Deepak Kirana Store

Deepak Kirana Store is sitting right here in Village Jhareda. We are under the Post Office in Hindaun City, though the city itself is a bit of a distance away. This part of District Karauli is mostly quiet and filled with people we have known for years. One of the easiest ways to find us is to look for the Bank of Baroda because we are situated very close to it. Since the bank is right there, we get a lot of people coming in after they finish their bank business. They might need a bag of sugar or some spices for their cooking. We keep the basics like rice, lentils, salt, and matches. The shop is just a single room filled with sacks and jars. It smells like spices and old wood in here. We start our day early, usually before the sun gets too high, to sweep the front and get things ready. It gets quite warm in the summer months, so we have a small fan that hums in the corner. We don't have any fancy displays or anything. Everything is just stacked where we can reach it easily. People from around Jhareda come by to chat as much as they do to shop. We listen to the news on the radio and wait for the next customer to walk in. It is a steady life and we are happy to be part of this community near the bank. We just try to keep enough stock.
