Daya Shankar Provision Store

At Daya Shankar Provision Store, we focus on the basic necessities. Our address is 119/121, Bamba Road in Darshan Purwa. We are part of the Gumti No 5 neighborhood in Kanpur. The shop is filled with bags of rice, sugar, and different kinds of lentils. We don't have much room for anything else. It's a practical space. My father started this place, and I've been here since I was a kid. I remember the days when we didn't have as many brands to choose from. Now, the shelves are more colorful. We keep the prices written on a small board sometimes. It helps us remember when the wholesale rates change. The street outside is always busy with cycles and rickshaws. It can get quite noisy, but we are used to it. We close for a couple of hours in the afternoon when it gets too hot. Then we stay open late into the night. We don't use any fancy bags, just the plain ones. Most people bring their own cloth bags anyway. It’s a very traditional way of shopping. We don't have a big sign, just the name painted above the shutter. If you are in Darshan Purwa, you'll find us easily. We just keep things moving one day at a time. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s important for the families around here. We just try to get the quality of the grains right every time we restock.
