Hari Provision Store

Hari Provision Store is over at 23/8 Sewa Gram Colony in the Dada Nagar area of Kanpur. We are positioned right opposite the Basant Sikhsha Nikunj School. This means our mornings and afternoons are usually timed by the school bell. When the kids come out, the shop gets really loud for a bit. We carry all the provision items that a household in 208022 might need. From lentils to matches, we try to have a bit of everything on the shelves. The shop has a bit of an old feel to it, with wooden cupboards and a heavy metal shutter. We spend a lot of time organizing the bags of flour and sugar in the back. It’s a lot of lifting, which can be tiring by the end of the day. Because we are in Sewa Gram Colony, we know almost everyone by name. It’s the kind of place where people come to buy their monthly supplies and end up chatting for ten minutes about the local news. We don't do any advertising. The school across the street is the best way for people to describe where we are. We just keep our heads down and make sure the shop is ready for the next day. It’s a practical life, serving the families in Dada Nagar. We don't have much in the way of decoration, just some calendars on the wall and the stacks of goods. Sometimes the delivery truck blocks the narrow road for a minute, but everyone is patient.
