and a pen. It works fine for us and the people who live nearby. We usually close up late after the last few customers finish their evening shopping for dinner.
