Corner Stores

Corner Stores is also down on B T Road in Cossipore. Kolkata is a city that never really stops, and this part of town is no different. Being on such a major road means there is always someone walking by. We have a lot of people dropping in for quick things while they wait for a bus. The shop itself is pretty basic. We have been here for years, watching the traffic change and the old buildings get repainted. It is a bit of a struggle sometimes with the dust from the road, but we do our best. We are not a big supermarket, just a local corner shop where you can have a quick chat while you buy your stuff. The regulars often stay for a minute to talk about the weather or the local news. We like being part of the daily routine for people in Cossipore. It is hard work staying open all day in the heat, but it is what we do. The shelves are a bit cramped, but we know exactly where everything is kept. It is a practical little place for the folks around B T Road. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just keep the doors open and the goods ready for anyone who needs them.
